Seed Devotion: Fight Back!
Scripture NKJV Colossians 1:13," He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed into us the kingdom of the Son of his love."
Just last week there was an 83 year old woman that was attacked in her apartment building in New York City. The person that attacked her was a man that was 50 years her junior. He felt like she would be an easy victim so he physically attacked her, and attempted to rob her. But what he would see next is the fight of a woman who refused to smell defeat. She fought back with all she had! He punched her and she kicked him! They fought to a standstill! I think the man got away, or he may have been caught. It made the Yahoo news! The reporter was amazed at how this woman who was over 80 years old could fight a man so much younger than her to a standstill! The elderly woman was deaf , but she had a great left hook! She was not imtimidated and she told the reporter that if the man ever came back she was going to break his nose!!!!!!!!
WOW!!!
Now we all need to take a lesson from this brave woman when it comes to Satan. See Satan is like a bully in school. A bully picks on kids who they think are frail and weak. The reason the bully does this is because he is truly a coward himself. Most bullies would be afraid if they met their match. Just like a bully, Satan loves to pick on weak and frail Christians. He loves those Christians that straddle the fence, are ignorant of scripture, and do not give their whole hearts to God. These are the Christians that he can take advantage of and whose lives he can make a living hell.
But then when you are a Christian who is strong in your faith, has an intimate relationship with God, and knows who you are in Christ, then the devil starts to get intimidated. He knows that you mean business!
Stop running and fight the devil back! I do not mean with your fists! I am talking about fighting against his tactics with spiritual weapons! Your victory is guaranteed because you are fighting a defeated foe! Read and meditate on Ephesians 6:10-17. Fight back against Satan by standing on the truth! Fight back by walking in righteousness. Fight back by working for peace in the world. Fight back by walking in faith, and believing God for everything. Fight back by working out your salvation everyday with fear and trembling, meaning a healthy admiration and respect for God. And use the Word of God to resist every temptation that Satan throws your way by meditating on it.
That 83 year old woman was not physically stronger than that man! But yet, she stood up to him and put him on the run! You need to do the same to the enemy! Amen!
Heavenly Father,
Your word says to resist the devil and he will flee. As I fight this spiritual war, guide me holy spirit to use all of my spiritual weapons so Satan will always be on the run. Lord , I put Satan under my feet right now. He is defeated and I have the resurrection power of you Lord Jesus working on the inside of me! Hallelujah in Jesus name, Amen!
