Ephesians 6:16 - Christian Armor; The Shield of Faith.

Ephesians 6:16 (NKJV) above all, taking the 
shield of faith with which you will be able to 
quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 

COMMENTARY PEARL

   The devil attacks us in a variety of 
ways, but we can always have the victory if we 
will lift up the shield of faith against him at 
the onset of his attack. Recently, early in the 
morning, he attacked my mind with critical thoughts 
about several people I know, and this morning it 
was fear and worry. Both times, the Holy Spirit 
made me aware of what was happening and I 
released my faith in God by remembering the 
faithfulness of God and trusting Him to take care of 
everything that was attempting to annoy me. I also 
replaced the wrong thoughts with good ones, because 
that is one way that we overcome evil with good 
(see Romans 12:21). 
   When the devil is attacking, we dare not 
be passive and do nothing. We must come against 
him. We submit ourselves to God and His Word, and 
we resist the devil and he flees (see James 
4:7). No matter what lie the devil is whispering 
to your mind, don't believe him, but instead 
wield (use) the sword of the Spirit that is the 
Word of God. 
   Replace thoughts of criticism with 
thoughts of humility and love. Replace fear and worry 
with trust and confidence. Faith is a shield and 
it will protect us in every battle if we will 
"lift" it up by simply declaring our trust in God. 
   Father, always reveal to me when the 
devil is attacking me and remind me of relevant 
Scriptures to replace the evil thoughts he is 
suggesting. Help me lift up my shield of faith at all 
times. Thank You! [My Time with God by Joyce 
Meyer]
