HEY DEVIL!

God has all power and the devil (satan) only has the power you give him. He is a liar and a deceiver, and if you listen to him at all, he will steal from you every time. The devil only comes to kill, steal, and destroy. Although God and the devil are at war, we don't have to wait until the end to see who will win. God has already defeated satan (Revelation 12:10-12), and when Christ returns, the devil and all he stands for will be eliminated forever (Revelation 20:10-15).

Satan is here now, however, and he is trying to win us over to his evil cause. With the Holy Spirit's power, we can resist the devil, and he will flee from us. Yes, the power of God is strong enough to give you victory every time! We as believers have to remember the power of the cross and the power of the resurrection. The blood of Jesus paid for our freedom, and the resurrection gave us authority over everything that comes against the will of God in our lives. The same resurrection power that raised Jesus from the dead lives within all those who belong to Him. So we have no need to be defeated or afraid, because we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.

It's time we as believers live at our fullest potential and walk in all the authority that has been provided. No more excuses as to why we can’t be all God has called us to be. You have purpose and a God-given destiny that is more awesome than you can imagine. God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all you can ask or think. Yes, that’s right, your biggest dreams don’t even come close to the magnificent plan God has for your life.

Today draw a line in the sand, enough is enough, make up your mind that you will no longer live beneath your privileges, and that you will no longer allow the devil to steal the promises God has given you. It doesn’t matter what you are facing, nothing takes God by surprise because He has already worked it out. Through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus, He has given you the power and authority to look the devil in the face and command him to get behind you! Even the demons tremble at the name of Jesus! Live your life submitted to the Father, and the devil will always have to submit to you.

Prayer: Dear Father, thank you for the authority I have in Jesus. I have total victory over the devil in every area of my life because of the cross. The blood of Jesus protects me from all harm. In Jesus' name, Amen!

Declaration: I am the head and not the tail, above only and not beneath, and the devil has no place and no authority in my life.
