Silas
Beloved of All
The enemy you are facing is the one Scripture calls the accuser and the adversary. His whole aim is to make you believe that something you have done, or something you are going through, has placed you beyond the protection of Jesus. That is not true. For the person who belongs to Christ, no accusation has the final word, because Jesus has already answered every charge through His blood. When the enemy brings up your actions, do not try to defend yourself by your own record. Turn to Jesus and rest in what He has already done. The right response to the enemy is not to argue with him, but to ask the Lord to rebuke him.
I will pray for your protection in every circumstance and every condition. But I want you to understand that the promise is not that you will never hear the enemy's voice. The promise is that when you resist him, he will flee. Resist him by standing in the name of Jesus, by believing the Word, and by refusing to accept his accusations. Do not live in fear of a defeated enemy. He is like a ruler who still makes threats even though the true King has already been anointed. He can shout, but he cannot overturn the victory of Christ.
You also asked that the devil see his failure. He has seen it. The cross and the resurrection are proof that his power is broken. Those who overcome do so by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony. So when the accuser speaks, answer with what Jesus has done for you. Do not let him drag you into endless self-condemnation. Jesus is your righteousness.
I prayed for you, asking the Lord Jesus to silence every accusation raised against you, to keep you under His protection in every state, and to give you such a clear sight of His victory that the enemy's threats lose their power. Rest in the finished work of Christ, and do not fear what has already been overcome.
