Title: It is the desire of God in Jesus Christ that you overcome the wicked one Satan.
“I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.”
1 John 2:14 KJV
“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.”
Revelation 12:11 KJV
“Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.”
1 John 4:4 KJV
It is the desire of God in Jesus Christ that you have victory over, and completely overcome the enemy of God and mankind Satan. The word of God also describes him as the wicked one, the liar and father of lies, the adversary, the deceiver of the whole world, the evil one, the prince of this world, the accuser of brethren, that old serpent, the devil. Whereas God Almighty desires positive outcomes and glory for you for eternity, Satan has an agenda for negative outcomes that put you to shame for all eternity in hell. He knows that his destiny is in the lake of fire for all eternity and that Jesus Christ defeated him publicly and openly on the cross (Colossians 2:15).
To overcome him you need:1. To know how he works and not to be ignorant of his device. (2Corinthians 2:11). 2. To know the word of God and have a strong conviction on it. (1John 2:14). 3. To understand the victory brought to you by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.(Colossians 2:15, 1 John 3:8, Hebrews 2:14-15). 4. To understand the power in confessing the blood of Jesus Christ.(Revelations 12:11). 5. To understand the power of prayer and fasting. (Isaiah 58:6).
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I thank you for the victory I have over the wicked one as a result of the work accomplished by Jesus Christ on the cross. I declare to you Satan I have nothing in you and you have nothing in me. In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to let me go and serve God. Amen.
