Timely Tidbits of Truth 65, Resist

Timely Tidbits of Truth 65, Resist
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow
 
This word is a powerful weapon for victory in our warfare against the enemy. It means to take a firm stand against what the enemy wants to do. It is important for us to know that the Devil can be resisted. We do not have to be deceived by his lies or overcome by his temptations.
 
The voice of the tempter may say, “Do it now!” “Get it now!” Be it now!” To resist him means to say “no” to his will and ways, and to say “yes” to God’s will and ways. You can let your faith rise up and declare, “I will wait on God’s time.” “I will do it God’s way.” “I will take my God-given place and be what He wants me to be.”
 
When we resist the tempter we can also declare our devotion to God by saying, “Father, I love You too much to do something that would be displeasing to You.”
 
Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you (James 4:7 NKJV).
 
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same suffering are experienced by your brotherhood in the world (1 Peter 5:8-9 NKJV).
