Some Christians become fearful whenever the devil or demons are mentioned. They'll even lower their voices to a whisper when talking about them. Others take an opposite stance and feel that it's their responsibility to "wrestle" against principalities and powers. The truth is, neither group really understands the authority Jesus gave them over Satan and his demonic forces. They don't know they don't have to be afraid of the devil or "war" against the forces of darkness.

Jesus defeated Satan through His death at Calvary. During His three days in hell, Jesus conquered the devil and all of his demonic forces. He also took the keys of hell and death from Satan (Rev. 1:18). Before Jesus ascended into Heaven, He transferred His authority over the devil and demonic powers to every believer, not to just a few select Christians or to those called to the five-fold ministry. (See Matt. 28:18–20 and Mark 16:15–18.)

This authority belongs to us whether we realize it or not. Satan doesn't want us to learn about the authority we have over him and will do everything he can to hide this truth from us. He will fight believers more on this subject than on any other truth. If he is able to blind our eyes to our authority, he can easily defeat us in every area of our lives.

Once we know that we have authority over our enemy, it's up to us to exercise or enforce that authority. It doesn't work automatically. Simply knowing that we have authority over Satan is not enough. If we don't use it, we are allowing the devil to dominate us. Only knowledge that is acted upon will bring results.

Because Jesus triumphed over Satan, we don't have to "war" against our enemy. Our combat with the devil should be from the viewpoint that Jesus Christ has already defeated him. Our battle, so to speak is simply enforcing what Christ has already won for us. Satan can't dominate us unless we allow him to. When we realize this and walk in our authority, we will enjoy the reality of what is rightfully ours and face the devil without any fear or hesitancy.

Some Christians fear the Lord God Almighty, lol.

The read "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding", and they tremble as if they are demons!

I guess the Bible is a big book and we must not pressume all Christians read it.

Tomcorp:

Jesus defeated Satan through His death at Calvary...

Correction sir, The Lord Never Fought or Struggled with Satan, not to even talk of defeating him.

It is rather that The Lord came and Satan fled exactly as there is never a struggle between light and darkness; you simply flip the light switch and the light comes whilst darkness wakas and must Waka! That's all.

No Struggle or gragra! Just as the centurion said "I say to one come and he comes and to another I say go and he goes".

No Challenge nor Contest!
