Accusation is to slander others and to charge them with sins by fabricating things as if they have sins even though they don’t. “Back then, didn’t you do that? You did commit a sin!” The fact is that thoughts like these are all accusation originating from the Devil. But what did Jesus tell us? “I have also blotted out that sin too. I have solved everything for you, so live out your life with peace on your heart.” This is what Jesus is telling us.
Those who have had experiences similar to mine must know it all, but when one gets accused by the Devil, it becomes very unbearable. But there is a way to overcome such temptation, and that is none other than faith of believing in the fact that all authority lies in the name of Jesus Christ. Although it was before I had received the remission of my sins, when I resisted Satan in the name of Jesus with such faith, Satan the fled away from me to my surprise. Only those who have demons know this pain. Also those who have demons cannot readily speak about their sins to others. Who can readily speak about their sins? If I told someone about my sins, and if they were able to solve my sins, it might have been different, but the fact of the matter is that no single person has the ability to solve the problem of sin. So when I was suffering from the agony of this temptation by the Devil, I resisted him in the name of Jesus Christ, believing only in the authority in that name. When I did so, he fled.
Dear fellow believers, we have now become the truly born-again by believing in the gospel of the water and the Spirit. As we read the Book of Acts, we read of a certain man who had been a cripple all his life stood up and walked when Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk” (Acts 3:6). All of this was possible because there was authority in the name of Jesus Christ. In order to resist the Devil, we must believe in the authority in the name of Jesus Christ shown in these Words. We should have a clear fellowship with the Lord in our hearts, and also get the problem that concerns our hearts solved before Him. Even if we have many wrongdoings, our Lord will cleanse all our sins as white as snow. As we willingly confess our sins and acknowledge the fact that we are those who cannot but go to hell because of those sin, and as we believe in our hearts the fact that the Lord has blotted out all our sins by the gospel of the water and the Spirit, all our sins will be atoned for, and we will become the perfect righteous people of God, as if we were people who have never ever committed any sin.
We must believe that Jesus Christ is the Savior who has blotted out all our sins, and we must resist the Devil by believing that no matter how lacking we are, we will walk with the Lord until the end of the world, and by believing that this authority lies in the name of Jesus Christ. We must realize that the Devil is a liar and that he is the enemy of God who resists Him, the true gospel and the very Truth. When we cry out, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ! Be gone, Satan!” Satan, who has tried to reside inside our hearts, will flee.
The Lord gave his disciples including us, the authority to defeat Satan. The Lord said to His disciples, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. --- Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you” (Luke 10:18-19). We all must have faith in this Word. Dear fellow believers, if you do not have faith, pray to the Lord. “Dear Lord, I lack faith. Please grant me strong faith.” If you pray like this and ask in earnest, you will receive faith from the Lord. If we believe that Jesus Christ is higher than Satan and also if we resist the Devil with Jesus Christ’s name, we will be able to defeat the Devil with our faith.
