Protection From Evil The Lord said inEphesians 6:16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with, which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Satan has a will for you. Satan has an agenda for you. Satan has a list of things for you to do. In our life, we live in a soup of good and evil where we sometimes find difficulty in discerning the will of God. In the mix of this soup of good and evil, we find we have our own will easily influenced by the flaming temptations Satan hurls at us. When we lack faith, when we try to do everything on our own using our own resources, we run out of our own resources and eventually we get burned. God will help protect us from evil but this does not mean evil will go away. We live in a constant battle of forces. Our own will tries to get us to do what we want to do, while God tries to get us to do what God wants us to do, while Satan tries to get us to do what Satan wants us to do. In the middle of this spiritual war in which we are involuntarily immersed, Satan is shooting at us. Sometimes Satan wounds us and hurts us. Sometimes Satan makes us sick, gives us diseases, causes war, famine, and plague. However, as bad as all this sounds on the surface, the great news is we can all win. We can all achieve sweet victory. For when we choose to accept Christ into our heart, His legions of angels stand next to us, fight with us, intervene for us, shield us, and protect us. Even when we do not win as the world would want us to win, we are the victors in Christ Jesus. Pastor Rubin Wilson
