    Satan tempted Jesus, and Jesus said: “Get behind me satan.” While we don’t quite have the power of Jesus, if we have repented fully of our sins, we have the full power to fight with satan.
    First, repent. Second, tell satan in Jesus name to get behind you. Third, commit to a long-term war with sin. This commitment will increase your power to fight temptation. Fourth, committed Christians have great power when they pray the blood of Jesus over their fight. The power of Jesus blood gives us victory over darkness.
    1 Peter 5:8 -9  Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
    James 4:7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
    Everyone can resist. If while under severe temptation you read these verses over and over again, power will start to fill you. Read them while watching (clean) TV. Put them in your phone. Access His power.
    How do we submit to God? Consider praying:
    “Father, Your ways are right and great. Help me to fight until I change.”
    With every temptation Jesus said to satan, “It is written.” What if with every temptation you find 2 verses about your habit and you repeat them 5 times per hour, or more. Then, the next day find two new ones and repeat, repeat, repeat. What if you find two new verses each day for 30 days, and repeat them with “Every” temptation. With every verse copy Jesus, and say, “It is written.”
    Finally, fight temptation the way Jesus did. It works.
