DEFEATING THE DEVIL

I READ: Matthew 4:1–11

Today we will learn how we can defeat the devil and his temptation and experience our victory. We will learn directly from the life of Jesus. He is our only perfect example. Every time the devil tempted Jesus He rebuked him by declaring the word of God, “It is written…” The devil continuously tempted Him until He commanded the devil to leave His presence by declaring, “Away with you Satan! For it is written… “Jesus taught us that when we are attacked by the devil we can defeat him by declaring the word of God. Declare the word of God with faith and command the devil to leave our lives. Defeat him boldly for we have received God’s victory. Do not be afraid.

I DECLARE: Revelation 12 : 11a – And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.

I DO: What action will I take today after meditating on the Word of God?

I PRAY: Pray as guided by the Holy Spirit.
