Satan is such a stubborn foe and must be resisted in everywhere possible. The Bible says; if we resist him, he will flee. We shall look into some ways to resist him or put him off.
1. Speak the Word of God in truth .
John 1:5, “And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.”
2. Be courageous
Deuteronomy 31:6 “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”
3. Pray Constantly.
“Prayer is a shelter to the soul, a sacrifice to God and a scourge to the devil.” So pray and pray constantly. Tell God of your own inability to detect and respond to temptation; tell him that you are utterly dependent upon his grace; tell God that Christ’s blood has been applied to you; tell God that you are his child; ask God to deliver you from temptation for the glory of his name.
4. The Blood of Jesus
Revelations 12:11, “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.”
5. Bear the fruit of the Spirit
Galatians 5:22, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23:Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
These and many more ways are available for us to put away and frustrate the works and incursions of Satan in our lives.
