In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Ephesians 6:16
What things would you call flaming arrows?
Do they have to come from an enemy?
Why does Jesus say, “Get behind me Satan,” to his buddy Peter?
How do we stab ourselves?
HOW can we deflect these arrows?
Words are powerful and one of the biggest “arrows” on my list. Others who cut me down, when I limit myself (and my God), and COMPARING…ouch!
They sharpen their tongues like swords and aim cruel words like deadly arrows.
Psalm 64:3
The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.
Proverbs 18:21
What kind of words/arrows are coming at you?
How are you deflecting those that don’t line up with God’s truth?
Are the words you are speaking ones to build up or tear down?
The world plants seeds of doubt, doom, and fear. Bad news sells and spreads like a wild fire. Wouldn’t it be amazing if it was the Good News spreading instead?
It's not really about me... 
Let us eat YOUR Word/s, God so that we are shaped and formed by them and can release them to bring life to others! Thank you for the shield of faith that protects us. We believe in you, God, and we believe what YOU have said! Anything that doesn’t line up with your word we reject!
Love you, friend. You’re awesome. Been a long time since I’ve been on the blog but I love so much seeing you “doing your thing” here ; )
P.S. Changed my blog “name” (if you noticed)…maybe representative of something He is doing…giving me a new name…?? ; )
Good to see you out here too! He does bring so much nourishment! Bless you sister!
