Good morning, family of God!

John 15:16 says,

You did not chose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My Name He may give you.

If we want to have continual victory over the devil in our lives, we must understand OUR POSITION IN CHRIST and appropriate the power that has been given to us.

As a child of God, you have been translated out of the kingdom of darkness and into the kingdom of God’s dear Son, Jesus (see Colossians 1:13). You are no longer subject to the law of sin and death that governs the world’s system. Before you were born-again, you had no choice but to submit to satan’s rule; you were under his jurisdiction and had no authority over him. However, the moment you accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, everything changed! On that day, God authorized you to tread on all the power of the devil in the Name of Jesus. This is what Luke 10:19 says!

In order to take advantage of your God-given authority as a believer, you must first understand YOUR POSITION IN CHRIST from God’s viewpoint. Ephesians 2:4-6 says,

But God, Who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.

There is no reason for you to live below the standard God has set for you! Lack, sickness, poverty, and bondage to demonic oppression have no place in the life of a Christian. You have been given a royal position in God’s eyes because you are seated in heavenly places with Christ Jesus. This is what Ephesians 1:3 says.

Because of the creative power invested in the Word of God, and because you have been created in God’s image and likeness as a speaking spirit (Genesis 1:27), you have the authority to speak to any situation that does not line up with the Word and command it to leave.

I want you to understand YOUR POSITION IN CHRIST. You have been given authority! It is a part of your salvation package. You must receive it by faith and then exercise it every chance you get. When Satan sees that you are proficient and confident in your authority, he will not know the difference between you and Jesus.

As a part of the body of Christ, your position is undeniable. Ephesians 1:20-23 says,

I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe Him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated Him in the place of honor at God’s right hand in the heavenly realms. Now He is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else – not only in this world but also in the world to come. God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church. And the church is His body; it is made full and complete by Christ, Who fills all things everywhere with Himself.

All things have been placed under your feet. In fact, you are so far above Satan and his demonic forces, he cannot touch you unless you give him access. Jesus has already conquered the devil, and you are seated in the same place of victory with Him.

Here is the key: In order to use your authority successfully, you will have to meditate on the Word of God until your heart is established on God’s promises. This will produce faith in your spirit. Then, when you speak the Word of God, power is released that causes things to change in your life. The Scripture says in Matthew 8:8 that Jesus spoke a word, and the centurion’s servant was healed. That same power and authority lies in your mouth, too, when you speak the Word of God with a heart full of faith.

I exhort you to not let another day of this New Year go by without walking in YOUR POSITION IN CHRIST. When you know who you are and WHOSE you are, nothing can come against you and succeed.

Taking my position in Christ,
