The Shield of Faith

Scripture

In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. - Ephesians 6:16 (NIV)

Faith is something that God has given us, but we have to release it in our lives. So, how do you release your faith? Through praying, through saying, and through doing. When we pray, we are communicating with God, letting Him know that our faith and trust are in Him to come through for us.

What we say is also very important because our words are extremely powerful. In fact, the Bible says, The tongue has the power of life and death... (Proverbs 18:21 NIV). When we line up what we say with the Word of God and declare His promises over our lives, we are speaking faith-filled words that improve our situation.

And finally, what we do makes all the difference. Sometimes our circumstances can feel pretty scary. But those are the times when it’s most important to step out in faith and do what God is asking us to do. Give your circumstances over to Jesus and be confident that He has it all under control.
