Get God's Word For It

Matthew 4:4
4But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’”

When the devil tempted Jesus, He turned the Word of God on the devil, saying, “It is written… It is written… It is written…” (Matthew 4:4, 7, 10)
Likewise, should the devil come to you and remind you of the pain in your body, say what God’s Word says: “It is written, ‘By His stripes, I am healed!’” (Isaiah 53:5, 1 Peter 2:24) And tell Daddy God, “I have Your Word for it and I am resting on Your Word. I am not trying to be healed. My healing has already happened. I don’t care what this body says. It has to line up with Your Word because by Jesus’ stripes, I am healed!”
And if the devil says to you, “What do you have? Nothing! Look at the meagre balance in your bank account. Where is the money going to come from?” say to him, “I am not trying to be rich. I am already rich and I have God’s Word for it, for it is written, ‘My God shall supply all my needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.’ (Philippians 4:19). It doesn’t matter how much I have in the bank. God’s Word tells me that as the need arises, the supply will be there.”
When fear grips you, don’t say to yourself, “This fear is stupid. Come on, what are the chances of it happening to me?” Don’t rationalise or reason your fear away. The fear will remain. Instead, speak God’s Word into the situation. Say, “It is written, ‘For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.' ” (2 Timothy 1:7) What if the fear comes back? Speak God’s Word again. Say, “It is written, ‘For God has not given us a spirit of fear…’ ”
When the devil attacks you, give him the Word of God. There is something about the Word of God that causes him not to want to hang around those who use it. It reminds him of Jesus who rendered him powerless, of no effect, when He said, “It is written…”
