"When The Enemy Comes In Like A Flood, The Spirit Of God Will Raise A Standard Against Him"

Sometimes living for the Lord is a real battle & a real fight. But the Devil can't lay a claw or a fang on you, he can't inundate you or drown you with his lies if you resist him with the Word of God! The Bible is God's standard, like a banner or flag that we can wave in front of the Devil's sharp pointed nose, & he will flee!--He can't take the Word! (Jam.4:7)

When the Devil tempts you, what's the first thing to do?--Ask the Lord for a Scriptural answer! That's what Jesus did! When the Devil tempted Him & lied to Him, He just quoted the Scriptures! Of course, the Devil also tried quoting Scripture to Jesus, but he twisted them & took them out of context. So the Lord just fired Scriptures back at him the way they should have been applied, "It is written!" (Lk.4:1-13)--And the Devil fled! He can't resist the Word!

The best way to stop an attack is to counter-attack! The best defense is an offense! Wage a militant warfare against the Enemy! Baptize yourself constantly in prayer, soak yourself in the Word, memorize & quote God's Promises!--Even to the Devil, as well as to yourself! You can put the Enemy out of action with the Word!--Bury him in a flood of the Truth!
