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!

God Hasn't Finished with You: Daily Devotional

“Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:” Philippians 1:6 (KJV) Completing a task depends on who you trust. Confidence is the feeling or belief that you can do something well or be successful at something. Trust in God is the only trust encouraged to have a child of God (Proverbs 3:26). That trust does not give up, despite the negative pressures of the devil, the world, your friends, or even your loved ones. Dear brethren, have you recognized the good work that God has begun in you? If so, then keep trusting and praising Him, praying more than before, declaring more of God's Word to yourself, meditating on the Scriptures, fasting from time to time, and giving alms; all of these activities will sustain you until God completes His good work in you (Isaiah 55:11). Hallelujah! Be a winner! ©️Copyright 2022 The Prophet Kingsford Cudjoe Ministries All rights reserved und...

STAND STILL: Daily Devotional

“Listen, all you of Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat! Thus says the Lord to you: ‘Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s. . . You will not need to fight in this battle. Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, who is with you, O Judah and Jerusalem!’ Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them, for the Lord is with you.” - 2 Chronicles 20:15, 17 INSPIRATION When King Jehoshaphat and the little tribe of Judah were besieged on all fronts by three powerful and bloody armies advancing rapidly towards Jerusalem (2 Chron. 20), the king began to seek the Lord and pray with hope before the entire congregation of Judah. This is when the Spirit of the Lord came upon Jahaziel, who spoke the words of the Lord which we read in today's Scripture. When Judah heard these words of hope, he humbled himself before the Lord, bowing to him and worshipping him....
