In this message from Ephesians 6:10–16, Pastor Jim continues the Armor of God series by focusing on the shield of faith. He explains that faith is not about the amount we can produce, but the object of our trust: the faithfulness of God revealed in Jesus. As the enemy sends fiery arrows of disobedience, doubt, despair, and distraction, believers are called to take up faith by fixing their eyes on Christ, remembering God's past faithfulness, and standing together as the family of God.
Faith is more than intellectual agreement. It's a trust that moves through our mind, heart and ultimately our actions. The "shield of faith" from Ephesians 6 represents God's own faithfulness. It's our protection against temptation, accusation, and doubt. Careers, finances, and institutions will shake, but only God's faithfulness holds firm. We take up this shield by preaching the gospel to ourselves daily, pursuing deeper knowledge of God, and living vulnerably in community, where collective faith strengthens us. Listen now and be inspired to move faith from your mind to your everyday life.
“Shield of Faith” — In this message from Ephesians 6:10–16, we examined how faith protects the child of God against the “fiery darts of the wicked.” Just as warfare in history often left destruction behind, Satan's goal is to destroy peace, joy, homes, marriages, and fellowship with Christ. But God has given His people a shield: faith. We looked at what biblical faith is, where it comes from, how it grows, and why without faith we cannot stand in the spiritual battle.
Ephesians 6:16 with Pastor Greg Denham
Pastor Mike Jurek shares a compelling message on the Shield of Faith, reminding us that faith is more than belief, it's something we put into action every day. As we engage with God's Word and live it out, our faith is built and strengthened, giving us the ability to stand strong when challenges come our way.Even when life hits hard, this message highlights that we are not powerless. Through God, we can quench every fiery dart before it takes root in our hearts. Fear, anxiety, and discouragement don't have the final say. As we stay close to Him and link together in unity as the body of Christ, we become stronger, more resilient, and ready to advance in everything God has called us to do.#GoodHopeChurch #Faith #ShieldOfFaith #ArmorOfGod #VictoryInJesus #StayStrong #FaithJourney #JesusChangesEverything #ChurchOnlineSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/armor-4-mjGiving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn
Pastor Corey Pond unpacks the powerful meaning behind the Shield of Faith in Ephesians 6 and challenges us to move beyond simply believing in God to actively living out that belief. Faith isn't just something we hold onto in theory, it's something we take up daily through obedience, trust, and action. As we grow in God's Word and apply it to our lives, our faith is strengthened and becomes a defense in the spiritual battles we all face.This message reminds us that we may not avoid every challenge, but through God's power, we can quench every fiery dart the enemy throws our way. Doubt, fear, anxiety, and discouragement don't have to take us out. When we walk closely with God and stand firm in faith, we protect our hearts and remain strong. And when we stand together as the body of Christ, united in faith, we don't just survive the battle, we advance.#GoodHopeChurch #Faith #ShieldOfFaith #ArmorOfGod #SpiritualBattle #JesusChangesEverything #FaithInAction #ChurchOnline #HopeInJesusSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/armor-4Giving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn
Pastor Mike Stevens dives into the significance of the Shield of Faith from Ephesians 6, showing how real faith goes beyond belief and becomes something we actively live out. It's not enough to hear God's Word, we are called to respond to it. As we consistently walk in obedience and trust, our faith grows stronger and equips us to stand firm in the middle of life's battles.This message brings encouragement that while we may face trials, we don't have to be defeated by them. Through God's strength, we are able to quench every fiery dart, whether it's fear, doubt, or discouragement. When we position ourselves in Him and stay rooted in faith, we remain protected and steady. And as we stand together in unity, the Church becomes stronger and continues to move forward with purpose.#GoodHopeChurch #Faith #ShieldOfFaith #ArmorOfGod #SpiritualGrowth #StandFirm #JesusChangesEverything #FaithOverFear #ChurchOnlineSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/armor-4-msGiving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn

Send us Fan MailSpiritual collapse usually does not look like a sudden break. It looks like getting comfortable, skipping the small things, and slowly taking off spiritual protection piece by piece until peace is gone and God feels far away. I walk through the seven stages of spiritual decline so you can spot the pattern early, name what is happening, and stop drifting before it becomes disconnection. Then I shift to the practical solution: putting on the whole Armor of God from Ephesians 6 as a daily checklist for spiritual strength. We talk about the belt of truth that shuts down self-deception, the breastplate of righteousness that protects your desires and identity, and the shoes of the gospel of peace that keep you stable in a chaotic world. We also cover the shield of faith against doubt and shame, the helmet of salvation to guard your thoughts, the sword of the Spirit through scripture and revelation, and why prayer is the power source that activates it all. Along the way, I connect these ideas to Latter-day Saint teachings on covenants, personal revelation, repentance, and thinking celestially. Finally, I lay out a counter pattern you can actually live: daily meaningful prayer, daily scripture study, intentional obedience, remembering your divine identity, protecting the Holy Ghost by removing spiritual noise, acting in faith even when you do not feel ready, and living outwardly through service and peacemaking. If you want stronger spiritual resilience, clearer guidance, and steadier peace, this is your roadmap.

When every earthly support is stripped away and you are faced with the "executioner's sword," where do you turn for protection? Is it possible to maintain unshakeable joy while trapped in solitary confinement, falsely accused, and surrounded by the darkest of circumstances? In those moments when the enemy hurls his most poisonous arrows of doubt and fear, how do we find a shield that truly holds?In this episode, Tracie and Abigail continue the season When War Comes”through the breathtaking life of missionary Darlene Deibler Rose. Focusing on the Shield of Faith, we explore Darlene's four-year journey as a POW in the jungles of New Guinea and the Japanese internment camps. Her testimony is a powerful demonstration of how faith acts as a practical, protective barrier against the onslaught of the devil—reminding us that when we take up this shield, God provides the "evidence of things not seen" to sustain us through the fire.If you know of someone who can be helped by listening to the Abundant Living Podcast, please share this episode with them.

P.565 How To Use The Shield Of Faith by Apostle Grace Lubega
P.565 How To Use The Shield Of Faith by Apostle Grace Lubega
It's on to part four of our series on the Armour of God. Today Joseph Hammonds as we sit down to have a conversation about the Shield Of Faith. We start off by getting a little bit of Joseph's back story, how he first came into contact with Mormonism then how he made the leap to accepting the Fullness of the Gospel. From there we break down the meaning of the term shield in Hebrew. From there our conversation shifts to what the Shield of Faith guards against, the fiery darts of the adversary. We break what those could be and how the adversary uses them to keep us from reaching our potential, and in this part of the conversation I relate and experience that I don't think I have ever shared before. We wrap this episode all up by asking the questions how we incorporate the Shield of Faith into our discipleship.

Ephesians 6:16
Todaywe're continuing in Ephesians chapter 6, moving on to verse 16. We're talkingabout our enemy, the devil, and our protection and defense against him. As Paulhas said, “Put on the whole armor of God, that you might be able to standagainst the wiles of the devil.” Paul is now describing the equipment thatGod has provided for every believer so that we can stand and withstand theattacks of the evil one. As we come to verse 16, we're looking at one of themost important pieces of the armor. Verse 16 says, “Above all, taking theshield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts ofthe wicked.” My friend, this is soimportant as we stand against all the wiles of the devil. AsPaul was describing this armor, the believers in Ephesus would no doubt havebeen very familiar with the Roman soldiers of their day. The shield hedescribes here is not just a small, round shield used in hand-to-hand combat.This is a large shield, sometimes described as being like a door—about fourfeet tall and two feet wide. A soldier could stand behind it and be almostcompletely covered. It was often made of wood and covered with thick leather,sometimes even soaked in water, so that when fiery arrows hit it, the firewould be extinguished. Paul says this is what faith does for the believer. Thereis another powerful picture here when we think about this shield. Romansoldiers would often lock their shields together, forming a wall that advancedas one. That reminds us that we are not fighting this battle alone. God has putus in the body of Christ. We stand together. We pray together. We encourage oneanother. The Lord strengthens His people as they move forward in unity. Nownotice this shield. Our protection is called the shield of faith. Faith is soimportant. As we look at the faith Paul is speaking about here, we realize thisis not just saving faith that Ephesians 2 tells us about. We are not saved byour works because we are saved by faith. That is saving faith. Paul is talkinghere about a faith that is living faith—a faith that daily helps us trust inGod, daily depend upon His promises, and daily remain confident in Hischaracter. TheBible tells us in Hebrews 11:6, “But without faith it is impossible toplease Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is arewarder of them that diligently seek Him.” Now this is so important. Wheredoes faith come from? Romans 10:17 says, “So then faith cometh by hearing,and hearing by the word of God.” Our faith in God—knowing God, believingwho God is, trusting Him, living an obedient life in the will of God—is basedon our understanding of who God Himself is. “The fear of the Lord is thebeginning of wisdom”. Wisdom is knowing God. The only way to know God isthrough His Word. Theway we know God is to know His Word and understand His Word. We read it. Wememorize it. Remember Psalm 119:11: “Thy word have I hid in mine heart, thatI might not sin against Thee.” Why? Because as you hide His Word in yourheart and meditate on it, you grow stronger. That is why Psalm 1:2-3 is soimportant: “But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in His law dothhe meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers ofwater, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall notwither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.” My friend, that is being inGod's Word. Ifwe want to have a shield of faith, it is connected to the Word of God. Thisfaith is living faith because it is not trusting in something. It is trustingin Someone you know through the Word of God. You love and know God. You believeGod. You trust God and you live in obedience to His Word always doing His will! Habakkuk2:4 declares, “The just shall live by his faith.” Paul repeats thistruth in Romans 1:17 and Galatians 3:11 and Hebrews echoes it again in Hebrews10:38. We understand that faith is not an occasional act. It is a way of life.
