Deuteronomy 28:7 7“The Lord will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways.
Some people think that Jesus and the devil are always
confronting and fighting
each other. But when I read my Bible, I don’t see fights
between the two.
What I see is the devil having to flee whenever he encounters
Jesus!
Consider the demoniac from the country of the Gadarenes in
Luke 8:26–39.
The demons in the man begged Jesus not to torment them or send
them into the
abyss, but to permit them to enter a herd of swine nearby.
You see, neither the devil nor his demons can stand before
Jesus. They may be
able to torment people for a while, but when Jesus comes on
the scene, they know
that that is the end of their stay. They will have to flee!
All it took was just one
word from Jesus, and the entire legion of demons had to come
out of the man and
flee into the swine.
As a child of God, you exude a spiritual fragrance which evil
spirits can detect
and which causes them to tremble. It is the life of Jesus
inside you. And He who
is in you is greater than he who is in the world. (1 John 4:4)
That is why no curse,
spell, accusation, scandal or destruction planned against you
can succeed. Your
enemies may come against you one way, but the Lord will
confuse them and cause
them to flee before you seven ways!
Jesus paid with His life to give you this victory over your
enemies. After His
arrest in the garden of Gethsemane, the Jews and Gentiles were
united for the
first time with one common objective: Torture Jesus and have
Him killed. King
Herod of the Jews and Pontius Pilate of the Romans were
long-time enemies, but
because of Jesus, they became friends. (Luke 23:12)
My friend, Jesus’ enemies were united and had “victory” over
Him. But because
He triumphed over them through the cross and rose again,
today, your enemies
will be scattered and you will have victory over them!
