Who's afraid of the devil?
Raise your hand.
Why? Why are you afraid of the devil?
Don't you know what the bible says about you? Don't you know who you are? Don't you know the God you serve?
Why are you afraid of the devil??
You don't have to be afraid of him. You just have to know how to fight him.
The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:4).
We can't fight the enemy with fists and bats. We can't fight him with tears or complaints. We can't defeat him with lofty, meaningless words.
We can only defeat the devil with the word of God!
God says that we are being too passive in the way we deal with the enemy. We deal with him as if we are afraid of him. We speak quietly and act timid and cower away from his opposition.
But, we are at war! It's time to get up and fight!!
We've forgotten who we are in God and the authority that He has given to us.
The bible says that we have authority over all the power of the enemy (Luke 10:19). That means that the enemy is POWERLESS! That means that he can do nothing to us unless we let him.
And we're not letting him do ANYTHING! We are no longer being passive and allowing the enemy to get away with his lies and slick tricks! The enemy is DEFEATED!!
James 4:7 tells us that after we have submitted ourselves to God, to resist the devil and he WILL flee from us.
We have to humble ourselves to God's authority and He will strengthen us to walk in our own. And with the whole armor of God, we can withstand the wiles of the devil (Ephesians 6:11).
We can withstand him with our loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and our feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith we shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And we can take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God (Ephesians 6:14-17).
It is with the word of God that the enemy is defeated. It is with the word of God that we are overcomers!
Speak the word of God over the devil and he has got to flee from you!
Stand in your position of authority! Walk in it! And demand the enemy take his place beneath your feet!
We are at war, brothers and sisters! Let's get up and FIGHT!!
