Satan Is Defeated!

Remember, Satan is caught in the trap of his own deceit which separates him from the reality of God's plan. The reality begins at the cross. The reality is that the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin and delivers us from the power of sin. 1 John 1:7, “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” Romans 8:2, “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.” Therefore the blood of Jesus delivers us from the power of Satan's influence over this mortal body.

The reality is that the tomb could not imprison the Son of God. The power of the Holy Ghost raised Him up exercising the power of God over death, hell and the grave. Thereby we are heirs of the same promise and have inherited the hope of eternal life. The reality is that Jesus ascended to the Father but not before giving a commission to the Church. Matthew 28:18, “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”

The reality is that He did not leave us powerless but sent the gift of the Holy Ghost to take His place. Acts 1:6, “When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? 7And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. 8But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” The reality is that Jesus has given us power and authority to go into the Satan’s domain and take back what the enemy has taken from us. He is a thief and comes to kill, steal and destroy. But Jesus has overcome him and so can we.

The reality is that He is coming again soon. Matt. 28:9, “And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. 10And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; 11Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.”

We have read the end of the Book and know how this ends. Matthew 28:9-11 is our Promise! Our Hope is Revelation 20:10, “And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.” The dominion of sin and death will be no more! “...For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen,” Matt. 6:13.

Let us, in one accord pray, speak and live as we know SATAN IS DEFEATED by the blood of Jesus Christ! And we can all say Amen! God is Almighty and His mercy endures forever!
