Roaring Lions Need to be Resisted

Although the apostle Paul calls Satan the "ruler of the kingdom of the air" and Jesus calls him the "ruler of this world" we, meek and mild Christians, can actually resist this evil king. We don't fight Satan, and we don't take flight from him, we resist him. 

But how do we do that? How do we stand our ground against Satan? James was a very practical writer and thinker, and he tells us pretty neatly how to do this: submit to God, humble yourself before Him, draw near to Him, wash your hands from sin and purify your heart.

One thing is very clear, we resist Satan with the presence of God. Make not mistake, Satan is not scared of us. There is only one person he fears. You know who that is? Yes, God himself. The more He is present in our lives, the less Satan can have any power in harming us.
