Satan's power is in the lie. He has no power over you except what you give him when you believe his lies. You break his power when you expose the lie. Scripture says, "We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one." 1 John 5:19
Since Satan's primary weapon is the lie, your defense against him is
the truth. Dealing with Satan is not a power encounter; it's a truth
encounter.
When you expose Satan's lie with God's truth, his power is
broken. That's why Jesus said: "You shall know the truth, and the truth
shall make you free" (John 8:32). That's why He prayed: "My prayer is
not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from
the evil one. . . . Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth"
(John 17:15, 17 NIV ). That's why the first piece of armor Paul mentions
for standing against the schemes of the devil is the belt of truth
(Ephesians 6:14).
Satan's lies cannot withstand the truth any more than
the darkness of night can withstand the light of the rising sun.
Lord, give Sarah your boldness today to defeat the enemy's lies in her life and in the lives of those around her. Amen
