30 Bible verses the devil doesn’t want you to know about

We challenged our followers on Facebook: “Name a verse the devil doesn’t want you to know about.”

The response was quite overwhelming! We are familiar with Satan’s tricks, and know that the word of God is the way to overcome him every time. What a treasure of armor, power, and strength God’s word gives us! He truly has not left us on our own to overcome “the wiles of the devil,” but has fully equipped us. The devil can’t stand up to the word of God.

Of course it’s a bit of a tongue-in-cheek question, because we know that Satan would be happiest if we disregarded the word of God entirely. There isn’t a word there that he’s happy for us to know about. But it’s a good exercise to think about it anyway, and think of verses that have been a special weapon for us.

Here is just a handful of the verses that were shared on Facebook.
