Ephesians 6:16

The Armor of God
10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.11Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.13Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.
16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.18And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.

19Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel,20for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.

Paul stresses “above all” to take the shield of faith. I generally think of a shield used during Paul's time as being round with a height of about 2-2.5 feet. The actual Greek term is thureos, or scutum. The scutum was an oblong shield that could be used to cover the whole body from oncoming attacks, especially arrows. As protective as the scutum was, it isn't to say that the remaining armor was not needed for protection, but Paul identifies the other essential pieces as protection from other types of evil that would do us damage.

Faith is a shield. When the devil throws sickness, failure, set back, frustration, at you, faith acts as a shield to all these things.
