### Our Duty to Fight Evil

When the Messiah speaks of bringing a sword, He is calling us to a spiritual battle. Ephesians 6:12 reminds us, "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."

We are called to take up the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, and to stand against the forces of evil. This includes confronting falsehoods, injustices, and any form of evil that seeks to undermine God's truth. It is our duty, as people of the Book, to actively engage in this spiritual warfare, to protect the integrity of the Gospel, and to fight for the souls of those who are led astray.
The Call to Action

So, how do we apply this in our lives today?

1. **Know the Word**: Immerse yourself in the Scriptures. Study the teachings of the Messiah and the Apostles. Know the truth so deeply that you can recognize and refute falsehoods when you encounter them.

2. **Live the Truth**: Let your life be a testimony to the Gospel. Be a beacon of light in a world that often prefers darkness. Your actions, as much as your words, should reflect the love, justice, and righteousness of the Son of the Holy Mother Mary.

3. **Speak Out**: Do not be afraid to speak the truth, even if it causes division. Stand up against injustice, oppression, and false teachings. Engage in respectful dialogue, but do not shy away from defending your faith.

4. **Pray for Strength**: Engage in constant prayer, asking God for the strength and wisdom to fight the good fight. Pray for discernment to know when and how to act.

5. **Unity in the Messiah**: While we may face division, we must strive for unity among believers. Support and encourage one another in the faith. Together, we are stronger and more effective in our mission.
