The last few days I've had rolling over in my mind the phrase, "Quench the fiery darts" You'll find the phrase in Eph 6: 16
"Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked."
Many times we focus on the idea of darts being shot us at from the devil but he never said they were just darts but fiery ones and for the reason he even added on that we're to quench them says something interesting. What he brings our way is meant to INFLAME US! So how does one know they're being inflamed? I'd say by how much we talk or mediate in a worrisome way on what's occurred. If we spend hours upon hours not actually finding out and applying what God's word says about whatever into our lives to bring victory and freedom., I'd say we've been inflamed! The devil has a foothold. We shouldn't let him have it.
First sign of a dart and I've mentioned they're on fire jump on it immediately with the word of God! Don't wait. Don't delay! A little fire, just a small one started in a building can envelop a whole structure in just a short time. If I was like a military's sergeant training soldiers and to some who would allow me to be such I would be screaming at the young soldiers.... "Quench it, quench it, quench it!! Move, move, move, move, move and do it now " A military trainer isn't acting this way with soldiers to be mean. He's trying to save their lives and there's just somethings one has to take seriously. Jesus did this. He'd state and I'm sure rather boldly to the devil, "It is written, it is written, it is written! (see Matt 4) every time and all the time he'd even dare to show up on the scene.
We need to do likewise and realize we have the mind of Christ 1 COR 2:16 that is if we're renewing our minds with his word. Rom 12:1,2 I'm not saying one doesn't have to assess a problem and develop a plan but if one is allowing oneself to be at their wits end and have their life agitated with no end well...you've been inflamed. How do we quench the devil's fiery darts? With the shield of faith which is faith in the word of God! ! No matter how big our problem God has a promise that can cover it even if its casting all our cares, worries and concerns upon Christ for he cares for us. Once we do that we thank him in love that he's got the problem and is working it out. In closing 1 Pt 5:8 says to be sober and vigilant when it comes with dealing with the devil. Vigilant means realize this isn't play time! Certain things need and must be done with some good force and determination if we're to have hope of being more than conquerors in Christ. Rom 8:31 Let's be that shall we today or at least endeavor to be by giving it everything we've got! How about it?
