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!

The importance of prayer - Daily Devotional

Bible Verse: "Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus." - 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Prayer is one of the most important aspects of a Christian's life. It is our way of communicating with God, and through prayer, we can pour out our hearts, express our gratitude, and ask for guidance and help. Prayer is a powerful tool that can change our lives and the lives of those around us. In 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, Paul urges us to "rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus." This verse reminds us that prayer is not just something we do when we need something from God, but it should be a constant part of our lives. We should pray continually, not just when we are in trouble or need help, but also in times of joy and thanksgiving. Through prayer, we can strengthen our relationship with God and seek His will for our lives. When w...

NEVER LOOK DOWN ON YOURSELF: Daily Devotional

“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” Genesis 1:27 (KJV) God Most High rejoiced when He created mankind because they are the only creation made in His image. Both male and female are in the image of God, which means we were created in the image of God (Genesis 1:26). God is spirit, so we are spirits in human bodies (John 4:24). God has a will and so do we. He has emotions and he brings them into us. In fact, He has given us a little bit of all His attributes. However, the sin that led to the downfall of mankind brought corruption and decay into our lives, but thanks be to Jesus Christ who has given us authority over sin and death (1 Corinthians 15:57). He has also given us the authority to live victorious on this earth. Dear beloved, whether you are a man or a woman, be happy and thank God for your spirit, soul and body. Never belittle any aspect of yourself. Start praising and thanking God for that part of y...
