Matthew 4:4 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 written… It is written… It is written…”
(Matthew 4:4, 7, 10)
Likewise, should the devil remind you of the pain in your
body, say what God’s 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 don’t 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 doesn’t matter how much I have
in the bank. God’s Word tells me that as the need arises, the
supply will be there!”
When fear grips you, don’t say to yourself, “This fear is
stupid. Come on, what are the chances of it happening to me?”
Don’t try to rationalize or reason your fear away. Instead,
speak God’s 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 God’s 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…”
