Spiritual Warfare

One of the ways Roman soldiers used their shields in battle was to stand side by side, shields abutting one another, creating a solid wall of protection and defense against the enemy. In the same way, faith in Christ is designed by God to be lived side by side with other believers. What happens when we pull away from fellowship? How does fellowship with other Christians help us defend ourselves and stand firm in a spiritual battle? Listen today as Pastor Peter Atkin continues teaching on “the shield of faith” in Ephesians 6:16, part of his series on the armor of God.

“Faith apprehends as a real fact what is not revealed in the senses. It rests in the fact, acts upon it, and is upheld by it in the face of all that seems to contradict it.” Marvin Vincent (Vincent’s Word Studies in the New Testament) – What do you understand about faith, and the way faith engages us with God? What is faith? How do faith and works coexist? What does faith have to do with spiritual warfare and the schemes of Satan? Pastor Peter answers all these questions in today’s message on the shield of faith, from Ephesians 6:10-18.

“Truth is both constricting and freeing. It certainly limits our options and defines things strictly, but to know that you’re doing what is right and by definition the best when you follow the truth of God, it frees us from insecurity and fear and caring too much about people’s opinions.” Pastor Peter Atkin – A Roman soldier’s uniform included an armored breastplate, designed to protect the front of his body, and especially his heart. Is it any wonder Paul would include the breastplate of righteousness in his description of the different parts of the armor of God? How seriously do you take the guarding of your heart?

Many Christians are being lulled into sleep and tantalized to death by the pursuit of things that are not God’s priorities. In the meantime, the truths found in Scripture are being ignored, compromised, and distorted. Jesus warned that the man who doesn’t put His words into practice builds his “house” on shifting sand, and will not be able to stand when storms come. Is it any wonder Satan actively tries to convince us that the word of God isn’t true, causing many to lose their confidence and peace, compromise their witness and even lose their faith? Listen as Pastor Peter Atkin continues his series on the armor of God, teaching on the “belt of truth” in Ephesians 6:13-14.
