Lord, I thank you for suffering and dying on the cross for me, and for rising again to defeat the devil and hell. My enemy is defeated because of what You have done. Thank you that You have given me all authority over him (Luke 10:19). By the power of Your Holy Spirit I can successfully resist the devil and he must flee from me (James 4:7). Show me when I am not recognizing the encroachment of the enemy in my life. Teach me to use the authority You have given me to see him defeated in every area.
Reveal to me any place in my life where I am walking in disobedience. If I have given the enemy a place in my protective armor through which he can secure a hook, show me so I can rectify it. Gird me with strong faith in You and Your Word. Help me to fast and pray regularly in order to break any strongholds the enemy is trying to erect in my life.
Lord, I know that in the midst of the battle I don’t have to be fainthearted. I don’t have to be afraid in the face of the enemy, (Deuteronomy 20:3) Thank You that even though the enemy tries to take me captive to do his will, You have given me the power to escape his snares completely, (2 Timothy 2:26). Thank You that You have delivered me from him, (Psalm 18:17) and You are my shield because I live Your way, (Proverbs 2:7). Help me to “not be overcome by evil”, but instead, give me the strength to “overcome evil with good”, (Romans 12:21). Hide me in the secret place of Your presence from the plots of evil men, (Psalm 31:20). Thank you that I will never be brought down by the enemy as long as I stand strong In you.
God’s promise to You;
The Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one. (2 Thessalonian 3:3)
Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, 18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. (Ephesians 6:13-18)
When the tempest passes, the wicked is no more, but the righteous is established forever, (Proverbs 10:25)
Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil, (Ephesians 6:10-11)
