POWER TO OVERCOME

LIGHT FOR THE WAY

TOPIC: POWER TO OVERCOME

TEXT:  Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you (Luke 10:19).

Life definitely isn’t a problem-free bed of roses! While we know this is true, we also shouldn’t expect it to be a bed of poison ivy either! As believers we need to look at our lives and know that we have the ability to overcome the problems that are caused by demonic powers. We shouldn’t live in fear of some pending attack lurking around the corner. We need a stronger mind-set that is confident that Jesus Christ will enable us to live in victory above these things. Jesus told His disciples that they could walk over the power of the devil. He reiterated to them that nothing has the power to harm them. This explains why He could escape the hands of His would-be killers early in His ministry (see Luke 4:30). It explains why Peter could be broken out of prison by an angel just before his scheduled execution (see Acts 12). I once heard someone say, “If the devil could kill you, he would have already done so, but the fact that he hasn’t means he cannot!”

We need more established confidence today that we have the power to walk over the attacks of demons rather than them walking over us. Know what belongs to you today, because the devil and all his power is under your feet!
