Bible Note: Hi Journey Me, Lets take for example your loins girded in truth. If you know the truth, you will be prepared against any lies, no matter what they are. It is not required that you study and learn what every lie is that people, or devils, tell. When the bankers train their tellers how to spot counterfeit money, they do not have them handle counterfeit bills, they only handle real bills. Then when the counterfeit comes along, whatever its characturistics, they know its not the real thing, because they know what the real thing is. If you know the truth, it will stand against any lie, whether its one you've heard before or not. Look at the shield of faith. It will quench those fiery darts, no matter what brand, or from what direction. You don't need to learn every type of fiery dart, you just need to believe in God's protection, and lift up that shield! Sometimes God directs people to write books, and sometimes God directs people to read those books. But unless He is directing you to do so, I think your time is much better spent studying the Scriptures. Love in Christ, Mark |
