The cross is where the tide was turned for you and me.  We are on the other side of the cross.  We are on the victory side.  Since Jesus came to this earth and completed His assignment, we are forever free from all the dominion of the satanic realm.  We must exercise the authority we have been given over this realm in order to walk free ourselves.  We are free people!  Believe it and receive it!  Take hold of the truth of who you are in Christ Jesus!

Get up and take back the territory that has been taken from you by satan, whether it is in your finances or your physical body or relationships.  Whatever it is, get up and fight for your rights.  And it has nothing to do with the way you feel.  The Word of God is the only, the first and the final authority in your life.  If the Word says it, then believe it and receive it.  You are an overcomer in this world through Christ Jesus.  Rise to the fullness of the authority you have been given.  You are a mighty man/woman of God!

Jesus came to this earth in order to take care of all the works of the devil.  Did you hear that little word “ALL”?  Yes, He came for the purpose of destroying the works of the devil.  That is the best news I have heard in my life.  It’s over.  The battle has been won.  The victory is ours.

We are not to be cowering in some corner somewhere just waiting for the Lord to come back.  He is not coming back for a weak, passive bunch of cowards.  He is coming back for a victorious, overcoming church, one whose power and authority is made known to the kingdom of darkness.  We are the light of the world and the salt of the earth.  That’s who we are!

God guarantees us that He has given us His authority and power to take care of our enemy, satan, and all that he throws our way to defeat us.  That is the best news I have ever heard in my life.  We have been given the authority of God.  Let’s use it as He directs.

Jesus stripped satan and all his demonic realm of their authority and now stands ready to offer that dominion once again to each person who chooses Jesus Christ and His Kingdom.  There are rights in this Kingdom while we are here on this earth.  It is our choice (just as Adam and Eve made their choice) to choose the loving life of Christ or the hard fist of satan and his rule.

We are great and mighty men and women of God, tearing down the enemy’s strongholds in our lives and other people’s lives, taking our God-given authority and using it to establish our rights in this earthly realm.  The result of taking authority over the devil and all his works is true freedom.

The greatest power in the universe is God Who is Love.  If mankind could only see, have the veil removed from their eyes, they would see that anything that they strive for will ultimately be removed and replaced with another greater and bigger earthly “thing.”  What a waste our striving is!  When we lean on Him and allow His Love power to take over, He brings each of us to a place of peace and victory and prosperity, the very things that we are aiming for in our personal lives when we are attempting to do it in our own human ability.

Proverbs 16:3, Amplified Bible, When I roll my works upon the Lord, when I commit and trust them wholly to Him, HE WILL CAUSE MY THOUGHTS TO BECOME AGREEABLE TO HIS WILL and so shall my plans be established and succeed.

We are deposited in God’s care.  He is in charge of us.  That means that we can trust Him to protect us and take care of us at all times.  There are no “oops” times with God when He says:  Oh my, I didn’t have time to take care of you during that time of difficulty.  I was too busy with your neighbor down the street.  No, God is always right there for us.
