Be
sober and vigilant because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring
lion, seeking whom he may devour. Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will
flee from you.Resist him, knowing that the
same suffering is being experienced by your brethren who are in the world. God canceled the record that contained the
charges against us. He took it and destroyed it by nailing it to Christ's cross.
In this way, God disarmed the evil rulers and authorities. He shamed them
publicly by His victory over them on the cross of Christ. The God of peace will
crush Satan under your feet shortly. The devil . . . was cast into the lake of
fire and brimstone. . . and will be tormented day and night forever and
ever.
(1
Peter 5:8, James 4:7, Colossians 2:14-15, Romans 16:20, Revelation 20:10.)
God's truth gives discernment that exposes Satan's
deception.
Father, thank You that as I abide in Your word, the
Truth will keep me from being deceived.
