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 believers, followers of Christ, we have been given authority over evil powers… powers of darkness.
This includes demonic spirits; spirits of lust, spirits of infirmity, spirits of addiction, lying spirits, deaf spirits, dumb spirits, and any other kind of evil spirit. They are subject to us, by power of the name of Jesus Christ.
Jesus told us that we have the authority over them, to trample on them. If we are trampling on something, it means that it is under our feet! There is no lower place to be than under someone’s feet. So this should tell us just how much power we have over them.
Sadly, many of us live defeated lives, weighted down by things that should have no power over us at all. We struggle with addictions. We shrink back from the devil, believing that he has some kind of power over our lives. We lie, steal and cheat and so many other things.
Why? Because we give in to temptation easily. We forget that we are children of the King, the Most High God who rules over heaven and earth! And because of this, we live lives that are mediocre and weak.
It’s time for us to break out of this funk and take a stand against these things that are constantly pulling us down!
No, it won’t always be easy, and it can sometimes take a few tries to get it right, but we can do it!
Mark 16:17 (NKJV) 17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons…
So we urge each person reading this to step out in authority and take a stand against the evil that would try to dominate our lives and tie our hands behind our backs.
Rise up, in the name of Jesus!
