Take Up the Shield of Believing
Dearly beloved, we now stand in Christ Jesus as righteous, holy and without blame before our Father. We are accepted in the Beloved. Nothing can ever separate us from God’s love for us in Christ Jesus our Lord. Take up the shield of the right way of believing!
We are now free to live as dead men who were raised to life again. God gave us the spirit of life in Christ Jesus and we are sealed for the Day of Redemption when we will acquire the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ! Stand in the liberty wherewith Christ made us free!
Our adversary does not want us to know, much less believe these wonderful realities. He does not want us to understand our exalted position in Christ. He wants us blind, ignorant, deceived, and living in denial of these truths. Instead, arm yourself with the shield of the right way of believing with which you can extinguish all the fiery darts he throws at you. Believe the full measure of who you are in Christ, beloved.
We are complete in Christ and we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us; take up the shield of believing.
The old serpent is the father of lies. He is the deceiver, the tempter, the accuser of the brethren, and the condemner. He attempts to torment us by bringing up our past sins, he plagues us with deadly doubts of unworthiness, and haunts us with the shortcomings of our flesh. He is the accuser of God’s children, but beloved, new things have come! We are in Christ now, we are God’s workmanship created in Christ Jesus on the basis of his accomplishments.
Don’t listen to the adversary any longer, utilize the shield of believing, and quench these attacks.
Stand against the adversary by believing who God says you are in Christ, beloved. Our Father, by His exceeding great grace, has freely given us all things with Christ.
Romans 8:35, says, “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?”
Whether the adversary orchestrates situations that afflict us with vice-like mental pressures (tribulation), or he sets up extremely distressing situations that put us between a rock and a hard place (distress), they cannot separate us from the love of Christ.
Whether our enemies constantly hound us (persecution), or whether we are destitute and suffer severe lack at times (famine or nakedness), or whether we are hit head-on with dangerous situations designed by the adversary to paralyze us with fear (peril), they cannot separate us.
Whether we are the victims of the cutting words of character assassination by the accuser and his minions, or whether we face death itself (sword), nothing can separate us from the love of Christ!
None of the adversary’s assaults can separate us from Christ’s love for us. These are his attempts to burden, obstruct, depress, discourage, and intimidate us so that we faint in our minds; “take up the shield of believing, with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the wicked one.”
If we are to overcome these challenges we must be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might; lift up your shield.
Romans 8: 38 and 39: “For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Whether in life or even in the grave; no spiritual power – whether angel, spiritual principality, or power; nothing in the dimension of time – whether past, present or future; nothing in the dimension of space – whether on earth or in the heavenlies; no created thing can separate us God’s love that is in Christ Jesus our Lord . . . in whom we are more than conquerors.
We are “more than conquerors” because our victory in Christ Jesus is not only during the fleeting period of this life – it is over death itself!
In Christ Jesus, we are not only “more than conquerors” today, but throughout eternity!
In Christ Jesus, we are “more than conquerors”, not only in the senses realm but also in the spiritual realm. Our Father delivered us from the power of darkness. Nothing in the spirit realm is as powerful as the spirit of God that dwells in us. Beloved, God gave us the power to tread over all the power of the adversary; believe it!
The reality that “we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us” is a greater reality than any obstacle we may face! Lift up the shield of believing and use the sword of the spirit, which is the Word of God. On guard, beloved!
'Putting On The Full Armor of God -We Win'
We win in the spiritual competition by thinking and acting on God's Word, therefore, we are strong in the Lord. By The power of Jesus Christ who won the victory over the adversary setting us up to win in the spirit competition. -We win day by day.
Ephesians 6:10,11: Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
"Finally" is in conclusion of the pervious directives. We can determine to act on the truths of the great mystery recorded in Ephesians 3, and we can decide to walk worthy of the vocation in which we are called of Ephesians 4. In Ephesians 5 we are exhorted to become followers of God walking in love, light and to be circumspect. Here we delve into Ephesians 6 "Being Strong in the Lord and in the power of his might."
God also tells us we are to put on all the equipment of God in order to stand against the methods of the devil. We put that Word of God on "just right," as headgear and we keep it on to win in the spiritual competition.
In Ephesians 6:12: For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places (from on high).
Our competition is a mental competition against an already defeated ruler of darkness and spiritual principalities and powers. That's why we need to keep the Word of God on in our minds, like headgear in sports. Our competition is not against people- "flesh and blood" but, of the adversary and his regime.
The adversary rules the devil spirit powers referred to in Ephesians 6:12. He knows he's already been defeated by Jesus Christ. However he does not want born-again believers to know it and to claim the victory. If the Adversary can help it he'll try keep the believers ignorant of his defeat and laying distractions in order to prevent us from putting to mind, God's Word. The Words of God have power against the adversaries' realm when fitly spoken.
Ephesians 6:13: Wherefore take unto you the whole armour (the complete equipment) of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day(the evil one), and having done all, to stand.
"Wherefore" could be rendered "because of this." We wrestle in our minds against the spiritual realities of verse 12 in the spiritual competition, we need to take into manifestation the complete equipment of God. He has given to us in the Bible, He has written His Words for us to believe and the manifestations of the spirit for us to utilize to win against the spiritual competition. We have everything we need and every reason "to stand" in victory over our adversary, the devil.
Ephesians 6:14: Stand therefore, having your loins girt (our commitment center) about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
The phrase, "having your loins girt about with truth" in verse 14 can be understood as committing ourselves to the truth of God's Word. The expression, "tighten up your belt a notch" gives a present day understanding.
The way we stand is to commit ourselves to believe and live the rightly presented and handled truth of God's Word.
This verse also exhorts us to have on the "breastplate of righteousness." The "breastplate" refers to the heart of our renewed mind. We renew our mind to what God via His Word, His Will says about our righteousness spiritually. In (2 Corinthians 5:21:) tells us as believers of Christ, we have the righteousness of God. Will you stand on what God has done for us in Christ Jesus?! Yes- we as committed believers of Christ we do!
Ephesians 6:15: And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
The "gospel of peace" is referring to the good news of the Gospel. Once we put on God's Word in our hearts and minds, remaining strong in the Lord we hold forth the gospel to others. This is a vital part of winning in the spiritual competition, speaking the truth in love!
Ephesians 6:16: Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
The "shield of faith" can be rendered as discus of believing. Just like a well trained athlete, an olympian is skillful hurling a discus with all their might in the right direction, we commit with all our might to believing in the right direction what God has done for us in Christ Jesus. " The wicked" is referring to the evil one, the adversary. We quench the fiery darts of the wicked, which come at us at times from the fives senses realm.
These fiery darts can be a form of corrupt communication which contradicts truth of God's Word.
That's why we hold our mouths in subjection to the instruction of God's Word such as only speak words of grace and which are of edification or, building up someone. The opposite from tearing someone down. As it is written, Life and death is in the power of the tongue. (Proverbs 18:21:)
Also we guard our minds from words spoken to us which are to break us from the holding the Truth of God's Word in our minds. (Proverbs 4:23) tells us to guard our minds because, our thoughts run our life.
Ephesians 12:17:And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
By the Athletic understanding, the "sword of the spirit" could more practically be render the javelin of the spirit. A well trained javelin throwers hurl the javelin to make their mark to win in their competition. Our javelin is the fittly spoken Word of God. We win in the spiritual competition by properly utilizing the words inspired by God via, His Word in every aspect in our lives hitting our mark as we have that God in Christ in us in operation to go the distance.
Our aim has always been as seen in (Ephesians 6:10-17:) how each believer can win in the spirit competition of life. These truths from Ephesians shows us how to keep winning as we discipline our minds like athletes utilizing the gift of holy spirit moment by moment.
Just as Jesus Christ did in defeating the adversary and exposing his regime of devil spirits -we have also, the instruction in the Bible. When he would cast them out of people and healed them. "When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:" (Matthew 8:16:)
We stand against the methods of the devil, by believing God's Word, operate in the gift of holy spirit, and prevailing over any discouragement -One thought at a time.
As we remain strong in the Lord and the power of his might. "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might." (Ephesians 6:10) God will meet our every need as He has fully equipped us in all aspects of life.
We are exhorted and enabled to win daily in the spiritual competition by continuing to stand and utilize all the equipment of God; when we do, we win!
Confessing the Word of God as you believe that Word in your heart results in receiving from God.
1. I will confess that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me (Philippians 4:13) rather than confessing that I can't.
2. I will confess that my God shall supply all my need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19) rather than confessing that I lack.

6. I will confess that God always causes me to triumph in Christ (11 Corinthians 2:14) rather than confessing defeat.
7. I will confess that Christ Jesus is made unto me wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption (1 Corinthians 1:30) rather than confessing that I lack wisdom.
8. I will confess that by Christ's stripes I was healed (1 Peter 2:24) rather than confessing sickness.
9. I will confess that I am carefree and that I am casting all my cares upon him who cares for me (1 Peter 5:7) rather than confessing worries and frustrations.
10. I will confess liberty for where the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (2 Corinthians 3:17) rather than confessing bondage.
