Raising Spiritual Spartans

When you pray every day, you’re polishing and protecting and valuing the shield of faith. When you read this book, when you teach it to your children, when you correct them and tell them what the scripture says, when you tell them Bible stories, when you huddle them together and lay your hands on them, and every once in a while you take advantage of that moment and you say to that son, “Son Jesus means everything to me. have ever told you how he saved me.

If you get anything from God, you you give God faith and he in return to your faith saves you. And every other promise in the scripture is un unattainable without faith.

The scripture lets us know the importance of having the shield of faith as it is underlined above all. You got all these weapons to fight and win with.

If you begin to let fear take over instead of faith, if you drop your faith, then the other things not mix with faith are not productive.

The importance of having the shield. Everything we do in living for God is mixed with faith. You can’t please God without faith. The Bible says in Hebrews, without faith, it is impossible to please God. That’s a that’s a remarkable verse. Faith is our confidence about all that God said he would do.
