We might as well know it: spirits from the realm of Satan have a strong determination to wear us out after we give our lives over to serve the Lord Jesus. But, here is something else for us to know: the Lord Jesus, our Redeemer, has spoiled the principalities and powers who oppose us. Because of His death and resurrection, He has stripped them of their power. Thus, all they have with which to attack us is the lie. Jesus has overcome that because He is the Truth. How do we overcome? By acknowledging Him in our lives. When we know where He lives, we can live as more than conquerors.
Isaiah 59: 19,20—So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him. And the REDEEMER shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.
Psalm 111:9—He sent redemption unto His people: He hath commanded His Covenant for ever: holy and reverend is His Name. NIrV—He set his people free. He made a covenant with them that will last forever. His name is holy and wonderful.
Revelation 12:11—And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. NIrV—They overcame him because the Lamb gave his life's blood for them. They overcame him by giving witness about Jesus to others. They were willing to risk their lives, even if it led to death.
Galatians 2:20—...Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. NIrV—I have been crucified with Christ. I don't live any longer. Christ lives in me. My faith in the Son of God helps me to live my life in my body. He loved me. He gave himself for me.
TO THE OPPRESSOR, I say, “Depart from me in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I declare, my life is free from you!”
PRECIOUS LORD, I open myself to the triumph over Satan that You have won for us. I take my stand on the ground that You have redeemed me. You obtained my redemption by giving your own life blood. Oh, how I praise You! Now, won’t You please open the eyes of these I hold before. Bring understanding to them. Please knock at their heart’s door. Bring the conviction of Your Spirit upon them.
