Behold, I have given you authority to tread on snakes and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will harm you. — Luke 10:19

Scripture doesn't mince words about the enemy. He prowls like a lion, but he's a defeated one. James says resist him and he'll flee—and the way we resist is by putting on the whole armor of God. You're not left to fight in your own strength. It plainly: 'rejoice not against me, o my enemy; when i fall, i shall arise; though I sit in darkness, the LORD will be my light.' the victory's already secured at the cross.
