You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. --1 John 4:4
It is wonderful to know that the devil is subject to God's authority. So
whenever I sense a satanic attack, I think, Well, that's interesting.
But God knows I can take it.

Learn the secret that every satanic attack is with God's permission and has a purpose. Do you know what Job learned at the very end? It is so thrilling. Job said to the Lord, "I know that ... no plan of yours can be thwarted" (Job 42:2, emphasis added). Indeed, no purpose of God can be threatened because God is more powerful than the devil.
There is never emancipation without conflict. But it is always within the scope of God's permission. Another thing about the devil is that he is the accuser. You see, the devil will come along and accuse you, and he does this because you did the right thing. The devil wants you to feel stupid. Furthermore, the devil is a liar.
