How to Defeat Satan
293
who abides in Christ is more than a match for the hosts of darkness.
Therefore he seeks to draw away the soldiers of the cross from their
strong fortification, while he lies in ambush, ready to destroy all who
[327]
venture upon his ground. Only in reliance upon God and obedience
to all His commandments can we be secure.
No man is safe for a day or an hour without prayer. Entreat the
Lord for wisdom to understand His Word. Satan is an expert in quot-
ing Scripture, placing his own interpretation on passages by which
he hopes to cause us to stumble. We should study with humility of
heart. While we must constantly guard against the devices of Satan,
we should pray in faith continually: “Lead us not into temptation.”
Matthew 6:13
