The Devil — Part 2
“Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the Devil … and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God”
(Ephesians 6:11, 17).
Use the “sword of the Spirit.” As we noted yesterday, that is what the Lord did, and that is what we are to do as well. This is why it is so important to read the Bible, memorize portions of Scripture, and spend time studying and meditating. Then when the enemy comes you will have something ready to use against him. Of course we need prayer too.
Everything has been provided so that we can meet the enemy in the power and strength of the Lord Jesus Christ, the One who is all powerful. Taking up and using the armor of God is really making use of the resources we have in Himself. Go out to school or work today remembering that we don’t have to meet the enemy in our own strength. If you try it you will be soundly defeated, but if you meet the enemy in the strength of the Lord, you will be victorious … a true overcomer. Remember, “Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4).
