Tell satan Where To Go

MATTHEW 4:10 NLT 10 "Get out of here, Satan," Jesus told him. "For the Scriptures say, 'You must worship the Lord your God; serve only him.' "

Jesus spoke directly to the devil -- and so must you.

Many Christians think they should pray about the devil and ask God to deliver them from his attacks. But the Bible is clear -- God has given the authority to believers to resist the devil.

You must control the devil, or he will control you!

Unless you exercise the authority delegated to you by Jesus Christ, the devil will wreak havoc in your life, and everywhere he is allowed to.

LUKE 10:19 NKJ 19 "Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Praying to God to stop the devil's operations is no different than my son asking me to take out the trash, after I have told him to do it.

God told us to resist the devil and he would flee. We must believe and act on God's Word.

EPHESIANS 4:27 NKJ 27 nor give place to the devil.

Would God tell us not to let the devil have any place, if we had no say about it? If the devil does have a place in our affairs, it's because we allowed it.

JAMES 4:7 NKJ 7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

We must first submit to God, because we are not greater in power than the devil. But submitted to God in Christ Jesus, the devil must back off when we resist him and his works.

SAY THIS: In the Name of Jesus, I command you devil to leave me, my family, and my property alone! Be gone!
