Paul’s Championship Faith
Our Mission Statement: Take a group of people and disciple them intensely in the Word of God. Teach them an UNCOMMON FAITH to help them stand victoriously in life.
- Drill them. That is the only way to overcome the world.
1 John 5:4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world: and this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith.
The development of our faith into strong overcoming faith is the faith of champions.
Faith Confessions:
- My faith is alive in 2025
- My faith is activated
- My faith is working
- My faith is producing results
- My capacity for greater faith is enlarging
- My faith is growing exceedingly
We are undefeatable, unstoppable, unbreakable and invincible. – Ps. George
Paul the Apostle was a faith champion!
Despite the challenges of imprisonment Paul was able to overcome a dark, depressing and demoralizing environment and turn it into an inspiration producing 4 very important books in the New Testament: Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians and Philemon.
How was he able to do that? By using his faith to win the battle of the mind!
When you understand the perspective of the environment Paul was in and you read the books he wrote while in that prison you realize that Paul was using his words to position his mind in a place of victory. His spoken words were captured for the Ephesian church and our benefit teaching us to speak words of faith and not fear.
Ephesians provides revelation on how Paul was able to be “strong IN the Lord and in the power of His might” – Eph 6:10.
Ephesians 3:1 For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ for you Gentiles…
Ephesians 4:1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord…
Ephesians 6:20 for which I am an ambassador in chains…
In each of the examples in the book of Ephesians above, Paul never called himself a prisoner of Rome, but of the Lord, an ambassador of heaven. Paul was weighing his words through the filter of faith. When he did that while being led by the Spirit, his words became eternal, and God ordained.
When we do the same thing, our words become eternal, and our minds become renewed and fixed on things above. This is how we stay “in-Christ” which Paul referenced so often in Ephesians.
Ephesians 4:23-24 “and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.”
See the attached March Men’s Breakfast teaching and video for deeper insights into Paul’s championship faith for us to imitate.
