Everyday Shields of Faith

When my husband had cancer fifteen years ago it was hard, it was scary. But my relationship with God enabled me to receive peace despite the circumstances. Thankfully, Dan is cancer free but at the time of the tumor, surgery and chemo I had to be intentional to stop and breathe and let my anxiousness go to God. We can read in 1 Peter 5:8 that the enemy is always prowling around trying to devour our hope and steal our peace, especially in scary situations.

One night I had a dream of my husband Dan and I standing in a circle between two pillars that spelled the word, “IS.” “What did that mean?” God said: “My grace IS sufficient.” “My power IS perfected in weakness.” And then I saw people praying in a circle around us, facing outwards and protecting us with shields of faith. The enemy was prowling around trying to find an entrance in hoping to shake us up, but the power of prayer and faith prevented him. That was an amazing dream. Remember GOD is always greater than the enemy of our souls and always good…everyday.
