MY FRIENDS, AT CHRIST WEAKEST MOMENT, ON THE CROSS, SATAN STILL COULD NOT DEFEAT HIM!!
“He [or she] who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. ”Revelation 3:21 (KJV) My friends we are assured of victory in this spiritual war between good and evil. “Christ did not yield up His life untill He had accomplished the work which He came to do.
In addition, with His parting breath and at His weakest moment, Christ defeated this fallen foe who had claimed “in [his] heart, I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God, and I will sit on the mount of assembly In the recesses of the north. ‘I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.” Isaiah 14:13-14 (NASB)
And with His parting breath, Christ cried out “It is finished.” Because He knew the battle had been won. “His right hand and His holy arm had gotten Him the victory. As a Conqueror He planted His banner on the eternal heights…..Satan was defeated, and knew that his kingdom was lost.” (E.G. White It Is Finished)
My friends, now we must defeat Satan in all areas of our life as we allow God’s Spirit to give us the power over Satan’s stronghold over us, which begins when we give him permission to enter our lives when there is a total disregard of Gods laws of love. Remember, as the “god of this world” where we abide as aliens in a foreign country, he has the legitimate right to influence and harass us.
This world is his kingdom, until God say’s to His Son, let’s go get my faithful Children who have endured. In addition, John 1:12 (KJV) tells us “But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, He gave the right to become children of God.” Also, we need to know our rights and privileges, as a Child of God.
Psalm 8:4-6 (KJV) says “What is man [and woman] that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him? For You have made [them] a little lower than the angels, And you have crowned [them] with glory and honor. You have made [them] to have dominion over the works of Your hands; you have put all things under [their] feet.”
In addition, we need to know what power and authority we have as Gods children against Satan. Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 (KJV) what that power is “The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.
We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” My friends, as “heirs of God and joint-heirs with Jesus Christ” it is important to pray without ceasing so we may stay focused as we take the good news to all who are blinded by the stronghold of Satan as they live with no hope or the power to be set free.
As Christians and believers in Jesus Christ and Him crucified, we have the power through the cross where Satan was defeated to take authority over the enemy, as we call out His name as Peter “when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!” And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him,. Matt 14:30-31 (NKJV)
So friends stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
