How can I defeat Satan when he continuously defeats me?
How can I defeat Satan when he’s fighting against everything I do and try to be?
How can I defeat Satan when he’s using the ones I love so true?
How can I defeat Satan when he hinders everything that I try to do?
How can I defeat Satan when he stays in my finances?
How can I defeat Satan when he brings upon me horrible circumstances?
What must I do to gain the victory?
How can I get Satan off of me?
It’s not Satan that you need to defeat,
But it’s your fears, doubts, and selfishness you must beat.
Satan can’t take anything that belongs to you,
Nor does he have control over anything that you try to do
Unless, of course, you have given him way
By choosing to follow temptation and go astray.
Satan can’t just walk into your home and cause division,
But you allow him in with bad decisions,
Such as allowing others’ faults to get under your skin
To the point that you allow anger and resentment to set in
Building walls of unforgiveness and hate all around you;
Not allowing God to show you what you must do
To look beyond faults to see needs;
For, this simple effort will eliminate a desire to do evil deeds.
Satan can’t just walk on your job and fire you,
But, he uses your fear of losing that job to control the things you do,
Which is do whatever you feel is necessary to remain employed
Even when there are times that there are people and situations you know you should avoid.
You allow fear to take away your self-confidence
And make you avoid using your common sense;
For, regardless of whatever is going on,
You must always decide never to do what is wrong.
When the supervisor and co-workers mistreat you,
Satan has persuaded them that this is the thing to do
To get rid of you and to get you out of the way;
But, you must be confident that for their wrong, God will make sure they pay.
When you allow hate and animosity to enter your heart and take control,
You can do things that can cause you to lose your soul
Giving Satan the very thing that he desires,
And that is to make your eternal home his lake of fire.
Satan can’t just go into your bank, purse, and wallet and just take your finances,
But because you choose not to give and pay tithes and offerings, you offer him many chances
To take away the security that you shall have whatever you need;
And on your selfishness and greed, he will feed.
How can you defeat Satan when he’s coming so hard and often against you?
By doing all that God has called and chosen you to do.
If you are in your spiritually right position,
Satan has no way of gaining ammunition
To fight against you and to take what rightly belongs to you;
For, God’s word will always stand and hold true
That if His people would turn from their wicked ways, repent and seek His face,
He will hear from heaven, heal our land, and provide whatever we need in this Christian race.
Therefore, trust God’s word and believe that it stands true,
And Satan can never have victory over you.
