The Lies of War (Part 2)

The Lies of War (Part 2)

God has planned for you to face your trials, temptations,  circumstances, and every attack of the enemy–from the powerful position of knowledge of His Word. Satan’s deceptive strategy is to keep you in a position of spiritual ignorance. He will do everything possible to stop you from knowing the truth and recognizing your position of power and authority over him. Through these strategies, he will attempt to stop you from reaching your divine promise and destiny. 
 

Take note of what Jesus did:

-He gave His twelve disciples power and authority over “all devils” in Luke 9:1. 

-He appointed seventy disciples and gave them power over all the power of the enemy in Luke 10:19.  

When the disciples returned from their first mission they were rejoicing, saying, “Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name” in Luke 10:17. They were amazed that they had power over evil spirits.  

Jesus told these disciples in Luke 10:19: 

“Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the over of the enemy…” 

Satan was not in control. God was in control.  The disciples were given supernatural power over all the power of the enemy. You have that same power available to you today. 

-Jesus was anointed by the Holy Spirit, 

-He was given authority over Satan.

-He delegated that same power to His followers.  

-He confronted sickness, deformity, sin, and death with the power of Almighty God.  

You have that same authority to confront all the power of the enemy and remind the devil he is a defeated foe.   

Think about it:

-Jesus took authority over the enemy. 

-He rebuked the power of Satan and cast out devils simply by speaking the Word. 

-He spoke, and devils trembled and fled.  

The people did not understand how a man could have such authority and they actually accused Jesus of casting out devils by Beelzebub, the chief of devils. Some people still don't believe the power of Christ, and if you listen to their lies you can let down your guard and lose the war.

Jesus never begged God for power to confront evil forces, nor did He pray long prayers.  He took authority over the works of the enemy.  Jesus has given you this same amazing power and authority over the enemy. The only questions is:  Will you use it?
