DOMINION OVER SATAN AND HIS WORKS

Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned (Romans 5:12).

The Scriptures don’t give us the impression that all sicknesses and diseases are caused by demons. However, Satan does have a remote connection to sickness because he was the cause of sin from the very beginning, and the Bible tells us that through sin, death entered into the world. Sickness is simply incipient death.

Without sin, there would have been no sickness at all. But some have asked, “If Satan has something to do with sickness, how come doctors are able to cure them?” The answer is simple: Satan is not omnipotent. He doesn’t have all the power. He cannot control all of nature, nor can he totally dominate human life. Man still has a will, and man still has authority.

For example, consider the story of the demon possessed man of Gadara (Mark 5:1-15). The Bible says he had a legion of demons, yet when the Lord Jesus came by, he ran toward Him. If the demons had their way, they would have prevented the man from approaching the Master. But they couldn’t stop him because even a demon-possessed man is not 100% controlled by Satan; his will still functions.

This shows that human beings, made in the image of God, are of a higher order than fallen angels. So, any evil or damage caused by Satan can often be undone. If, for example, someone had a car accident through satanic manipulation and the car was wrecked, you can repair the car, and Satan cannot stop it.

If Satan had all the power people imagine he has, he would have destroyed everyone long ago. But he hasn’t because he can’t. Yes, Satan does cause trouble, but as already stated, much of what he does can be undone through human effort. But where human ability stops, we use the Name of Jesus. The Lord Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil and give us dominion over him and his cohorts of darkness. You have power far beyond human strength, far beyond this world. It’s the power of the Holy Spirit. It’s the power of the Name of Jesus. Therefore, your authority in Christ Jesus is greater than every force of darkness.

PRAYER / CONFESSION

Dear Father, thank you for giving me authority in the Name of Jesus. I exercise that authority over sickness, disease, and every work of darkness. I live in the victory of Christ, knowing that Satan is under my feet; His schemes are futile in and around me, and in the lives of those in my world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

A LIFE GIVER—RADIANT, LAMBENT AND DIVINE

And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit (1 Corinthians 15:45).

When you were born again, an actual change took place in your spirit. It wasn’t a mere transformation of your mindset or a shift in your way of thinking. No! You were literally reborn, recreated by the Holy Spirit. That’s why the Scriptures affirm, “...If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature...” (2 Corinthians 5:17). This is a fundamental truth.

Whereas the natural man, the man that’s not born again, is of the earth and a mere living soul, you’re a life-giving spirit. You bear the image of the heavenly: “The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly” (1 Corinthians 15:47-48). You’re a heavenly man. Hallelujah! You’re not of this world.

Your life came from the Lord Jesus Christ, the second and last Adam. He’s the head of a new race, the new creation. You’re taxonomically different from the natural man. For example, despite sharing the same earthly parents, if you’re born again and you have a sibling who isn’t, you both belong to completely different realms. Outwardly, you may look the same, but in the Spirit, you are worlds apart.

The one who isn’t born again is called darkness while you are called light. The former absorbs light, you radiate it. You emit light, for you’re the light of the world, just as the Lord Jesus is called the true light (John 1:9). As He is, so are you in this world (1 John 4:17).

Live in the consciousness of your divine origin and identity in Christ. You’re a life giver—radiant, lambent, and divine. Walk in this truth!

PRAYER / CONFESSION

I’m a new creation in Christ Jesus; I’m not of this world. I have the life of God in me. I’m full of grace and truth. I’m a life-giver, radiant, lambent and divine. I walk in the reality of my heritage and identity in Christ, impacting my world with the glory of God. Amen.
