The Prince of this world cometh

People say there is no God. But the Bible tells us that there is a god among us, and we can see the evidence of his works everywhere and all in all places.

Jesus said, ‘The prince of this world cometh and he has nothing in me. In other words, there was nothing in Jesus that Satan could use against him.’ John 14:30

Satan has a well organized system with willing participants, passionate followers, and martyrs.

Luke 11:14-26

Jesus explains the system of darkness, this way:  He said, “If Satan be divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand.”

There is “no division” within Satan’s government.

Di-vision is of satanic origin, and he uses it on humans to advance his agenda, See Genesis 3:1-5; Ezekiel 27:15-19; John 8:44 & Revelation 12:4

The apostle Paul identifies Satan as the god of this world in 2 Corinthians 4:4, as the one who blinds the minds; in other words, Satan perverts our concept of God.

The apostle John said,

“And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon and his angels, and prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in heaven. The great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” Revelation 12:7-9

There was no place found for Satan in heaven

Adam’s sin affected things in heaven and on earth. Once the sacrifice was restored and put in place, God could legally kick Satan out of heaven down to the earth.

This is extremely important and not be played with:

God gave us weapons of warfare. The apostle Paul said, the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds (2 Corinthians 10:4)

Revelation 12:10-11

“And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.”

Those who overcome Satan will value the Blood of Jesus above their own lives!

You must have confidence in the power of the blood of Jesus! This confidence only comes out of a life devoted to applying the Blood of Jesus against the onslaught of Satan and his demons.

You have confidence in the power of the blood because you applied it in battle and have won the victory!

Satan is coming with great anger

“… Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! For the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.” Revelation 12:12b

Satan is defeated

The Seed of the Woman, first prophesy by God in Genesis 3:15, to crush the head of the Serpent is fulfilled in Revelation chapter 12. Satan is soundly defeated, kicked out of heaven. Jesus is seated on the throne as man’s representative.

Notice Revelation 12:13 Satan tries to destroy the woman who gave birth to the man child. Satan failed in his attacks. But according to Revelation 12:17, the dragon went to make war against the remnant  seed of the woman, against those who kept the commands of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Satan doesn’t want anything to do with the blood of Jesus! He knows it is the blood of the covenant promises of God that was shed for our sins.

Satan knows that God values the Blood of the Lamb! He knows what is behind the Blood of Jesus!

So get in the habit of pleading the blood of Jesus’ day in and day out. Plead the blood of Jesus over everything involving you and your family.

The Backing of Jesus

The throne of God is behind Jesus; God hath highly exalt Jesus and given him a name above every name that at the sound of the name of Jesus every knee shall bow of things in heaven on earth and under the earth and that every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is LORD to the glory of God the father, Philippians 2:9-11

Jesus is seated on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, Hebrews 8:1; Revelation 3:21

Jesus’ conquest

Revelation 5:1-14 declares,

“And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? AND NO MAN in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.”

Jesus proved his worthiness through conquest. Jesus defeated every attack of the enemy and secured our salvation!

Creation acknowledges the Lordship of Jesus

According to Revelation 5:11-13, all creation acknowledges that Jesus is worthy to receive power, riches, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and blessing!

100 million plus angels proclaim his worthiness,

“And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb  for ever and ever.”

Once the final harvest comes in and God’s judgments are concluded on earth; God is going to send one angel to wrap Satan up and throw him into a bottomless pit (Revelation 20:1)

Plead the Blood of Jesus!

Grace & peace!
