Resist the Devil

📖 James 4:7
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

As believers, our Christian journey involves a constant spiritual battle, rather than a physical one. Faith is our most potent weapon against the devil and his schemes, which is why he works tirelessly to undermine it. The devil’s first tactic is to plant seeds of doubt, causing us to question God’s promises. Then, he tries to shift our focus from God to our own desires, urging us to seek gratification outside of God’s commandments.

Jesus exemplified how to resist the devil using the Word of God. When tempted, Jesus stood firm and ultimately gained authority over all realms—heaven, earth, and hell (Matthew 28:18). This demonstrates that steadfast resistance leads to spiritual victory and elevation.

Remember, the devil will flee if we stand firm in our faith.Therefore, In the name of Jesus,begin to resist every fear and temptation steadfastly, and the devil will surely flee. Hallelujah!

◾START-UP PRAYER:
Father, in the Name of Jesus, strengthen my faith to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. Help me to trust in Your promises and use your word as my weapon always in the Name of Jesus.

◾PRAYER FOR A NATION:
AUSTRALIA
Traditionally a Christian nation with freedom of religion, Australia is becoming increasingly secular. While the majority of the population still claims to be Christian, only 10% attend church regularly.The Church is being challenged by a New Age, self-created spirituality, and more people are developing negative attitudes toward the Church.

◾Prayer for the Nation:
Father, in the Name of Jesus, we pray for believers to stand firm on the Truth of the Gospel in combating increased secularization of their culture in the Name of Jesus.

◾Prayer for the Leaders:
Father in the name of Jesus, we ask that you pour out your Spirit upon this nation, and cause the desire of the people to turn to you, in the name of Jesus.

◾Prayer for Israel:
Father, we ask that You comfort and strengthen the nation of Israel in this season, that in the midst of adversity, they may find courage to stand for Your name.

◾Prayer for the Unity of the Church:
Father, in the Name of Jesus, we pray for your wisdom to rest upon us so we know how we ought to answer every man and avoid division amongst us in the Name of Jesus.

◾Prayer for Souls/Revival:
Father, in the Name of Jesus, we pray for the unsaved souls that they will begin to experience the unconditional love of God, drawing them to salvation.
