Me:\u00a0 Nice outfit Prodigal!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Prodigal:\u00a0 I have my armor on.\u00a0 I was reading the bible and talks about putting your armor on.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0 That is very true but he also talks about it being spiritual armor.\u00a0 I don’t know if you need real armor like that…..<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Beth Moore in her book Believing God explains it better than me.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ephesians 6:16\u00a0 Above all, taking the shield of faith wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.\u00a0 Why “above all” do we need to learn to use, our shield of faith?\u00a0 Because the shield is the armor’s armor.\u00a0 The ancient warrior hoped the fiery dart never reached the helmet or the breastplate.\u00a0 A direct hit on any of the defensive covers could still stun and bruise even if it didn’t wound.\u00a0\u00a0 The warrior’s goal was to extinguish any oncoming dart with his shield in order to diffuse all potential damage.\u00a0 When the warrior’s shield was down, the other pieces of armor were vastly more vulnerable.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The same is true in our warfare. Our toughest battles will invariable concern matters of faith–times when we’re tempted to think God’s Word and His ways won’t work for us, that He has abandoned us, let us down, or failed to come through for us.\u00a0 If Satan can get us to drop our shield of faith, he knows we can’t remain standing for very long.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let us have faith at this time!\u00a0 God will prevail and not the enemy!!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Romans 1:17<\/p>\n

For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.”<\/p>\n
