JESUS HAS ALL POWER
After His Resurrection, Jesus these Words :
“All powers in heaven and earth has been given under me. Therefore go and make disciples in all nations . And be sure of this : l am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Mt 28:18
The word “POWER” in the Bible always means power to Rule, to take Dominion and Authority. ALL simply means that the devil has none. .Through His death, Jesus has dethroned him.
“l am the first and the last,l died but see l am alive forever have the keys of death and the grave.”
Rev 1: 17,18.
JESUS Gave Power To Believers:–
He gave the same power and Authority to His disciples and believers
The70 disciples He sent returned with great joy saying ” Lord even the demons submit to us in your name And Jesus said to them” Yes”, ! I saw Satan falling from heaven like a lightening flash. These signs shall follow those who believe. Mark 16 :17. So we have no reason to fear demons, it is they who tremble in our presenc. It is most important to know who we are in Christ Jesus.
If your name is written in Heaven ,it will be known in hell .!Those who turn away from the Lord or don’t believe in Him will be written in the earth. Because they have turned away from the spring of the Living Water.Earthly powers and positions are for a moment when compared to eternity.
PURPOSE OF GOD:–
God has a purpose in our lives. Our names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life to evangelize the earth. The devil knows it and trembles .We have authority on earth. But we have to have a childlike Faith and right relationship with Jesus. God delights in using His children to defeat the enemy. He chose a young shepherd to slay the giant Goliath. He has chosen poor,foolish and weak to shame the rich and wise.It means God can choose any of His children to defeat the devil if they know who they are in Him.
DEVIL’S WEAPON IS DECEPTION:—
The reason for so many defeated Christians is DECEPTION of devil. He deceives by his lies. Jesus said “ “He is the father of all lies “. If we believe his lies as Eve did in the garden of Eden, then he will gain a foothold in our lives to destroy ; if there’s no resistance from us.lt we become weak ,his next step is to accuse us , condemn us and make us feel guilty to hide from the Holy God; instead of Repenting and asking for Forgiveness, forgetting that He is our loving and forgiving Father.
Testimony :–
Jesus was crushed , broken ,derided , beaten and humiliated before he was asked to carry a heavy and rugged cross to be brutally, mercilessly nailed on it for sins of the wholeworld.
Prayer:–
Thank you Lord for that pain, sorrow and slights you bore and the heavy price you paid on that Cross where our names were written .We repent of all our misdeeds ,please forgive us Lord , our manyfold sins and mistakes ,in your Holy name we pray. Amen.
