Satan has no power over us because we trust in Jesus. Jesus saw satan
fall from heaven like lightening. Jesus stayed in heaven with God when
satan was kicked out. Jesus has authority over satan and He has given
us AUTHORITY over the power of the enemy. Praise you Jesus.
When satan is among you, you can crush him. Think about snakes and
scorpions. These animals are used to describe satan. They are low to
the ground, they are poisonous, but it is easy to crush them. The
scorpions squirm around in the dirt. They aren't easily spotted, so you
must be aware of your surroundings so you aren't "bit." Think about how
easy it is to kill a scorpion. You just have to have good aim so they
don't squirm away. Snakes are easier to spot. They slither around.
Some can squeeze you to death while others have venom. We must crush
those satan snakes in our lives so he doesn't get a grip around us.
Satan has no authority over us. Jesus has given us authority to crush
satan, but we shouldn't rejoice in the fact that evil spirits obey us,
but rejoice that your name is registered in heaven. Gods grace through
Jesus is our only hope to conquer the enemy. We are nothing without
Him. With Jesus, we can live with Jesus forever in heaven.
Lord Jesus, You tell us in your word that you have given us authority
over the power of the enemy. Wow, that is an amazing insight! Help us
to recognize the enemy so we can take authority before he starts to
squeeze us. We can crush satan every time he attacks us. He has no
authority over us in the name through the blood of Jesus. We claim
your power in our lives. We don't rejoice because evil spirits obey us,
but rejoive because our names are registered in heaven. Praise the name
of Jesus who was, and is and is to come. Amen
