5 OF 7 | YOUR SHIELD OF FAITH IN SPIRITUAL WARFARE
Spiritual Warfare Part 5 - Shield of Faith, May 19, 2024
Intro: Space Shuttle
Ephesians 6:16 (NIV2011)
16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
We are to take up the shield of faith
We are to take up the shield of faith
By acting on what God says is true
Taking up the shield of faith:
- Is more than believing
James 1:22 (NIV2011)
22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.
James 2:17 (NIV2011)
In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
Example: Going to the doctor
Example: Fall to temptation to sin
James 1:14-15 (NIV2011)
14 but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. 15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
Taking up the shield of faith:
- Is more than believing
- Is more than a feeling
Example: Movie on TV
Application: “Follow your heart”
 
Taking up the shield of faith:
- Is more than believing
- Is more than a feeling
- Is more than sight
Hebrews 11:1 (NIV2011)
1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
2 Corinthians 5:7 (NIV2011)
7 For we live by faith, not by sight.
Application: Misnomer about faith and knowledge
Example: Electromagnetics
“I’m not remotely embarrassed to be a Christian and a scientist. In fact, it’s the other way around, because Christianity gave me my subject.” Dr. John Lennox
Closing: House on fire
