‘He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take
refuge; HiGs Truth shall be your SHIELD and buckler’ (Psalm 91:4).
God’s Word is our sure foundation! ‘Shield’ is nothing but His Truth –Word of
Faith! Paul said in Ephesians 6: 16, ‘ABOVE
ALL, taking the Shield of Faith with which you will be able to
quench ALL the fiery darts of the wicked one.’ In Romans 10: 8 Paul said, ‘but
what does it say? ‘The Word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart’ (that
is the Word of Faith which we preach).’
Use the Word as your shield because the enemy attack your
thoughts. Shield yourself with the Word
of Faith. It is your shield. We are in the New Testament. We are not under the Law of Moses. We are New Creations in Christ Jesus. In Christ we dwell. In Christ we live and move and have our
being. We no longer seek protection
outside the Word of God. We are asked to
use the Truth as our shield.
If God’s Word is the Truth which is our shield then how do we
use this shield? God framed the worlds
by His Words. God said, ‘let there be
light! And there was light’. He said and
it came to being. Jesus Christ rebuked
the wind and silenced the storm by saying : ‘Peace be still’ and it was
still. When we speak the Word against
the devil, God’s Word become a shield in our hand and quench the fiery darts of
the enemy.
Never ignore God’s Word! Never under estimate the power of
God’s Word. It is a Weapon in our mouth
and a hiding place for us. Prov 18:10
says, ‘The Name of the Lord is a strong tower, the righteous run to it and are
safe.’ Not merely saying I am
protected but speak the Word! ‘I am In
Christ’, ‘I am safe’ ‘He is my Shield’.
Let not the Word of God depart from your mouth! Confess it consistently! Announce it regularly! Declare against the
enemy and attack him! Shield yourself by
speaking His Word!
God’s Word is our invisible shield but a threatening weapon to
the devil! He flees when you declare the
Word by faith!
Pray with me:
Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for Your Word in our heart
and in our mouth! Your Word is our Life
and our shield. As we declare Your Word
by faith we are shielded! Thank Your for
this great weapon! We are divinely
protected on every side. In Jesus’
Mighty Name. Amen.
