Quotes about Resistance

The primary means Satan employs to put volume to his accusing voice is by using no small list of willing humans. We are by nature a merciless, condemning lot.

This is why you must take up the full armor of God, so that you may be able to resist in the evil day. Ephesians 6:13

We've been called to share Jesus with the lost and give our testimonies anytime we have the opportunity to tell another person of our hope. We've been called to pray. We've been called to disciple others, teaching God's Word and ways. We've been called to resist the devil as Christ did, with the spoken Word of God. We've even been called to speak to some mountains and tell them to move!

When we respond to attacks of doubt, distortion, and deceit with the truth of God's Word, the fiery dart is extinguished and the enemy takes another hit.
