We are continuing to look at spiritual warfare for the believer. Remember, true spiritual warfare is not about territories, but instead a fight for the truth. We will look at the next piece of armor our Lord has provided for us. Ephesians 6: 16 reads: "Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked." We want to focus on quenching the fiery darts. The fiery darts of the wicked one come fast and furiously, and they are going to continue to come while you are in your physical body. Satan will appeal to the lust of your eyes and the pride of life in an effort to destroy you.The only thing that will bat them down is this shield of faith. It is like a big door. The heavily armed soldiers in the Greek infantry, could move with those tremendous shields, put them out in front of them, and stand protected shoulder to shoulder, while the enemy shot everything they had at them. When the enemy was out of ammunition, they would move in, certain of victory. That is the way to stand against the fiery darts of the evil one. Know that in your own flesh you are no match for Satan, but when you have the spiritual armor given to you by the Lord, you will be able to stand!
