Take A Stand

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 NKJV)

Jesus is stating a fact that satan was losing territory and influence where the disciples stepped in and exercised their authority. That territory was being diminished from Satan because of the assignment and authority the disciples were fulfilling.

Whenever, believers exercise their authority in Christ, satan loses power not only in their personal life but in the territories where he tries to gain a foot-hold. We must continue to confront and kick him out according to the word of God.

“John Calvin said it is the task of the church to make the invisible kingdom visible.” The only way the kingdom of God is going to be manifest in this world before Christ comes is if we manifest it by the way we live.

It is our responsibility to keep affirming that God saves, heals, delivers, comforts, restores, bind up the broken hearts as we teach, preach, pray, intercede, prophesy, evangelize, lay hands on the sick, feed the hungry, visit those in prison, clothed those that are without and love the unloveable!
