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!

LET JESUS SAVE YOU : Daily Devotional

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. - Psalm 46:1 Do you think that you are working hard but the results are not coming out? You may feel like you are at a dead end in your career. Or maybe everything you've tried to save your marriage isn't working. Perhaps your hard work has to do with raising children. No matter how much effort you put into your child, your relationship is getting colder every day. My friend, now is not the time to give up, but to listen to your wonderful Savior, Jesus. Listen to him. Instead of relying on your experience and knowledge, rely on Him. you are not alone. Our Lord Jesus told Peter to cast “nets” (plural in Luke 5:4). The request made no sense to Peter because he and his fishermen worked all night and caught nothing. Nevertheless, Peter said in the singular, “You say, I will let down my nets” (Luke 5:5). Naturally, the net began to break and Peter had to call his friends for h...

WHO IS THE HOLY SPIRIT?: Daily Devotional

And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever (John 14:16 AMPC). The Holy Spirit is not smoke or a cloud, nor is He a light. He's not a thing! The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Godhead. This is because He is the last of the Trinity known to us! In Genesis 1:1, God was introduced to us as “Elohim” (Hebrew). "Elohim" is the Hebrew plural for God. We are told in the second verse that "the Spirit of God hovered upon the face of the deep." Although the Holy Spirit is the first to be revealed from "Elohim", he is the last known to us because of what Jesus said to his disciples in John 14:16-17: "And I will pray the Father, and he will give you another comforter who will be with you forever; Even the spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive because it does not see him and does not know him, but you do know him; ...

Happiness - Daily Devotional

Bible Verse: "This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it." - Psalm 118:24 Happiness is something that we all desire and seek in our lives. It is a feeling of contentment, joy, and satisfaction. As Christians, we know that our ultimate source of happiness is God. However, sometimes in our daily lives, we can get caught up in the challenges and struggles we face, and we forget to be happy and grateful for what we have. The Bible verse above reminds us that every day is a gift from God, and we should rejoice and be glad in it. No matter what we may face in our daily lives, we can always find something to be grateful for and something to be happy about. It could be something as small as a beautiful sunrise, a kind word from a friend, or a moment of peace in our hearts. As Christians, we have the assurance that no matter what we face, God is with us, and He will never leave us or forsake us. This should bring us great joy and happiness, even in the mids...
