The fourth piece of God's Armor All Christians have been c
Covered mentioned in Ephesians 6:16 is "the Shield of Faith."

All Christians are instructed to be strong in the Lord, to be empowered through your union with Him; to draw your strength from Him that strength which His boundless might provides.

All Christians are to wear the Full armor of God and use the weapons of His warfare. Ephesians 6:10-18, 2 Cor 10:4-5

What is the Shield of Faith?
Who does God say in His Word your Shield is?

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭18:2‬ says:‬
The Lord is your Strength, He is your rock, your fortress, and your savior; my God is your rock, in whom you find protection. He is your Shield, the power that saves you, and your place of safety.

“As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the LORD is proven; He is a Shield to all who Trust in Him. It is God who arms you with His Strength, And Makes your way Perfect.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭18:30, 32‬ ‬

Then the Lord Says He has Given you the Shield of His Salvation; His right hand has holds you up, His Gentleness Makes you Great! He has Enlarged your path under you, So your feet do not slip.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭18:35-36‬ ‬

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭33:18-22‬ says: ‬Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield. For our heart shall rejoice in Him, Because we have trusted in His holy name. Let Your mercy, O LORD, be upon us, Just as we hope in You.”

“For the Lord God is your Sun and Shield; the Lord bestows [present] grace and favor and [future] glory (honor, splendor, and heavenly bliss)! No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly. You His child.
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭84:11‬ ‬

Who is the Shield of Faith?

The Lord Himself is our shield (Ps 7:10,13; Zech 12:8),providing protection by inbirthing His spoken-word (4487 /rhḗma) of faith in the believer. This always extinguishes (takes the fire out of) the missals of the enemy.

‭‭Yes! The Lord Jesus Christ Himself is your defense and Shield, you depend on God, Who saves the upright in heart. ‬‬He has also prepared for him deadly weapons; He makes His arrows fiery shafts.” (‭‭Psalm‬ ‭7:10, 13‬)‬

So you can say: You, O Lord, are a Shield for me, my glory, and the lifter of my head. (Psalm ‭3:3‬)

The Lord's Shield of Faith covers your whole body. It is your Spiritual Full-body shield which refers to God's inworking of faith – i.e. "the shield of faith" which protects the whole believer, covering your whole person in spiritual warfare.

So the Shield of Faith for the Born Again Believer is the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. It is His Spiritual Weapon to All who Believe on Jesus Name.

It is always a gift from God, and never something that can be produced by people. In short, 4102/pistis ("faith") for the believer is "God's divine persuasion" – and therefore distinct from human belief (confidence), yet involving it. The Lord continuously births faith in you so you can know what He prefers, i.e. the persuasion of His will (1 Jn 5:4).

Bottomlone: Faith (4102/pistis) is always received from God, and never generated by you.

Faith is only exclusively given to the redeemed. It is not a virtue that can be worked up by human effort.

So Lift up over all the Spiritual Armor the covering shield of saving faith, upon which you can quench all the flaming fiery darts of the wicked one.
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6:16‬ ‭
