Shields

CLICK ON PICTURE TO ENLARGE

I stayed home sick from church today, so I made this blog. As I was looking through things I decided to draw this picture that has been in my head for months.

It has to do with the Holy Ghost and how studying the scriptures fills us with it and protects us from the evils of the world.

At church last week while I was teaching, I taught the subject at the 12 year old boys level:
I likened the Holy Ghost to the popular video game Halo, where the soldier has a status bar for health and for his shield. The shield happens to be very important in protecting the soldiers health. It is a special shield that when damaged, given time it will recharge. We can also charge our spiritual shield of the Holy Ghost, it just takes a little time. Can a person make it through a whole level of Halo without their shield? Possibly. Isn't it much easier with it though? Yes, absolutely! Are you able to do it without fearing so much for your soldiers health? Yes. So in life, if we will charge our spiritual shields of the Holy Ghost, even if it's just a little bit, we can beat each level of every day more easily, fearing less. Without our shield we could make it, but why should we when it is so much better with it? Let us charge our shields through scriptures and daily prayer. DC 10:5 ^"aPray always, that you may come off ^bconqueror; yea, that you may conquer Satan, and that you may ^cescape the hands of the servants of Satan that do uphold his work." Let us be conquerors of evil "Taking the shield of faith wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the ^afiery darts of the wicked"(DC 27:17)
