It is the responsibility of all who’ve received right standing with God the Father through Christ Jesus to resist the enemy. Revelation knowledge by the power of God the Holy Spirit and the confidence which comes thereof works against Satan’s perversion. Therefore, the thinking of kingdom citizens must be in-line with what God says for victory against the thief who comes “to steal, and to kill, and to destroy” by taking away the seed in the WORD of God before it is sown or grows or is rooted in the heart (John 10:10a; Luke 8:11-12).

The devil is allowed to take by planting thoughts of doubt and unbelief as well as unscriptural “religious” tradition. Quality personal time with the LORD facilitates renewal of the mind by the teachings of the Holy Spirit through whom information in the WORD is revealed. Revelation knowledge renders intimate insight as to the character of the Sovereign LORD God Almighty and our tie to Him; we are tied to God as opposed to outside circumstances. The more revelation knowledge results in increased ability to discern between God’s instructions, and the whispers of the enemy.

The more discernment results in increased readiness for “casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.” 2 Corinthians 10:5 (KJV). We do so with authority in the Name above all names “[above every title that can be conferred], not only in this age and in this world, but also in the age and the world which are to come” Ephesians 1:21 (AMP). That is, in the name of JESUS (Luke 10:19; Mark 16:17a), Amen.
