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 is a offensive as well as a defensive weapon given to the Body of Christ by God. This weapon is fail proof. It is unbeatable and unstoppable. The devils strategies and attacks are no match for its unquenchable force. The above scripture reveals to us that the shield of faith is the answer to every Satanic assault because it quenches all the fiery darts of the wicked, that's right all. The Holy Ghost revealed to Paul's readers that it didn't matter that the darts were fiery they were still quenched.
Fiery defined:
• burning or full of fire
It is the same as scorching, blistering, sweltering, sizzling, blazing, flaming and hot.
The word quench means to put out or extinguish a fire or a light. It doesn't matter how hot the situation or pressure may be, your faith can put it out. Jesus prayed for Peter that his faith would not fail because Satan was desiring to sift him as wheat. Jesus knew the only thing that could quench Satan's fiery darts against Peter was his faith. The scriptures remind us in Isaiah 54 that no weapon formed against us shall be able to prosper. Why, because faith stops it progress and nullifies its attack. Take courage child of God and know that there is no weapon of darkness that can defeat or paralyse our faith, it is impenetrable. Faith comes by hearing the word of God. So keep your shield of faith up by staying full of the word of God. Wear it faithfully, it will never rust or corrupt, you can never out grow it, it will always fit like a glove!
So go ahead and walk talk and be courageous in your armour of God it is tried and true, it will always protect you.
Quench I say and then quench*
