"For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me." John 17:8
When challenged by the prince of darkness, Jesus relied on the written Word of God.
He made full use of it. It was an effective weapon in his hands. Why? He was a man of prayer, well acquainted with the Scriptures, fully submitted to God and filled with the Spirit.
His teaching of the written Word and the spoken, revealed will of the Father was his gift to his disciples. If they were to make as good a use of the Word as Jesus did, they would also need to be men of prayer, well acquainted with the scriptures, fully submitted to God and filled with the Spirit.
Remember: Jesus has given you the Word to use as an effective weapon against all evil. Use it today!
Prayer: Father, give me scriptural words today that will be effective against the enemy. In Jesus Name. Amen.
