Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
James 4:7

We are children of the Most High God. Satan has no power or authority over us. He is a liar and the father of lies. He is the master of deception. While he may be all of these things, one thing we too often forget is that he is a defeated enemy. Jesus Christ destroyed all the works of the enemy. It is a done deal. We must submit to the authority of Jesus Christ, and through His name we are able to resist the enemy, when he comes at us with lies, deception, worry, fear, temptation, pride, and gossip. When we submit to God and allow Him to fill us with His love, forgiveness, and mercy, there is certainly no room for the things that our enemy would desire to destroy us with.

Prayer

We come to you today, asking that you forgive us for the times we have allowed the enemy to deceive us, and the times we have listened to his lies. We submit to you today and ask that you strengthen our faith, and fill us with your perfect love, so that it is evident whom we serve. In Jesus name we ask. Amen.
