Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

 "Submit to God [accept and obey His will]; resist the devil [stand firm against him] and he will flee from you." — James 4:7 (AMP)

Yes, Lord—this is the authority You have given us. Not to cower in fear, but to stand in faith. Not to flee from the enemy, but to make him flee from us.

The Scripture That Secures This Victory:

1 Peter 5:8-9 (AMP) — "Be sober [well-balanced and self-disciplined], be alert and cautious at all times. That enemy of yours, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion [fiercely hungry], seeking someone to devour. But resist him, be firm in your faith."

Ephesians 6:10-11 (AMP) — "Be strong in the Lord [draw your strength from Him and be empowered through your union with Him] and in the power of His [boundless] might. Put on the full armor of God [for His precepts are like the splendid armor of a heavily-armed soldier], so that you may be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil."

Luke 10:19 (AMP) — "Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing shall injure you."

A Declaration of Authority:

"Lord Jesus,

I submit myself to You.

I take my stand under Your authority.

I put on the full armor of God—

the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness,

the shoes of the gospel of peace,

the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation,

and the sword of the Spirit—Your Word.

I resist the devil—

every lie, every accusation, every scheme, every attack.

I command him to flee in the name of Jesus.

He has no authority over me.

He has no hold on me.

He has no place in my mind, my body, my home, or my family.

I am not afraid.

I am not defeated.

I am more than a conqueror through Christ who loves me.

Resist the devil—and he will flee from us."
