SHIELD OF FAITH

"Above all, lift up the [protective] shield of faith with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Ephesians 6:16 AMP 

Would you like to extinguish every flaming arrows the devil ever tries to shoot in your direction? Does this proposal sound too good to be true? Well, Ephesians 6:16 assures you that if you have your shield of faith lifted high in front of you, you will be supernaturally empowered to defend yourself against the fiery arrows of the enemy. But more than that, you will be able to literally extinguish every single flaming arrow the devil will ever try to send your way. 

The shield of faith is very important. When a believer lifts his shield high and holds it out in front of him where it belongs, that shield divinely energizes the believer to stand bravely against every assault of the devil. It becomes supernaturally empowered to act as an impenetrable wall of defense against the enemy’s tactics. In other words, Faith is a shield to the believer. This doesn’t mean the devil won’t try to stop you, but when the shield of faith is held out in front of you as it ought to be, you become divinely fortified “…to quench all the flaming arrows (fiery darts) of the wicked.” Refuse to be a victim of any kind of arrow that flies by day or by night.
