VICTORS IN CHRIST

Joshua 10:24 NLT When they brought them out, Joshua told the commanders of his army, “Come and put your feet on the kings’ necks.” And they did as they were told.

The Israelites had just had an astounding day. Joshua had called on God for the sun and the moon to stand still while they fought until God gave them a massive victory over five kings and their armies. Those five kings were then imprisoned in a cave awaiting judgement.

God gives us a vivid picture of Joshua telling his commanders and captains to put their feet on the necks of their enemies just before killing them with a sword, and impaling them on spikes! He wanted everybody to see what happens to the forces who fight against the living God, and what victories God has for those who fight with Him and for Him.😊

Jesus is our Commander in Chief, the Lord of Heaven’s armies and we are His soldiers. He won total victory for us over all our enemies, including every demonic force, principality or power, by His death and resurrection.

Colossians 2:15 Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it. This tells us Jesus held a victory parade where He spoiled those powers which means He disarmed them, rendered them powerless to hurt us, shamed them and impaled them for all to see. Jesus stripped the principalities and powers of their armour to the point of nakedness!

Now Jesus says to us, see yourself putting your foot on the necks of all your enemies because they’re already defeated by My blood, My name, by My power within you. See yourself with your foot on whatever is threatening you, whatever is causing you grief, fear or distress. 

You are the victor because you are ‘in Christ’ and Christ and His victory are in you! Hallelujah!😊
