Genesis 3:15 NKJV—[15] “And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel.”
The devil is fighting a losing battle! He thinks he will win against you and the Lord, but his defeat has been predetermined from the very beginning. There is no power available to him. The only way your enemy gains any ground in your life is if you relinquish it and allow him to take it.
What this means for us is that we must keep every door closed to the enemy. Don’t let sin have a place in your life any longer. Keep the door shut to it. I should also mention that we cannot create our own definitions of what sin is and isn’t. The Bible is our guide. It alone defines what is pleasing to the Lord and what is not. Too often, we try to establish our own measuring stick to judge our lives by. The reality is that what God says is the final authority.
Beyond sin, we must guard our hearts against things like bitterness, unforgiveness, and emotions that could lead us in the wrong direction. Our hearts can be easily flooded with emotions that flow like a river, taking us to places we don’t want to go. So we must protect ourselves and our hearts.
The lie of the enemy is always present, telling you that you will never make it through your battles. He will tell you that you don’t amount to anything and seek to diminish your value; but this is not true! You are of great value to God. So much so that He gave Jesus to die in your place.
The fact is this: Jesus totally and completely defeated Satan on the cross. When Jesus cried, “It is finished,” that was it. The victory was final. All the devil has at his disposal is his mouth. He speaks lies in the hopes that we will believe him and fall for the deception. If we do, we expose an open door and grant the enemy access. Friend, do not believe the lie!
The greater One lives in you! Jesus has the name above all names, and at the mention of His name, demons tremble. Jesus crushed the serpent’s head and sealed his fate. Purpose today to walk in the victory Jesus purchased for you.
Let’s agree in prayer:
Father, I thank You for the blood of Jesus that provides complete victory for me. By His name, I am an overcomer. The enemy will not win in my life because I belong to Jesus. My declaration is that You are for me! Thank You, Jesus, for winning the battle and granting me victory. Today, I give You glory for all You’ve done for me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Amen!
