Sermon Series: “The Resurrection Series”

 Sermon (Part 4)”Every One, Enjoy The Praise Parade: Satan The Defeated Foe Has No Power Over Us!”

Good morning Saints of the Most High God, and praise the Holy name of Jesus Christ, the Lord forevermore! I have truly enjoyed this Resurrection Series, and hope you have too. Now, watch this, turn to Matthew 28:18, it reads:

And Jesus came and spoke unto them, saying,

All power is given unto me in heaven and on earth.

In this passage of Scripture, Jesus Christ is talking to His disciples, who would soon become Apostles of the Lord. In the same manner, Jesus Christ—who is the same yesterday, to day, and forever—is talking to His Church and every Christian. (Heb. 13:8)

Sometimes I think the body of Christ (The Church) has forgotten that Jesus Christ has “ALL POWER” in heaven and on earth. Let’s affirm this truth in you right now—say “All Power belongs to Jesus Christ!”

God, the Father, gave “ALL POWER” to His only begotten Son Jesus Christ after He achieved our redemption on the cross and Resurrection from the dead on the third-day. Before the foundations of the world, Jesus Christ enjoyed and shared equally with God and the Holy Ghost “ALL POWER,” but when Jesus became flesh (man), he became limited in his authority while ministering on earth as the son of man. After His Resurrection, God restored to Jesus Christ His former and full glory. (Php. 2:7 and John 17:5)

Now, in Matthew 28:18, the word “power” in the Greek translation is “Exousia.” It conveys the meaning of one who has been delegated authority, jurisdiction, liberty, right, power, and strength.

Excuse me, but the last time I checked, “ALL” means “ALL” (leaving nothing without, absolute, or complete) So, when Jesus Christ told the Apostles that he had been given “ALL POWER,” that leaves Satan with no power!!! 

Our adversary the devil, Satan, the Wicked One, Great Red Dragon, Father of lies—whatever you want to call him, has been defeated by Jesus Christ through His finished works on the cross, and he has no authority; certainly none in heaven, and never again any authority here on earth over those who believe in and place their trust in God in Christ Jesus. 

Satan and the kingdom of darkness still exists, and he remains a master deceiver of people, using those that yield to him to work evil and rebellion in the earth. However, at the appointed time by God—Satan and every fallen angel will be brought into captivity, bow down, and confess Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God. (Php. 2:10-11)

Oh yes, everything created in the heavenly realm, earthly realm, and demonic realm will confess that Jesus Christ is the “Master!” And, ultimately, Satan and every fallen angel will be cast into the lake of fire for eternity.

In the meantime, the amazing good news we have is, to all those who will believe in and receive Jesus Christ as Lord, God through Christ Jesus gives the power (Exousia) to become the sons of God. (John 1:10-12) And, as the children of God, we have been made heirs of God, and joint heirs with Jesus Christ. (Rom. 8:17)

As joint heirs with Jesus Christ, Jesus has delegated His power and authority to us to tread down and trample over Satan and the kingdom of darkness—and nothing by any means shall hurt us! (Luke 10:17-20 & Acts 1:8) We are to make a complete mockery of the devil in every arena of life by walking in the abundant life that Jesus Christ made available to us. (John 10:10)

Jesus Christ, and we in Him, are seated at the right hand of God in all power, dominion, and majesty expecting His enemies be made His footstool. (Heb.10:13) The Church and every Christian is authorized to exercise complete mastery over the devil and his evil works—to give the enemy the footstool treatment!

We have been called and commanded to go and “Parade” all over the works of the devil with the preaching of the gospel, winning the lost to Christ, and doing the mighty works of God. Examine the words of Jesus Christ at Mark 16:15-18, and look at the Parade.

 He said unto them, Go into all the world and preach

 the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is

 baptized shall be saved, but he that believeth not shall

 be damned. And these signs shall follow them that

`believe. In my name, they shall cast out devils, they

shall speak with new tongues, they shall take up

serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing,

it shall not hurt them, and they shall lay hands on

the sick and they shall recover.

 

From these verses we can see that the Church, and Christians individually, have been empowered by Jesus Christ to preach the gospel to the lost and do supernatural works to overcome evil in the world. The power and authority vested in us by Jesus Christ is far superior to the wicked schemes and wiles of Satan and the kingdom of darkness.

 

Moreover, the Church of Jesus Christ has been established to march against and tear down the gates of hell. We are to rejoice that our names are written in the Lambs Book of Life and boldly Parade over the devil because he has no power to resist the POWER OF JESUS CHRIST in us!

 

Satan had the power over death, hell, and the grave but Jesus’s Resurrection from dead abolished death and brought life and immortality to light. (Rev. 1:18 & II Tim. 1:10) We never have to fear death—not just physical death but gross failure of any kind—because we have the Resurrection power of Christ living on the inside of us! (Rom. 8:11) Glory be to God, that’s a reason for a Victory Parade every day of your life! 

Examine I Peter 2:9, it reads:

 

But ye are a chosen generation a royal priesthood,

an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should

shew forth the praises of him who hath called you

out of darkness into his marvelous light.

 

Also see Ephesians 2:10, as the Apostle Paul wrote,

 

For we are his workmanship created in Christ

 Jesus unto good works, which God hath before

ordained that we should walk in them.

 

As born-again Christians, we are the handiwork of God, ordained to do the mighty works of God. We have been chosen from the foundation of the world to Parade all over the devil—decreeing things from the Word of God and seeing them come to pass. Then we are to declare things—making our boast in the Lord that God in Christ Jesus is the sole source for every victory, as we always win!

 

But, instead of exercising our authority over the devil and Parading over him, so many Christians spend their time glorifying the devil and his antics in all sorts of ways. Rather than being transformed into the image of Christ, many Christians are being conformed to the norms, values, and thinking of the carnality of Mankind (who remain under the control and influence of Satan.)

 

For example, many Christians are: yielding to the temptation of sin, claiming sickness and disease in their lives and those of others, speaking evil and lies, and uttering worthless words that glorify the devil.

 

Furthermore, when we hear news reports of all the chaos in the world, we sit around saying, “the devil is busy.” In analyzing data on the job, we say “the devil is in the details.” In debating issues, so often people like to say, “let me play devil’s advocate.” We even name foods after the devil—like “devil’s food cake.” Someone talks about a person just before entering a room; then they enter the room and people say—“speaking of the devil.”

 

We speak fear, doubt, and unbelief—fears of relationships, flying, heights, public speaking, being broke financially, or dying. I tell you, so many of us give the devil far too much credit and place in their lives. But the Scripture commands us to give the devil no place in our lives. (Eph. 4:27)

 

We must come to understand, that in the lives of Christians, the devil has no power, but that which we allow him to use against us. With respect to Christians, all the devil has is the same old tired trick he used to tempt and deceive Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. I call it, The One Question: “Has God said,” which is intended to separate us from “God and good.” (Gen. 3:1)

 

Think about it—every temptation to sin you have ever been subjected to and/or committed as a sinner or Saint has involved the root question, “Has God said.” The question implies whether God’s Word is true, or did God really mean what He said?

 

Immediately following this question, Satan attempts to fan the flames of fear, lies, doubt, unbelief, deception, and accusation. The spirit of fear is from the devil and not from God. Contrary-wise God has given to us power, love, and a sound mind. (II Tim. 2.7)

 

Recently, I read a piece written by a Pastor that I think is a great illustration about the reality of Satan (the enemy) in this world. The Pastor recalled a story told to him by a friend who worked as a volunteer fireman. One day, while training in the mountains, the fireman and crew came across a very large rattlesnake in the road. The fire captain grabbed a shovel, and with a hard swing cut off the head of the snake. 

 

The fireman told the Pastor he was amazed to see that the body of the snake kept moving and twisting all over the place, even twitching and jumping. His natural reaction was to jump back, as the snake looked as if it was still live. 

 

Fascinated by this, the fireman decided to take the snake back and show his buddies at the fire station. So he picked the snake up, placed it in a bag, and put it in a side compartment of the fire truck. When they got back to the station the fireman called his friends over and opened the compartment, and the snake had wiggled out of the bag.  

 

The fireman was shocked that the snake had gotten out. He had to climb back up into the truck and reach for the reptile which had nestled itself down into the hoses. He recalled that as he reached for the snake, he had to keep telling himself not to be afraid, as the snake was dead—there were no fangs to bite him with and had lost its power to hurt him. He finally found the snake, and low and behold, it was still twitching.  

The Pastor went on to write about this story saying, “and for the last 2000 years Satan has been moving, twisting, and twitching and fooling believers into thinking he has real power over us. Even though he has no power over us. All he has is the spirit of fear.”

He added that Satan, as I said before, “only has power if you give it to him. He only can hurt you if you allow him to. If you allow fear, stress, anxiousness, or intimidation to have a place in your life. But we must remember that we have been set free.”

The Pastor also commented that “in his own life in times of temptation, he has to remind himself that Jesus Christ has set him free—that Satan has no power over him. He is a mortally wounded enemy who is very angry. And true, one day he will be cast into the lake of fire, but until then, he’s still roaming the earth; he’s still alive and that makes him a serious enemy” to those who do not know Jesus Christ.

Finally, the Pastor affirmed that as Christians we need not be afraid of the devil because we have been set free from his rule, dominion, and power over us. 

To all of this I say, the Pastor is right that Jesus Christ has set us free. We have been delivered from the kingdom of darkness and translated into the kingdom of God. (Col. 1:13) But, not only are we free from the dominion and rule of Satan and his kingdom; we have been given “All Power” over him!

 

As born-again Christians, we have to treat the devil just like the fireman did the snake—he stuck his hand in the fire hose and pulled the dead snake out even though it appeared to still have life. Recall that, the spirit of fear (authored by the devil) tried to make him fear again when taking the snake out of the fire hose—even though he had picked the dead snake up before and placed it in the bag during the training exercise.

 

In dealing with our adversary the devil, we need to remember that Jesus Christ and his finished works on the cross stripped the devil of all of his power 2000 years ago—there is no reason for us to fear the devil and yield to his temptations. Rather, the devil, if you will, has been “defanged “ by Jesus Christ, and he fears and is intimated by us!

 

The Pastor’s story reminds me of I Peter 5:8-10, in which the Apostle Peter admonishes us to be watchful of the enemy. Peter wrote: 

 

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil,

as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

Whom resist stedfast in the faith knowing that the same afflictions

are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. But the God

of all grace who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after

that ye have suffered a while will make you perfect, stablish, strengthen,

settle you.

 

I am also reminded of James 4:7, which reads,

 

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil

 and he will flee from you.

 

The Apostle Peter says the devil comes as a roaring lion. He is pretending to have power to harm and hurt, but if resisted earnestly in faith, (Word of God) both the Apostle Peter and James wrote that we get the victory over the devil as he will flee from us.

 

The reason why so many Christians today are not Parading over the enemy is because we are not resisting the devil by standing in faith. When you fail to stand in faith, you fail to operate in the power of God. When you fail to operate in the power of God you give the devil permission to devour you.

 

His attacks of sickness and disease, poverty, demonic possession, hatred, lying, stealing, idol worship, fornication, adultery, homosexuality—all the works of the flesh—have opportunity to come into our lives when we are not operating in the power of God.

 

We must learn that we are fighting against spiritual wickedness in high places. Thus, we must compare spiritual things with spiritual things. We must have and use God’s power and might against Satan and the kingdom of darkness. The Spirit realm is much greater than the natural realm. The natural man is no match for the wiles of the devil. Likewise, any Christian who chooses to operate in carnality has no chance to defeat Satan.

 

Satan and the demonic world fights against born-again Christians to accomplish three basic things:

 

  1. To keep Christians from preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ to the lost. Thereby, keeping Christians from using the power of God to cast out devils, heal the sick, and save souls. (Rom. 1:16)

 

  1. To keep Christians from inheriting the manifestation of the blessing of Abraham—prosperity, divine health, and protection from all enemies—by refusing to give tithes and offerings to the local church. Satan does not want Christians to believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross to make them wax rich! (Gen. 14:20, Gal. 3:13-14, II Cor. 8:9)

 

  1. To block the financial enrichment of the Church of Jesus so that it cannot meet the needs of the poor and disadvantaged. Only the Church of Jesus Christ can eradicate poverty and social depravity. Money becomes anointed in the hands of true worshippers of God to eradicate poverty. (Deut. 8:18)

 

So it takes the power and might of God to conquer and get the victory over Satan to fulfill the will of God for the body of Christ. When we operate in the power and might of God, the devil is powerless to hurt us and is completely no match for us.

 

The operative question is how can the Church, and born-again Christians individually become strong in the Lord and power of His might? Most Christians either struggle to answer this question, or have to admit they don’t know the answer. In fact, many Christians do not even know that they can be as strong and powerful as God and can wield the same power and might as God!

 

At Ephesians 6:10-17, the Apostle Paul provides us with instructions on how to be strong in the Lord and the power of His might. Let’s read through it now.

 

We are strong in the Lord and the power of His might when we:

 

PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD!

 

Would you please just think about this for a moment?

 

What a loving God we serve. God has given to us His Armor to wear in battle with Satan. The same Armor God used to defeat the devil with, is the same Armor we are to use to Parade all over him. God’s armor is not man-made, but made of God’s own handiwork.

 

God would never tell us to stand up and resist the devil—He would never tell the Lord’s Church to march against and tear down the gates of hell—unless He had already given to us the necessary Armor to conquer the enemy in every battle.

 

Oh, praise God here is an awesome piece of wisdom for us. If you are wearing “God’s Armor” every day, there is no battle with Satan, principalities, powers, and demons that you can ever lose; because God in Jesus Christ has already defeated the enemy for you! Every confrontation you have with Satan has already been fought and won by God before you ever enter into the battle! This is why we are born-again overcomers, we always win. It’s in our spiritual DNA to always win. (I John 4:4 & 5:4-5)

 

So let’s learn how to put on the whole Armor of God, and use it correctly. The putting on of the whole Armor of God is a two-step process. You put on the full armor of God by:

 

  • Believing (to the knowing) what God has done for you through Jesus Christ’s finished works on the cross.

 

Believing (to the knowing) that after Jesus’ Resurrection, God through Christ Jesus quickened us all together, raised us up together and made us all sit in heavenly places in Christ Jesus at the right hand of God the Father. (Eph. 2: 4-8) So that God would behold us, just as He ordained and called us before the foundations of the world, according to the express purpose of His will.

 

Namely, that we should be holy and blameless in His sight, that we should be His adopted children, and accepted in the beloved. (Eph. 1:3) God wants the Christian soldier to know they are “holy,” “blameless,” His sons, and “accepted of God!” Not based on their human performance, but based on Jesus Christ’s performance on the cross.

 

  • Daily living out the elements of the Armor of God in every arena of your life. We are to live the life of Christ before all people. (Eph. Chapters 4 & 5).

 

With the whole Armor of God on, we are not wrestling with Satan and the forces of darkness in our own strength, but rather in God’s strength. In every temptation and attack of the enemy we are operating in God’s strength.

 

So, remember, putting on the whole armor of God is standing in the victory of Jesus Christ on the Cross and applying it to your daily life. 

In Chapter 6 of Ephesians, as the soldier of Christ, fully armed with the whole Armor of God, the Apostle Paul commands us three times to “stand” in verses 11, 13 and 14. Paul uses the word stand as a military/combat term, meaning to resist and overcome the schemes of the devil (Eph. 6:11). And, in verse 13, Paul tells us to “stand” having conquered all, stand again ready for the next battle and to be victorious. In other words, when you have God’s Armor on, it is a for-gone conclusion, that we win every wrestling match with the enemy!

As a Christian soldier, you can stand firm because you’ve already been seated with Jesus Christ as Paul wrote in (Eph. Chapters 1-2) and then walk according to the Word of God as delineated in (Eph. 4-6).  The Bible says that there will be tensions, tribulations, and even persecutions in the days ahead before Jesus Christ return to rapture the Church (Matt. 24:9-24). But we are to keep standing firm by keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus Christ and His wisdom-filled leadership. For Jesus has overcome the world for us! (John 16:33)

As we read, Ephesians 6:14-17 presents the 6 pieces of the Armor of God:

  1. Belt of truth
  2. Breastplate of righteousness
  3. Shoes – readiness of the Gospel of peace
  4. Shield of faith
  5. Helmet of salvation
  6. Sword of the Spirit

Some Bible commentators say that there is a 7th piece, which is “praying at all times in the Spirit.” Indeed, praying in the Spirit is a very important thing we must do to stand against spiritual attack, but it’s not connected to a piece of armor like the others are in Ephesians 6.

 

In my opinion, it would be more accurate to say that praying in the spirit comes about as a result of putting on the full Armor of God. In fact, the whole Armor of God causes the Christian to flow into praying in the Holy Ghost. When you have the Whole Armor of God on, you are worshiping God in Spirit and in Truth—and thereby unsusceptible to the vices of the devil’s lies and deceptions. (John 4:23-24)

So let’s go through each piece of the Armor of God.

(1) The Belt of Truth (gird about with truth). Essentially, it means we are to live in the Truth of God’s Word—wrap yourself around and buckle up tight in the Truth! For we are to live in Truth—to put your complete trust in God’s Word and say only what God says.

You are wearing the belt of truth when you are only willing to believe what Jesus Christ has done for you, and refusing to trust in the lies of the enemy. When you are ready to stand with the truth of God’s Word against the falsehoods and traditions of men, even when persecuted for it.

(2) The Breastplate of Righteousness is what protects the core of your being from every spiritual attack of the enemy. The breastplate covers what’s closest to your heart. It affects whether you walk in confidence as someone who is assured that God loves them. It affects how you feel about yourself at the heart-level with God.

When you are wearing the Breastplate of Righteousness you know that God—because He loves you, just as He loves Jesus Christ—has made you equal with Himself. (Php. 2:6). Not because you earned nor deserved to be called righteous, but because Jesus Christ made you Righteous. (Rom. 5:17) It was Jesus Christ alone that qualified us to receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness.

You know you have the breastplate of righteousness affixed to your core when you can boldly declare before Satan and all people in the world, that “God has made you equal to Himself.” Moreover saying, “God has freely given me all things that pertain unto life and godliness.” Saying, “He proved His love for me when He gave me Jesus Christ, and He is ever so kind toward me, in that He has also given me His Whole Armor!”

(3) Shoes – Readiness of the Gospel of Peace (or as written, feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace) is a very important piece of the Armor of God that assists you with standing against spiritual attacks by enemy. Examine I Peter 3:15, it reads:

But in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy,

always being prepared to make a defense to anyone

who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you;

yet do it with gentleness and respect.

 

The people of the world (sinners) want to know why you are a Christian. Many people think it is a waste of time to serve God, other people think there are many ways to God, or that there are many gods that can be served. But, the soldier of Jesus Christ is prepared and ready to explain with gentleness to all people why they are a Christian, why a sinner should become a Christian, and how to become a Christian if after hearing the preaching of the gospel they choose to believe in Jesus Christ.

 

God in Christ Jesus went through the utmost to reconcile all of mankind to Himself, and He has made you a minister of reconciliation. (II Cor. 5:18-19) You are His personal ambassador. You are the salt and light of the world—look down at your feet and ask yourself where have you traveled this week, last month, or last year to preach the Gospel of Peace in an effort to bring others to God?

 

The chastisement of our Peace was placed upon Jesus on the cross. The Prince of Peace died on the cross so that we could all receive God’s Peace. Every man can be at peace with God, and when you have peace with God He will fill your life with peace—health and prosperity.

 

Don’t you see this world is full of tribulation that every person experiences. As ambassadors of Christ, in the midst of times of hardship, discouragement and even persecution, we are to stand up and out and bring the good news of the Gospel of Peace to the lost.

It is easy to see when a Christian has on their shoes and are prepared and ready to preach the Gospel of Peace to every person—they say to the Lord, “Lord I’m ready to go whenever and wherever you call and lead me. I’m in your service!” Finally, the shoe wearing Christian has peace knowing that they will ultimately stand before God in peace and in rest.

  1. The Shield of Faith is the part of the Armor that protects you from the fiery darts of the enemy. Faith is integral to your relationship with God.

Without faith you can never please God. (Heb.11:6) When you believed and received Jesus Christ as Lord, He gave you His faith—it is the gift of God. (Eph. 2:8) You start out your Christian walk with God in faith. The exercise of faith is how you grow spiritually in God. And, faith is what will keep you standing until the end, when you stand before Jesus Christ who is the author and finisher of our faith. (Heb.12:2)

To take up the Shield of Faith means to put all your trust in God in every circumstance of life. To always have, “Faith in God.” To always know that God has given you the authority and dominion over the earth, and to use it! Look at it this way:

You take up the Shield of Faith when you choose to trust in God more than anything else. You are willing to lay it all on the altar of sacrifice for God—just as Abraham offered up Isaac the covenant seed of promise. (Gen. 22:1-19) You are willing to speak to the mountains of your life without doubting and see them cast into the sea. (Mark 11:22-24)

When the enemy attacks to try and make you doubt God: God’s Word and His love for you—you grasp on to firmly and hold on to the unchanging Hand of God—you lean on the everlasting Arm of God who is the source of all good things.

You know how important it is not to sway back and forth—from believing God one minute and doubting God the next minute. This is the making of a double minded man. So that person will receive nothing from the Lord. (James 1:6-8) The enemy’s plan is to cast doubt in your thinking with the foolish question: Hath God said? So you put up the Shield of Faith to shut the devil up and say what God says instead!

(5) The Helmet of Salvation, I always say is for making sure you have and keep your head on straight all the time. What I mean by this is, Christians must always have their thinking together, knowing that our God, is “The God of Salvation.” God is the One who brings salvation to the world. God through Jesus Christ alone is the One who saves and delivers. Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life—no man can come to the Father but by Him. (John 14:6 & Acts 4:12) Jesus’ very name means, “The Lord Saves.”

We know that the whole world is in a state of brokenness and confusion but our head is on straight! Darkness will continue to increase until Jesus Christ returns. Jesus Christ is our hope (expectation with anticipated pleasure) of His return to rapture the Church. (I Thess. 5:8) And Jesus Christ will return again at the end of this age to bring God’s Kingdom fully on the earth (Revelation 21-22).

Salvation is not only about going to heaven when you die. It’s about God making all things new when Jesus returns (Rev. 21:5).

You put on this helmet of salvation when you put your hope fully in God. Look to the One who started the work of redemption and will one day complete it. Jesus Christ is the reason why even as we go through troubles in this life we enjoy the Parade.

(6) The Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God is our offensive weapon we use to destroy the crafty works of darkness. Sharper than any two-edged sword, Jesus Christ, used the Word of God to answer and defeat each temptation from Satan. (Matt. 4:1-11)

Jesus answered each temptation by saying: “It is written,” and quoted from the Scriptures. The Spirit of God always acts in conjunction with the Word of God spoken from our mouths. In times of temptation, when you quote the written Word of God it cuts in pieces the tricks and deceits of the devil.

Satan fights against us to try and keep us from hearing, receiving, and planting the Word of God in our hearts. But the soldier that has the Sword of the Spirit drawn will always consider the Word more necessary than their daily food. (Job 23:12) They understand that man does not live by bread alone, but by every Word of God. (Luke 4:4)

As the born-again Christian commits to daily reading, studying, and obeying God’s Word, they are wielding the Sword of the Spirit. Freedom and deliverance from all evil will be their mantel, and the devil will fear and run in terror from them.

Lastly, Praying in the Spirit, as I mentioned earlier is not one of the pieces of the Armor of God, but flows out of putting on the Whole Armor of God. To pray in the Spirit on all occasions is to engage in fellowship with God at the deepest level of your heart. (Jude 20)  Praying in the Spirit is an ongoing communion with God—with a longing to know God’s heart, mind, and agenda. This is Paul’s prayer in Eph. 1:17-23, that God would give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation that you might know Him more. 

To pray in the Spirit is prayer empowered by God’s Spirit. As He touches your spirit, you are able to abide in Jesus Christ, His love, and Anointing (John 15:4). Now, daily take the Sword of the Spirit—the Word of God—and pray in the Spirit and you will be able to break and defeat spiritual powers of darkness that seek to devour your family, friends, the Church and Christians everywhere.

In closing, the Christian life is to be filled with victory and not victimization! We are forever to move from faith to faith, to glory to glory. (II Cor. 3:18) All for the experience of a continual joyous Parade over Satan and the kingdom of darkness. Even in times of hardship and persecutions, with the Whole Armor of God on, we stand, praise, and exalt the finished works of Jesus Christ, and bring others to Christ to join and enjoy the Praise Parade.

 

The absolute joy and laughter of it all is that Satan has already been defeated and there is nothing he nor his wicked kingdom can do to stop us from putting on the Whole Armor of God. (Rom. 8:31) So daily, you make sure to keep the Whole Armor of God on, make full display of it, and use of it against Satan and you will always win a more than decisive victory!

 

ALL POWER AND AUTHORITY IS GIVEN UNTO JESUS CHRIST, ALL HAIL TO THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS!
