1/13/17  THE SHIELD OF FAITH AND BACKLASH

HEARD AND SAW:

FAITH IS A WEAPON

Whom the Lord sets free shall be free indeed.  I am here to help you deliverer.  What is in your arsenal? Faith.  A time in the end what I am about to do.  A fiery dart. Take a hold of the weapon.  Shield of faith.

[Lord do You mean when I doubt, this lowers my shield of faith, allowing the enemy to come in?]

Ephesians 6:16

(AMP)  Above all, lift up the [protective] shield of faith with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

(NLT)  In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil.

DOUBT OPENS DOOR TO BACKLASH

Yes that’s why you must not waver.  To follow your conscience and remain firm. 

[So Lord what some people call backlash is really their own doubt???]

Yes it opens the door.

1/19/17 THE WEAPON OF FAITH

I saw a turquoise gift with a ribbon on it, right in front of me.  Equipped.  Arsenal weapon.  Faith is an assurance deeper than you know.  Don’t wobble.  Precious how else can I equip you?  You must stay firm.  Come to Me daughter. 

Hebrews 11:1

(AMP)  Now faith is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen [the conviction of their reality--faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses].

(NLT)  Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see.

WORD TO PONDER:  DOUBT OPENS THE DOOR TO BACKLASH  1/13/17

Dear ones, what you consider backlash for making a stand is actually backlash for your wavering doubts in attempting to do so.  Precious ones this is an important message, understand the difference.  When you STAND in faith, this keeps your shield UP and the fiery darts simply don’t touch you.  There IS no backlash because the shield of faith quenches them.  Your faith totally extinguishes all the fire of the enemy, stopping them fully from all influence. 

Wobbling and wavering is not standing.  When you back down, back off, back away from your stand of faith, it opens the door to demonic plunder.   In order to take you higher and deeper into My kingdom work, I have been working on your levels faith.  I have been training you how to stand, and in standing – not to waver or wobble with doubt.  Following your conscience is the number one wall that protects your faith. 

When you violate your conscience it brings veils of separation between us, not because I draw away from you, but because by Adam’s nature, you draw away from Me.  Your disobedience strips you of your covering of light and makes you naked to all who see into the realm of the spirit.  Secondly you must close the door to the spirit of fear in your lives.  If you entertain fear (which is the opposite of faith) and do not resist it, this too opens the door to backlash.  Beloveds close the doors and  learn to STANDING WITHOUT WAVERING.  

Gen 3:7-11 AMP  Then the eyes of the two of them were opened [that is, their awareness increased], and they knew that they were naked; and they fastened fig leaves together and made themselves coverings.  (8)  And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool [afternoon breeze] of the day, so the man and his wife hid and kept themselves hidden from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden.  (9)  But the LORD God called to Adam, and said to him, "Where are you?"  (10)  He said, "I heard the sound of You [walking] in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid myself."  (11)  God said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten [fruit] from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?"

Ephesians 6:10-18 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in heavenly places. 13 Therefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girded about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, with which you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thus with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
