How does the enemy see you?  Does he see you as a mighty warrior or does he see you as a wimp he can whip in a minute?

The answer to that question depends on you.  The children of Israel failed to enter the promised land because of these words, "And we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight."

The reason the Israelites were so terrified to fight the giants in Canaan wasn't because they were so big.  It was because the Israelites saw themselves so small.  It was what they were in their own sight that defeated them.

The same thing is true for you as a believer. It's what you are in your own sight that will make the difference.  If, in your own sight, you're a weak, powerless Christian, the devil will run over you three or four times a day or more.  But when you begin to see yourself as God sees you, as a conquering son or daughter of the Almighty God equipped with the very power of God Himself, the devil will want to steer clear of you.

If you are not strong in the Lord in your own sight, you need to change that.  You need to get so full of God's Word and so full of the Holy Ghost that you walk around like a spiritual giant. You can turn the tables on the devil and let him feel like a grasshopper for a change.
