Finally, be empowered in the Lord and in the might of His strength. Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the stratagems of the devil, For our wrestling is not against blood and flesh but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenlies. Therefore take up the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. - Ephesians 6:10-13. As believers who love the Lord and who are standing for His testimony, we must not be ignorant of the schemes of God’s enemy in his attacks on the church. In order to help educate and inoculate us against such attacks, the co-workers in North America have released a series of articles on ShepherdingWords.com, which expose the stratagems of the devil. Beginning this week, the Living to Him podcast will release narrations of select articles every month in order that we may all be equipped to stand against the enemy's attacks. This first episode is a narration of the article entitled “Preserving Human Life,” originally released on March 23, 2021. Using the Word and the ministries of Witness Lee and Watchman Nee, this article shows us the preciousness of man in God’s purpose and exposes Satan’s strategies in destroying man, which include injecting thoughts into their minds that lead them to despair, mental instability, and even suicide. May the Lord supply us through this speaking and equip us to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
