JAMES 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Most Christians assume God to dominate over the enemy, but God has given you that authority.
EPHESIANS 4:27 Neither give place to the devil.
If you lose control over the situation, would God advise you to forbid the demon from having any place? If the devil is involved in your business, it is because you have given him permission.
If you let the demon rule, he will.
Jesus achieved triumph. In legal terms, it is yours.
The devil, however, is a lawbreaker who won't follow the rules unless compelled to. The devil will automatically assume control of the circumstances in life unless you enhance Jesus' victory and Lordship.
No person can stand up to the demon alone. As a result, you are incapable to battle him by your own.
You do not have greater strength than the devil, however you do possess greater power as a follower of Jesus Christ,
Believers have the support of God and His forces when resisting the devil in the name of Jesus, just as a police officer in uniform has the support of the full government and its forces.
God wants you to use the power He has given you to withstand the devil. Things won't go well with your life if you disregard God and don't use it.
It's the same as my son requesting me to throw the garbage after I required him to do it when I ask God to stop the devil from doing his work.
God advised us to battle the devil so that he would escape. God's Word must be accepted and followed.
SAY THIS: I will battle the devil and he will run away from me.
