Shooting Blanks - Rest as a Weapon

Have you ever considered the possibility that our adversaries are shooting blanks when they attack us? What if when we believe their lie, we re-arm the lie making it a damaging weapon? But Jesus “disarmed” the enemy.
(“Then Jesus made a public spectacle of all the powers and principalities of darkness, stripping away from them every weapon and all their spiritual authority and power to accuse us. And by the power of the cross, Jesus led them around as prisoners in a procession of triumph. He was not their prisoner; they were his! Colossians 2:15 TPT”)
I asked the Holy Spirit about this one day. Obviously, the enemy is doing damage on the Earth. How could he be disarmed? Then this thought came to my mind: “He is shooting blanks.”
Let’s consider the next time the enemy shoots an arrow of fear at us, we choose trust instead! Or a grenade of doubt is thrown in our mind and we choose confidence instead!
Better yet, what if when we rest in what Jesus did, that becomes our weapon against the enemy? Is there a lie you have re-armed that Jesus has disarmed? When you feel under fire, remember, they are blanks. Look at Jesus instead.
