Today's Scripture *October 18th, 2008*
John 12: 31
The time for judging this world has come, when Satan, the ruler of this world, will be cast out.
The ruler of this world is Satan, an angel who rebelled against God. Satan is real, not symbolic, and is constantly working against God and those who love and obey Him.
Satan tempted Eve in the garden and persuaded her to sin; he tempted Jesus in the wilderness and did not persuade Him to fall! (Matthew 4: 1-11).
Satan has great power on this earth, but people can be delivered from his reign of spiritual darkness because of Christ's victory on the Cross. Satan is powerful, but Jesus is much more powerful!
Jesus' resurrection shattered Satan's deathly power (Colossians 1: 13-14 For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son, who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins. ).
To overcome Satan we need faithful allegiance to God's Word, determination to stay away from sin, and the support of other believers.
1 John 4: 4 But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world.
God, we praise Your Righteous Name!
We thank You for Your great love for us!
Thank You that we can call upon the Name of Jesus and be saved.
Thank You for the power that we have now that we are in Christ Jesus.
For Greater is He (Jesus) that is in us! Then he that is in the world!
Thank You Jesus! In Your Mighty Name, Amen..
God bless you!
