Grace Vineyard Christian Fellowship

Beloved Ones, I AM your shield, your fortress, your rock, your stronghold, your deliverer, your strength, your salvation, your lovingkindess, your high tower… I AM your only true defense. It is your faith in Me… the Living Word… that protects, upholds, and sustains you. I AM your shield of faith which extinguishes all the fiery darts of the enemy. You must trust in Me and Me alone in order to have the freedom that I desire for you to have.

Some have taken up their “shield of faith” in… in what?… in many other things… things that have built protective walls… walls which act as a Plexiglas barrier… a barrier that allows you to see ahead but hinders you from moving beyond it… a barrier that allows others to see you but hinders them from being able to touch you. These false shields must come down because they disrupt the flow of My Kingdom in and through you. They are fear-based, not love-based, and therefore cannot bear the fruit of the Kingdom.

Hope in My Word. From My mouth come knowledge and understanding. I give wisdom and guard the paths of justice. I preserve the way of My saints. I AM a shield to those who walk uprightly. I AM your hiding place… come out from behind your Plexiglas barriers and trust in Me as your shield… take up your shield of faith in Me with which you will be able to quench all of the fiery darts of the wicked one. There is so much more freedom that awaits you on the other side of your tough facade.
