THE RIGHT WAY TO HANDLE THE DEVIL

LUKE 4:3-4, MARK 5:2, 8 And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. *And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, *…he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.

The right way to handle the devil is the same way Jesus handled him. Cast him out! Declare the word of God to him.

In MATTHEW 10:7-8, Jesus said, “And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.” Jesus has freely given you the power and authority He has over the devil. Please make use of it. In Mark 16:17a, Jesus said, “And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils…” Don’t be afraid of the devil, or what he can do to you. Exercise the victory and authority of Christ over him. Don’t fall for the devil’s tricks and lies, stand on the truth of the victory of Christ lover him, (Eph.6:10-11).

The greatest thing the devil is after is the only thing you can use to overcome him – your faith. “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you,” (James 4:7). Submit yourself to the truth of what God has said about you in Christ. “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith..,” (1Pet. 5:8-9a). Keep your faith in Christ. “Be alert, stand firm in the faith, be brave, be strong,” (1 Cor.16:13, GNB).

ACTION POINT:

THANK GOD FOR THE GREAT POWER AND VICTORY HE HAS GIVEN YOU OVER THE DEVIL. DECLARE GOD’S WORD OVER YOUR LIFE.
