EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:
I have exciting news! God has the best news for you this day. He gave a tremendous word to us from His scriptures.
“Take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.” (Ephesians 6:16)
Did you ever get pumulted with words where you’ve just sat there staring at the person who just shot an arrow through your heart? You examined yourself in a quick instant saying to yourself, “Wow, that is just not true” and you stand there questioning why they said it.
God has given you a shield of faith. Hold on to it in these times. As we soak ourselves in His Word and by faith accept what we know to be the truth about ourselves, do not fall into any lies the enemy throws at you! They are dirt!
God’s Word will deflect flaming arrows shot at you over jealousy, anger, resentment, doubt, and so on…the strength you hold in your shield of faith will get you through any harsh or obnoxious words the enemy can spew at you.
Before you leave your safe place today, make certain you take up your shield of faith and know God’s truths about who you are and whose you are! With your shield in place, you are good to go anywhere God leads you today!
