Ephesians 6: 10-16
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of
God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle
against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic
powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly
places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the
evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.
14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of
righteousness, 15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of
peace.
16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming
darts of the evil one;
1. Real faith trusts in the promises of the Lord

How can I strengthen my faith?

• Sit under good teaching
• Regular fellowship with believers
• Prayer
• Fix your eyes on things unseen

2. Real Faith protects us from the attacks of the enemy
3. Real faith leads us to obey the Lord

How can I live out may faith?

• Begin by working on what you believe…what you know.
• Think Biblically
• Practice small acts of faith
• Do something radical for the Lord
• Watch your faith grow
• One Big Idea:
• Our faith is a shield that protects us from the enemy and allows us to radically serve the Lord.
