You can know how to have victory over your enemy.

Hey youths! Can you really have victory over Satan every day? What happens if you fail? Satan wants you to sin so he can spoil your relationship with God. You need to remember four very important things that will help you have victory over Satan.

1. You don’t have to sin. Remember that the Lord Jesus already defeated Satan and sin when He died on the cross and rose again. The bible says, “Resist [stand against] the devil, and he will flee [run] from you” (James 4:7). You can choose to say no to sin through the strength of the Lord Jesus, who lives in you.

2. Remember that sin spoils your friendship with God. He will never leave you, but sin makes Him sad. Sin also blocks your prayers so that God will not answer.

3. You can make things right by confessing your sin to God. The bible says that if you agree with God about your sin, He is always fair and promises to forgive you. Then your friendship with God will be made right. Ask Him to help you not to sin that way again. You may also need to say “I’m sorry” to someone else who has been hurt by your sin.

4. Thank God for victory over Satan. Remember that Jesus is the one who makes you a winner.

The bible says, “Be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power” (Ephesians 6:10). How good it is to know deep inside that you can be a winner over Satan!

“But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Corinthians 15:57
