In addition to all (Ephesians 6:16).
God teaches us what faith is:
A solid conviction resting on God’s words that makes the future present and the invisible seen. (Hebrews 11).
God gives us the shield of faith.
God’s gift of faith is a good defense. (A defensive stance).
Living on Offensive faith:
We are not called to be fortresses. (Great Commission).
Faith is an action word. Actions give evidence to our faith.
Faith on the offensive follows God wherever He leads.
It is God’s armor, not ours.
Following the example of others:
Abraham modeled faith through the unknown.
A father’s honest faith (Mark 9:14-27).
Understanding attacks on faith:
The enemy attacks faith through worry.
The enemy attacks faith through fear & doubt.
Increasing our faith:
Faith comes by hearing the Word of God.
Faith comes by trusting the Word.
Faith comes by living the Word.
