Defeating the Devil

Defeating the devil on earth only happens when you walk in the light. Simply resisting him doesn't involve rebuking him with words, using crosses, holding up bibles, or anointing oil in your house - these are merely meaningless rituals. To resist the devil genuinely is by walking in the light and understanding the resurrection of Jesus. God is the embodiment of light, and with Him, there is no darkness. Darkness is a consequence of buried iniquities, ignorance, and carrying the burden of sin in our hearts. When we allow this to happen, it provides the devil access to wreck chaos in our lives.
