INTRODUCTION: A little boy stood outside and yelled loudly from the back door, "Mom, Hey MOM!" His mother replied, "Stop yelling across the house. If you want to talk to me walk in here where I am."

Once we enter into Jesus Christ by baptism (Rom.6:3, Gal.3:27), and the Holy Spirit enters into us at baptism (Acts 2:38), we have everything we need to take our stand against the devil and his demons.
However, just because we have everything we need to take our stand against the devil and his demons, doesn't necessarily mean that we always USE the strength and power that G ...
