strong arm of Jehovah; for all these great signs and mighty wonders of
the devil are designed to deceive God’s people and overthrow them.
Our minds must be stayed upon God, and we must not fear the fear
of the wicked, that is, fear what they fear, and reverence what they
reverence, but be bold and valiant for the truth. Could our eyes be
opened, we should see forms of evil angels around us, trying to invent
some new way to annoy and destroy us. And we should also see angels
of God guarding us from their power; for God’s watchful eye is ever
over Israel for good, and He will protect and save His people, if they
put their trust in Him. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the
Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.
Said the angel, “Remember, thou art on the enchanted ground.” I
saw that we must watch and have on the whole armor, and take the
shield of faith, and then we shall be able to stand, and the fiery darts
of the wicked cannot harm us.
