Resist the Devil

Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. James 4:7.
                          When we are submissive to God, we can easily resist the devil and he will flee from us.  The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life and have it abundantly - John 10:10. The thief always comes to steal, kill and destroy our peace of mind. But God came to give us an abundant life
                   The son of God appeared to destroy the works of the devil- 1 John 3:8. Satan was defeated by Christ on the cross and so our task is to live in victory. When Jesus was tempted by Satan, He resisted Satan by the word of God. We conquer him by the blood of the lamb and by the word of our testimony – Revelation 12:11. We can resist devil by the word of God and by the blood of Christ.
                       The enemy comes in like a roaring lion and a flood. But God has given us the power over all the power of the enemy. So nothing by shall any means can harm us. Be sober and vigilant because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour – I Peter 5:8. When the enemy comes in like a flood, the spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him – Isaiah 59:19. Let us draw near to God and submit ourselves to God.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, We submit ourselves to Your loving hand. Help us to resist the devil by Your word. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
