(Eph 6:16) “Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.” Satan does attack the Children of God. His desire is to keep them from growing in Him. God’s children begin their walk still influenced strongly by their previous life lived only in the flesh. Now, they begin a walk in the spirit with the need to reprogram their thinking. While they remain babes they are subject to Satan’s attack, for they react as those still ruled by love for self – the flesh. Faith and only faith in God as revealed in His Word gives us victory over those attacks (1 Jn 5:4).
