Defeating
the Devil is Possible!
By
Ben Bailey
The
Bible clearly teaches that the Devil is a serious adversary who
desires to devour our soul. The Apostle Peter said, “Be
sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like
a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Peter 5:8).
While the devil is a fearful foe, the good news is we can and must
defeat the Devil. Here are three ways we can defeat Satan.
Resist
the Devil.
“Resist
him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are
experienced by your brotherhood in the world”
(1 Peter 5:9). The encouragement Peter gives to suffering
Christians is that they can resist the adversary. Although the
devil is a fearful foe, you can defeat him!
Realize
his Tactics.
The devil has many tricks up his sleeve to use against the
Christian. Satan is characterized as a wiley and conniving
creature (1 Tim. 3:7, Eph. 6:10-11). Satan has a large arsenal
of weapons including worldliness, lust, defeat, and even self.
But, if we will study the nature and tactics of Satan it will help us
defeat him.
Read
the Bible.
At the temptation of Jesus, He overcame Satan by saying three times,
“It is written” (Matt. 4). Jesus was so well versed in the
Bible that it was His primary defense against the devil, and it
worked. Today, if we are going to overcome Satan we must know
the Word of God. The Psalmist said, “Your word I have hidden
in my heart that I might not sin against You” (Psalm 119:9-11).
God
has given us the ability to defeat Satan. We have to arm
ourselves for battle and vehemently fight the foe every day.
May God help us to truly overcome the enemy (Rev. 2:10).
