FIGHTING THE DEVIL
Praise Power
The best defense is an offense, and if you really want to get the devil on the run, just start praising the Lord! Count your blessings and thank and praise Jesus for all, which He has done for you! The power of positive praise is just terrific and really puts the devil on the run! Chase the devil and his darkness away by simply letting the Light in! The enemy hates songs of prayer and praise to Jesus. The devil especially hates our positive, active service for the Lord! So don’t just sit there, do something positive! Resist, defy and attack the enemy by taking positive action and doing something good! Go on the attack and THINK positively, TALK positively, SING positively, PRAY positively and ACT positively!
Sock It To Him With The Word
When the enemy is attacking you, don’t just stand there and take it. Hit him back!!! Quote scriptures and sock it to him with the Word! That’s the way JESUS fought back when the devil tempted and lied to Him! He just quoted Scriptures: “It is written!” He fought him with the Word! (Matthew 4:1-11) When it comes to fighting the devil, God’s Words are almost like spiritual bullets or death rays, and they just blast him! Every word absolutely zaps him! In the Bible’s description of a Christian soldier’s armor, the one offensive weapon described is “the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God!" Ephesians 6:17) In fact, it is “quick (alive) and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword!" Hebrews 4:12) The Word is the most powerful thing you can use! The enemy can’t take the Word! He’ll turn tail and run! So the next time he raises his ugly head and tries to tempt, hinder or slow you down, pull out the white-hot sword of the Spirit, the Word of God, and cut the devil to the heart.
