Hello and welcome to CGM Presents: In the Word. My name is Dr. Stephanie Wright. On behalf of Charles George Missions, welcome to “Spiritual Warfare Scriptures.” The resource for this series is the Word of God—the Bible—and the book “Spiritual Warfare Manual: ABC to PhD,” written by yours truly.
Today’s spiritual warfare scripture is about faith, which comes from Ephesians 6, verse 16, and reads:
Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
Faith is a spiritual warfare weapon because we use it to quench ALL the fiery dart of the enemy. All means all, and that’s all that all means.
But it is our faith in God that will bring us through all fiery trials.
Can you recall the most fiery test or trial that you have been through since the Lord came into your life? Did you recall this scripture on faith when you went through that test?
Ephesians 6, verses 13-17 are among the most influential scriptures on spiritual warfare—they tell us to put on the whole armor of God.
But as we stay focused on the shield of faith and quenching the fiery darts of Satan’s attacks, I think about the Hebrew boys in Daniel, Chapter 3. Theirs was the seminal case for true faith in God. When they were thrown into the fire, they had the Angel of the Lord as their shield, which some believe was the pre-incarnate Jesus. When they came out of that fire, Daniel 3:27 said the fire had no power over their bodies, “nor was a hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them.”
So, it is with us when we use the shield of faith to quench the fiery darts of our enemies. Jesus will be with us in the fire, through the fire, and when we come out of the fire. He will never leave us nor forsake us. Hebrews 13:5. And when we come out of our test—as some saints say—we won’t look like what we’ve been through either.
So, remember Ephesians 6:16 the next time you face a fiery trial. Above all, take the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
And please remember the key phrase in that verse—”all the fiery darts”—because all means all the fiery darts, no exclusions.
Thank you for joining us today.

The quote "All means all and that's all that all means" is attributed to Brother Jason Hill from a Wednesday night Bible study that Dr. Charles and I taught.
