The sword of the Spirit, which is the WORD OF GOD, is God's communication/relationship to me.Because of our weakness, our own flesh, and the imperfection and distractions of this life, we will forget who our God is and who we are before Him. These are the two outcomes that are destined to happen if we do not take time to listen to Him speaking through His Word:
A) We will either forget the frailty of our humanity and be filled with pride, or

It is by this sword that He purifies and sanctifies us (diminishing our fallen self and making us more like Christ) and brings us to a proper balance of the truth.
