Shield of Faith // Heart Chakra https://yogafaith.org The Shield of Faith can be associated with the heart chakra as both relate to love, compassion, and acceptance. This chakra is also related to our identity / identity in Christ and who He says that we are. The Shield of Faith is a means of protection against "the fiery darts of the wicked one". Our shield is not a passive defense but an active one, representing our trust and confidence in God. It is through faith that we are able to deflect doubts, fears, temptations, accusations, and remain steadfast in our walk with Christ. This faith emanates from our core being, much like the strength of a warrior depends on the integrity of their shield in battle. The Shield of Faith can protect against offense (the bait of satan), bitterness or unforgiveness, while drawing us toward postures of love and forgiveness. Because these things can cause brokenness or a broken heart, this area can also be associated with the Breastplate of Righteousness, which protects

Shoes of Peace and Solar Plexus Embodying the Full Armor Shoes of the Gospel of Peace // Solar Plexus Chakra The Shoes of the Gospel of Peace correspond to the Solar Plexus Chakra because of the importance to be grounded in the Gospel of peace and progressively move towards peace with self and others whenever possible. If possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Romans 12:18, AMP The Lord has blessed each of us with supernatural gifts that are the center (the core) of who we are in Him. When we truly know our identity in Him and why He created us, we can live with a profound peace. This life force epicenter is also known as the Power Chakra. It is located in the solar plexus (deep in the belly) and is associated with governing our personal power, will, autonomy, as well as our digestion and metabolism. It’s your core - your authentic, true self and what makes you, you. It beckons the following questions: What is at your core center? What do you love to do? What would you be d

Breastplate of Righteousness and Sacral Chakra Embodying the Full Armor Breastplate of Righteousness // Sacral Chakra The Breastplate of Righteousness, protects the heart and vital organs. It could be likened to maintaining purity and moral integrity through God in one's relationships and emotional connections. When I place the Breastplate of Righteousness on each morning, yes, I know that it protects my heart from the fiery darts, but I also praise God that it is protecting those things that He placed in my heart such as the dreams and creative gifts He has blessed me with. I spend time thanking Him for these gifts and that He has created one of the largest pieces of armor to protect the most important organ, my heart, and the seat of my soul. Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life. Proverbs 4:23, AMP The Sacral Chakra is located in the abdomen, lower back, and sexual organs. This powerful God-given life center relates to emotion

An Introduction An Embodiment of God's Divine Protection Embodying the Full Armor; A Journey Through The Armor Of God And The Chakra System In the practice of YogaFaith, worshiping the Lord is a whole body experience (Matt. 22:37, Act 17:28, Mark 12:20). We are to present ourselves as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to the Lord (Rom. 12:1). In Psalms 139 we read how God has made us wonderfully and intricately, woven us together in our mother’s womb before there were even days (Psalm 139:16). Our body is a living, breathing, miracle. The Holy Spirit hovered over our nostrils and breathed life so that we would become a living soul (Genesis 2:7), setting humans apart from any other creation.
