SHIELD OF FAITH

SHIELD OF FAITH

Ephesians 6:16 ” In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.”

The Scene: Faith shield- Church colors representing: 1)Yellow, eternal life in heaven. 2) Blue, baptism into the body of Christ. 3) White, forgiveness of sin by the Father. 4) Green, growth in the knowledge of God. 5) Purple, the cross of JesusChrist. 6) Black, sin.

Three vertical bars representing the Trinity: the black swirl around the shield; the presence of temptation to sin lurking around God’s people, looking for a weakness so that sin can come into our lives, to steal, kill and destroy. (See John 10:10)

Faith leads to trust; and that trust in God’s promises leads true believers to righteousness, if we will act there upon.

Romans 4:13,16 ” It was not through the law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith. Therefore the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham’s offspring– not only those who are of the law but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham.”

Righteousness is the result of walking the walk and talking the talk, which takes the true believers in Jesus Christ on the path to maturity and upward in purity. Victory in righteousness is the goal.

Psalm 37:29 ” The righteous will inherit the land and dwell in it forever.”

To begin this walk of faith requires patience, perseverance and commitment to follow Jesus Christ, where ever He takes us.

IN HIS FOOTSTEPS

IN HIS FOOTSTEPS

1 John 2:6 ” Whoever claims to live in Him must walk as Jesus did.”

“Stay in the path of righteousness”, the Holy Spirit says, which is how we follow in His (Jesus’) footsteps.

Psalm 119:133 ” Direct my footsteps according to your Word; let no sin rule over me.”

How can we do this? By staying in contact with the Lord, morning,noon and night (continuously); Father God is always with us and longs for our fellowship.

Psalm 139: 8-10 ” If I go up to the heavens, you are there; If I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.”

1 Peter 2:21 “To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example that you should follow in His footsteps.”

OUR PORTION

OUR PORTION

Psalm 16:5-6 ” Lord, you have assigned me my portion and my cup; you have made my lot secure. The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance.”

To each person has been given his/her portion; our cup is filled to overflowing with God’s gifts to us. They include our talents, which God expects us to use for His glory, with the help of the Holy Spirit, whom He gave to us for help and guidance.

1 Corinthians 7:7 “I wish that all men were as I (Paul) am. But each man has his own gifts from God; one has one gift, another has his.”

Let us be diligent about using our gifts for God’s glory, daily. Ask for divine appointments and for the Holy Spirit to direct our steps, daily.

THE POWER OF LIVING WATER

THE POWER OF LIVING WATER

Revelation 7:17-18 ” For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their Shepherd; He will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

The Scene: Inside the mill, work is being accomplished as the grinding wheel turns. The power to drive the wheel comes from the stream of water outside the mill. God gives us power through His Word, which He has called living water.

Jesus says in His word, “Ask in My name,as you pray.”

Psalm 65:9 ” You care for the land and water it; you enrich it abundantly. The streams of God are filled with water to provide the people with grain, for so you have ordained it”

The food for our spirit comes to us from God’s Holy Word and feeds us as we grow into maturity, if we will allow it to change us.

Psalm 29:3 ” The voice of the Lord is over the water; the Lord thunders over the mighty waters.”

HIS PROMISES

HIS PROMISES

Acts 2:39 “The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off– for all whom the Lord our God will call.”

The scene: 1) a bog: any natural soft waterlogged ground. 2) Seven stepping stones which represents God’s promises. Seven is the Bible number for revelation, perfection and fullness; for if we stay on the right path (narrow way) we can gain our objective, eternal life with God, and serve Him!

In life people may get bogged down, created by situations that cause anxiety and depression, loss of hope. But God, in His wisdom, left us His promises, which are new every morning, to help us through (not around) whatever is giving us grief. Some say there are over 7,000 promises in the Word of God!

James 1:22” Do not merely listen to the Word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.”

The Holy Spirit has been given to us through a promise for guidance.

John 16:13 ” But when he the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you in all truth. He will not speak on His own, he will tell you what is yet to come.”

Proverbs 6:20, 23 ” My Son keep your Father’s commands and do not forsake your mother’s teaching. For these commands are a lamp, this teaching is a light, and the corrections are the way to life.”

YE ARE SALT

YE ARE SALT

Colossians 4:6 ” Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.”

The Scene: Salt-Himalayan salt (of a color other than white)

Salt is a preservative. If God’s people were withdrawn from the world, order would not be preserved. Preservative represents the good influence of His people.

Salt is necessary for our bodies to function properly; the brain will not work without salt. The human brain cells need electrolytes. Nerve cells are the electrical system of the brain and won’t work without salt. Salt ions are positively charged and cause nerve cells to open (send signals) to the body and throughout the brain.

Salt is a natural element created by God.

Salt controls blood pressure and blood volume. It is an anti-inflammatory when inhaled and regulates water content inside the cells of the body, where it cleanses toxic waste and manages cell metabolism.

Just like the human race, salt comes in many shades and is found all over the world. God’s Word says His people are as salt, but comes with a warning:

Matthew 5:13 ” You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.”

So God’s people are told to not let worldliness creep into their lives lest they become corrupted. So it is important that true believers of the Word pay attention to all we take in via the media, thoughts from either God’s Spirit or the enemy of our souls, and the people with which we interact.

Just as natural salt, we, God’s people, can contribute to the good health of the world through our actions and words. We are as salt.

TRUST IN ME, FEAR NOT

TRUST IN ME, FEAR NOT

Romans 15:4 ” For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope.”

The Scene:1)Person in the tunnel: represents the born again, true believers in this dark world.

2) Dark tunnel: represents sin in the world.

3) Light: at the end of the tunnel: God’s Light.

To much of this world these are the darkest days ever. But the Lord tells us, “Fear not!” Be filled with His hope. He is coming back for His people, as He said He would, and that day is not far off.

We are to stand and be courageous, be steadfast in our faith, trusting in His Word, which is always true. He is faithful.

1 Peter 5:10-11 “And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.To him be the power for ever and ever . Amen.”

Think of all the positive, helpful answers, we have received, from to our prayers. Count them, list them, remember them. Give thanks. Think of the letter “T” as in trust and true, for He is. The letter “T” looks like Greek letter Tau and the Greek cross…For our God is true to his Word and we must trust Him, always!

BE NOT DECEIVED

BE NOT DECEIVED

2 John:7 ” Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.”

Acts Chapter 22:12-13 Tells of an Ananias who was a devout observer of the Law, a pious man (the name means “Yahweh has been gracious”). Another man with the same name, Ananias, in Acts 5 was a deceiver: Read vv.1-2.

So it is with our lives; everything is not necessarily as it appears to our human eyes. We are called to be careful of what we observe. Believers in Jesus the Christ (Messiah) and in His true Word have been given the Holy Spirit, living inside us, to guide us and to give right understanding, to not be deceived by the evil one. If we listen to the Holy Spirit, deception cannot enter into our minds.

At first glance, the picture may look like a flag with a star burst in the center, or maybe, a flag with a gaping hole in it. Or it might be a broken window or something else imagined.

Galatians 6:7-8 “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please his Spirit, from the Spirit, will reap eternal life.”

PRAYER WARRIORS (GOD’S AMMO)

PRAYER WARRIORS (GOD’S PEOPLE), GOD’S AMMO

2 Thessalonians 3:1-2 ” Finally, brothers, pray for us that the message of the Lord may spread rapidly and be honored, just as it was with you. And pray that we might be delivered from wicked and evil men, for not everyone has faith.”

God uses His people in the army of the Lord.

The Scene

1) Cartridges: representing God’s people (the elect), standing erect in the open box, ready for use, by God.

2) Bullets: The bullets have been refined by fire into hardened steel.

3) Box: represents God’s protection which also keeps the bullets together (not scattered about), being as one body, (the Church).

4) Five Bullets: representing the 5 fold ministry. Ephesians 4:11 ” It was he (Jesus) who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers.”

Psalm 4:3 ” Know that the Lord has set apart the godly for himself.The Lord will hear when I call to him.”

SIGNALS FROM THE MASTER

Proverbs 4:11 ” I guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths.”

The scene: 1) House: represents the believers’ bodies. 2) Antenna: represents their minds and hearts (receivers). 3) Roof– our covering from God. 4) Rain gutters– to catch God’s Living Water (His Word).

The bodies of true believers of Jesus Christ house the Holy Spirit. He dwells within us. Our spiritual antenna, like the one on this house, must always be ready to receive and be available to receive the messages and guidance (signals) from our Lord.

Psalm 25:9 ” He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way.”

It is through our spiritual antenna that the Holy Spirit gives us guidance and wisdom from above.

Psalm 46:10 ” Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will exalted in the earth.”

Proverbs 1:5 ” Let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance.”
