Luke 10:19 (NKJV) 19 Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
As followers of Christ, we have been given authority.
What does that mean? Who and what do we have authority over? What does that authority do for us?
We have authority over demonic powers. Jesus mentions snakes and scorpions, but this is simply symbolic for demons and evil spirits.
If we have the spirit of God living in us and we are washed in the blood of Jesus, we have the authority to rebuke demons and cast them out in the name of Jesus.
There is no power in hell that can stand up against the name of our Savior. They have to flee, no questions asked.
Having this authority means that we are equipped to live life with power and victory. It doesn’t mean that we will never have battles to fight. It doesn’t mean that we will never go through trials or hard times.
But it does mean that when we face demonic powers, we have the means and the weapons to defeat them. They cannot rule over our lives, unless we let them.
So as we face each day and evil spirits try to attack us, we have what it takes to rebuke them, cast them out and prevent them from ever coming back.
We just need to understand our authority and use it.
