What does it mean when the bible says resist the devil and he will flee from you? (1 Peter 5:5-9 and James 4:7) Growing up in the WoF mvt, we learned it to mean to rebuke the devil when we are suffering with illnesses, poverty, etc.. and by doing that he wouldn't be able to "attack" us.

So what does it really mean to resist the devil ? and how do you do this?
