Luke 10:19 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.
Jesus Himself gave us His authority over all the power of the enemy which is wonderful. Maybe we've been conned into thinking we can't do much about the devil's attacks, that he's supposedly so powerful that we just lie down and let him ride over us but God wants us to know that is not true! Jesus has defeated the devil.
He wants to remind us all today, that we do have authority over the enemy right now because Jesus has had all authority given to Him (Matthew 28:18) and He has given that authority to us to use, to bring strongholds down in our lives, and others' lives too. (Mark 16:17)
Isaiah 54:17 No weapon formed against you shall proper, ....
Yes the enemy forms weapons against us but God has said they wont succeed and it'll help if we get that truth down in our spirits. We can't stop the enemy forming weapons against us but we do have authority over them and the enemy himself, and we're told to resist him (James 4:7) and do something about it.
As long as we remember we're not doing it on our own authority or in our own strength, which wouldn't work anyway, but on Jesus' great authority and in Jesus' great strength, He will help us demolish strongholds.
Remember we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us and that includes using our God given authority over the enemy. Thank You Lord.
