We all bowed our heads and closed our eyes as the missionary prayed, “Father, in the Name of Jesus, we thank You for the food that has been given to us.” I opened my eyes. Nothing. I thought, This cat’s going to eat plates today. Suddenly, the silence was broken by the sound of the doorbell. We went to the door and discovered four sacks of groceries. It was impossible to get away from that house so quickly without being seen. Yet, no one was in sight! Who, but God, could have brought all that food and left so quickly without a trace? When I came home from the missionary’s house, I told my mama that the angels fed me. She asked me, “What did they look like?” I told her that I did not know, but their food sure was delicious! Folks, there’s a spiritual truth here that we must see. Jesus expects us to keep our foot on the devil’s neck at all times, and He tells us how to do it. By submitting ourselves to God and resisting the devil. Then, he will flee from us (James 4:7). We have no reason to fear the devil, or anything he tries to do to us. He has already been defeated! God tells us in 2 Corinthians 2:14 that we are victorious, and we have been made to triumph in every situation. “Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.” The only way you can fail, and fall prey to the enemy, is when you get out of the spirit and begin walking in the natural. “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned” (1 Corinthians 2:14). It’s time we stop trying to live out our lives in the natural, and stop allowing the devil to walk all over us. Jesus has made us to be world overcomers! In Him we are triumphant in everything, “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith” (1 John 5:4). If you’ve accepted Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, you have been “born of God.” And as a blood-bought child, that means that no matter what this world is throwing at you today, you can overcome it with your faith! Nothing is too difficult for you because you serve a God who is more than able to meet all your needs. Even if He’s got to send angels to put groceries on your front steps, God will work a miracle on your behalf if you put your faith in Him! So, come on! Make a decision today to strengthen your faith by standing firm on God’s promise to you. Stand up and declare, “Devil, I’m not running in fear! I’m not standing in defeat! I’m not putting up with you and your stealing, killing and destroying ways another day! I’m putting my foot down…right on your neck!” V Jesse Duplantis is president and founder of Jesse Duplantis Ministries, with international headquarters in Louisiana and offices in the U.K. and Australia.
