When you know God's Word, the debate (argument) is CLOSED!
The devil can tell you something but if you know the Word, you can go, "Wait a minute, but it says this in 'God's Word'(the Bible), so that can't be true because it's not agreeing with 'God's Word' and His Word is the truth! And by the devil I mean in your mind or another person. One thing I have to remember is the devil is going to find somebody to be the carrier of dissension and hate and of lies. I have to pray that it won't be me!
2 Corinthians 10:5 refute arguments and theories and reasoning's and every proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the true knowledge of God; and lead every thought and purpose away captive into the obedience of Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).
John 8:44 "You belong to your Father, the devil. He was a murderer from the beginning and has never stood by the truth, since there is no truth in him. Whenever he tells a lie, he speaks in character,for he is a liar and the father of lies."
When you do this, you are refuting arguments and theories against the truth! You are proving others' arguments and theories to be false because you are comparing them with the truth. Basically, you are comparing a theory (which is someones' speculation). You are comparing it with the truth,the Bible,God's Word.
refute is- to prove to be false.
theory- speculation; general idea; a notion.
argument is- a reason offered in proof for or against a thing.
Now if you don't know for sure about something, you look it up in the Bible and ask God to show you. And eventually, after you do this several times you know what God's thoughts are on the matter. This is why in His Word He asks you to know His Word and have it in your heart. You are not always going to have 'the physical presence' of the Word (the Bible) on you so when something comes up like a new theory being thrown at you or someone reasons to you why you should or should not do something, you can compare it with what the 'Holy Spirit' has laid on your heart. Believe it or not, the 'Holy Spirit' helps you remember things (the truth) when you need to remember it.People in the Bible days didn't have a 'book' to refer to. They had to learn and remember (put it on their hearts) then they were able to put it into action when the time came.
Because when you know God's Word, the debate (argument) is CLOSED!

Tell Me the Truth and Give Me No Lies!
When you learn verses, don't just learn them to be able to say I can say these and then you never say them. God's Word is power! Imagine them (His Words) being like bullets towards the enemy.
Bullets of truth brings down the devils lies!
For instance, you have a problem with anger. If you've learned God's Word on this, you can say out loud things like Psalm 37:8 or Proverbs 16:23 that says,A wise man guides his mouth, and his lips promote instruction. At first your 'feelings' might get in the way and you 'feel' like this is stupid or it won't work,etc. But that is the devil lying to you so that you won't speak it. He knows they contain power.
God's Word is truth. John 8:31,32.
God's Word does not come back void (empty). Isaiah 55:11
The Lord watches over His Word to perform it. Jeremiah 1:12
The Word of God is a spiritual sword. Hebrews 4:12
Meaning the Word of God is a weapon, so that's why I used the example of bullets.
Let's say you have a problem to forgive someone, you trust in God and repeat "I do not hate or walk in unforgiveness," which is taken from 1 John 2:11 and Eph. 4:32 or another verse that you are led to repeat.
Fear is a big one and one of the first one's I started repeating. 2 Tim. 1:7 "For God hath not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."
Realize that the battle is in your mind and use the power of God's Words to fight that battle. We have many weapons to fight this battle of good and evil and the 'Word of God' is one of them.
You can also 'shoot bullets' of evil if you are not careful by being hateful, resentful, or judgemental towards people. Talking about them in a negative way has you working for the devil and not God.
Being able to recite Bible scriptures is great and a good start, but you also need to write it on the tablet of your heart(know it down deep in your spirit) so that you can shoot those "bullets" (as I call them),back at the devil and his lies!
