Ephesians 6:16—Above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
This Shield Of Faith Can Stop All Of The Fiery Darts Of Satan—Not Some Of Them, But All Of Them!
There were two kinds of shields a Roman soldier carried. One was a giant Frisbee that he had on his arm when he was fighting hand to hand combat with a sword. The other kind of shield was about four feet high and two feet wide. A Roman soldier who was ambushed suddenly could survive by getting completely behind this shield.
Have you ever had a week from hell? You lose your job and on the way home you have a wreck. When you get to the hospital, you find out your insurance lapsed three days ago. You call suicide prevention and they put you on hold. It just goes downhill and doesn’t stop. “When it rains, it pours” the old saying goes. That’s the time to get behind the shield of faith. When you don’t have just one problem, but rather lots of problems, get behind this powerful, supernatural shield God has given you. Behind the shield of faith you are protected because you’re safe in the arms of God.
God said to Abraham, “I am your shield and your exceeding great reward” Genesis 15:1. David said, “The Lord is my strength and my shield” Psalm 28:7. When I am in the arms of God and behind the shield of faith, hell can’t touch me. I’m unreachable. I’m unshakeable. I’m unmovable. I’m safe behind the shield of faith that God gives me for every adversity of life.
