God’s Word Is Your Shield!

‘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.
