We know that the fiery darts from the enemy can be real game changers. Our direction, our calling, and our momentum can all be working to secure we get to where God has called us, and yet the fiery darts are coming at us continuously. Here is what I know about these darts. They do not kill, but they create such a distraction that we can get totally off the mark. Instead of concentrating on the mark, we are so distracted that we put down the pursuit of what God has called us into.
Once again, here is what I know. Our God, He is mightier than any dart that the enemy can send in our direction. All we need to do is pick up our shield of faith and those darts will become inconsequential. Basically, of no importance, insignificant, and frankly trivial. The deceiver is hoping that we see these attacks as legitimate and noteworthy, but we know the difference between truth and lies.
Our strategy is simple. When the attacks of the enemy come at us we counter attack with God’s Word which has victory every time. As we are in agreement with His Word then we have victory too. It just takes knowing our rights as children of God, using them to our best advantage, and stepping out confidently.
1 Peter 1:3-5 CSB Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead and into an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled and unfading, kept in heaven for you. You are being guarded by God’s power through faith for a salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.
