Defeated Foe
Deuteronomy 18:7
The Lord shall cause your enemies who rise up against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come against you one way and flee before you seven ways.
What enemy are you facing today? Is it lack? Is it sickness and disease? Is it broken relationships? Is it fear? Is it doubt and unbelief? Is it depression? Is it stress? Whatever the enemy is, God has already defeated that enemy for you through Jesus Christ.
As we see in this scripture verse in the Old Testament (which, of course, was before Jesus came to this earth to defeat satan and his foes forever), God had already provided for our enemies to be defeated right in front of us. He assures us that they may come against us in one direction but they will flee before us in seven directions. I think that is very reassuring. How much more assurance we should have now. Jesus rendered satan powerless (Hebrews 2:14,15). He stripped principalities and powers of their authority (Colossians 2:15). He destroyed the works of the devil (which would be the enemies that attempt to attack us) (1 John 3:8). And the Father delivered us from the control of darkness and delivered us into the Kingdom of His dear Son, Jesus Christ (Colossians 1:12-14).
Jesus has already faced defeat for each person on the face of this earth. He has already defeated satan and his demonic forces. He, the Father, and the Holy Spirit are One in me to continually enforce that defeat for me personally. Every day I am victorious because Jesus is my victory.
VICTORY IN JESUS!
