The phrase “stand your ground” is an idiom that refers to a law in the United States of
America that allows an individual to use force that would otherwise be illegal against a
person that poses an immediate threat of serious bodily harm. This law allows for an
individual to “stand one’s ground” instead of retreating when being attacked.
This same law is found in God’s Word, for He expects you to stand your ground when
the devil poses a threat of any kind against you or your loved ones. He wants you to
use the name of Jesus to drive the devil and His works out of your body and your mind,
away from your job and finances, and He desires for you to uproot any work of the devil
out of your life.
To be successful in this endeavor, you must determine within yourself that you will
remain steadfast and unmovable! You cannot withdraw your faith because the devil
persists in bombarding your mind with lies of defeat, you cannot back up if you are
experiencing pain within your body, you mustn’t crumble when mental and emotional
attacks are coming from your family, or from the people on your job.
Rather, God expects you to submit yourself unto Him, resist the devil, and watch him
flee from you according to James 4:7. To resist the devil means to refuse to comply with
His wishes for your life. And as you resist him, know that you are fighting the good fight
of faith!
Thus, remain clearheaded and observant. Not allowing any wrong thinking to hinder
you from winning the batter over the devil.
1 Peter 5:8-10 says, Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a
roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the
faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the
world. But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ
Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle
you.
As you stand untroubled and unconcerned in the midst of the battle, remember that your
God, the God of all grace, is repairing, restoring, and firmly securing you, making your
victory sure!
Therefore, continue to stand your ground, for retreating is not an option!
