Colossians 2:15 (KJV)
And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
When Jesus was on the cross, the sins of the whole world were on Him. So when He died, He went to Hell, and the Devil and his cohorts grabbed hold of Him. They thought, "we've got Him now!" but they were in for the shock of their lives when He shook them off like bothersome gnats!
Jesus flicked the Devil off like the bug-like specimen the Devil is, but understand that He did that as a man. He was not yet born again because He had not yet been resurrected nor His blood sprinkled on the mercy seat. Now, if the man, Jesus, could defeat the Devil and his cohorts on the Devil's territory, how much more are you capable of?
There are times when you feel like you are going throughHell. That is an exaggerated way of saying you are going through a lot. But know this: you do not need to defeat the Devil. He is already defeated! If you think the Devil is troubling you, that means one thing: he is trespassing, and you have the authority to kick him out! You have the one who shook the Devil off inside you. He is the Word, so when He shook the Devil off, it was the Word doing it. You can do the same.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
The word of God in me and in my mouth is a deadly insecticide for the Devil. I fear no evil, for God is with me!
