Therefore thus says the Lord GOD of hosts: “O My people, who dwell in Zion, do not be afraid of the Assyrian. He shall strike you with a rod and lift up his staff against you, in the manner of Egypt.  Isaiah 10:24

The little Israel did not have to fear the giant nation of Assyria, who ruled the world in those days during 13 centuries.  The people of God had in Him their Defender with His shield, and those that came against Him would be defeated.  We must have this same feeling every time our faith is challenged; after all, the Lord promised to be with us every day until the end of the world (Matthew 28:20).  The Power we have on our side will determine our victory.

If we know that Satan, the king of evil, was defeated and stripped of the authority that he had stolen from humanity to oppress us with it, why do we have to fear him? One who is in communion with the Omnipotent will never be defeated.  When the enemy comes against us like a giant wave, the Spirit of God lifts His banner against him.  Those that walk in faith are walking in safety wherever they may go.  Glory be to the Lord!

The saved not only escaped the wrath of the kingdom of evil, but were also constituted as authorities over evil.  With these prerogatives we will step on serpent, scorpions and all powers of the enemy.  This means we can crush any and all things that come from the devil.  As we face on to any devil, disease or misfortune, remember you were given capabilities to reduce them to nothing, crushing and defeating them.

Know well: evil comes from the devil. But with the power that was conceded to you, meet any threat or plague, for they do not have any power to affect your life.  If you struggle against evil that has attacked or touched anyone you are ministering to, you are protected by the Lord so that that evil, or any other evil sent from Hell, will not affect you.  Satan is prevented from touching the children of God.

He who is a member of the Body of Christ has Jesus as Head and for this reason will be protected from the enemy.  The members of the Church of the Lord should not fear the kingdom of evil, because Satan’s rod that used to make everyone tremble was broken and scattered never to be rebuilt.  Why fear he who was defeated by us through Jesus? The Master did not have to compare strengths with the devil to see who was stronger.  The Savior did everything in our place!

When being afflicted, do not fear.  First examine if there is any hidden sin in your heart; if so, tell it to the Lord so that your communion with Him can be restored.  Then declare that that suffering be removed in the Name of Jesus and remember that all who were baptized in the Holy Spirit received abundant power to repel or drive back evil attacks against themselves and others.

Finally the time now is not one of weeping, but of joy, for we live after the Savior defeated and stripped the adversary of the power that had been stolen from man.  We are the chosen race and exclusive property of the Lord to do and carry out His holy will!

In Christ, with Love,
