(Luke 10:19)
Jesus gave all believers power and authority over the devil and his demons. You should no longer be concerned with what the devil is trying to do on the earth. Your focus should be on the things that God has called you to do. Because of the power and authority that has been invested in you by the head of the church, there is nothing that can stop what God has called you to do.
People are never blessed by hearing what the devil has done. Faith comes by hearing the Word of God. As you talk about the Word and the mighty things that God has done, people will be encouraged and set free.
It is up to you to stomp on serpents and scorpions (evil spirits and demons). You can walk on them because of the shed blood of Jesus and the authority you have been given. As you use that authority, you have God’s Word that “…nothing shall by any means hurt you.”
Make this your daily confession: Nothing shall by any means hurt me or my family. Expect to live free from accidents, robberies, natural disasters, disease, and the assault of evil men. God’s Word is your shield of defense. Put your faith in it for total immunity from all the works of the devil.
