THE SHIELD OF FAITH 1-Hebrews 11:1-6:When I was a boy I lived in the Mobile Police barracks where once or twice in a week theMopolsdemonstrate how to use the shield especially in terms of riot and other unrests.This made me to remember the Roman soldiers shield.They were actually two types of shields used by the Romans soldiers of the day.One,a small(24-36 diameter)round one,was for dress parades.The other,was a large(60x30)rectangular shield that in Greek was named,a door,because it looked like the soldier was carrying a full size leather covered door behind which he could safely stand.Each shield was made of six layers of thick animal hide specially tanned and woven together making them as tough and durable as metal yet relatively light weight.The leather shields could be soaked in water before battle so that in the event the enemy would shoot bullets of fire on them,the fire would be extinguished on impact.This how faith comes!This is how to or take or sieze the shield of faith,by hearing the spoken Word of God.So,the Word of God is what faith should be based upon.Jesus told us to speak aloud directly to the situation based upon the what the Word says,and do not doubt,that we will have whatever we say.Now how do we express to God,that we have faith and do not doubt,while we are waiting for the manifestation of what we pray for to arrive?We start to praise God and give thanks for it as though it has already manifested. Exercise your faith when you pray always.Lord,help my unbelief,strenghten my faith in Jesus name.Amen
