Ephesians 6:11-17
11. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
we have faith in God not because of what we can do or who we are, but because of who He is.
nothing can get past God unless He wants it to.
Notice verse 16 doesn't say you might be to quench some of the darts it says with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts
i just received a deeper appreciation of our Shield of faith as i am struggling with a particular sin today and getting bombarded by so many temptations.
If the enemy is being bold let us be even bolder for no one is Greater than our God.
Psalm 18:2
The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge;
My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
Psalm 28:7
The Lord is my strength and my shield;
My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped;
Therefore my heart exults,
And with my song I shall thank Him.
