Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. James 4:7
What is our plan for dealing with the challenges of the devil in our lives? Is it fright, flight, or fight? Looking at the example of Jesus in Matthew four gives us our best insight. Jesus was approached by the devil in the wilderness. Jesus was confidently equipped with the Word of God. He did not run from the devil, nor bow in fear. He used the Word to fight the devil's challenges. He submitted Himself to God, He resisted the devil, and the devil went away. Our time for basis training is "always". When we study the Word of God with a goal of devil resisting, God will equip us for victory too.
