God Wants you to Reign 2

Be vigilant be sober and self-controlled. Your enemy the devil walks around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 1 Peter 5:8

The Bible calls the devil the greatest deceiver of all. A deceiver works under cover of darkness most of the time. I think Christians under estimate the enemy and that is why they assume they can take him down alone. In reality, Christians don’t have to lift a finger when it comes to the devil. He has no power over them. They don’t have to lift a finger. Jesus has already conquered him, disarmed him of all his powers at the cross and won the victory on their behalf! (Colossians 2:15, Romans 8:37)

The devil is well aware of this and that is why he employs scare tactics and temptations. Jesus Himself had to face Satan in the wilderness but He cast him out with scripture. Jesus has already given us His power, His anointing and His authority to cast out demon. The issue is rather or not Christians are willing to put on the full armor of God, take authority and command the demons to leave in the name of Christ. We are protected and it does not matter what we have done. Some people believe that sin remove our protection, but I am telling you that is not possible. Christ did not die on the cross to save us just so can walk away from us when we sin. He loves us enough to forgive our sin and continue to cover us no matter what we do.

Friend, God wants us to reign. Take authority over your circumstances. Don’t be intimidated by the devil’s tactics. Stand firm, use the Word of God, and utilize the name your Jesus. You are more than a conqueror through Him. Sickness, diseases, pain, rejections, lacks and fear have no place in your life. Make 2011 the year that you finally embrace your inheritance and accept you destiny as a child of God.

Praise the Lord!
