"Jesus said: I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you."
Authority: the right to control, command, determine or trample on.
Spiritual warfare is tremendous. It is one of the things that every born-again Christian is mandated. But sadly, the majority are terrified of the words "spiritual warfare" because they don't understand it, so therefore will not act on it.
The easiest and most common form of spiritual warfare is prayer. Simple prayer. Prayer for protection. Prayer for guidance. Prayer for healing. Intercessory prayer. Prayers of praise. Any kind of prayer is spiritual warfare. When you are in prayerful communication with Christ, you are OUT OF communication with the devil, therefore you are stepping on his head and overcoming his power. When you are reading your Bible, you are in warfare. Filling your heart and mind with the pure word of the Lord is a direct assault at hell. It overcomes ALL the power of the enemy.
One thing that Satan does not want to become revelation knowledge in your spirit, is that HE IS DEFEATED. Oh, we all have that head knowledge, but not many LIVE in this spirit revelation. That is something Satan is effectively preventing from happening in the Body of Christ.
Jesus Christ gave us His authority to overcome the powers of hell. That's like a king giving you his signet ring; or the President of the U.S. sending you on a mission as his personal delegate; or you giving one of your children a note authorizing them to make a withdrawal at the bank in your name. Carte blanche. Unconditional authority. Full discretionary power. Step on that devil and tell him just exactly who is in charge !!!!! And it's not him !!!
When you are centered in Christ and you exercise your spiritual authority, Jesus promised nothing will harm you! Do you believe what Jesus said? Then step up and take charge of your spiritual life. It is a Christ Command, not a Sacred Suggestion. He's given us the authority and tools, what are you waiting for?
I saw a cartoon of 2 grandmotherly-types bent over the prone body of the devil. He had several lumps on his head and the one lady had her foot on his back and her arm with her pocketbook raised to clobber him again. The caption read "He TRIED to steal my joy !!!!" There ya go. Don't let hell steal what has rightfully been given to you by God Almighty. Use your God-given authority and become an overcomer.
Do you need to make a new battle plan? Seek your commander-in-chief, He will lay it all out for you.
"Sweet Jesus, strengthen me for battle. Teach me to use the power you have given me that I might truly be an overcomer. I give you my fear and trepidation and I ask for holy boldness that I may accomplish your will for my life. I receive Your Spirit of power and love and a sound mind. Protect me, I pray. Amen."
