"Submit
yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from
you." (James 4: 7)
The fear of devils in this world has been with humans since the beginning of time. Many believe that the devil is black and hideous in appearance and that he comes only at night. Similarly, humans also think that devils scare us. Both of these are unscriptural.
The Bible says that the
devil is perfectly beautiful. Devils are those who were in heaven with God. "Thus
saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in
beauty. Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy
covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the
jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship
of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast
created." ( Ezekiel 28 : 12,13 )
They were cast into hell for
their disobedience. And their purpose is not to frighten us, but rather to lead
men's souls to sin so that they may not receive the heavenly pleasures which
they have lost. So, they fight with us to spoil our spiritual life.
This is what the apostle
Paul said, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,
but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness
of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." (Ephesians 6:
12)
It is not Christian teaching
to tie amulets and various enchanted cords on the wrist to resist these demons,
as some do. As today's verse says, we need God-fearing obedience. Therefore,
obey God; Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
Also, if we are to fight an enemy,
we must have the appropriate weapons. Only then will he run away in fear of us.
What are those weapons, the apostle Paul said, "Stand therefore, having your
loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of
righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of
peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able
to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation,
and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: (Ephesians 6: 14 -
17)
Yes, beloved, it is not
Satan's purpose to frighten us or chase us in the dark; Instead his purpose is
to destroy our souls. Therefore, what we have to do is live a life of obedience
to God and put on the armor that the Apostle Paul says. So, when we resist the
devil, he will flee from us.
