Power To Overcome The Enemy

"You see, I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpians and to overcome all the power of the Enemy, so that nothing will harm you." - Luke 10:19

Jesus said this to a group of His followers after they began to see the work they were accomplishing in His Name. Two thousand years later, He tells you and I the same message again. By being His followers, He gives us the authority to overcome evil. Every obstacle, every temptation, every negative energy around us, Christ has empowered us to destroy!

The next time you find yourself facing a strong temptation or involved in a sin, remember that in Christ, you can defeat anything the devil throws at you, for Your Lord and Savior will be there to give you the strength to overcome!

Not only that, but when you're depressed, when you're nervous and have anxiety, or it just isn't your day, don't doubt for a second that that's the work of the devil trying to rob you of your joy. He's a thief and doesn't deserve an ounce of your energy. Jesus Christ has defeated him and as His believers you have the power to overcome any adversity!

What are you scared of? What do you fear? Jesus Christ has given His life so that we can break away from all evil that holds us down. Believe in this and exercise this power so that you may experience the power of God.

Today's Prayer:
Lord Jesus, in all of my difficulties and through adversity, help me to always remember that You are my God and You have given me power over the devil to defeat him and all the traps he has laid out for me. Keep me firm in You. In Your Name we pray, Amen.
