RESIST  THE  DEVIL

James 4:7

By Rev. Dean Beaty   4/8/08

“Resist the devil, and he will flee.”

This is important for victory.

When Satan tempts, don’t just give in.

Fight against him if you would win.

Satan is strong, of that there’s no doubt.

And he is sly, we had better watch out.

He’s able to deceive with his great power.

He’s called a lion and some he’ll devour.

Omnipotent?  No! not in the least.

That’s only Christ and He’s our high priest.

Victory comes through Jesus alone.

He conquered death and sits by God’s throne.

Put on the armor of God for each day.

This is the means to chase Satan away.

The Sword of the Spirit is God’s written Word.

With it you’ll win the Lord has assured.

God’s written word is like atom bombs.

Christ fought temptation quoting the Psalms.

But it must be hid deep in the heart.

Memorize scripture, that’s where you start.
