Live in obedience
-
Stand in Christ
-
Operate in love

Remain spiritually alert
The Devil flees not because of human strength, but because of divine alignment.

1. The Devil Is Not God’s Opposite

“He was a murderer from the beginning… there is no truth in him.”
— John 8:44
Victory is not achieved by obsession with the devil, but by alignment with God.
2. Authority Comes from Position, Not Effort
Jesus never taught believers to wrestle endlessly with demons.
He taught them to:
-
Stand
-
Speak
-
Submit
-
Obey
“I have given you authority…” — Luke 10:19
