Taking the Shield of Faith
“… above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one." - Eph. 6:16
Fiery darts come from all directions, sometimes with great speed, but they come to nothing when they meet our shields of faith. The Lord anoints our shields individually and then places ours next to others because we can do greater works in unity. Our unity is powerful in Christ.
On the battlefield, enemies shot arrows at the Roman soldiers from all angles. The front row held their shields, measuring four feet by two feet, side by side for protection, while the rows behind held their shields overhead to form a roof of protection. Similarly, we stand side by side through our prayers, in one accord, and by faith.
The Holy Spirit brings unity among members so the Body can move effectively to enforce the victory of Christ. We position our shield of faith, both individually and corporately, to quench all the fiery darts of the enemy. Faith without works is dead, but faith with works is alive, powerful, and moves mountains. We are protected, provided for, positioned, and powerful in Christ, from glory to glory!
