Prayer for “Staying One Step Ahead of the Devil”

Father, I pray that You will help us to understand that we’re new creatures in Your Son, Christ Jesus, and the old person has died and no longer has to live, and we no longer have to live a defeated life. Help us, O Lord, to get a new way of thinking – thoughts that are filled with Your Word, words that are filled with power, that can bring down satan and his demons. Help us to remember that You have given us Your Word, a Word that is sharper than a two-edged sword, and You have sent Holy Spirit to help us and to teach us and to help us discern Your Word. I pray, Lord, that You will remind us that when satan is bringing back to our remembrance things we did before becoming a new creature, that we need to let him know that the person who did those things no longer lives, praise God! Thank You, Lord, that we are new creatures with new ways and new habits, and we’re no longer subject to the law, and as new creatures, we have been given the authority and the power over him, praise God! Thank You, Jesus. Hallelujah!
