James 4:7: Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
My beloved sons, who we submit ourselves to is who we allow to influence our lives. But I would have you to notice that we are not instructed to fight the devil, just resist him. So one of the powerful words to overcome the enemy is "NO". Think about it! He was defeated at the cross by Christ so all we have to do is resist him. Jesus showed us how to resist him in Matthew 4. Once again, the devil can NEVER make you do anything. All he can do is set the trap (atmosphere). This is why we must submit ourselves before God. When we do, when a visitation comes from the enemy the light (knowledge) of Christ and our obedience to His Word gives us the ability (grace) to overcome EVERY trap of the enemy. Search all Scriptures especially in the earthly ministry of Jesus and you do not see Jesus "fight" satan or any demon conventionally as we know fighting but by the Word of God does Christ demonstrate to awesome power of the Kingdom over the powers of darkness. My beloved son, submit to the rule of God, be vigilant and clear-minded so that at the appointed time you can resist the devil.
