You Must Say "No" to the Devil

The greatest word in the world that you'll ever say to the devil is no. It's a real short word, but as long as you say no to the devil, he can't do anything to you. Even if you're an unsaved sinner and the devil tries to tempt you to commit a sin, say, "No! No! I won't do that." He can't make you do it.

Did you know that the devil can't make you do anything? You have to yield yourself to him.

Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

Romans 6:16

Always remember: You have to say yes to the devil before he can do anything to you. If you start participating with a lying spirit, you will start lying. You have obeyed the devil and the spirit that's tempting you. And you've become what the spirit is.

Watch the company you keep. Be selective about what you let yourself hear, read, or see—on TV for example. The Psalmist David said in Psalm 101, verse 3:

I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.

Good instruction is given in Psalm 1, verse 1, also:

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

Watch where and with whom you walk, stand or sit.

You Must Bind the Devil

You must say no to the devil. Don't participate with him in any form or fashion. If he has already attacked you, you must bind him. Understand this: if the devil has come to you with a disease, bind him first. Then you can effectively resist him.

Concerning the Church, Jesus said, ... the gates of hell shall not prevail against it (Matt. 16:18). You have to bind the devil!

In Matthew 12:29, Jesus said:... else how can one enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house. If you want to spoil the devil's efforts, you must first bind him.

Recognize that God and the devil exist! The devil isn't dead. As long as you resist evil—like lying, cheating and diseases—then the devil's hands will be tied and he won't be able to harm you. But you have to resist him in Jesus' name.

James 4:7 makes it real clear. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Anything that attacks you from the world of darkness —like confusion, heartaches or pain—is from the devil. Take authority over it right then, and in the name of Jesus say, "No, you don't. Not to me you don't, devil, no, no, no!"

Both you and I have power and authority. Any devil I can cast out in Jesus' name, you can, too. Any person I can get healed in Jesus' name, you can, too.
