We no longer need to fear of the devil!
All men are afraid of Satan! The first part that the Lord wants to show us the truth that all of Satan's powers were crucified and he was defeated there (Colossians 2:15; Hebrews 2:14). That is why, Satan could never touch a child of God. Satan would touch, only if God allows Satan to work for the sanctification of a person!
Further, another area that God wants to show us is the truth that God has given all his children the authority to overcome all the powers of Satan (Luke 10:19).
Many believers who know that Christ died on the Cross for their sins.... still do not know that Satan was completely defeated on the same Cross. That is why they live in fear of Satan and often get depressed because of it!
Jesus said to His disciples, "Go into all the World and give the good news to everyone..... and these signs will be with those who have faith: In My name they will cast out demons" (Mark 16:15-17).
Men and women have been possessed by demons since the earliest times of human history. But only after Jesus' arrival, people were set free from the demons! Yes, now Christ has defeated Satan on the Cross! Therefore, just as any man's sins are completely forgiven in Jesus' name, anyone could be completely freed from the clutches of demons in Jesus' name!
Prayer:
Our Loving Heavenly Father! Thanks be to our Lord Jesus who forgave not only our sins but also overcame Satan on the Cross! Give us the grace to live without fearing for him yet, in any way! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
