James 4:7 is our mandate. It says, “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” 1 Peter 5:9 says, “Resist him, steadfast in the faith…”

1 Corinthians 10:13 says, “No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.”

One of satan’s strategic weapons is to plant doubts. Why? They bring instability. James 1:5 says that when we need wisdom we can ask the Lord. Verse 6 says, “But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven by the wind.”

The Greek word for doubting means a conflict within oneself, in the sense of hesitating, having misgivings, being divided in decision making, or wavering between hope and fear. When doubts come into your mind ~ rehearse truth. Read Psalm 77. Asaph doubted. Then he recalled truths about the Lord.
