The Hebrew word is used for drawing water up out of a well. This usually is through a suffering or loss that we thought would never happen to us.

We need to stand upon the gospel of peace, that is what the Lord did for us, and not upon any special doctrine or practice. Then, with these 3 as a base, we take up the shield of faith. The shield of faith surrounds us in all directions. When we meet with faith the troubles which satan throws at us, the troubles strengthen our faith. Most importantly, we need to enjoy the Word of God constantly, staying very close to Word, using it to pray to the Lord specific things for all the saints all the time. The Word then becomes our helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit, to slay the thoughts that would have us depart from the Lord.
