In Between the Lines are the Shield of Faith

Once again, as Jesus did when He was on earth, we are to do what we see the Father doing {Jesus gave them this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.  (John 5:19)}speak what the Father shows us {I am telling you what I have seen in the Father’s presence, and you are doing what you have heard from your father (John 8:38)}and do what the Father wants us to do {By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me. (John 5:30)}

-Charles H. Kraft, I Give You Authority: Practicing the Authority that Jesus Gave Us, (Kraft, 119)

From this excerpt from the book I Give You Authority: Practicing the Authority that Jesus Gave Us, Charles H. Kraft we can see we have a responsibility towards prayer.  We can't DO if we can't see or hear from the God our Father who makes his children able.  We can't use our shield of faith without accepting our responsibilities as followers of Christ.  To use our shield of faith from Ephesians 6: to protect ourselves, our families, and our ministries, and then to add on communicate the Gospel through word, healing, deliverance, or any other way, we need to start responding through the Word.  In between the lines are the acts of using the Shield of Faith.
