Light Will Always Prevail

Read Colossians 1:12–14.

. . . who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son. —Colossians 1:13

Darkness has ruled over mankind since the fall of Adam, but when Jesus came and shed His own blood, darkness was defeated. You no longer have to live a life of bondage to the curse or to circum- stances. You have been translated out of one kingdom into another. In this new Kingdom, you have a new King—Jesus Christ, who now dominates in your life. He has given you life and life more abundantly. As you learn to yield to and obey your new King, you will start to prosper in your life! His goal is that you “prosper and be in health, even as [your] soul prospereth” (3 John 2). This will happen as your soul comes out of darkness into the light through the knowledge of the Word of God. The more light you allow in through the Word, the more darkness you will be set free from. Take the apostle Paul’s advice to Timothy as advice to you from God today: “Study [the word of truth] to shew thyself approved” (2 Timothy 2:15, emphasis added).

Believe in What’s Yours!

The works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. —John 14:12

What kind of works did Jesus do? Daily He met the works of the devil head-on, and daily He defeated the enemy and advanced the kingdom of God. If we believe in Him, Jesus said, the same works would be available to us—and even greater works! We are now, in this day and in this hour, moving into the greater-works realm. Jesus has gone to the Father and has poured out His Spirit upon all flesh. There is enough Spirit and power in the earth today to save and deliver every person. Someone needs to believe and trust in the power the Church now possesses. It has been prophesied by Jesus Himself that we shall do greater works, that we are created and ordained to walk in good works (Ephesians 2:10). Only someone who has the revela- tion of being a new creation, of being more than a conqueror, and of having power over all the power of the enemy, will live in a realm of greater works. The devil has trembled at the thought of the day when the Church believes in its inheritance! His nightmare is manifesting today! We, too, will now start to advance the kingdom of God and do the works we were created and empowered to do!

Are You Living Beneath Your Inheritance?

Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions,
and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. —Luke 10:19

This word was given by Jesus to His disciples before they were born again, before they were anointed with the Spirit, before the devil was defeated. Yet today we see the believer, born of God, full of the Spirit, fighting a defeated devil and losing most of the time. We see Christians sick, poor, depressed, divorced, and defeated! Do we have power over the enemy? Should anything be hurting us? We have lived beneath our inheritance and privileges long enough. Someone has deceived us out of our inheritance, out of our rights in Christ. You have the power to walk on the devil and his demons. You have power over all the power of the enemy. Sickness and disease are no match for the new creation. This victory and position are part of your inheritance. Do not pray to become a new creation; do not pray to get power over the enemy; do not pray to become His workman- ship; do not pray to become more than a conqueror—this is who you are by inheritance. Take up your rights and start walking on situa- tions and circumstances. Don’t let the devil fill your mind with weak and loser thoughts. Meditate instead on your inheritance in Christ. Nothing now can hurt you!
