The Shield of Faith

A Working Definition of Faith
When missionary John Paton was translating the Scriptures for South Sea islanders, he was unable to find a word in their vocabulary for the concept of believing, trusting, or having faith. He had no idea how he would convey it. One day while he was working in his hut, a native came running into Paton’s study and flopped into a chair, exhausted. He said, “It feels so good to rest my whole weight in this chair.” Instantly John Paton knew he had his definition: Faith is resting your whole weight on God. That meaning helped bring a whole civilization to Christ.
MacArthur, J. (1992). How to Meet the Enemy (p. 111). Wheaton, IL: Victor Books.

Habakkuk 2:4-6, Hebrews 11:1

Faith is simply put, Trusting completely and totally in God’s Word and God’s Character even when your circumstances and your eyes tell you not to.

A Working Companion Our of Faith

Obedience: When faith is lived out it produces obedience.

Romans 16:19-20

Joshua and the Battle of Jericho

Number 13:33, Hebrews 11:30

POINT: Spiritual Victories Are Only Achieved Through Faith and Obedience Working Together.

Dangers Of Over Spiritualizing Your Faith

Not all victories are achieve in the same exact manner.

Walls of injustice will not fall if you march around them seven times. If you have a dispute with your neighbor, marching around his house 7 times will not make his roof cave in.

Jesus healed many people in many different ways.

Not All Outcomes Are What You Desire, But How God’s Power Will Rest Upon You.

Your life is an example for all to see

2 Corinthians 12:7-10

Faith That Conquers is Great Faith, Faith That Continues Is Even Greater Faith.”

Hebrews 11:32-40
