ACTING ON THE WORD OF GOD AS BELIEVERS

 ACTING ON THE WORD OF GOD AS BELIEVERS

 Margaret Wright

We now understand that, since the devil was legally and eternally defeated by our Blessed Lord Jesus Christ,

 he has no power over any human being. Matt.28: 18
Everything that Adam and Eve lost, has been redeemed by Jesus Christ Who has been raised from the dead and He declared ALL power belongs to Him and He has the keys of hell and death. (1 Peter 1: 18, 19 and Revelation 1: 18)

Jesus Christ has delegated His authority to those who believe in His Name. Those who believe and are submitted to God, must resist the devil and cast him out in the Name of Jesus Christ. By our confession of the Word of God, the enemy will flee. (Mark 16: 15-18; Luke 10: 19 and James 4: 7)
God's people are oppressed and live defeated lives because of the lack of knowledge of what Christ accomplished for them at Calvary.  Calvary’s IT IS FINISHED has destroyed the devil’s dominion over God’s property!

I’m reminded of a line in the song of David Ingles: Satan has been paralyzed, “Satan lost the battle, Jesus won the fight.”  This is true. The devil only uses bluff and influence to deceive and oppress people for they do not know that they have been set free from the enemy's power.   (Colosians 1: 13, 14;  Acts 10; 38 and 1 John 3: 8)

The blood-bought Church of Jesus Christ has been given the ministry of reconciliation. (2 Corinthians 5: 19, 20)
Let us rise up Church, and tell it like it is and bring them from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of God. This is the mandate of every believer so let us be faithful until He comes again!
Because of the above truths, our loved ones are also the redeemed property of the Lord Jesus Christ and we must command the enemy in the Name of Jesus Christ to take his hands off God's property.
The sacrifice of Calvary has paid for them, so let us by faith enforce Calvary's victory for them and cover them with the blood of Jesus Christ, and the enemy has to let them go!!! (Rev. 12: 11)
In the Name of Jesus Christ command the enemy to remove the scales from off their eyes and break every fetter or vice that the enemy has bound them with.

Glory to God for the sacrifice of Calvary, and we are praying for more revelation of all that Calvary means to the redeemed of the Lord. Free from the dominion of the devil but we need to confess God’s Word to enjoy the reality of His truths. (Ps. 107: 2 & Romans 10: 9, 10)
Prayer takes on a new meaning - instead of crying to the Lord to save them, believe His Word, for He has already paid for them. We should be praising Him and thanking Him for including our loved ones in His promises for God cannot lie! (Num.23: 19)

Stop asking God for things He has already given us in His Word - thank Him for His promise, for it shall be even as He said.
Stop asking God to do what He has told us to do - act on His Word and just do it! God will confirm His Word.
What a salvation is this!!! What a Savior is ours!

By faith we should use our spiritual weapons to win this victory for it is a spiritual battle against the powers of darkness!! (Eph.6: 10-18)

Let us ask the Holy Spirit to help us see these truths clearly and learn to act on His Word accordingly! Please read the Scriptures. GOD CANNOT LIE NOR FAIL!

GOD IS IN CONTROL even though it may be out of our control - believe!
GOD IS AT WORK, whether we understand or not – trust!
JESUS CHRIST IS LORD!!

In everything give thanks unto the Lord by faith for He does all things well.
(1 Thessalonians 5: 18 and Romans 8: 28)
