Back in the 90's, there was a gesture of discourtesy with an equally discourteous directive aimed towards a person that you didn't want to be bothered with. The bothered one would extend their arm in the international stop sign position towards the annoying one's face and then look away while saying in a condescending tone, "talk to the HAND." This latest painting draws from that as well as what St.Thomas More said: “The devil, that proud spirit, cannot endure to be mocked.”
When the enemy comes at me talking trash, I extend this piece of my armor in his face and say, "Talk to the SHIELD." Conversation over. Fancy that.
You fight fire WITH Fire; that's one way to extinguish the devil's "annoying darts."
This Shield has the Bloody Red Fire of the Lord upon it and highlights the Cross that reminds the enemy he was DEFEATED. Amen. Shields UP.
