THE WEAPONS OF OUR WARFARE PART 2[Tues. 24th August ‘09]
INTRODUCTION:
In our last study we consider one of the weapons of our warfare – prayer. In the last study we said because 2 Cor. 10:3-4 shows us that the way we are fighting is spiritual and not physical, we can only use spiritual weapon to fight it.Prayer as we studied cannot be stopped, seen, held or destroyed. Today we will consider the second weapon of our warfare which is faith. 

1.      THE NATURE OF FAITH
Faith can be described as a constant outlook of truth towards God, whereby human beings abandon all reliance on their own effort the full confidence in Him, His Word and His promises. Confidence in and commitment to God and Jesus Christ is what faith is all about. As the bible tells us, even though the objects of faith are unseen, this attitude (trust, confidence etc) to God and Christ must remain. True faith is seen in obedient action, love and continuing good works.
Heb. 11:1, Jn. 14:1, Psalm 25:1-2, 1 Pet. 1:21, 2 Sam. 22:31, Ps. 18: 2-6, 27: 13-14.

THE WEAPON OF FAITH
Two of the greatest weapons of our enemy are doubt and unbelief. The devil uses these two weapons very well. Fortunately, faith is the weapon that will neutralise the two. Faith is what will please and as children of God we want to please Him. Faith is what we should live by because it deals with doubt and unbelief.
Heb. 11:6, Rom 4:19-21, Heb. 10: 38-39, Rom 10:17, 14: 22-23, Eph 6:16, Matt 17:20.


3.     
FAITH AND BLESSINGS OF GOD
Confidence in the ability and willingness of God to act in supernatural power to advance His kingdom and commitment expressed by us in prayer and action brings God’s blessing to us. God’s power is released through faith, especially when He sees that we are praying in faith. At all times it is also important that we accompany our faith with patience.
Matt 17:20, 21: 21-22, 9: 22-23, Heb. 11: 11-12, 32-34, Josh. 14: 6-14, 2 Chron. 32: 7-8, Luke 17: 6, Heb. 10:36, Titus 2: 2
