Christians have the authority to resist the devil.
             1 Peter 5:8-9 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
              James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
