Built for Battle
1. Expansion Always Brings Spiritual Resistance
Josh 1:2,4 Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross over into the land I am about to give to them. Your territory will expand and extend
As 14:21 They preached the gospel to that city and made many disciples
2 Cor 4:4 The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers so they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ
2. The Shield Of Faith Quenches All The Fiery Darts Of The Wicked One
Eph 6:11-12,16 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
● Quench the fiery explosive arrows of the enemy with a soaked shield
● Wicked – sorrow, pain, evil, malignant, malicious, ill, or viscous
● When a flaming arrow hits its target, our emotions, it can throw our
emotions into a state of rage, anger, anxiety, unbelief, worry etc.
● If the devil’s fiery arrows have been effective in throwing you into
rage, anger, anxiety, fear, unbelief and discouragement it is evident there is a crack in the shield of faith, and it’s been neglected.
1 Cor 10:13 when you are tempted, he is faithful to provide a way of escape so that you can endure it (the shield of faith is the escape)
Heb 2:3 how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation?
Rom 10:17 faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Eph 5:26 sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word
Josh 1:8-9 This Book shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall read [and meditate on] it day and night, so that you may be careful to do [everything] written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. 9 Have I not commanded you to be strong and courageous? Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.
Ps 27:12-14 Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries; For false witnesses have risen against me, and such as breathe out violence. 13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the Lord In this life. 14 Wait (hope) on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!
1 Jn 5:4 This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Lk 22:32 I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail.
3. The Shield Of Faith Empowers Us For Explosive Kingdom Advancement
Eph 6:16 you will be (able) to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one
● Be able (dunamis) explosive power or dynamic power
● When we’re strong in Faith this activates the power of God
● When the power of God and faith are operating in our lives, we are
like huge army tanks moving forward taking territory with no losses
Heb 10:38-39 my righteous ones will live by faith. I take no pleasure in the one who shrinks back. But we do not belong to those who shrink back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved.
Mk 16:15,19 And he said to them, Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature... Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.
Acts 26:18-19 open their eyes, so they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God. Then they will receive forgiveness for their sins and be given a place among God’s people, So then, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the vision from heaven.
