SHIELD Scripture and Prayer Program

GETTING STARTED

Whether you are familiar with the word of God, or this is your first experience, you are moving forward in your faith journey. God’s word is your armor of protection against evil, but having his word close to your heart, memorized, ready to use, in times of need, is your sharpened sword. Through SHIELD, you will be armed and ready to have God’s word at hand when you need it most. That’s why the Lord commands us in Proverbs 7:1, 3: “Treasure my commands. . . .Write them on the tablet of your heart.” Author Robert Morgan stated, “By internalizing Bible scriptures and important prayers, we’re mainstreaming God’s thoughts into our conscious, subconscious, and unconscious logic.”
 

ON GETTING DISCOURAGED

Make sure that you do not allow the SHIELD program to become a burden to you. Approach it with excitement, knowing that the Lord will use it to enhance your Christian walk with Him. All too often with scripture plans, by missing days of reading, a person can feel like they've failed or let the Lord down. They reason within themselves that they have too much to learn and then quit the program altogether. You need to know that's exactly what Satan wants you to do! He knows that the Word will have great impact on your life if you continue with it, and you'll be much more difficult for him to deal with!
