TOS019: The Shield of Faith

Published: June 7, 2018, 8 a.m.

The Shield of Faith is part 5 of 7 of the Armor of God series. Ephesians 6:16 says, “At all times carry faith as a shield; for with it you will be able to put out all the burning arrows shot by the evil one.”  A shield is something we must pick up and hold up in front of us or it does no good!  While a physical shield protects us physically, faith can protect our spiritual lives even in the middle of physical trials.  Satan is always hurling his fiery darts of fear, doubt and worry in our direction, but the only time they can hit us is when we let our shield of faith down.  When we allow doubt to creep in, as Peter did when distracted by the waves, we will start to sink.  For these highlights and more, listen to Truth of the Spirit with Patti Brunner recorded with Lissa Applewhite at the Patriarch House.
