Full Shields

The safest place in the universe with regard to unclean spirits who might be trying to harm us is the place of absolute surrender and humility before our God.

When we begin to defend our actions and failures in answer to the Holy Spirit’s conviction, we insulate ourselves from His help and offer our lives to our enemies.

Finally, be strengthened by the Lord and by His vast strength. Put on the full armor of God so that you can stand against the tactics of the Devil. For our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world powers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavens. This is why you must take up the full armor of God, so that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having prepared everything, to take your stand.
