We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.
(1 John 5:18)
You are born of God and the divine life of Jesus dwells in you. This holy presence of God's life in you is the power that will keep the wicked one from touching you.

God says that your righteousness is of Him. "No weapon formed against you shall prosper…" (Isa. 54:17).

You have been given a mighty shield of faith "…with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one." (Eph. 6:16) All means "all." Whatever the devil tries to throw at you is destroyed by your shield of faith.

"Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you." (James 4:7) Submitting to God means believing and obeying the Word. When you do this and stand in faith, the devil has no choice but to leave.

First Peter 1:5 says that you "…are kept by the power of God through faith…." Believe this promise to you and act like it is so. In our battle against the devil, there is no room for fear or timidity.

The Word says the devil cannot touch you when you keep yourself. You keep yourself by walking in the love of God and being patient and full of faith.

Jesus gave you and every believer power over all the power of the enemy. (Luke 10:19) You are commissioned to cast out devils. (Mark 16:17)

Jesus defeated Satan on the Cross and stripped him of his power and authority. Don't allow yourself to worry about the devil. Say what the Word says about the situation.

DECLARATION OF FAITH
I am born of God. I keep myself and the wicked one does not touch me. I resist the devil and he flees from me. My shield of faith quenches every fiery dart. The devil runs from me in terror. Demonic oppression cannot touch me for I am kept by the power of God.
