The Powerfull Remnant

And Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. Mark 9:23

This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. Galatians 5:16, 24

Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; 1 Peter 4:1

Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. James 1:21

Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. Romans 6:3, 4

For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. Romans 2:13

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Romans 12:2

Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 2 Corinthians 10:5

And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever 2 Timothy 4:18

Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. 2 Corinthians 2:14

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Phillipians 4:13

Awake to righteousness, and sin not…1 Corinthians 15:34

There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. 1 Corinthians 10:13

It is only through divine grace that we can overcome the defects in our character; The Signs of the Times, June 5, 1884

If we would permit our minds to dwell more upon Christ and the heavenly world. We should find a powerful stimulus and support in our warfare against sin. The Signs of the Times, June 19, 1884

Satan attacks us at our weak points; but we need not be overcome. The assault may be severe and protracted, but God has promised help for us, and in his strength we may conquer. ST January 19, 1882, par. 18

Man is not left alone to conquer the power of evil by his own feeble efforts. Help is at hand and will be given to every soul who really desires it. Angels of God, that ascend and descend the ladder which Jacob saw in vision, will help every soul who will, to climb even to the highest heaven. RH August 19, 1884, par. 15

Go to God and often plead with Him for strength. It will be given. Youth’s Instructor, Page 37

The principals of the Gospel should have a controlling power over us, that we may have the mind that was in Christ, and be pure as he was pure. Review and Herald, Vol. II, Page 406

He can, and will if we submit to Him, fill the chambers of the mind and the recesses of the soul with His spirit. Then our will is in perfect harmony with the divine will. Our spirit may be so identified with His spirit that in thought and aim we shall be one with Him. Youth’s Instructor, Page 420

He would sooner send every angel out of heaven to protect His people, than leave one soul that trusts in Him to be overcome by Satan. Spirit of Prophecy, vol 4, Page 377.2

We must grasp in confidence the rich promises of God, Then we shall be overcomers. Signs of the Times, Vol. IV, Page 143

Do not continue to talk of your weakness; for Jesus came to bring moral power to combine with human effort, that we might advance step by step in the heavenward way. Let your faith lay hold on the promise of God, and if clouds have encompassed your path, the mists will begin to roll back. Let us not lose sight of the fact that the angels of God are ready to help us in every emergency. What could we do if we were left to battle with the powers of darkness unaided? But God has not left us as a prey to the mighty, for he has provided that his grace shall be our support. ST April 4, 1892, par. 5

The soul must be barricaded by prayer and the study of the scriptures. Armed with these weapons, Jesus encountered the wiley foe on the field of battle, and overcame him. We may conquer in His strength; but it will not answer for us to suppose that we can dispense with His help. He says, “without me, you can do nothing.” Signs of the Times, Vol. I, Page 442

The Powerless Satan

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7

Neither give place to the devil. Ephesians 4:27

Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 1 Peter 5:7

I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one. 1 John 2:14

For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 1 John 5:4

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4

Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 1 Peter 1:5

The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished 2 Peter 2:9

Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Revelation 3:10e

Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Ephesians 6:11

The world’s Redeemer would not have man in ignorance of Satan’s devices. The vast confederacy of evil is arrayed against those who would overcome; but Christ would have us look to the things that are not seen, to the armies of heaven that encamp round about those who love God, to deliver them. The angels of heaven are interested in behalf of men. The power of Omnipotence is at the service of those who trust in God. The Father accepts the righteousness of Christ in behalf of his followers, and they are surrounded with light and holiness which Satan cannot penetrate. The voice of the Captain of our salvation speaks to his followers, saying, “‘Be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.’ I am your defense; advance to victory.” RH July 1, 1890, par. 9

Today Satan presents the same temptations that he presented to Christ, offering us the kingdoms of the world in return for our allegiance. But upon him who looks to Jesus as the author and finisher of his faith, Satan's temptations have no power. He cannot cause to sin the one who will accept by faith the virtues of Him who was tempted in all points as we are, yet without sin. RH January 28, 1909, par. 12 (1SM 224)

Pray in your closet, and as you go about your daily labor let your heart be often uplifted to God. It was thus that Enoch walked with God. These silent prayers rise like precious incense before the throne of grace. Satan cannot overcome him whose heart is thus stayed upon God.Steps to Christ Page 98.3

There is no power in the whole satanic force that can disable the soul that trusts, in simple confidence, in the wisdom that comes from God. The Youth's Instructor, December 15, 1898

But to those who earnestly seek a knowledge of the truth, thus doing what they can to prepare for the conflict, the God of truth will be a sure defense. “Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee,” is the Saviour’s promise. He would sooner send every angel out of Heaven to protect his people, than leave one soul that trusts in him to be overcome by Satan. Spirit of Prophecy, vol 4, Page 377.2

Satan is constantly at work, but few have any idea of his activity and subtlety. The people of God must be prepared to withstand the wily foe. It is this resistance that Satan dreads. He knows better than we do the limit of his power and how easily he can be overcome if we resist and face him. Through divine strength the weakest saint is more than a match for him and all his angels, and if brought to the test he would be able to prove his superior power.

Therefore Satan's step is noiseless, his movements stealthy, and his batteries masked. He does not venture to show himself openly, lest he arouse the Christian's dormant energies and send him to God in prayer. Testimonies for the Church Volume Five, page 293

In the whole Satanic force there is not power to overcome one soul who in simple trust casts himself on Christ. "He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might He increaseth strength." Isaiah. 40:29. Christ's Object Lessons, page 157

Wicked men and devils cannot hinder the work of God, or shut out his presence from the assemblies of his people, if they will, with subdued, contrite hearts, confess and put away their sins, and in faith claim his promises. Every temptation, every opposing influence, whether open or secret, may be successfully resisted, “not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.” RH March 22, 1887, par. 7
