Dear Friend,

I want to encourage you this week to resist the devil and cement yourself into God.  Put yourself under God’s authority, no matter how the devil is trying to attack you right now. You are in right standing with God because of Jesus, so all the devil tries to do to you will fall to the ground.

When God is with you, it is impossible for anyone to be against you. 
If God is for us, who can ever be against us?
Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one—for God himself has given us right standing with himself.
Romans 8:31a,33 (NLT)

When you know the power of Almighty God, you never need be afraid of any weapon formed against you. 

No weapon formed against you will prosper.  Every tongue that rises up against you in judgment shall show to be in the wrong.
Isaiah 54:17

There's nothing in this world more important than the Word of God.  According to the Bible, everything in this world is going to pass away except His Word, because God’s power is in His Word. When we speak God’s Word, it not only helps us resist the devil, but it becomes a sword against him!

In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil.
Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
Ephesians 6:16,17 (NLT)

Speak the Word of God and believe the Word of God and the devil will run away from you!

Hallelujah!
