Every Christian is in an all out war with Satan. God has equipped us with unsurpassed and incomparable spiritual armor for this battle. It is our responsibility to resist the devil. When you reject him with the power of the indwelling Christ, “he will flee from you.”
Christ gives us His mighty strength (kratei) to resist Satan’s strategies (Phil. 4:13). It is not I, but Christ in me that I have this overwhelming conquering power.
Our responsibility in this spiritual warfare is to “put on the full armor of God” (Eph. 6:11). You will never win in the spiritual war without it. By using the armor God has provided we “stand firm against the schemes of the devil” (v. 11). In this spiritual war (v. 12) we must “take up the full armor of God” so we can “resist” Satan and “stand firm” (v. 13). The apostle Paul makes an urgent appeal for the believer to take his “stand.”
