Overcome the works of the Devil 

Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.

Carissa

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already. Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are from the world; therefore they speak from the world, and the world listens to them. ...

But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought back,

Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people,

And in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest. The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters. In his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength.

Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.

For nothing will be impossible with God.”

James 4: 7

Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death.

For he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one source. That is why he is not ashamed to call them brothers,

If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell.

Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.”

For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.

He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.

No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him, and he cannot keep on sinning because he has been born of God.

What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. ...

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was pregnant and was crying out in birth pains and the agony of giving birth. And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven diadems. His tail swept down a third of the stars of heaven and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she bore her child he might devour it. She gave birth to a male child, one who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron, but her child was caught up to God and to his throne, ...

So that we would not be outwitted by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his designs.

I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”

But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one.
