Unlike the Roman 'thureos' and counter- intuitively, this faith shield only grows stronger and lighter with use. Nothing else but faith can quench the fire that the devil hurls at us. We believe in what our God can and is willing to do. When we trust Him, our faith will not be shaken, our feet will not be moved no matter what the attack, arrow or aim the evil one has planned for us. Whatever scheme he has, it will fail against the shield of faith. He tried killing our Lord who arose! Failure! He 's going to set up his kingdom, a one world order- which Christ will rule! Epoch failure! For now, we hold on to every promise He made, we will see the victory come and we will see the enemy run!
"Saving faith is a movement of trust going out from ourselves onto and laying hold of and resting upon the object of its confidence. So in picking up the shield of faith we are called to a life of faith. Not a one time expression of that faith but a continual movement onto God."
“The NT pictures the Christ life as a walk that is also a fight, since world, flesh and the devil constantly oppose us and have to be beaten back. In this fight it is for faith that we fight and resist the enemy by drawing strength from God through prayer with an energetic refusal to be crushed by strain, discouragement or perplexity. The life of faith is lived not on beds of ease but on fields of war.” J.I. Packer
