The enemy is under Your feet
We are free...We are free
Death has been defeated by love
You overcome
You overcome
We are free...We are free
Death has been defeated by love
You overcome
You overcome
When Jesus sent out the seventy-two in Luke 10, He gave them authority to stand up against the enemy. Verse nineteen reads, "Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you." Matthew Henry writes about this verse...All our victories over Satan, are obtained by power derived from Jesus Christ, and he must have all the praise.
The song continues…
In everything
Be exalted
In everything
Be exalted
One of the the reasons the Lord died and rose again was so we could have victory in our lives. Victory in the sense that we can live for Him and be empowered to stand up against the enemy. His desire is for us to stand firm in our faith even when life gets tough. Psalm 34 encourages us to praise Him no matter what comes our way. Verse seventeen encourages us that when we cry out to the Lord He hears us. It doesn't mean He will always answer our prayers in the manner we would like but we have the assurance that He hears us and will answer us in the best manner for our situation. Verse nineteen promises us when we live a righteous life He will deliver us.

for those who fear him lack nothing.
10 The lions may grow weak and hungry,
but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.
11 Come, my children, listen to me;
I will teach you the fear of the Lord.

and desires to see many good days,

and your lips from telling lies.
14 Turn from evil and do good;
seek peace and pursue it.

Dear Jesus,
Thank You for these words today to encourage me. Father, I do want to praise Your Holy Name for always hearing me when I cry out to You. I praise You for being the One who knows what is best for me. I also praise You for the way You use my circumstances to encourage others. Father, You are so awesome! It is so wonderful to know You go before me to take care of me. Lord, Your death and resurrection enables me to live a life where I do not have to fear the enemy but instead can call out to You to get him out of my life. Woo hoo! Thank You Jesus! Father, today I am claiming Your authority and power to trample the enemy down. Thank You Jesus for being My Authority Against The Evil One. Amen.
