Ephesians 6:16
In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
Spent some time on His word earlier. " Extinguish" - in the dictionary explain to put out (a light or fire). That explain why the word "flaming" came about. I checked on NKJ version...it quoted : above all, take the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all fiery darts of the wicked ones.
So, this shield is a "Watery shield"....because if it is wooden, then the fiery darts will burn it up!
Interestingly, "Watery Shield"...so where did the water come from ? Back in John 7:38, Jesus said, "Whoever believes in me, as the scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him." The next verse (John 7:39) says, by this he meant the spirit.
Jesus was talking about the Holy Spirit, which he likened to rivers of living waters flowing out of us.....So, when we pray in Spirit, rivers of living water will flow, quenching / extinguish the devil's fiery / flaming arrow thrown at us!
