Our Shield Of Faith

Summary:

In these last days when the Satan is trying to wear out the saints, we must put on the full armor of God to be able to stand. The shied of faith is a piece of this armor which enables us to extinguish all the fiery darts of the wicked one and manifest Christ victory in this earth. 

Show Notes:

• The assault that is coming against us, hits us in our strength, in our focus and in many different ways. The piece of armor that we haven’t talked about is the shield of faith.
• In times of spiritual warfare when we don’t feel we have what we need, the Lord says to take up the shield of faith which is able to quench all the fiery darts of the enemy.
• As we each take up the shield of faith, we become a protection and covering for the rest of the family.
• When we move in spiritual warfare it must be motivated by God’s love.
• The battle has already been won by Christ, and we are commissioned to execute that victory here on this earth. 

Quotes:

• I think of all the times that we feel like we don't have enough strength, or we don't have enough might, or we don't have enough faith, but then the Lord says to just draw on Him. He'll give us what we need.
• One of the main objectives, if you want to call it that, of the satanic realm is to wear out the saints of the Most High.
• One of the pieces of armor that we haven't talked about is the shield of faith. The stronger our belief, the more effective that shield is.
• In all these pieces of armor, I feel like we need to keep uppermost in our mind that these are expressions of Christ in the flesh.
• All the manifestation of the pieces of armor that we're talking about, there has to be, there must be the underlying spirit of God's love, the Father's love coming through that; even in judgment.
• How can I love you if I did not prepare for the battle by putting on His attributes and putting them to work.
• The battle has already been won. We have been given the commission. And the privilege of manifesting it to the earth.
