THE BIBLE DEVIL IS A DEFEATED DEVIL
LUKE 11:14-21
The devil continues to cheat many believers simply because they don’t study the scriptures and understand the biblical truth about him; the biblical devil is a defeated devil. This truth will help you to walk in victory. After Jesus resurrected, the position of the devil relative to our lives changed- He became defeated. Jesus took the legal claim that the devil had over humanity to exercise dominion from him and now every born-again can exercise that same authority over the devil. He is not who he used to be; he’s now a defeated devil.
Our text tells us that the devil cannot cast out devils, what the devil can do is to practice the principle of displacement and replacement. Only Jesus can cast out devils and only in His Name can this be done. Nothing else can do that. Before Jesus came, the devil was referred to as a strong man who (armed with all kinds of lie and deception) kept his goods – human beings, health of the people, their wellbeing and destinies, but when Jesus (a stronger than the devil) came, He overcame the devil through His death, burial and resurrection.
When Jesus overcame, he took from the Devil all his armour wherein he trusted and he divided his spoil.” Today, the devil has been overcome, he has been defeated and his armour has been taken from him. Beloved, walk in this knowledge and don’t allow the devil to cheat you. We walk from victory and not for victory!
PRAYER: Lord, thank you for this revelation. I stand in the victory that Christ has won for me and I reclaim all that the enemy has stolen and cheated me of in Jesus’ name. Amen.
