(Fourth part)
Memory verse (Jn16: 33): " These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world ”
Jesus did not die on the cross for himself but for you and me. Jesus went on the cross for humanity not for himself. If Jesus had failed on the cross, that would mean man’s failure. But thanks be to God, Jesus overcame on the cross. He destroyed power and principalities on the cross, he destroyed death on the cross, he destroyed sin and he offered a sin offering that satisfied righteous requirements of justice (Col2: 15), (Heb2:14), and when he was dying he said: “ It’s finished ”. Since you entered into the kingdom of God, you have no reason to fear devils, trials and tribulations, problems... why? Jesus defeated them for you. You are more than a conqueror, i.e. you enjoy victory without fighting. God has put Satan under your feet through the death of Christ (Rom 16:20). God has lifted you up with Christ and seated you up in the heavenly places in Christ (Eph2: 4-6). God has given you his full Armour and his mighty weapons. He has put his word in your mouth and he has made your enemies like grass. God‘s word out your mouth is fire. Open your mouth and speak forth God’s word.
Never allow the world to put its words in you. Many of the things that are heard through the media, are Satan’s crafted lies. There is only one truth, God’s word. Never give attention to the noise of this world, even your flesh. Give attention to God’s word. God’s word is the only light that can show you way of life in this world. The only truth about God, who you are and what you have in Christ is found in no other book, except Bible.
Many believers have a faulty belief system because they lack proper teachings of God’s word, they live in fear constantly. They see Satan destroying their families. They are praying struggling to defeat the devils. They see curses everywhere. All they see is Satan all the time. They see themselves as grasshoppers in life. Study the New Testament and ask the Holy Spirit who inspired the scriptures to inspire them to you again. Don’t live in ignorance. You will discover that Satan is not what he has for year been telling you he is. He is defeated and he will never be a victor again, but let us rejoice in Christ and walk in our victory through life.
