Romans 10:17 says faith comes by hearing the word of God.  This faith, which comes by the word of God, serves as a shield against attacks aimed at dislodging the word from us.  Unable to dislodge the word from our hearts because it is held in place by our faith, the enemy then seeks to attack our faith.  He tries and challenges our faith by throwing as much heat at us with the flaming arrows described in Ephesians 6:16.  The authenticity of our faith is tested during this trial by fire.  When our faith remains steadfast and unmoveable, the same fire which came to burn out our faith is in fact extinguished by our faith.

 

The shield of faith enables the people of God to move into enemy territory to advance the Kingdom of God.  By faith, Abraham left his country to dwell in the land of promise.  By faith, Sarah received strength to conceive and bear a child.  By faith, Moses and the people of Israel passed through the Red Sea, and by faith the walls of Jericho fell down.

 

By faith, in 1999, a local outreach ministry I serve in began ministering in an area that was commonly referred to as an open air drug market.  By faith, the members of the ministry began ministering to drug dealers and drug users about the love of Jesus.  By faith, ministry went forth during drug transactions and an occasional police raid.  By faith, no harm came to the members even during disputes among the folks in the community.  By faith, the drug dealers left the area for good.  By faith, drug users became clean of drugs.  Today, by faith, the ministry members along with the community sing praises to an almighty God who cleaned up the area where darkness used to reside.

 

This shield of faith, which protects the saints of God from the flaming arrows, keeps the word of God firmly in the hearts of God's people so the word can manifest as the sword of the Spirit to strike down spiritual wickedness in high places.  Raise up your shield of faith my brothers and sisters and see the salvation of the Lord!

Amen!  Praying for you!  What a great testimony of faith!

As the man talking to Jesus said ....  "Lord, I believe!  Help Thou my unbelief!"  Amen.

My prayer is that the Lord will help my unbelief and help grow my faith.  Amen.

 

Peace to you and God bless,

By faith, a disciple disciples another to become strong enough in Him to be able to yield a shield strong enough to ward off the fiery darts of the enemy. A child never fights a battle, but the mature do. Raise up a disciple in faith and you will have a warrior for Christ.

And even faith is a gift from God, so no man can boast.

I agree.  No man should boast in him or hershelf but it is a good thing to boast in the awesomeness of our God!

    • Exhortation - October 24, 2024

      Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry,

      You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • The Simchat Torah War -- Is this a Water Breaking Moment of Revival?

      George posted a topic in Biblical Topic Videos,

      George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
