Finally, be empowered in the Lord and in the might of His strength. Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the stratagems of the devil, For our wrestling is not against blood and flesh but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenlies. Therefore take up the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Ephesians 6:10-13.
As believers who love the Lord and who are standing for His testimony, we must not be ignorant of the schemes of God’s enemy in his attacks on the church. In order to help educate and inoculate us against such attacks, the co-workers in North America have released a series of articles on ShepherdingWords.com, which expose the stratagems of the devil.
This week, we have a narration of the article titled “Quenching the Flaming Darts of the Enemy” originally published on February 14, 2022. In order to be part of God’s corporate warrior in Ephesians 6, we must learn how to quench the flaming darts of the enemy, which may come to us directly or through people who are full of their own thoughts and opinions. These darts include temptations, doubts, criticisms, slandering and accusations particularly of leading ones, all with the goal of undermining the building up of the church (Matt. 16:18). As this article explains, we can and must learn to take up the shield of faith to quench these darts (Eph. 6:16) both through our long-term constitution and daily practice of spending time with the Lord first thing in the morning.
May the Lord supply us through this speaking and equip us to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
