The Holy Spirit inspired men to write the Bible (2 Peter 1:21; 2 Timothy 3:16), breathing the Words right into them. This is what makes the inspired Word of God a divinely powerful weapon against the enemy (2 Cor. 10:5). Because Satan is powerful, you will need something that is even more powerful: God’s Word. Even Jesus knew this, using specific Scriptures to refute the devil’s lies (Matthew 4).
Because the Holy Spirit inspired the Word, He alone empowers its use in demonic warfare. He brings to our minds the Words that will defeat the enemy (John 14:26). Paul testified that the heart of his gospel message was the Spirit-empowered Word (1 Thess. 1:5). If you have not realized God’s power in battle against the devil, and if you are not experiencing victory over sin, is it because you forgot to make use of the Spirit empowered Word at your moment of temptation?
