You Live In The Kingdom Of God’s Son
Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness,
and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear
Son (Colossians 1:13).
You’ve been “delivered” from the power of
darkness, and translated into the Kingdom
of God’s love-son. You’re in that Kingdom now, not
when you get to heaven. This is the reason it’s such an
incongruity to accept or even think that the Christian
needs deliverance from Satan.
Satan and the Christian aren’t in the same class.
The Christian is in the Kingdom of God’s dear Son,
too far and too high from Satan’s domain. Ephesians
2:6 says we’ve been raised up together, and made to
sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. We’re
seated together with Christ, far above principalities
and powers. This is the reality.
As long as a Christian believes he or she is troubled
by demons and therefore requires deliverance, that
Christian has left his or her estate. The question to ask
would be where did the demons meet him? Certainly
not in Christ, where he’s supposed to be seated far
above them! That’s the reason as a Christian, it’s
important that you know the Word of God for yourself.
You need to know who you are, what you have, where
you are, and your abilities in Christ; you don’t need to
be afraid of the devil! You’re superior to him.
If you’ve experienced spiritual attacks, perhaps it
was because you didn’t know what to do. All you have
to do is say, “In the Name of Jesus Christ, Satan, stop
it! From this day, you’ll come back no more.” Surely,
he’ll flee and return no more.
Being born again, you live in the presence of God,
and function with the dominion of Christ. Live the
victorious life that you’ve received in Him.
Prayer
Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for transferring me from
the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of your dear Son,
Jesus Christ. I thank you for bringing me into Christ. Christ
is my place—my place of health, wealth, security, prosperity, and
greatness. The prince of this world, Satan, has nothing in
me. Glory to your name forever. Amen.
