Dealing With a Criminal
The devil is defeated and he knows it! Jesus took away from him everything he stole from Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Satan doesn’t own anything anymore! He doesn’t have any authority. He doesn’t have any real power. With nothing left to him but empty lies and deceit, he’s a total loser.
You, on the other hand, are a total victor in Christ Jesus. Born again in His image, you look just like God on the inside. You have His nature and His authority.
The devil isn’t even in your league!
“So how come I’m still having trouble with him?” you might ask.
Because he’s a thief who comes “to steal, and to kill, and to destroy” (John 10:10). He’s an outlaw and a criminal. You know how criminals are. They do whatever they can get away with. They don’t care if stealing or selling drugs or murdering people is illegal. They keep on doing it until someone catches them and enforces the law.
That’s the way it is with the devil. He doesn’t have the legal right to steal your health. He doesn’t have any right to make you sick. But he’ll keep right on doing it until you stand up to him and enforce the Word of God in your life.
Of course, to enforce the Word where your healing is concerned, you first have to find out what the Word says about it. You have to build up your faith with verses like these:
• “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases” (Psalm 103:2-3).
• “But he [Jesus] was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5).
