 What is the shield of faith and how do you use it? In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. The fiery arrows of the enemy represent the lies that the enemy tells you. Deception, like fire, spreads if not addressed. The shield of faith is simply your belief in what God has said. Your belief in the truth is what extinguishes the lies. When the enemy tells you that God's abandoned you, believe the words I will never leave you or forsake you. When the enemy accuses you of your past, believe the truth. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us. If the enemy tells you God doesn't love you, hold fast to the truth. I love you with an everlasting love. When the enemy lies, raise your belief in God's word. The lies may bombard you, but I promise you, the shield will hold. What promises of God help you to overcome the lies of the enemy? Tell me in the comments section.
