Destroy the Enemy's Forces

                                                                                       
War Requires Warriors

Warriors Must Have the Tenacity to Overcome Their Enemies 







Man's Authority Over the Earth

God gave the first man Adam, authority over the earth and its fullness when he was created.
Genesis 1:26-28. 

God made man just a bit lower than Himself and gave to man His authority over the world.          
Psalm 8:4-6 

Now the earth is not under man’s control.
Hebrews 2:6-8

Satan mentioned that the authority of the kingdoms of this world was delivered to him and that he could give that authority to Jesus if He would bow down and worship him.  This was a legitimate temptation. 
Luke 4:4-5  

When Adam sinned, he broke fellowship with God and so also for the entire human race. He gave away the authority that God originally gave to him at creation.

 Satan's Kingdom

Satan's kingdom consists of principalities, powers and rulers of the darkness of this world and spiritual wickedness in high places.  
Ephesians 6:12

Jesus Disarmed Satan of his Authority

 Jesus knew that He would legally reclaim the lost authority of man in His death and resurrection!

Jesus disarmed the principalities and powers, making a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it (at the cross).
Colossians 2:15

                                                     
Jesus disarmed Satan of the authority He received from Adam when he sinned, and then He gave that authority back to the church!

When Jesus was raised from the dead, He was seated beside the Father.  Far above all principalities and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the age to come. 


He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.         
Ephesians 1:21-23

Jesus is Lord of the armies of heaven and  He fights with the armies of the earth.

The forces of light are far more superior than the forces of darkness and Satan has already been defeated through the cross.   



Man's Authority Over This World Is Restored  

Jesus didn’t defeat the devil for Himself, He already had authority over him.
Luke 10:17-19 

He defeated Satan as a man, the second Adam, or the Last Adam.
1 Corinthians 15:45-47 

Jesus represented the human race so that we too could exercise authority over our adversary who “walks about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.”
1 Peter 5:8-9

In the light of Jesus’ position in heaven, God raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
Ephesians 2:6

 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in me, the works that I do will he do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to the Father”
John 14:12 

What that means is that we share the very authority that Jesus has over Satanic forces seeking to harm us!



Authority In Jesus' Name

His name represents His person, His position, His seating, and His authority!

His name is above every name! Every demon force must bow to the name Jesus!
Philippians 2:9-11

The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.”                                             
Jesus replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.
Luke 10:17-18

They have been given power and authority over all devils.  
Matt. 10:1   

They have authority to tread upon snakes and scorpions and nothing will hurt them. 
Luke 10:19


Believers have the authority to bind the strongman and strip him of his armor.

Jesus Has Given Us the Unqualified Use of His Name in His absence.

Jesus’ name will accomplish everything that He can accomplish, without Him personally being present!                                                                                         
"If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.”
John 14:14
Then why are so many Christians sick, depressed and oppressed?  

Why are believers losing to a loser and why are they being defeated by an enemy who has already been defeated?  


In order to destroy the powers of darkness, believers must operate in the authority Jesus gave them. 

David was a king who experienced the power of victory in warfare. He had many victories over his enemies.  He prayed for the defeat of his enemies and God answered him.  

Every time you or your family are attacked with sickness, disease, or physical weakness of any kind, rise up in the Name of Jesus and command Satan to take his hands off of you,  your family members and your friends!

If you lie down and do nothing when attacked, Satan will dominate you. That’s what most believers do today!

When confronted with financial lack, oppression, depression, fear, weakness, failure, or anything else that steals, kills, and destroys, rise up in the Name of Jesus and command Satan's power to be broken over your life, family and friends.   No one has more authority in your life and family than you do!

Everyday, submit yourself afresh to Jesus’ Lordship over you, and then command Satan and his forces to back off and leave your family, your church, your nation, alone in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ!

Don’t wait until a crisis arises. Assert your rights in Christ Jesus against Satan today.  Disarm him and take away His power and control, before succeeds in destroying you and your family.  

We overcome by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of our testimony.
Rev. 12:11

Because of Jesus, we are already made more than conquerors.
Romans 8:37

The Power of Victory in Warfare

Believers can have can experience  victory over their spiritual enemies.  

The strategy in warfare is to destroy and rout the forces of darkness by releasing the angelic armies of heaven. 

The warriors of Christ must overcome principalities and powers with the armor of God.  

They must take up the sword of the Spirit and the shield of faith to fight the fiery darts of the evil one. Eph. 6:12-18

The source of power is the Holy Spirit and the Word of God.  

Life and death are in the power of the tongue.  
Prov. 18:21  

The words we speak are spirit and life.  
John 6:63

Pray and confess God's Word.  God's Word released through your tongue will cause His power to manifest in your life.  

The battle has already been won.  Believers have the victory over every demonic spirit through the blood of Jesus.
