Imagine for a moment if the world we live in did not know of God and did not care to know Him! Actually, it would be safe to say that the world be a real mess! The thought of this brings shivers up my spine and clearly makes me want to worship Him who is known as God, Creator, Master and Savior.

Now that we have set that as a foundation, it seems really important to mention that the enemy of the souls of mankind, has been crafty in his doings! Absolutely in all that he seemingly does in the natural has its place in the supernatural or spiritual realm.  Terms that bring us to reckoning with some of the emotion we feel when we witness the damage that has bruised the lives of those we love.  Have you ever come to reason with why after prayer, you may sense the pressure or oppression of spiritual ridicule? The craftiness of the enemy is employed to condemn and destroy the prayers that you have offered up for others.

Never think for one moment that he is successful in his craftiness! He is caught in the gaze of a Holy God who watches over you day and night. He never slumbers nor sleeps! (Psalm 121). He keeps you from harms way and lights your path with His Word. The Lord also keeps us from the craftiness of the enemy by hedging us in and delivering us out of all our troubles. Even when the enemy comes in like a might rushing water, the Lord raises up a standard (a wall) that cannot be penetrated.

God has prepared for us His own armor to wear and continue in life with. The area of that armor that speaks loudly and clearly is the “Shield of Faith”. This article of protective wear stops the fiery darts of the enemies lies. Faith is soaked with the Word of God. So every dart that hits, is dowsed in the Word and put out!

He may be crafty but he is caught in the trap that is set through promised deliverance, righteous living and committed prayer!
