vs. 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
When I look at the heroes of faith I see men and women - who overcame, who stood, who believed inspite of being surrounded by doubt and unbelief, men and women who crossed the line of the unknown, who crossed the line of lack of human affirmation, who stood against the powers of the unseen, who stood faithful to the one who calls us to FAITH.
Faith wins - overcomes obstacles/temptations.
1 John 5:4-5 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world, And this is the victory that has overcome the world - our faith. Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
Faith see’s the impossible.
Mark 9:23 Jesus said to him, If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.
Faith see’s past the pain.
2 Cor. 4:14-16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
Faith moves mountains.
Mark 11:22-24 Jesus answered and said to them, Have faith in God. For assuredly , I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, be removed and be cast into the sea and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that hose things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.
Faith pleases God.
Heb. 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him..
Faith comes from hearing the Word of God.
Rom. 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Faith has a voice.
2 Cor. 4:13 And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, I believed and therefore I spoke, we also believe and therefore speak,
Faith is lived.
Rom. 1:17/Heb. 10:38 The Just shall live by faith.
