You shall trample the wicked, for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet, on the day that I do this,” says the LORD of hosts. Malachi 4.3

The wicked mentioned in this verse are the angels who let themselves be led astray by Lucifer, once a light bearer, and fell into disgrace. They became demons who serve Satan, to harm those who do not take shelter in the hiding place of the Most High (Psalm 91.1). By being born again, man becomes a temple of God (John 14.23) and thus takes refuge in the divine promises. By gaining an understanding of what this means, he is freed from evil.

In the world, we will have afflictions, unpleasant situations of our daily life, even if we are steadfast on the Word of the Lord: 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 (John 16.33). A rebuke in the Name of Jesus delivers us from adversity; after all, Jesus said: And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son (John 14.13). Use your faith and your power!

The evil spirits accompanying Satan are no longer as strong as they were against us, because Christ has dethroned them as well as their leader. The Bible reports the work that the Son of God did in the hellish kingdom: Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it (Colossians 2.15). The Savior took away from the devil the authority that he had stolen from man. Now we are free!

The symbolism is real: we trample on the wicked (fallen angels, demons) who cause evil to men. Jesus went to the 70 disciples and told them to evangelize before Him in the cities He had not yet visited: Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you (Luke 10.19). Why don’t many people assume their authority and enjoy the abundant life brought by Christ?

Malachi stated this truth 400 years before Jesus was born, and it was fulfilled during the Savior’s day in our midst. By stripping – taking away the power – of evil spirits, they became as ashes. Remember: God is a Consuming Fire, and certainly Christ did not strip them by giving advice. The enemies did everything not to lose what they had stolen from man (Hebrews 12.29). But Jesus won; now, believe and you will live!

Demons are ashes under our feet, but if we don’t believe in the Lord, they will be able to defeat us. Mercy! We must urgently take our place in the Son of God, or our life will be run by the adversaries He defeated. Make no mistake: you are allowed to live at the highest level. Never love the philosophy of the world, that which the lost enjoy and do (1 John 2.15-17). We are on the winning team; therefore, never surrender!

The apostle Paul declared:  The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore, let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light (Romans 13.12). Grasp the Sword of the Spirit, the Word of God, and set out to achieve success. The ashes will not be able to overpower you. In Christ, you have already won!

In Christ, with love,

Lord! It’s beautiful to learn about our position over the devil and his demons. As we learn of Christ's work on our behalf, we will not submit to the evil powers. We will submit to You in love!

Why fear the night when it is already over? It will never be able to come back and oppress us again. It is wonderful to be able to live this truth, without any fear of being happy. Your grace leads us to love You more and more. Then we will no longer be slaves to the evil one!

Father, we reject the wiles of the enemy and command them to be destroyed. The evil power will no longer afflict us, because we are clothed with the weapons of light. Now, let us enjoy all that You have provided for us. You are our God and beloved Father!
