The Shield of Faith, one of the many pieces of Armor, is to guard us from a oncoming attack. When Satan sees those that are living unrighteous, he isn't worried about them. He's worried about you! That's right, you; your trying to do better, going to church, reading God's word, sharing it with your children and he's hunting. He's telling you those lies again. Your not good enough, you will never be good enough, your not accepted, you will never be accepted, you can't do this, you will never do this and you aren't strong enough. These are daggers that he is throwing straight to your heart and your mind. Put on your Armor for God and STOP Him!! Your Shield of Faith will block these daggers from getting to your heart.
Your Helmet of Salvation will stop these mind games that he plays with his victims. Put it on so he can't try to convince you that you aren't enough. Sister, you are Enough! Don't let him do it to you anymore. God equipped us with everything that we need, we just have to put it on.
Your Breastplate of Righteousness is to guard your heart from those daggers. Because let's admit the heart takes heavy blows but after so many it wears out. It leaves holes in our hearts that seem hard to heal. With this piece of Armor he can't reach your heart.
Your Belt of Truth, well it holds everything together. Just like God's word helps hold us together. It prevents Satan from twisting things and making us believe them.
Your Feet fitted with the Gospel of Peace is your boots to spread the word of God. Tell everyone what he has done for you, your family and what he has brought you out of. It's okay if you can't yet, he understands. He will give you strength to shout it from the rooftops soon enough.
Your Sword of the Spirit is to represent your bible or the Word of God. No warrior would go to battle without their weapon. God's word is alive, loud and a mighty weapon when coming against any weakness you have and especially when Satan attacks. So today Sister, I say put on your Armor of God and go to Battle. He can't defeat you, you have God on your side.
