#Shield of faith

[zebratoys]

The flag of Israel is formed by 2 blue horizontal stripes, one on each side over a white background and a Star of David at the center. This six-pointed star is a Judaic symbol and recognized as synonymous with Jewish identity. The blue and white bi-color is inspired by the tallit, a fringed garment worn as a prayer shawl which is typically white with light blue stripes and serves as a reminder of God, the Torah and the Ten commandments. In Judaism, the color blue symbolizes God's glory, purity and severity. The White background represents Chesed which is Divine Benevolence. The Star of David, Magen David in Hebrew is also known as the Shield of David and refers to God as David’s shield, henceforth Israel. King David, who is believed to have used this symbol on his shield, was a legendary warrior and Jerusalem's first king, he reunited the twelve tribes into the nation of Israel and his kingdom represents the golden era of the Judean Empire in ancient Israel. The Star of David on the flag of Israel serves as a powerful emblem of faith, heritage, legacy, and solidarity. The flag's composition is deeply imbued with cultural, historical, and profound religious significance, indicating the People of Israel and their connection to Eretz Yisrael ancestral biblical homeland, affirming a sacred covenant between the tribe of Israel and God, the Torah and the Holy Land of Israel. The moral and holistic virtues values encoded in Israel’s national flag form a Heaven with Earth foundation that align and define Am Yisrael's unique spirit and mission.

Shield of Faith

“Armor Of God Prayer:

Father God,

I put on and stand firm with the BELT OF TRUTH buckled around my waist

I am safe and secure with the BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS guarding my heart from evil, helping me live a life that honors You

I diligently put on the GOSPEL SHOES OF PEACE, willing to go wherever you ask of me

I take and stand behind the SHIELD OF FAITH protected against Satan's fiery darts of doubt, fear, lies and deceit

Now on my head I place the HELMET OF SALVATION keeping my mind focused on You

I grab hold in my hands THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, the Word of God, sharp and true

I am prepared to live today in spiritual victory in Jesus' namel AMEN!” 🙏🕊️🙌

(Based on Ephesians 6:10-18)

THE ARMOR OF GOD

10Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye 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 high places.

13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

15And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

16Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

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 thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

Ephesians 6:10-18 (KJV)

Dealing With the Dragons in Your Life

The Bible is filled with vivid imagery, and few symbols are as striking as the red dragon described in Revelation 12.

“There are many stone sufferers all around us. People who have stared too long and deep into the face of their serpentine sorrows. There is a healthy and good kind of therapy that can be found, but there’s also a type of handling of our hells and horrors that petrifies people. They get frozen in their pain, forever stuck in stone by their continual rehashing of their stories.”

Defending Liberty: Insights from the Book of Mormon War Chapters

In a world filled with adversities and challenges, defending our liberty necessitates an unwavering commitment to truth, justice, and our Christian faith. It is essential to recognize that liberty is not simply a political concept

Raise Shields

I have to admit that I’m a fan of Star Trek and most of its children and grandchildren. One consistent thing across all variants of the show is that as soon as any sort of bad guy started attacking the Enterprise (or other starship), the first thing Captain Kirk (or other captain) would do is order, “Raise shields.” One thing I always wondered, though, is why they would wait until they were under…
