13 September Extinguishing Flaming Missiles 1 JOHN 5:4-5 Scripture promises that we who believe in Jesus Christ will overcome the world. Yet most of us will admit we are failing to "overcome" in at least one area of our life. Why? The reason is that the Devil focuses his attack on our weaker points. Since our minds are Satan's battlefield, his tactics will be directed toward our thinking. He sends arrows of doubt, fear, and temptation to penetrate our thoughts. He shoots flaming missiles—false ideas about God, erroneous doctrine, and unbiblical philosophies—to lead us away from truth and to thwart God's purposes for us. If we allow these arrows to infiltrate our thinking, we will give Satan a strong foothold inside our minds from which he can harass and defeat us. (Ephesians 4:27) One of the Enemy's strategies is to instill fear in us. Most of us have apprehensions about certain things, and if the Devil discovers what they are, he will send arrow after arrow of trepidation into our minds. He wants us to develop thought patterns of fear whenever those subjects come up. Another tactic is jealousy. Satan wants us to react automatically to situations by noticing what others have and thinking we deserve it instead. If we have this perspective, we will often act without regard to what God says. How can you defend yourself? With God's help, identify your weak areas and begin to strengthen them through His Word. Remember: the fiery missiles of Satan can be thoroughly extinguished by a heavy dose of God's truth. With Christ, we will overcome! URL:http://www.intouch.org/myintouch/devotional/index_76096.html
