John 14:30 - "The ruler of the world is coming. And he has no hold on me"
We all know who is meant with 'ruler of the world', Satan. How can we make sure he has no hold on us as for Jesus.
The most important thing to do, is not rely on ourselves for this. Consider James 4:7,8 - "Subject yourselves, therefore, to God; but oppose the Devil, and he will flee from YOU. 8 Draw close to God, and he will draw close to YOU. Cleanse YOUR hands, YOU sinners, and purify YOUR hearts, YOU indecisive ones".
So when we want to be able to withstand Satan, we must work on our relationship with Jehovah. When we try to do what we can to draw close to Jehovah, He will help us and we will be able to say the same as Jesus did in our text for today.
much love,
Barry
