We’re going to continue on the book of Ephesians.
*Last time* we were on *Ephesians 6:15* so let’s pick up from there.
*I.
**EPH 6:15*
*A.
**Some have taking this V to mean* that we are to *be ready to share the gospel* when we can.
*1.
*And we need to *be ready* to *share* the *Gospel*, and *Peach the Word* when we can, but that is *not what this V is talking about*.
*2.
**Others have* even *said* that it *refers to* *being ready to share the message of salvation*.
*a.
*We *should* *share* the *message* of *salvation*, and to *share Jesus*, but that’s *not what this V is talking about*.
*B.
**In Ephesians chapter 6* *Paul is talking about a spiritual battle* that *we are going through*.
*1.
**He tells us to* “*Put on the whole armour of God*,” *WHY*?
*a.
*So that *we may be able to stand against the wiles (and attacks) of the devil*.
*2.
**What is going to help us* *stand against* the *attacks of the enemy*?
*3.
**Paul tells us* that we are to *put on our shoes* *and* *have them tied*, *meaning* that *we have to have* *on* *the GOSPEL OF PEACE*.
*a.
**The phrase* “*Preparation of the Gospel of Peace*,” literally *means* “*Readiness that comes from the Good News of PEACE*.”
*b.
*But the word “*PEACE*” *means* “*The tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ*.”
*i. **We stand in the confidence of God’s love for us*, *His union with us*, *and* *His commitment to fight for us*.
*ii. **Knowing that God loves us* *and there is nothing that can separate us from the love of God*.
*iii.
**Our names are written in the Lamb’s book of Life, and no devil can steal that from us*.
*iv. **That gives us a strength in God to stand against the wiles of the Devil*.
*II.
**EPH 6:16*
*A.
**Notice* the *1st* *thing* that *Paul says* in this V “*Above all*.”
*After* we *have on* the *other parts* *of* the *Armor*, The *most important*, part of our armor is the *SHIELD of FAITH*.
*1. **That is* *if* you were to *stop right there*.
In the *next V or 2* *Paul goes on* to list *2 or 3 different parts* of our armor.
(*Maybe* *just as important* as the Shield of Faith)
*2. *The *SHIELD* that is mentioned here is the *larger* *of the 2 shields the Roman soldier used*.
*a.
**This* was a *shield* that *was used in war*.
*i.
*The *Romans* *also* *had* a *smaller shield* that was *used in* *hand to hand combat*, *1 against 1**.
*
*B.
**But* the *shield* that is *used here* in (*EPH 6:16*) is a *large shield* that was *used in war*, *when* there were *many against you*.
*1. **This shield* was *about* *2½’ wide* and about *4’ tall*.
It was *enough* to *cover* the *entire body*.
*a.
*It was *light enough* to *carry with you* and *you could move it* to *protect* you *depending* on which *angle* the *enemy was coming*.
*C.
**When Paul says* that *shield of faith*, is *able to quench* the *fiery darts*, the word “*QUENCH*” means “*EXTINGUISH*.”
*1. *The *SHIELD OF FAITH* *will* *PUT OUT* the *enemies* *FIERY DARTS*.
*2. *Now when we here “*FIERY DARTS*” we *think of* *darts* that we would *throw* *at a dart board*, but the *meaning is much more than that*.
*a.
*According to the *Greek* it can mean “*a dart, a javelin, an arrow, or a missile*.”
*b.
*In the *ancient world*, *armies* would *make large balls*, *about* the *size of a small basketball* *or* a *bowling ball*, place the on a *CATAPULT*, *set* the *ball on fire* *and* *shoot them* into a city.
*i.
*These *FLAMING MISSILES* would *do much damage* to a city.
*ii.
*The *SHIELD of FAITH* will *handle* *Satan’s largest weapons*.
*iii.
**That’s why* the *Shield of Faith* is *so important*.
*III.
**EPH 6:17*
*A.
**1st* of all *Paul tells us* to “*Take the Helmet of Salvation*.”
*1. **This can not refer* to *Salvation* *in the sense* of *getting saved*.
*a.
**Paul’s writing to Christians*, those that are *already saved*, *and* it’s *only Christians* that *can* *Put on* this *Armor*.
*2. *Turn with me to *1THES 5:8*
*a.
*The *HELMET* *covers* the *HEAD* *which is the* *SOUL*.
*i.
**Notice* that *Paul says* here that the *BREASTPLATE* *which covers the CHEST* *is FAITH*, *but* *HOPE* *is the HELMET*.
*ii.
**FAITH is of your SPIRIT*, and *HOPE is of your MIND*.
*b.
**Really* your *MIND* *and* your *SPIRIT* *work together*.
*3. *Turn with me to *HEB 11:1*
*a.
**You hope with your mind*, *but* *when you put faith with it* *from your spirit* *it gives* that *HOPE* *substance*.
*i.
**Faith from your spirit* *will take what’s in your mind* *and* *give it substance*.
*ii.
**Faith* *gives* *Hope Substance*.
*b.
**It’s important* that you *NEVER GIVE UP HOPE*.
*i.
*The *Devil will* try to *get you* to *LOSE HOPE*.
*ii.
*He will try to *bring* in *DISCOURAGEMENT*.
*Sickness*, *Debt*, *Unsaved loved ones*, the different *Trials*, *Tribulations*, and *Problems* that you face.
*iii.
**If we* *LOSE HOPE* *we* *STOP* our *FAITH from working*.
*B.
*The *BIBLE* *says* in (*TITUS 2:13*) that *Jesus is our BLESSED HOPE*.
*1. **We need to keep our eyes on Jesus*.
*a.
*(*Hebrews 12:2*) Says, “*Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith*.”
KJV
*2. *We need to *keep our eyes on Jesus* *and* *on His Word* and *NOT on what the Devil is doing*.
*a.
**If you keep your eyes on Jesus* *and* *on* *His Word* *you will not lose hope*.
