Quench Every Fiery Missile – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional April 2nd

(Satan’s Darts Are No Match For Your Faith)

TO THE BIBLE: Ephesians 6:13 AMPC
“Therefore put on God’s complete armor, that you may be able to resist and stand your ground on the evil day [of danger], and, having done all [the crisis demands], to stand [firmly in your place].”

LET’S TALK
When you study and meditate on each part of the armour of God in Ephesians 6, you’ll discover that the description of what we’re supposed to wear reveals how satan fights. From the war paraphernalia given to you by God, you can decipher what weapons the enemy uses.

For instance, Ephesians 6:14-17 says, “Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation….”

Notice what it says about faith: with it, you can quench all of satan’s fiery darts. That tells us what kind of material his missiles are: they all have to do with making you accept or believe something against God and His Word.

These may be fiery darts of discouragement, depression, fear, failure, or sickness; all aimed at making you take a stand against God’s Word.

Thankfully, the Bible says, “…taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one” (Ephesians 6:16). With your faith, you can put out, not some, but all of the fiery missiles of the wicked one. Your faith is your shield.

Take up your faith! Don’t give it up. Someone said, “I was actually acting in faith but when things went wrong, I gave up.” No! Don’t drop your faith; the missiles directed at you from demonic forces can only be neutralised by faith.

The Bible says, “…Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Romans 10:17). The more of God’s Word that comes into your spirit, the more faith you get and the more you use your faith, the more it’s strengthened. And when the devil throws his missiles, you’ll be unmoved because they’ll be disintegrated by your shield of faith.

Speak:
My faith is a weapon of defense and an instrument of victory over and against the adversary and adversities of life. With it, I put out all the fiery missiles of the wicked one. The Word of God has taken full possession of my spirit, soul and body. I’m eternally triumphant in Christ because my faith is the victory that overcomes the world! Hallelujah!
