🎙 Spoken Narrative (TTS-ready) “Holy Holy Holy. We welcome you to The Daily Redemption publication for December 13th, 2025. Today’s headline: The Devil Meets His Match. Scripture declares in 1 John 4:4 that the One who is in you is greater than the one in the world. James 4:7 commands us to submit to God and resist the devil, and he will flee. Ephesians 6:11 reminds us to put on the full armor of God, and Romans 16:20 promises that the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet. This is not a battle of equals — it is a victory already secured. Stand firm, resist, and watch the enemy scatter. Let us pray: Lord, strengthen us to resist temptation, to stand clothed in Your armor, and to walk in the confidence that You are greater. Amen.”
lyrics provided by Zeb of Virginia Beach Church:
from his song When The Troubles Come –
well the Devil ain’t no big man
that’s how it seems to me
not in the same league as my
saviour from Galilee
but if the big red guy comes a-callin’
he just ain’t gonna get my soul
because there’s one who never lost a battle
and because of him I know
When the Troubles Come, He’ll Be There When The Troubles Come
from his song Yell Yell At The Devil –
what a creepy cowardly monster
tries to gain traction in our souls
tries to poison our minds
and by deception take control
but we are bigger with righteous swords
we rebuke his evil schemes
in the full armor of the Lord
not tainted be, we are redeemed
yell yell at the devil
stand against evil stand without fear
🙏 Prayer Module “Father, we thank You that the devil flees when we resist in Your strength. Anchor us in Your Word, clothe us in Your armor, and remind us daily that victory is already ours through Christ.”

**Title: “The Devil Meets His Match”**
*(A 1.5-minute modern story—no director’s cues, pure narrative—rooted in truth, tension, and triumph)*
—
She wakes to the same dread. Again.
The voice in her head isn’t hers—it’s slick, familiar, whispering failure like a lullaby. *You’re too far gone. No one sees you. Nothing’s going to change.* The room feels heavy, the air thick with lies dressed as truth.
She scrolls through her phone—highlight reels of lives that seem whole while hers feels fractured. The enemy’s favorite trick: isolation. Make her believe she’s alone in the fight.
But then—a breath. A memory.
*“The One who is in you is greater…”*
Not louder, not angrier—just *truer*.
She gets up. Doesn’t feel brave. But she speaks anyway—quietly at first, then firm: “I resist you.”
She ties her shoes like armor. She opens her Bible like a shield. She prays, not perfectly, but *purposefully*: “God, You’re greater. I’m Yours.”
Outside, the world keeps spinning—but something shifts.
The fear doesn’t vanish, but its power cracks. Because she’s not fighting *for* victory—she’s standing *in* it. The battle was won at Calvary. The devil isn’t a rival—he’s a defeated foe, all bluster and smoke.
And when the next wave of anxiety rolls in?
She doesn’t cower.
She sings—softly, defiantly—
*“What a creepy, cowardly monster… but we are bigger with righteous swords.”*
She walks into the day not as a victim, but as a conqueror.
Because the God of peace will soon crush Satan under her feet.
And until then?
She yells—
not in rage, but in faith:
**“You don’t get my soul.”**
The devil came knocking.
But he met his match.
