The Stripped Foe – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional July 8th

(Principalities Are Under Your Feet)

TO THE BIBLE: Luke 10:19
“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.”

LET’S TALK
“I feel like the devil is winning. Everything keeps going wrong,” David moaned.
“No way! Jesus already beat him up so bad he’s got nothing left. He’s basically Mr Nothing now.

You’re the one with the authority. Next time he tries to flex, just remind him who’s really in charge—you!” Rose fired back.

Satan is a defeated foe. The Lord Jesus despoiled him, stripped him of his armour, and openly triumphed over him. He left him with nothing (Colossians 2:15). T

hus, you can also refer to Satan as “Mr Nothing!” He’s nothing; he’s got nothing, and he can do nothing! He’s not a factor; therefore, never be afraid of him, because you’re superior to him; he doesn’t count.

As a new creation, not only has Jesus given you power and authority to cast Satan out, He also made you superior to him and all his demons. When we became God’s children by being born again, we became one with God; we became one divine creation with our heavenly Father, having His very life.

That life in us makes us the “uninfectable breed!” It makes us superior to Satan and impregnable to sickness, disease and infirmity.

The resurrection of Jesus made a champion of you. The Bible says you were raised together with, and made to sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 2:6).

You’re seated with Christ, far above all principalities and powers. That means you’re superior to them! You occupy the place of authority in Christ, far above Satan and everything that’s connected to him.

So, you don’t have to be afraid of nightmares, pressure from friends, or intimidation at school. Glory to God!

Hebrews 4:14; Hebrews 8:1-3 MSG

Speak:
I’m a new creation in Christ Jesus; I have the life of God in me! I have dominion over sin, sickness and infirmities. I’m superior to Satan, and I’ve overcome the world. I am seated together with Christ in the heavenly realms, far above all principalities and powers, where I reign and rule as a king in this life.
