Here is part 2 of our series on RESISTANCE and how to respond. Please read 2 Sam. 15:31. To review, the term resistance movement describes situations in which oppressed people rise up against their oppressors. Resistance fighters take a stance, “I’m not going to stand idly by and allow this evil to continue. I choose to resist the wrongs. Whether I live or die in resisting my oppressor, I will no longer live as I have been.” Resistance in prayer is the Biblical approach to confronting and overcoming the devil. Peter wrote, “But resist him, firm in your faith” 1 Peter 5:9
Biblical resistance is a decision to join the struggle against evil in prayer.
The good news is that God has given each of us a measure of faith to develop. He also gives us the ability to trust Him and surrender our lives to Him. We can stand firm and resist the enemy, but only by the power of God! He is the One who hears our prayers and rushes to our defense. When we pray, Satan flees.
