For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. (1 John 3:8-9)
Every enemy has their favorite tools of destruction. If you go deep enough into history, you see every people group created weapons for destroying other people groups and nations. Many weapons were specific to the people who created them.
Satan also has his favorite tools of destruction, and they have worked very well from the beginning of time. The devil uses sickness, financial lack, premature death, and fear to come against God’s people.
But I’ve got good news for you! You have victory over the devil and his schemes! Not only that, but Jesus also destroyed all the devil’s weapons.
So instead of pain, ache, and suffering, through Christ you have long life and protection.
Where Satan tries to bring lack of knowledge and ignorance, Jesus brings us the wisdom of God.
Where Satan tries to bring us lack, Jesus brings prosperity.
No matter what the devil tries to throw at you, we must remember they are weapons that can’t work the way they once did. It’s as if your enemy has a bow and arrow, but the string has been clipped, or the sword is dull and bent so it cannot inflict a deathly blow.
God gave you supernatural weapons and grace and favor so that you can be an overcomer against anything that the devil tries to throw your way.
Practical Application – The next time you are feeling sick, or it looks like lack is going to happen in your life, say out loud, “All the enemy’s weapons are destroyed” and celebrate! God has given you victory over all the weapons of the enemy.
Colossians 2:15; Philippians 4:19
