Colossians 2:15 (ESV)
15 He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to
open shame, by triumphing over them in him.
Christ’s death was a defeat of the power of Satan. Satan’s
only weapon that can ultimately hurt people is an unforgiving sin. Christ took
this weapon away from him!
Colossians 2:13, 14 “… having forgiven us all our
trespasses, by cancelling the record of debt that stood against us with its
legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross”.
The record of our sins was like an arrest warrant- a death
sentence, hanging over our heads. But Jesus took it and cancelled it when he
suffered on our behalf.
Now if you look closely through the eyes of faith, you will
see that arrest warrant nailed to the Cross where His hands were once nailed!
Forgiven! Free! O what a God we serve!
Colossians 2:15 “And having disarmed the powers and
authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the
Cross”.
With the only weapon removed, Satan, along with his forces,
were disarmed through the Cross. Now they can’t harm you. They have to submit
to you. Jesus gives you the authority to trample on demonic spirits and assures
you that they will not be able to harm you. In Jesus, you are victorious!
Revelation 12:11 “And they overcame him by the blood of the
Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to
death”.
We have to believe and we have to speak!
Dear Lord, we thank You for the victory that You brought by
dying on the cross and raising from the dead to take our sins away. In the Name
of Jesus, Amen.
