Faith produces. We can put a demand on our faith to create a shield—a force field, if you will—against the wicked one’s attacks. Put another way, faith is a substance that creates a shield against enemy attack. . . . Our faith is based in the hope of God’s protection and deliverance.
This fervent faith—faith based purely on God and His Word—is a shield that is able to extinguish all the fiery darts of the evil one. . . . Faith is what activates or energizes the rest of our armor. If we don’t believe our armor is effective, it won’t be. If we don’t put on our armor by faith, we’ll run into war ill-prepared to absorb the enemy hits.
When you are in the midst of a battle, find scriptures that relate to your specific situation and let them produce the faith that builds your strength to hold up your shield.
