While making a fire, when the fire is small, we shield it with our hands to protect it from the wind. As the fire grows, it gets to a stage where it forces your hands away and the wind fans it and makes it bigger.
You must be constantly connected to God who is our source and His power will flow through you renewing you from day to day.
God has always been in the business of shielding.If enemies are pursuing you and you call on the name of the Lord, they will be unable to touch you. Proverbs 18: 10
