Restoring Your Shield of Faith Quotes

“Mordecai knew he had to have a connection to prevent the enemy’s plan from prevailing. Esther was his connection; she had been positioned by God for “such a time as this” (Esther 4:14). Many Christians today are being similarly positioned to see the plan of the enemy. Others are being positioned to be the connecting point to overthrow the enemy. I am praying that any plot of the enemy to try and stop the covenant blessings of our inheritance from coming forth would be revealed. We must find the divine connections and overthrow the enemy’s plan! This is the time to overthrow decrees that have been set against God’s covenant people and that keep us from corporately advancing. Esther prayed and fasted three days prior to setting the wheels in motion to overthrow the enemy’s plan. She had faith to go into the king’s court, because she had spiritually prepared herself by fasting for three days. Fasting helps prepare us for what we must face in our battle ahead. Esther was at the right place at the right time and did the right thing. Therefore, she had victory over the enemy. HELP”

“In 2 Kings 18—19, we find that Sennacherib, a type of enemy of God’s covenant, overtook everyone in his path. This ruler then threatened to overcome Hezekiah. Many times the enemy draws our eyes to what he is doing, and then he convinces us that we are next in line. Sennacherib sent a letter to Hezekiah. Hezekiah presented this letter to the Lord as a prophetic act. When we write down the enemy’s threats and hold them up to the Lord, He will give us an order, a strategy and assistance. Faith overcomes! 10.”

“We can be creative in confronting the enemy. Faith is creative. We must never presume upon God and think that we can confront the enemy in the same manner we confronted him in our last season of victory. When the Philistines regrouped against David, he asked the Lord, “Should I go up again?” The Lord said, “Yes, but not in the same way.” The Lord told David to listen for the sound of the wind in the mulberry trees (see 2 Sam. 5:23-24). We need to allow the Holy Sprit to supernaturally fill us. We must listen for the voice of the Holy Spirit. There is a sound from heaven that will guide us. The Spirit of God in us will cause us to hear that sound. Listen for the new sound!”

“We find in Numbers 21 that the people got to another place where they didn’t seem able to move forward, and they grew very thirsty without water. We too will have dry times along the path to our promise. God commanded the people to gather and sing. Verse 17 informs us that they began to sing, “Spring up, O well,” the well began to fill with water so that they could drink and be refreshed. When we stop and praise, we will advance. Corporate worship is necessary for our victories in the days ahead. We need to find our place of corporate worship. Even if we don’t feel like worshiping, we need to worship. God will refresh us; He will give us strength; and we will be able to advance.”

“Many times when we, like Moses, feel blocked, we want to stop. Then He told Moses, “Lift up your rod” (v. 16)—Moses’ symbol of authority. We have a measure of authority that God has given us. If we exercise that measure, our way will begin to open up.”
― Chuck D. Pierce, Restoring Your Shield of Faith

“Righteous like an Oak Tree Someone once said, “When God wants to grow a squash, He takes six months. When God wants to grow an oak tree, He takes a hundred years.” Isaiah tells us that God is building us into “oaks of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified” (61:3, NASB).”

“Keep going no matter what. Over the years, I’ve learned that if we press on with God, we do win. The only thing that will cause us to lose during a time of testing is stopping. If we keep moving, God will make a way and we will win. James”

“Remember that discouragement does not come from God. When we feel that mantle of discouragement coming down over us, we should not just sit there and wallow in it! We need to rise up in faith and say, “This isn’t from God! God doesn’t want me under this!”
― Chuck D. Pierce, Restoring Your Shield of Faith

“The Word says we should give thanks in every circumstance (see 1 Thess. 5:18). We can act upon this verse and ask God to build that reflex into us. We can thank God in every situation and receive the strength to keep our shield of faith in place.”

“Be sure we are on the right path. Some people don’t see God work because God never promised them what they are trying to get. If we feel like we are not getting anywhere, we need to step back and make sure we have heard God. We should go to leaders whom we trust, who know us. We need to listen—and take notes—as they speak into our life. We need to ask them, “Is this really what God is saying to me?” If it isn’t God’s promise, no amount of perseverance will get us there. Presumption is not faith. We need to be certain that we have heard from God.”

“SOME PEOPLE DON’T
SEE GOD WORK BECAUSE
GOD NEVER PROMISED
THEM WHAT THEY ARE
TRYING TO GET.”

“Paul waited 16 years for God to open the door to his destiny. These were 16 years of learning, preparation and testing. Because Paul remained faithful and passed the test, God was able to send him out as an apostle to change an empire.”

“God says we must complete the testing before we can obtain the promise. James wrote, “Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised” (Jas. 1:12, NIV). We do not obtain the promise without passing the test.”

“Moses fell into the trap of hope deferred. He eventually grew weary of the battle. As Moses was in the wilderness with all the people around him moaning, complaining and accusing, he began to grow weary. He took his eyes off God and put them on his situation.”
― Chuck D. Pierce, Restoring Your Shield of Faith

“God’s picture of answered prayer is not a vending machine but a harvest. We have a need, so we sow our faith in the good soil of God’s promise. As we sow, we nurture and water our promise until the time of harvest. When the time of harvest has fully come, we reap based upon what we have sown!”
― Chuck D. Pierce, Restoring Your Shield of Faith

“In the midst of hope deferred, our shield of faith seems like a heavy burden to carry. The temptation is to lay it down. But if we let go of our faith, we can miss the promise. It is not enough to start out in faith; we must continue along the path, taking each step in faith. And we must be patient. Faith + Patience = Promises Received Many”
― Chuck D. Pierce, Restoring Your Shield of Faith

“Faith works by love. Once we experience His liberty and love, we will be able to resist that call from self to be pitied and can overthrow hope deferred.3 Hope deferred happens when we begin with an expectation that God will break through. We face a test, and our shield of faith is in place, but we have assumed that God would act in a certain way and in a certain time frame. The time we have established comes, but we don’t see the answer. The fulfillment of our hope is deferred. We find ourselves continuing to wait for a breakthrough, but as we wait we grow tired and become discouraged. Our heart feels sick. Satan tells us that the breakthrough will never come.”

“Some of our greatest trials are related to a spirit of infirmity. This spirit produces weakness. Whether our problem is moral, spiritual or physical, we need a Healer. Sickness takes a great toll on our lives. Disease can produce tremendous confusion and havoc. Disease is no respecter of persons or class. During these time of infirmity, we need the Healer.”
― Chuck D. Pierce, Restoring Your Shield of Faith

“A word from Satan can sound very religious—Satan loves to quote Scripture. The difference is that God’s word releases faith; Satan’s word releases fear, doubt and unbelief”
― Chuck D. Pierce, Restoring Your Shield of Faith

“Any time we experience loss, trauma, wounding or injustice, our mind-set can go in two directions: We can live believing that God can heal and forgive, or our thoughts can form around attitudes of rejection, self-defense and self-pity.”
― Chuck D. Pierce, Restoring Your Shield of Faith

“• Faith is an expectation that God is faithful. It expects that God will keep His promise. Fear is exactly the opposite. • Fear is an expectation that God will not be faithful. It expects that God will not keep His promise.”

“However, I saw the blessings on them in heavenly places. All of a sudden the stirring inside of me felt like an explosion. I said to the Lord, “What is going on?” It seemed as if He impressed me with a loud voice, “I am releasing My faith in you!” I felt like I had so much faith inside that I would explode and turn over the bus I was riding in! I then said to the Lord, “What do I do with this faith?” He replied, “Give it away.”
