Good Friday Saints, Shalom … TRUTH: - It is a sad testimony, BUT TRUE, few Believers actually exercise authority of Satan.
THE BLESSINGS OF REDEMPTION, I-11
Ephesians 1:22-23 says, “And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of him that fills all in all.”
We, as the Body of Christ, are the ones responsible for enforcing Christ’s victory over the devil until He returns and completes the job perfectly.
The Lord has not totally enforced His victory over Satan through His second coming and the establishment of His physical kingdom on earth, because He is patiently waiting for others to receive His salvation (2 Peter 3:9). However, it is the Will of God and His command for His FOLLOWERS to exercise authority over Satan. Yes Lord!
TRUTH - It is a sad testimony, BUT TRUE, few Believers actually exercise authority of Satan. As a result, a conquered enemy is causing much misery because God’s people do not subdue Him.
Saints, WE, as the Body of Christ, are the ones responsible for enforcing Jesus’ victory over the devil until He returns and completes the job perfectly. Therefore, we are the ones who are guilty of allowing Satan, a conquered foe, to run free.
Some might say, “But we can’t stop the devil.” That’s not true. Jesus gave us His authority and power (Matthew 28:18-20), and He now lives through us (Galatians 2:20). IF we would believe, we could see the same things happen through us that Jesus saw in His physical ministry (John 14:12). Help us Lord Jesus, Help our UNBELIEF!
GLORY TO GOD - Jesus has already fought the devil and defeated him totally. There is no contest directly between God and the devil. Satan can only function because WE give him the authority in our lives.
KNOW THIS – Saints, there is no excuse for TRUE Believers to allow Satan to destroy our lives. WE HAVE AUTHORITY OVER ALL THE POWER OF THE ENEMY (Luke 10:19). YES LORD, IN JESUS NAME, Amen!
Shalom Saints … Have a glorious weekend. Share some joy! ~ Clara
