Resistir
Resistir ao diabo e às forças do mal é um imperativo bíblico. Deus nos deu autoridade, armas espirituais e poder para enfrentar e vencer toda investida do inimigo.
Autoridade em Cristo
Jesus deu aos seus discípulos autoridade sobre todo o poder do inimigo. Em seu nome, temos domínio sobre as trevas.

Firmes na resistência
Resistir ao diabo é um ato de fé ativa. A Bíblia nos garante que quando resistimos, ele foge, e que maior é o que está em nós do que o que está no mundo.

So shall they fear the Shem Hashem from the ma’arav (west),

the Ruach of Hashem shall lift up a standard against him.
