Defeating the Devil

The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.—James 5:16
. . . but Elijah climbed to the top of Carmel, bent down to the ground and put his face between his knees. 43“Go and look toward the sea,” he told his servant. And he went up and looked. “There is nothing there,” he said. Seven times Elijah said, “Go back.” 44The seventh time the servant reported, “A cloud as small as a man’s hand is rising from the sea.”— 1 Kings 18:42-44

And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.”—Luke 10:17
“For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the Devil.”— 1 John 3:8
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, 21Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. — Eph. 3:20, 21
