Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Therefore, with these facts in mind it’ll be of critical importance that we take a good look at the warning given us in the book of Ephesians, and the counsel given, so as to run the Christian race with a steady, and even tread, without burning out along the way. Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

The reason why it has now become necessary for us to take a hard look at the previous passages is that in many instances, people may not be aware of the currencies in which devils deal. And as a result, some may not recognize temptation as being temptation, as invisible foes ramp up their efforts to cause many to turn back. When the Bible makes mention of Wiles, Devices, Snares and Fiery darts, it is referencing the currencies in which devils deal.

Ephesians 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Ephesians 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

Forward Ever, Backward Never. Part [4] 12/11/2025 (Evening thought)

Job 4:1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said; 7 Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off?

This conclusion of Eliphaz is often greatly flawed, for even though there are laws of sowing, and reaping, it is not always the case that adverse circumstances are in every situation, preceded by wrong doing. Thus, the devil, through Eliphaz was attempting to discourage Job into turning back, for, if after being faithful for so many years you come and lose most of that which was near, and dear to you, in quick succession, that should be a valid reason for Job to throw in the towel, and turn his back on God.

That is according to the diabolical mode of thought being pushed by the invisible forces of darkness. It is funny how the same sentiment was echoed by the wife of Job, who succumbed to the doctrine of devils on this point, and so, became the mouthpiece to give audible voice to satan’s unspoken thought in his efforts to get Job to turn back. Job 2: 9 Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.

Thus, on the one hand, you have Christ who would stop at nothing to save any person who so desires, and on the other hand you have the devil, and his minions, who will stop at nothing to prevent folks from moving forward, and being saved in God’s kingdom…. Job 4:8 Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.

Job 4:9 By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
