Faith, Salvation and The Word
Verse
“Above all, taking the shield of faith… And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” Ephesians 6:16–17
Teaching
The enemy sends thoughts, accusations, fears, and temptations, like fiery darts. You cannot stop every dart from being fired, but you can stop it from entering. Faith is always your answer and defence, and unbelief your worst exposure. Jesus’ answer to the question “What shall we do to work the works of God?'“ was “Believe!” (Jn 6: 28). Salvation guards your head because a saved person must learn to think like someone rescued, redeemed, and seated with Christ; none of those is the product of your self-effort. The Word is your sword; do not carry it closed but learn to answer with “It is written”! Today, answer every dart with Scripture.
Quote
“Faith does not deny the arrow; faith lifts the shield.”
Instruction
Write down the fiery darts currently coming against you. Opposite each one, write a Scripture that answers it. Determine to answer with faith and a scripture as your habit.
