“For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ…” 2 Corinthians 10:3-5
“So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, for we walk by faith, not by sight.
“Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised.
But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls. Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” Hebrews 10:35-36, 39-11:1
“And without faith it is impossible to please Him (God), for whoever would draw near to God must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who seek Him.” Hebrews 11:6

TAKING UP THE SHIELD OF FAITH: 3. FULFILL YOUR MINISTRY! “As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry…the time of my departure has come. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” 2 Timothy 4:5-7
