Do Not Allow Satan to Have the Last Say

Matthew 4:10 (NKJV) Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve.'”
The devil speaks all the time. You may not be able to stop him from speaking but you can make sure he does not have the last say. Devil can take advantage of our circumstances, feelings, and emotions to preach his sermon to us. He can bombard our mind with thoughts that are not consistent with God’s plan and purpose for us. But we have the responsibility and the capability to cast down all satanic imaginations and bring to captivity every satanic thought (2 Corinthians 10:4-5). Jesus Christ is our example. When Satan came to tempt Him (Jesus Christ) in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1-11), through the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, Satan did not have the last say. Jesus responded to Satan’s suggestions, by stating the stand of God’s word concerning each suggestion. Whenever Satan confronts you with his suggestion, his opinion, his deception and his lies, respond with the truth (God’s word). Do not allow him to have the last say in any situation concerning you. Satan is not a gentle man; so you must counter his temptations with violent faith based on God’s Word. But you must know the truth to be able to challenge his (Satan’s) lies. You must study “to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” (2 Timothy 2:15).
