Faith Talks with Emily Preston085 - Know Thy Adversary Part 9We often hear people say, "You just have to have faith!"
But do you know that faith alone isn't enough?
God tells us in James 2:26 that faith has to have corresponding action if we want the results - the healing, protection, wisdom and peace - the Word promises us. We have to be DOERS of the Word and not hearers only. (James 1:22)
When we are DOERS of the Word and apply corresponding action to our faith, we stay hidden in the secret place of the Most High, under the shadow of the Almighty...

So when we give place to fear, negative emotions about ourselves/other people, or speak death-filled words about ourselves/other people, we are breaking the commandment of love.
When we break the commandment of love, we are giving place to sin. And the wages of sin is death.

The enemy has no power in the earth without a person in a flesh-and-blood body submitting to him, and the way that he deceives people into submitting to him is through THOUGHTS.
If the enemy can deceive us into thinking his thoughts, our words and actions will follow, and that's when we will start cooperating with the devil, or give him an "open door".

When Jesus conquered Satan at the cross, he was stripped of the dominion and authority that man had willingly submitted to him, and that authority and dominion was given back into the hands of man.
However, it is still possible for the devil to use the same tactic he used in the Garden of Eden - deception - to trick men into submitting to him and therefore empowering him to carry out his wicked plans.

The complete payment for sin has now been made, and sin is no longer an issue between God and man.
And because the ransom was paid, Jesus was finally able to execute judgement on Satan and he was hurled to the earth. The accuser of the brethren has been cast down and can no longer accuse us before God!

Lucifer had successfully deceived Eve into eating the forbidden fruit, Adam had willingly disobeyed God, and mankind had handed the dominion and authority God had given them over to Lucifer who then became Satan - our adversary.

“The devil is defeated, we can just ignore him.”
“We shouldn’t talk about the devil - it just gives him more power.”
“That person really opened a door to the devil.”
There are many different opinions and doctrines about what our attitude towards the devil should be.Â
But what does THE WORD say?
1 Peter 5:8 tells us that we have an adversary and he is the devil. He roams like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
