“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness” Ephesians 6:12

In the Book of Ephesians, the author, Paul, reminds us that there is a very real enemy among us. Call him the Devil, Satan, or Lucifer, he has one objective and that is to leave your life in ruins. He will steal, kill and destroy anything and everything in your life that he can get his hands on, be that your health, your attitude, your finances, your relationships, and especially your faith in God. What you need to realize is that you possess the perfect defense.

Simply Speak The Name of Jesus.

There is a story in the New Testament about a demon possessed man. When Jesus approached, the demons inside this man were suddenly terrified. They knew they were powerless against Jesus. Let that story illustrate for you your defense against your true enemy. Each day and every day, speak the name of Jesus. “Jesus you are my rock, you are my fortress, you are my deliverer. Jesus, I speak your name for you are all I need.” There’s an old gospel hymn that sums it all up by saying, “victory is mine, victory today is mine. I told ol’ satan, get thee behind, because victory today is mine”.
