Day Eight - Believe
Eph 6:16 “In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.”
Shields are traditionally used to protect someone who is being attacked. The ‘shield of faith’ in our prophetic armour is the revelation of Jesus as your protector against all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
God spoke to Abraham, the father of faith, and said, ‘Do not be afraid, I am your shield, your very great reward. (Genesis 15:1)
Our whole lives are an opportunity to trust Jesus. Sometimes flaming arrows fly. Maybe the arrow looks like a negative health report or a financial crisis, remember: He is your shield. Faith is holding on to the truth and believing for another day.
Hold up your shield of faith right now, take a deep breath and remember that He will never leave nor forsake you.
Father, I believe that my shield of faith is firmly inlaid with your power to protect me. There is no weapon formed against me that will prosper.
