1John 5:4-5 AMP
[4]For whatever is born of God is victorious over the world; and this is the victory that conquers the world, even our faith. [5]Who is it that is victorious over [that conquers] the world but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on that fact]? (1 John 5:4-5 AMP)
Some people think that Jesus and the devil are always confronting and fighting each other.
But when I read my Bible, I don’t see fights between the two. What I see is the devil having to flee whenever he encounters Jesus. And the reason is simple! Satan is a defeated foe and we have the victory already:
But thanks be to God, Who in Christ always leads us in triumph [as trophies of Christ's victory] and through us spreads and makes evident the fragrance of the knowledge of God everywhere, (2 Corinthians 2:14 AMP)
Consider the demoniac from the country of the Gadarenes in Luke 8:26–39. The demons in the man begged Jesus not to torment them or send them into the abyss, but to permit them to enter a herd of swine nearby.
You see, neither the devil nor his demons can stand before Jesus. They may be able to torment people for a while, but when Jesus comes on the scene, they know that that is the end of their stay. They will have to flee!
All it took was just one word from Jesus, and the entire legion of demons had to come out of the man and flee into the swine.
As a child of God, you exude a spiritual fragrance which evil spirits can detect and which causes them to tremble. It is the life of Jesus inside you. Glory!
And He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. (1 John 4:4) That is why no curse, spell, accusation, scandal or destruction planned against you can succeed.
Your enemies may come against you one way, but the Lord will confuse them and cause them to flee before you seven ways!
Jesus paid with His life to give you this victory over your enemies.
After His arrest in the garden of Gethsemane, the Jews and Gentiles were united for the first time with one common objective: Torture Jesus and have Him killed. King Herod of the Jews and Pontius Pilate of the Romans were long-time enemies, but because of Jesus, they became friends. (Luke 23:12)
My friend, Jesus’ enemies were united and had “victory” over Him. But He triumphed over them!
But because He triumphed over them through the cross and rose again, today, your enemies are scattered and you already have victory over them!
...... .....thank God! In the Messiah, in Christ, God leads us from place to place in one perpetual victory parade........[.2Corinthians 2:24 Message]
This is your destiny in Christ!
You Are On A Perpetual Victory Parade! Let this be your declaration !
I like you to step out today with this consciousness!
In Christ Jesus, we have the Victory already.
It's a resoundingly blessed day for you!
