No Need to Defend
There's an old saying you no doubt have heard, "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink." God has made his word available to everyone, and it contains everything needed to lead us to Him and show His will.
The one thing God has no control over is how much word we get into ourselves. That is totally ours to do. The greatest example we have is Jesus. In Matthew chapter 4, Jesus is led into the wilderness by the Holy Spirit. While there, satan comes to tempt Him away from God. Jesus never did battle with His own words, He used the word every time.
Satan has no defense against the word. The same is true for you and me. If we get in the habit of speaking the word when challenged, it puts us in the driver's seat, so to speak.
Here is a truth- we do not need to defend God, He can take care of Himself! When we speak the word, God has put Himself into that word, so it's the same as if He is speaking it.
