Today’s New Covenant nugget is from Luke 10:19
Behold, I give you the authority to trample on (demonic) serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of (satan) the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
The Passion Translation says, “Now you understand that I have imparted to you all my authority to trample over his (the devil’s) kingdom. You will trample upon every demon before you and overcome every power satan possesses. Absolutely nothing will be able to harm you as you walk in this authority.”
YOU HAVE POWER AND AUTHORITY OVER THE DEVIL, POWERS OF DARKNESS AND OVER EVERY WORK OF THE DEVIL, IN JESUS NAME!
WHY IS THAT SO IMPORTANT?
Ephesians 6:11-12 says, that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, (external or physical things) but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Whatever you are struggling with or challenged by, including sickness, lack, relational issues, depression or fear, the source of your struggle is not a person, a physical thing or a external circumstantial thing… the source of every problem that you are facing is caused by principalities, powers, the rulers of the darkness of this age, and by spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Sickness is caused by a spirit of infirmity, poverty by a spirit of poverty, fear by a spirit of fear… here is a partial list of some of the spirits of darkness named in the bible that are attacking humanity… the spirit of jealousy – a spirit of ill will - a distressing spirit - the spirit of judgment - the spirit of burning - the spirit of heaviness - the spirit of harlotry - an unclean spirit - a spirit of infirmity – a deaf and dumb spirit - the spirit of bondage – the spirit of fear - a spirit of stupidity – the spirit of error - the spirit of the Antichrist
EVERY BAD, HARMFUL, DESTRUCTIVE THING IS A WORK OF THE DEVIL AND HAS A POWER OF DARKNESS WORKING IT – THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT YOU HAVE POWER OVER THE DEVIL, SPIRITS OF DARKNESS AND OVER EVERY WORK OF THE DEVIL!
EVERY GOOD AND PERFECT THING COMES FROM OUR HEAVENLY FATHER OF LIGHT, AND EVERY BAD, DESTRUCTIVE THING COMES FROM THE FATHER OF DARKNESS!
WE HAVE TO DISCERN THAT EVERYTHING TO DO WITH COVID-19 IS A WORK OF THE DEVIL!
MUCH OF WHAT WE ARE DEALING WITH IN THESE LAST DAYS IS THE SPIRIT OF ANTICHRIST!
2 Thessalonians 2:6-10 (NLT)
6-7 And you know what is holding him (Antichrist) back, for he can be revealed only when his time comes. For this lawlessness is already at work secretly, and it will remain secret until the one who is holding it back (The one who restrains) steps out of the way.
8 Then the man of lawlessness will be revealed, but the Lord Jesus will slay him with the breath of his mouth and destroy him by the splendor of his coming.
9-10 This man will come to do the work of Satan with counterfeit power and signs and miracles. He will use every kind of evil deception to fool those on their way to destruction, because they refuse to love and accept the truth that would save them.
WE (THE CHURCH) ARE CORPORATELY ‘THE ONE WHO RESTRAINS’. ONLY THE CHURCH HAS BEEN GIVEN AUTHORITY OVER ALL THE WORK OF THE ENEMY!
WHEN YOU SEE SICKNESS, SEE A DEVIL
WHEN YOU SEE FEAR, SEE A DEVIL
WHEN YOU SEE BONDAGE AND CONTROL, SEE A DEVIL
DISCERN AND SEE THAT WE ARE BEING ATTACKED BY DEVILS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO US!
WE HAVE BEEN PLACED HERE BY JESUS, FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS TO BIND EVERY WORK OF THE DEVIL, IN JESUS NAME!
DO NOT BE PASSIVE – BE ASSERTIVE, USE YOUR AUTHORITY, AND RULE AS A KING AND A PRIEST IN CHRIST!
