The Righteous Always Have Appointment With Success And Greatness, But The Wicked Are Constantly Disappointed. Job 5:12
Many people don’t know the truth about Satan’s defeat. What’s worse is that when you tell them they either argue about it or fight you. Who fights or argues with figure news?Who does that!
Isn’t it insane to argue with or fight against the truth that has the ability to establish and guarantee your liberty?
Isa 5:13a “My people are gone into captivity because they have no knowledge…”
In fact, many Christians are the very instrument the devil is using to foster the deception that he is still a powerful foe. If this isn’t preposterous I wonder what is!
“SPIRITUAL WARFARE” is one of the hottest topics in the church today. People are expending great amounts of energy constantly battling the devil in ways contrary to the scriptures, but in reality, Satan has already been defeated.
Colossians 2:15 AMP [God] disarmed the principalities and powers that were ranged against us and made a bold display and public example of them, in triumphing over them in Him [Christ)] and in it [the cross].
We don’t need to defeat him again. Jesus already did that on our behalf and his victory has been credited to our account as though we did it.
I know you must be asking, “so what do we do now?”
1. We need to believe that Satan has already been completely destroyed (defeated and disarmed)
Hebrews 2:14 AMP Since, therefore, [these His] children share in flesh and blood [in the physical nature of human beings], He [Himself] in a similar manner partook of the same [nature], that by [going through] death He might bring to nought and make of no effect him who had the power of death—that is, the devil.
This kind of faith, faith in the Word, faith in what Jesus did and what the Spirit documented about His Finished Work in the Pauline epistles, is the only required necessity for a victorious Christian life.
Without this kind of faith, that is powered by the consciousness of our position in Christ, our Christian life will be a struggle and ultimately boring and uneventful.
2. We need to simply enforce his defeat.
Apostle Paul speaking by the Holy Ghost intimated the church on this subject, stating emphatically that we ought to: give no place to the devil. Ephesians 4:27
That sounds like your responsibility, doesn’t it? In other words, no one is going to do it for you. You have to deliberately take your stand against the illegal workings of the devil.
But how are we supposed to do that? By simply taking advantage of the name of Jesus.
Philippians 2:10 AMP That in (at) the name of Jesus every knee should (must) bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth.
We enforce Satan’s defeat each time we use the name of Jesus.
At the Name of Jesus, Satan is constantly reminded of his defeat… Did you get that?
No wonder Apostle Paul admonished us to constantly live by the name of Jesus:
Colossians 3:17 AMP And whatever you do [no matter what it is] in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus and in [dependence upon] His Person, giving praise to God the Father through Him.
Glooorrryyy
Now, let me establish the fact that the only power the devil has is the power to deceive.
Therefore, or battle should be against the rules and trickery of the devil and not the devil himself.
Ephesians 6:11 AMP Put on God’s whole armor [the armor of a heavy-armed soldier which God supplies], that you may be able successfully to stand up against all the strategies and debris of the devil.
Any other approach is actually giving the devil authority and power which he doesn’t have, and he uses that to intimidate us.
Child of God, refuse to be a victim when in reality you have been made a victor in Christ Jesus.
The only weapon Satan has is the power we give him when we believe his lies.
Let me show you the protocols of warfare:
Warfare only takes place between two undefeated foes. Once an enemy has been conquered, the war is over.
Glory be to Abba Father, as it stands now, Satan is a defeated foe.
How long will he stay defeated? FOREVER!
Ecclesiastes 3:14 And I know that whatsoever the Lord doeth it shall be forever…”
Here is my counsel:
LEARN HOW TO PUT THE DEVIL IN HIS PLACE.
How? James 4:7 AMP So be subject to God. Resist the devil [stand firm against him], and he will flee from you.
Oh, glooorrryyy to God!!!
We have a guarantee and it’s an eternal guarantee because it’s coming from the eternal God Himself:
…and he (the devil) will flee from you
So the only reason he hasn’t fled from you and all that concerns you is because you haven’t resisted him in the name of Jesus.
Disengage from the endless warfares… it is simply ignorance gone on rampage!
Arise…
Wake up
Take James 4:7 more seriously
DO IT NOW!
It always works…
“And he will flee from you”
