*DOMINION OVER DEVILS .*
Saturday, May 26th .
Pastor Chris
_*And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils… (Mark 16:17).*_
There’re no Christians specially anointed or gifted to cast out demons. Jesus said, _*“…these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils…”*_ (Mark 16:17). The only qualification needed for you to be able to cast out devils is to be a believing one; it’s to be in Christ. Every Christian has authority to cast out devils, including the one that just got born again minutes ago.
Someone might say, “How can that be? Don’t we need to prepare ourselves and pray ‘powerful prayers’ before we can cast out devils?” No! Jesus didn’t even ask us to pray about the devil. He said, “Cast him out!” You never need to tell God to do anything about the devil, because He already did everything He needed to do about the devil, and demons of darkness, and gave you authority over them.
In Mark 6:7, the Bible says, _*“And he*_ (Jesus) _*called unto him the twelve, and…gave them power over unclean spirits.”*_ The Greek word for “power” is “exousia,” and it means “authority.” Jesus gave us authority over unclean spirits. Read what He did to them in hell: _*“Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it”*_ (Colossians 2:15 NKJV). Jesus rendered Satan and his cohorts incapacitated; powerless and useless. But guess what? When He did it, you were in Him.
In Luke 10:19, He said, _*“Behold, I give unto you power*_ (authority), _*to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power*_ (ability) _*of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.”*_ You have the authority to control and tame Satan and his cohorts; to put them in check; and that authority is perfect and absolute. No demon can resist it.
Remember what we read in our opening verse, _*“And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils…”;*_ it’s a law in the realm of the spirit. When you ask a demon to come out in the Name of Jesus, it’s as though Jesus Himself were speaking. Live in the authority of His Name. Refuse to allow the devil run rampage in your environment.
*PRAYER*
*Dear Father, I thank you for the victory of Jesus over the devil and the entire host of darkness, which He wrought on my behalf. Now, I live in the victory and authority of Jesus Christ; Satan and his cohorts are no factors for my success. I live triumphantly in Christ, every day, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.*
*FURTHER STUDY:* *||* *Matthew 10:7-8* And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. 8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. *||*
*||* *Luke 10:17-19* And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. 18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. 19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. *||*

#AFFIRMATIONTRAIN
26TH MAY.
I affirm that the ability of God is at work in me, and I am conscious of it everyday! I don’t function in my own ability or strength, for God’s inherent ability is in me. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. My life is one of endless possibilities, nothing is difficult for me, and no negative or challenging circumstances and situations are impossible for me to change. My strength is renewed, and I am divinely energized at all times for victory. I live the transcendent life! Divinity flows in every fibre of my being, in every cell of my blood, and in every bone of my body! I reign over sickness, disease, poverty, and lack! I am superior to the devil and his demons. Hallelujah! My way is paved of the Lord, and the Spirit of God is ordering my steps and directing the affairs of my life to synchronize with the Father’s perfect will and destiny for me. I am blessed with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. I am recording notable victories and achievements in this year of the supernatural! I make manifest the savour of God’s knowledge in every place, reigning with Christ, and bringing Him glory today. Blessed be God. Hallelujah!
