Living in the Victory Jesus Won

Living in the Victory Jesus Won reminds you that He came to destroy every work of the devil so you can walk free and thrive in God’s Kingdom.

“Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil” (1 John 3:8).

Jesus did not come to tolerate the work of the devil or just make a dent in the works of darkness. He came to destroy these works!

The Greek words John used suggest that the devil can attack and disrupt any part of life, anything we do. In other words, the devil and his demonic forces are constantly at work, disrupting people throughout the world in all these areas.

Whether you realize it or not, they are at work in your life. They seek to spread confusion, deceive you into believing lies, and prevent you from receiving God’s richest blessings.

But Jesus came to destroy anything the devil might do. He offers to eliminate any influence the devil has in our lives, to loosen any grip the enemy has on us, to free us from bondage, to dissolve any shackles, and to release us into fruitfulness for God’s Kingdom.

Every day, we must turn our hearts and minds toward God and consider how the devil might be influencing us. Then we must believe that God sent Jesus to destroy the works of the devil. We must receive the complete and total victory we have through Christ.

Don’t tolerate any form of evil in your life. Don’t allow Satan to have any control or influence. Don’t give up or accept any compromises! With Jesus, you have dominion over every demonic force. You can live in His victory!
