Something my husband read to me this morning really made me stop and think, so much so that I thought I should share it with you...
"The devil only stops doing things when we tell him to in the name of Jesus.
"God gave authority to man - Adam,
man subleased it to Satan,
God became man - in Jesus - to strip the devil of this authority
and died on the cross to empower us with that authority."
-Col 2:15, 1 John 3:8, Col 1:13, 1 John 4:4
"It's one thing that we have been given authority, another thing to live in it and exercise it."
Let that soak in.
