We know that God’s children do not make a practice of sinning, for God’s Son holds them securely, and the evil one cannot touch them. (1 John 5:18)
When Jesus becomes your True King, no one can touch you, even the devil. Your King Jesus will hold you securely. Nothing can change your position in Christ. When you believed Jesus is the Christ, God gave you the right to become children of God. No one can steal your right as a child of God.
No one can snatch you from the hands of your King Jesus and your Father: “I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.” (John 10:28-29).
No one can take away the eternal life that is in you. No one can remove your name from the Book of Life. No one can undo what your King Jesus has done: “By his death, he might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil” (Heb 2:14). Your former father, the devil, has lost grip on you. You no longer have to listen to his lies and serve him.
You may feel powerless against the evil schemes of your enemy, but your King Jesus will establish you and guard you against the evil one (2 Thessalonians 3:3). In Christ, when you are weak, you are strong (2 Corinthians 12:10).
You may fear failing, but your King Jesus will rescue you from every evil deed and safely bring you into his heavenly kingdom (2 Timothy 4:18). When you fall, He will lift you up and strengthen you. So, don’t be afraid; no weapon turned against you will succeed, and every voice raised to accuse you will be silenced (Isaiah 54:17).
When the devil accuses you of wrongdoings (Job 1:9-11, Revelation 12:10), your King Jesus prepares a table before you in the presence of your enemy (Psalm 23:5). So, stop dwelling on your failures, but start celebrating the victory of your King over the enemy.
Are you still struggling with a practice of sinning instilled by the devil? Don’t worry. Your King Jesus, who has all authority in heaven and on earth, lives in you and works powerfully through the Holy Spirit. He has forgiven all your sins and will strengthen you so you won’t continue to sin.
So now, armed with God’s promise of victory, engage in the spiritual battles “against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms” (Ephesians 6:12).
Whenever the devil advances against you, he will lose again. So, don’t be afraid. The devil is the one who should be afraid of you who believe in the name of the True King Jesus.
Resist the devil. Always be on the offensive. Do not let your guard down. Always stay alert in prayer. In your spiritual struggles, “you will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent” (Psalm 91:13).
Do not give up or be discouraged. The peace of God will soon crush Satan under your feet (Romans 16:20), so go and proclaim the victory of your King Jesus to all nations!
Prayer. Lord Jesus, You are my True King who broke the power of the devil who holds the power of death. Because You live in me through the Holy Spirit, I claim Your victory as my victory over the enemy in my life today. Fill me with Your Spirit so that I may proclaim the message of victory to those living under the power of the devil. In Your mighty name, Amen.
