Bible Question:
Thanks for the reply! So, the devil can actually "enter into" us, take complete control of us, against our will? He can fill our hearts and cause us to sin? I'd hate to think this was the case, but it is Scriptural, isn't it? --Cheryl |
Bible Answer: One's own will is incapable of dealing with evil But through the power of Christ we can rebuke Satan and he will flee from us. (Eph 6:11 NASB) Put on the full armor of God, that you may be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. (James 4:7 NASB) Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. (1 Pet 5:8 NASB) Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Christ has that power and we must use his power and then Satan can be dealt with. |
