HOW TO FIGHT
Jesus said in Mark 3:27 that you cannot enter a strong man's house and spoil his goods except you first bind the strong man.
The first thing is to bind the strong man, that is, the devil and his demons and all their activities, in an area or a home. You bind him using your mouth, through your confessions.
Peter says that we resist him steadfast in the faith. 1Pet 5:9. You have to resist the enemy in Jesus name. Don't just accept anything that comes, many things that comes in our lives are the works of satan. Many failures and sickness are part demonic manipulations.
Don't embrace them but resist them.
Resist him in faith; not in fear; believing and trusting God's promises and proclaiming them.For lack of knowledge, many embrace in their lives what they should resist. You have a responsibility of using your weapons to fight the enemy.
James 4:7 tells us to submit to God, then resist the devil and he will flee from us. Humility before God gives us authority over the devil, that he will no walk away, or run away, but rather, flee for his life.
You have to be a humble person if you are to successfully wage war against the enemy.
The sons of sceva went to cast demons and they demons didn't listen to them. Instead, they were beaten and fled away naked for trying to cast out a demon. They didn't live in fellowship with God and they tried to do what they had seen Paul do. Act ,19:13-16
This shows the danger of trying to fight satan when you have no relationship with God. When you are proud of when you are living in sin. Don't try to fight satan if you are indulging in sin, if you are proud of you have not submitted to God fully or not obeyed what God has told to you.
You will only bring destruction upon yourself.
Jesus overcame satan by stating what was written in God word. Mathew 4:1-10. We have to proclaim the word of God.
In our fight, the part of our body we use most is our tongue. In the day of Pentecost, a tongue of fire sat upon everyone in the house. This is to say that our tongues must be on fire.
Isaiah 51:16 says that God has put his word on our mouth to plant the heavens. Through our mouth, God is able to create a heavenly atmosphere wherever we are. Jesus often said, peace be with you. Peace and joy are part of the heavenly atmosphere. Rom 14:17. God wants to use our mouth. He will not take it part time or in a contract. It has to be used by him everyday.
The devil cannot use your tongue in speaking lies, and evil and cursing and blasphemy, and slander and gossip, and then you try to use the same tongue to resist him. he will laugh at you because you are powerless against him.
If you give your tongue to satan in weekdays and then try to preach to others on Sunday, God will not use your tongue to bless others. There will be no anointing in your words. You must live a consecrated life, a holy life if God is to anoint you to speak on His behalf.
Ephesians 6:10-18 tells us that we do not fight against human beings. If you want to fight the devil, you must decide that you will never fight with any human being. You will never argue or try to prove a point, you will not strive, you will reserve 100% of your energy to only fight the devil.
2Cor 10:4-7 tells us that satan attacks us in our thoughts and we must learn to reject every thought that satan whispers to us. We must leave to reject and resist anything that is not of God. Don't embrace situations and say that things never work for me, or such things. You must learn to declare that with God, all things are possible and that God is on your side against the devil.
The devil is always seeking to control and manipulate us. Know that THE PLACE GOD HAS APPOINTED FOR THE DEVIL IS UNDER YOUR FEET. Rom 16:20
You are blessed to be a blessing
