Seven steps to Answered Prayer- Part 1 Continued

Use the Sword of the Spirit Against the Devil

When you get the Word firmly fixed in your heart and mind, you can use it against the devil. When Jesus was tempted by the devil to turn the stones into bread, Jesus just answered with the Word.. He said “It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeded out of the mouth of God.” Matt. 4:4

Then the Bible says Satan took Jesus upon a pinnacle of the temple and tempted Jesus again. Matt. 4:7-11

7 Jesus said unto him, it is written again, thou shall not tempt the Lord thy God.

8 Again, the devil took him into an exceeding high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;

9 And said unto him, all these things will I give thee, if thou will fall down and worship me.

10 Then said Jesus unto him, get behind me Satan for it is written though shall worship the Lord thy God, and him only shall you serve.

11 Then the devil left him and the angles came and ministered unto him.

Jesus did not use a single weapon to defeat the devil on this occasion that the saints of God do not have available to them today. When you are being tempted by the enemy, all you have to do is, “IT IS WRITTEN” and use the Word of God against Satan.

But in order to be able to say that and resist the devil effectively, you have to be armed with the sword of the Spirit, and the Word of God. In other words. You have to hide God’s Word in you heart by meditating on it continually in order for it to work for you. Then you will be able to withstand the attacks of the enemy.
