Thank you for those verses and prayers - I never read the first ones in Isaiah. I usually have attacks sneak up on me and then later realize where it's coming from. It seems like every time I start to grow or learn something new then the evil one is right there stirring up trouble to discourage or sidetrack or else damage relationships. Does it happen this way with others? Those who you could influence the most towards God are the ones who then lose the influence and you end up feeling attacked.
Hello Soverign Grace, first thanks for the reply, Second I hope you are enduring this attack. we're in a war
that has already been won in Christ Jesus. it is left now to only endure to the END, and we do that by "FAITH", meaning STANDING on the Word of God. there are thing to pray about, but also there are things we must "STAND" for, and aganist. and by Standing on the Word of God we "OVERCOME".
that's why I gave you those scripture, so that you are reminded to STAND also. listen,
Eph 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
Eph 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able
to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Eph 6:12
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,
but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Eph 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to
withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Eph 6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
Eph 6:15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Eph 6:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
Eph 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Eph 6:18
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
see, the war is already won, the devil power is only deception. that word "
wiles" of the devil, it only means "trickery".
now to show you how I stood aganist the devil in
an argument, and won the battle in christ Jesus, and overcame the trickery of the evil one. is this, don't you argue with them, it
takes two to argue, if its family members, a love one, just listen, and evidently they will run out of fuel, (things to argue about). if you join in their argument, you're only adding fuel to their FIRE. so to quench a fire, is to put up a
firewall, a shield. Eph 6:16 "Above all, taking
the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the
fiery darts of the wicked".
sometimes you have to fight fire with fire, that wisdom of God came in the form of old back woodsmen who knew how to put out a forest fire. their shield was a back fire.
the word of God, his wisdom, can be a back fire to an argument, it will allow you to overcome any fire/argument, just STAND still and watch the Salv......... of the Lord, by using your shield, "Faith" that he has already given you.
Hope this helped.
be blessed, and be strong in the Lord.
