WE HAVE AUTHORITY

Isaiah 54:17 No weapon formed against you shall proper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgement, you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from me, says the Lord.

It’s always good to have the word of God inside us so it can come out of us when we need it, especially when we’re under attack from the things Satan brings against us. We need to know who we are in Jesus and what we have been given by God, and it never does any harm to be reminded so we don’t forget.😊

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’ words are for all of us and He says He’s given us authority over ALL the power of the enemy! The trouble is we either don’t believe Him or we forget we have it and allow the enemy to put things on us.

Today the Lord is reminding us that we’re not helpless, hopeless or defenceless! Jesus told us He has equipped us with His authority over everything that comes against us, whether it’s voices speaking against us, or actual harm in any area of our lives. He warned weapons will rise up against us, but He told us to take authority over those things to stop them and they wont succeed. We have to do it!

If we can just remember that and use the authority God has given us, we won’t get trampled on by the devil. We can declare the protection of the blood of Jesus, and use the mighty name of Jesus against whatever tries to kill, steal or destroy any part of our lives. We can use God’s Word in our mouths as a sword to defeat Satan. He will have to flee if we resist him.

Praise God we can be encouraged by reminding ourselves, and telling the enemy,   - 

‘Jesus has given me power and authority over all the power of the enemy 
and no weapon formed against me will succeed.’
