[0:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=2) His response will leave you speechless. Watch this. [0:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=5) Spiritual warfare for the believer. The enemy's not after money. [0:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=9) He's not after this podcast. He's not after your ministry. [0:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=11) He's not after your blessings. He's not after your marriage. [0:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=13) He's not after your children. Everybody, "Oh, he's after it." No, he's not. [0:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=16) The enemy is after your fellowship with God. [0:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=18) Because if he can get you out of fellowship with God, you'll destroy yourself. [0:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=21) You'll destroy your marriage. You'll destroy your children. [0:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=23) You'll destroy the ministry. You'll destroy your life. [0:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=26) All he has to do is get you out of fellowship. [0:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=27) Let's take the focus off the devil. He lost. [0:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=29) He's already a defeated foe. Victory has already been won. [0:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=32) Put your armor on. To do what? Resist the devil. [0:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=34) Every single piece of this, uh, the armor of God is a defensive piece of armor, except one thing. [0:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=41) It's the sword of the Spirit, the only offensive weapon. [0:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=44) We know the sword is the Word of God. The shield of faith. [0:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=46) Your faith is a defensive measure. Back in the day, the scripture talks about these fiery darts of the enemy. [0:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=51) They didn't have these fancy shields just yet. [0:54](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=54) Some of their shields were wood, and they would take these arrows, right? [0:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=56) And they would dip their arrows in fire, and they would shoot these fiery darts at the soldiers. [1:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=61) The soldiers would pick their shields up. [1:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=63) That first fiery dart was not sent to kill them. [1:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=66) It was made to put their guard down because the shield would get burned up by the fiery dart, and then that next round of arrows was sent to kill you. [1:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=74) So the soldiers learned that they, they needed to dip their shields in water. [1:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=78) They soaked their shields with water, and we know we are washed by the water of the Word. [1:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=83) So the Word of God is what's going to keep us. [1:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=86) But as they dipped their shields in water and lifted it back up, when they shot the fiery darts, the darts were quenched. [1:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=92) It made them be able to keep their shields up. [1:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=94) We'll resist the enemy. We know fiery darts are the thoughts. [1:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=97) "Don't spend time with God. That's spiritual warfare. You're too busy. [1:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=100) You don't have time to spend time with God. [1:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=101) That's spiritual warfare." He does not want us in fellowship, you see? [1:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=105) So I would tell that person, fight for your fellowship. [1:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=107) The next time the enemy tries to get you to stop spending time with God, remember you're under attack. [1:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=111) God enjoys fellowship. It is our safety. It is our home. [1:54](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=114) It is our reward. It is His presence. The promised land is His presence. [1:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=117) We're going to be with Him forever. It is the reward. [2:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=120) It's where we find our peace. It's where we find revelation. [2:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=124) It's where we find our advantage. It's where we find our rest. [2:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=127) It's His presence. Fight for your fellowship with God, and you take it, take it as a threat when anything or anyone comes in between your relationship and your fellowship with God. [2:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=136) There's an important truth in this message that we should take seriously. [2:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=140) Our fellowship with God must be protected. [2:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=143) James 4:7 tells us to submit ourselves to God. [2:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=146) Resist the devil, and he will flee from us. [2:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=148) And Ephesians 6:16 tells us to take up the shield of faith with which we can extinguish all the fiery darts of the wicked one. [2:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=154) They can include temptations, accusations, doubts, and thoughts that challenge our trust in God. [2:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=160) We must believe God's Word, obey it. So when distractions, temptations, and the cares of this world begin pulling you away from God, don't take your relationship with Him lightly. [2:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=169) Make time for prayer. Remain in His Word. [2:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=171) Walk in obedience, because our greatest priority isn't simply avoiding the enemy's attacks. [2:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9wSirT15eKQH/en/spiritual-warfare-protecting-your-fellowship-with-god?t=176) It's remaining faithful to God.
