Is Your Shield Up?

---------- Four Affirmations of Faith ---------
 
 

Faith Believes for Something Before Seeing Something

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.

Hebrews 11:1

 

Faith is Obeying God When I Don’t Understand God

“By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that is in keeping with faith.”

Hebrews 11:7

 

Faith is Persisting When I Don’t See It

“By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the king’s anger; he persevered because he saw him who is invisible.”

Hebrews 11:27

 

Faith is Thanking God Before I Receive It

“By faith the walls of Jericho fell, after the army had marched around them for seven days.”

Hebrews 11:30

 

The Shield of Faith is used to quench all the fiery darts of the enemy.

His fiery darts often come to us as thoughts of unbelief.

As we have learned, we can entertain the thoughts of the enemy or the thoughts of God.

What we meditate on will determine our harvest.

I want to meditate on the good things of God.

I want my life transformed by anchoring my thoughts in His Word.

It is so easy to succumb to the barrage of evil thoughts from the enemy.

God gives us the shield of faith as a protection against those thoughts launched at us.

Is your shield up?
