Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will
flee from you. James 4:7
Our
response to the devil should be nothing.
We should have no interaction with Satan. That’s God’s job. We should resist the temptations, then turn
and walk away. No little conversations
with his voice in our heads. No
negotiations. Nothing.
Many
want to get up in his face and tell him off.
You had better have the Holy Spirit inside you when you do through your
total submission to God. But there’s
really no need to engage with the devil.
He’s a dangerous tempter and has caused the greatest leaders to fall.
Resist
and walk away. If we ignore him then he
will have nothing to do with us.
