God has given you all authority over the enemy. So, when he tries to send people your way, rebuke him, send him packing, and remind him that he must go back where he belongs—under your feet! These are five ways God promises to deal with our enemies.
- He will bring everything hidden into the light. “Nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light” (Luke 8:17, NKJV) Next time you have an enemy coming against you, obey Luke 6:27-36, then pray Luke 8:17, and thank God that He will bring everything hidden into the light.
- He will avenge you. Romans 12:19 says, “Never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, ‘Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord’” (ESV).
- He won’t let enemies succeed against you. Your greatest enemy has come to steal, kill and destroy. And he doesn’t work alone. He’ll use other people (even Christians) to carry out his plans.
