I give unto you power
Like the twelve apostles,the seventy disciples whom Christ
Sent forth later received supernatural endowments as a seal
Of their mission.
When their work was completed, they returned with joy, saying
"Lord even the Devils are subject unto us through Thy name. "
Jesus answered, "I beheld satan as lightning fall from heaven."
Luke 10:17,18
Henceforth Christ's followers are to look upon satan as a
Conquered foe. Upon the cross, Jesus was to gain the victory
For them; that victory He desired them to accept as their own.
"Behold" He said, "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." Verse 19
The omnipotent power of the Holy Spirit is the defense of every
Contrite soul. No one who in penitence and faith has claimed
His protection will Christ permit to pass under the enemy's power.
It is true that satan is a powerful being; but, thank God, we have a
Mighty Saviour, who cast out the evil one from heaven.
Satan is pleased when we magnify his power.
Why not take of Jesus?
Why not magnify His power and His love?
The rainbow of promise encircling the throne on high is an
everlasting Testimony that " God so loved the world, that he gave
His only- begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should
Not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16
It testifies to the universe that God will never forsake His children
in The struggle with evil. It is an assurance to us of strength and
Protection as long as the throne itself shall endure.
