THE ENEMY IS BENEATH YOUR FEET: Daily Devotional

Then the seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.” And He said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 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.” - Luke 10:17–19

In Luke 10 we see our Lord Jesus sending out the seventy disciples like “the Lambs among wolves” into the kingdom of darkness. In today's Bible, look at the conversation the Seventy had with the Lord Jesus when he returned. Friends, the authority and authority our Lord Jesus gave them is the authority and authority we believers have today!

Romans 16:20 declares that the God of peace will crush Satan under our feet! He is a defeated enemy. The Bible is very consistent and always has the devil under his feet (Genesis 3:15; Ephesians 1:22). You are not swayed by enemy attacks. Don't put him on the pedestal as he rules you. Remember that in Christ you are “higher than all principalities and might and might and dominion” (Ephesians 1:21), and you will trample down every lion and serpent!

Today, as believers, we use our authority when attacking our enemies. How do I do this? We wield the sword of the Spirit, the Word of God! Our authority, our strength, and our victory are in His Word.

See how the Bible describes the armor of God. Above all else, have the shield of faith. It is able to put out all the fiery arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God” (Ephesians 6:14-17).

Do you see the sword of the Spirit, the Word of God, being the only offensive element of the armor? So whenever the devil attacks our Lord Jesus, we fight it with the sword of the Holy Spirit. He used the written Word of God.

The prayer of protection in Psalm 90 is praying according to the word of God and wielding the sword of the Holy Spirit. So, no matter what reports come to you from doctors, bankers, and the media, sit in a position of authority and follow the scriptures that fit your circumstances. Fight against with the word of God!

Are You Being Led by the Spirit?: Daily Devotional

“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” Romans 8:14 (KJV) Being led by the Spirit of God depends on knowing the voice of the Spirit. The Holy Spirit is a person, meaning that He is a divine personality having the attributes of a person. Therefore, He speaks, sees, feels, and expresses feelings as we do (John 16:13-14). He only speaks the Word of God, so it's easy to hear his voice as you meditate on the scriptures daily. Constantly feeding on God's Word and meditating on it daily builds your heart and makes it easier for you to listen to when He speaks to you. When he speaks, you will feel it in your spirit and know that he is speaking to you; it is an experience that can be confirmed with the Word of God. Knowing how to be led by the Spirit is part of maturity, and God wants each of His children to be led by His Spirit. If you are led by the Spirit of God you will not be disappointed; You will always experience peace, joy, prosperity and vi...

God is Great: Daily Devotional

"Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom." - Psalm 145:3 (NIV) As Christians, we have the privilege of serving a great God.

He created the universe with a word and sustains it by His will. He knows every detail about our lives, and His plans for us are perfect. When we focus on the greatness of our God, it puts all our problems into perspective. No matter what we're going through, we can trust that God is greater than our circumstances.

Let us worship Him in spirit and truth, giving Him the praise and honor He deserves. When we encounter difficulties, let us turn to Him and trust that He will work all thin...

The Peace Of The Lord - Daily Devotional

“ Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. “ - John 14:27 - INSPIRATION - The good Lord we serve has promised us his peace. No matter what the enemy brings in our way, in this world, we still have the promise of our God. He will not leave us either forsaking us. So don't worry when you go through all manner of troubles and crises, He will deliver us from them all and give us eternal peace. When you have no strength to fight your adversary the Lord will battle for you and you will hold your peace.
