The Shield of Faith

Part 2

The Bible says we have an enemy, the devil, but Jesus gives us the victory over him.

The Bible says that the devil has strategies, but we are not ignorant of his evil schemes. (Ephesians 6:10-11, 2 Corinthians 2:10-11). 

Jesus equips us with His name, the power of His blood, His Spirit, and His armor. Jesus equips us with these things when we are baptized in the name of Jesus, and filled with His Spirit. (Acts 2:38, Ephesians 10-20). 

Another part of our armor is the shield of faith. Jesus gives us armor to shield us from satan’s attacks – the fiery darts of the wicked.

"Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked." - Ephesians 6:16 KJV

We build up the shield of our faith by praying in the Holy Ghost. (Praying in tongues).

"But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost," - Jude 1:20 KJV

Praying in the Holy Ghost is also called praying in the Spirit. (Praying in tongues).

"Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;" - Ephesians 6:18 KJV
