Matthew 4:4
He [Jesus] answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word
that proceeds from the mouth of God.
When the devil tempted Jesus, Jesus turned the Word of God on him, saying, It is writtenIt is
writtenIt is written (Matthew 4:4, 7, 10)

Likewise, should the devil remind you of the pain in your body, say what Gods Word says: It is
written, By His stripes I am healed! (Isaiah 53:5; 1 Peter 2:24) And tell Daddy God, I have Your
Word for it and I am standing on Your Word. I am not trying to be healed. My healing has already
happened. I dont care what this body says. It has to line up with Your Word because by Jesus stripes I
am healed!

And if the devil says to you, Look at the meager balance in your bank account. How are you going to
pay your bills? just say, I'm not going to worry because I know that my God shall supply all my
needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:19) It doesnt matter how much I
have in the bank. Gods Word tells me that as the need arises, the supply will be there!

When fear grips you, dont say to yourself, This fear is stupid. Come on, what are the chances of it
happening to me? Dont try to rationalize or reason your fear away. Instead, speak Gods Word into
the situation. Say, It is written, For God has not given me a spirit of fear, but of power and of love
and of a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:7) What if the fear returns? Speak Gods Word again. Say, It is
written, For God has not given me a spirit of fear

When the devil tries to deceive you, give him the Word of God. There is something about the Word of
God that causes him not to want to hang around those who use it. It reminds him of Jesus, the Word
made flesh (John 1:14), who rendered him powerless and of no effect when He said, It is written

Thought For The Day

Turn the Word of God on the devil when he comes to tempt you. You will render him of no effect!
