Having acknowledged the call and anointing of God upon our life, we pose
a serious threat to Satan. In his eyes, we have become the most
dangerous living things on this globe. Our second responsibility is to
contend with him.
Satan is not worried about God. He is postponing that inevitable
confrontation as long as he can. But since we represent God’s divine
power and authority in this world, the adversary must reckon with
us. If
a person were to die now, the devil would not care whether he went to
heaven or hell. Either way, he would be forever removed from the field
of battle and out of his way. What Satan does fear is a person who is
alive, one who has God’s divine nature in his spirit. Only such a person
can wield the sword of the spirit—the Word of God—with accuracy. We are
dangerous to him, and we will have to resist him.
When we strap on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:11), we must be
prepared and determined to use it. The evil one will certainly attack us
with all the forces of darkness.
