Armor of God
Above all, have the shield of faith      


Gen 15:1
15:1 After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.

Ps 56:10-11
10 In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise his word.
11 In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.

Prov 18:10
10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.

1 Peter 5:8-9
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

1 John 5:4-5
4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

 

What is faith? God's Word answers, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (Hebrews 11: 1). Faith is the rock-solid conviction that what God has promised He will perform.

Faith is assurance. It is positiveness. It is doubtless. It is solid, knowing conviction.

God gives us faith.

Faith means absolute, unquestioning belief. It means knowing, not just thinking maybe.

All we can do is tell God, "We have no strength or power of our own. We can do nothing of ourselves. All we can do is hold up these sad, pleading letters to you; to pray over them, to ask in faith for your divine intervention. Then, we must get up, go our way, doing our work for this day, and leave the result with you!"

So it is with our own daily lives. We need to let go of the faith we have-not "worry it," and keep looking on the negative side of things. We need to learn to leave the result with God!

When we do this, in faith, we have a big, strong, thick shield in place against Satan's evil influences.
