Rebuking the Enemy with Faith and Scripture
1. Ephesians 6:12:ย "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places." Acknowledge the spiritual nature of the battle.
2. James 4:7:ย "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." Surrender to God's authority and resist the enemy.
3. 1 Peter 5:8-9:ย "Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world." Stay vigilant and resolute in your faith.
4. 2 Corinthians 10:4-5:ย "For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ." Use the spiritual weapons at your disposal.
