God has given you authority over the devil!
“Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall injure you.” (Luke 10:19 NASB)
We need to be aware of what God has already provided so we don’t repeatedly ask Him for what He has already given. Over the last few days and continuing over the next few, I’m sharing some of them with you. Here is another one.
You have authority over the devil!
“…greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.” (1 John 4:4 KJV)
You can stand firm against all the devil’s schemes
“Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.” (Eph. 6:11 NASB)
God crushes Satan under your feet!
“The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.” (Rom. 16:20 NASB)
Submit yourself to God and resist the devil!
“Submit therefore to God Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” (James 4:7 NASB)
Refuse to give the devil an opportunity!
“And do not give the devil an opportunity.” (Eph. 4:27 NASB)
You have power over demonic forces
“The seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name." (Luke 10:17 NASB)
“These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues.” (Mark 16:17 NASB)
“Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give.” (Matt. 10:8 NASB)
“Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are recorded in heaven." (Luke 10:20 NASB)
