In Priscilla Shirer’s The Armour of God Bible Study, the Helmet of Salvation has been my favorite section so far.
My favorite quote from this section (pg 127) is:
Faith is acting like it is so, even when it is not so, so that it might be so, simply because God said so.”
I have a hard time with faith. I question whether I hear God correctly. It’s hard when we live in a world that does the opposite of what I may be called to do. I realized that I look to others to affirm what I do instead of looking to God. If God calls me to do something, I do not need man’s approval or understanding. If what I am called to do is grounded in God’s truth, then I should be ok to stand in faith.
I liked what Priscilla said in the intro video – something about if God calls us to do something and we think it sounds odd, it’s probably God. After all, “God’s ways are not man’s ways”.
After this study on Faith, I felt like I had permission to live out in faith specific things God has called me to do. Oh, I how I love this section!
