Total Victory over Satan in Christ Jesus
(John 1:5 [KJV])
And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
(John 1:5 [NET])
And the light SHINES ON in the darkness, but the darkness HAS NOT MASTERED IT.
Some people think that Jesus and the devil are always wrestling and exchanging blows with each other. This is a human Ideology.
When I examined the scriptures, I did not find Jesus exchanging blows with the devil. What I see is the devil taking off (Run) whenever he comes across Jesus!
Jesus is not fighting a 50-50 fight with the devil, he is not fighting a 60-40, 70-30, 80-20, 90-10 fight with the devil. Jesus is master over all. He has a 100-0 victory over him. Satan & Jesus are not equals. The devil has to flee whenever he encounters Jesus!
Consider the following scriptures
(Col 2:15 [KJV])[And] having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
(Col 2:15 [NET])
Disarming the rulers and authorities, he has made A PUBLIC DISGRACE of them, triumphing over them by the cross.
In Col 2: 15, AMP version says God disarmed the principalities and powers, TLB version says God took away their power… . It is as easy as taking away their power. It’s not a fight.
(Luke 8:28 [NET])
When he saw Jesus, he cried out, fell down before him, and shouted with a loud voice, “Leave me alone, Jesus, Son of the Most High God! I beg you, do not torment me!”
Here in Luke 8, the demons in the man begged Jesus not to torment them or send them into the abyss. They BEGGED, the devil nor his demons could not stand against Jesus.
Jesus sent the devil out with one word (no WRESTLING with the devil)
Jesus has not changed, He is still the same.
(Deut 28:7 [KJV])
The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.
Our Spiritual Authority
As a child of God, you have the same authority Jesus has over the devil. When Jesus rose from the dead he gave us (BELIEVERS) his spiritual authority, we are HIS BODY here on earth to represent him.(Mark 16:17 [NET])
These signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will DRIVE OUT demons…
KJV version says, cast out demons. To cast out means to throw away forcefully. We have Jesus authority to throw away demons. What a great AUTHORITY.
(1John 4:4 [KJV])
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because GREATER IS HE that is in you, than he that is in the world.
(Ps 91:1 -4[KJV])
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the LORD, [He is] my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, [and] from the noisome pestilence.
He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth [shall be thy] shield and buckler.
(Luke 10:19 [NET])
Look, I have given you authority to tread on snakes and scorpions and on the full force of the enemy, and nothing will hurt you.
That is why no evil (curse, divination, enchantment etc) planned against you can prosper (because you are in CHRIST).
I encourage us to search the scriptures and know our rights and privileges as the Body of Christ so as to walk in DAILY victory over the devil.
I proclaim to you, confidence and total victory over your enemy in Jesus Name, Amen!
JESUS HAS GIVEN YOU THE VICTORY OVER SATAN
