A game of darts is generally contested between two players, who take turns. Engaging one another, you are competing to attain a position in power. A dart only scores if its point is embedded in or is touching the playing surface. Depending on what section the dart lands on, you can earn triple points gaining advantage over your opponent. Have you ever heard players get excited over hitting the bullseye? This is the very center of the target earning you 50 points for every hit. The final dart must land in either the bullseye or a double segment in order to win the game.
Do you know the enemy has placed a target on the backs of God’s Chosen people? From the Jews to the Gentiles, if you are Chosen, the enemy is out for the kill. He’s trying to end the game once and for all but here’s the good news... It takes two players to play the game. Yes, the enemy is throwing his fiery darts scoring major points on the people of God but it’s not over!
We have the Spirit of God the dwells within us. We don’t have to let the enemy score bullseye in this final hour. What is the goal between the two players? To attain a “position” in power. The enemy is trying to knock you off your post {the place God Himself has placed you on} to remove you from your position and power in Christ Jesus. This is the battle! He wants to make sure you do not go forth to fulfill your destiny in Christ. He’s hitting you on all sides, shooting arrows of lethargy, deception, confusion, distraction, sickness, disease, and so much more but we have to stand and fight! We have to regroup and gain our strength back in the Lord.
Isaiah 40:29
He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.
We have to shake off the fiery darts and stand in a new boldness against the enemy. We have to live in the revelation that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. We have to shut off the voice of the enemy that would try to lead us astray and most importantly, we have to stand strong in the faith believing God is for us and not against us. The hour is late, what are we going to do? It’s time for us to put on the full armor of God and fight with all that we have to finish this race.
Ephesians 6:10-11
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.
