Our faith protects us, deflecting all the harm our spiritual enemy wants to inflict on us. 

Sometimes we have to actively hold and position a shield. We don’t simply move into position and hope for the best. We must actively engage our faith at all times — especially in a battle. Whether it’s a stressful situation, an ongoing health issue, or a broken relationship, life’s hard-hitting trials often cause us to grow weary.   

Without an active faith to strengthen us and give us hope, we are vulnerable to massively destructive attacks. These “flaming arrows” cause us even greater suffering: discouragement, despair, and doubts that threaten to steal and kill our peace, joy, faith, and our Kingdom potential. 

Take up our faith! Hold on to it! Stand trusting and proclaiming His promises!
