One might ask this very question. How can I defeat the devil? Well you alone can’t, but you and God can. Remember the Devil is always lurking around, seeking and seizing every opportunity to ruin your witness and bring you down to his level. Will you allow him to succeed? I can assure you he has no love for you and he is not concerned with your health and welfare. His #1 goal is to get you out of God’s hand and into the pits of fire for all eternity.
The devil wants to throw us off track, but there is good news. We as Christians do not have to listen to the devil, we do not have to do what he says, and we do not have to allow him to bring us down. So let’s defeat the devil together with God shall we?
1. We have to THINK the right thoughts. Phil 4:8
2. We have to DO the things that are right. Phil 4:9/Heb 13:20
3. We have to HEAR the right sounds, like music, songs, words, prayers.
4. We have to SAY the right words. Matt 12:33-37
5. We have to GO to the right places like church. Psalm 122:2
“I can do all things thru Christ who strengthens me.” This includes taking out the Devil. Don’t give him the upper hand in your life. Push him aside and follow God’s lead.
Father, I know I am a sinner, I know that I have let the devil control my life and lead me down roads I should not have been on. Father, I ask that you will please help me to defeat the devil and follow your lead instead. Help me to think the right thought, do the right things, hear the right sounds, say the right things and go to the right places. Lord, please guide me to be the best witness I can be and plant lots of solid seeds that will grow for you as well. Thank you, Lord for saving me. In Jesus name I pray, Amen!!
