"I am the body of Christ, and Satan has no power over me"
Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually
(1 Corinthians 12:27)
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 10:19).
In today's teaching we are reminded that Satan has no power over us. This means we do not have to journey through this life afraid of what the enemy can do to us! Jesus gave us authority to trample on serpents, scorpions, and over all of the power of the enemy, he then took it a step further and said nothing shall by any means hurt us. Let's look at the word trample. The dictionary defines it this way:
"to tread heavily, roughly, or carelessly over; to tread underfoot, to domineer harshly over; to crush, to put out or extinguish by trampling.”
What is God saying to us? He is saying that He has given us power to domineer harshly over, crush, and extinguish the power of the enemy. Praise God!
Jesus dominated the enemy at every turn. In Mark 5:8, He said to the devil, "Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit." Jesus spoke with authority; He didn't say, "Satan, if you don't mind, would you please come out of that man?" No, Jesus knew who He was and He knew He had authority over the enemy. Well, it is time you and I become aware of and STAND FIRM in who we are in Christ and exercise the power God has given to us! God is the difference maker in our lives. In order to trample over the power of the devil, we must allow Him to help us change how we see ourselves. God sees us as victorious, powerful, and triumphant through His son Jesus Christ and it is imperative we see ourselves the same way. You are the body of Christ, and Satan has no power over you!
Ladies, I am praying for you as you embark upon this journey. Stay om course. Do not allow anything to get in the way. God is doing GREAT and MIGHTY things in your life!.
"Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:57)."
