Look, I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy and you can walk among snakes and scorpions and crush them. Nothing will injure you.
– Luke 10:19(NLT)
AUTHORITY OVER THE ENEMY
A poem and essay by ILMA
Are you aware of your enemy’s tactics?
Do you allow him to use his tricks?
Believers are given authority over the enemy
Exercise it by keeping peace and embracing humility.
If you believe in Christ, you have nothing to worry
His sacrifice on the cross has granted you victory
You need to expose the lies with God’s word
Keep a close relationship with the Lord.
Are you aware that you have an unseen enemy daily who attacks you every moment they can sneak? Ephesians 6:12 tells us that we are not fighting against flesh and blood enemies but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world. They are invisible so we must be able to sense and discern when they are attacking. Sadly, many Christians are not even aware of this truth and that’s why the enemy easily manipulates them like puppets.
The bible tells us that we have authority over the enemy and we need not fear because we can walk amongst them and crush them. Nothing can hurt us when we are God’s people.
PRAYER
Lord, help me to have the confidence to exercise my authority over the enemy.
REFLECTION
Why is it important to wear God’s armor at all times?
