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)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.
Whenever you feel that you have sinned & fall short of the Glory of GOD which the Devil accuses you via some people in coming to put you under condemnation, reply & say that:- It is Written, Christ's is my Righteousness, Sanctification (Holiness) & Redemption (1 Cr 1:30). If you still feel condemned, then quote to yourself, "it is written, There is therefore now NO condemnation for those who are in Christ' (Rom 8:1)
Should depression sets in fm the mistakes that you have done in your life that causes great guilt & the devil comes to accuse you of being a lousy Husband/Wife or a whatever situation you are faced with, do not look at your problem & his (devil's) accusation, look towards the Cross of Jesus & quote, "it is written, Jesus was judged on the Cross & bored all my sins which Daddy GOD poured out HIS wrath on Jesus instead of me' (Num 21:8) Look at the Bronze Serpent (A 'type of/picture' of Jesus on the Cross) & lived.
Whatever you do, never look at your own 'self righteousness' & always look towards the Cross for it's written: "But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord." (2 Cr 3:18) As you can read, it is us whom only needs to look towards Christ & then HE'll transform us into His image & not via our efforts nor self works.
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 am not trying to be rich. I am already rich and I have Gods Word for it. It is written, 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
Armed yourselves with the power of His Word, so whenever you are engaged in the fight of life- you will surely win & come out on top for His Gospel is the Power of GOD (Rom 1:16)
