You are delivered from the power (authority) of darkness and brought into the kingdom of God's dear son (Col 1:12-14). God is not going to deliver you. You are delivered now. It has already happened. It is incorrect to pray that something will happen that has already happened. You do not need to pray for victory over the devil and his weapons. You have victory now. Do not ask God to deliver you from Satan's power. He did! You are in the kingdom of God's dear Son now. Thank God for that!

This is one of the simplest, yet least-acted-upon truths in the Church world today. Most Christians talk about how the devil is beating them up and how bad things are. They are unaware that the devil is getting his power from their mouths. Jesus spoiled principalities and powers (Col 2:15) and they have no legal right to dominate a Christian -- until the Christian gives them that right with his mouth!


Do not talk defeat. Do not glorify the devil by exalting his alleged power over you as a believer. Talk about Jesus and how he set you free from Satan. Talk about the victory that is already yours in Christ. Talk about how you have been brought into Jesus' kingdom already and how he is Lord over every area of your life right now.

Satan is powerless until you authorize him to act with your mouth. He has no authority. You have the authority. Satan's game is to get you to use your authority against yourself. If you say that the devil is doing this and that to you and leave it at that, you have authorized him to act, and he'll surely take advantage of it!

You must stop saying that the devil is beating you up and doing all kinds of bad things to you, and start saying that you have been delivered from the devil's power. If you say that the devil is lording it over you, you are taking sides against the Bible. If you say that you are already delivered from Satan and that Jesus is Lord over every area of your life, you are agreeing with God.


Any idiot can state physical facts. "It looks like the money won't come in. It looks like I'm going to die. It looks like the devil is winning." The man of faith looks beyond the facts just as the two faithful spies saw the giants in Canaan but affirmed that they were well able to go possess the land because God had promised it to them. The other ten spies talked about the giants, and talked Israel right out of the victory that would have been theirs. The giants did not keep the Israelites out of Canaan. Their unbelief of God's promises kept them out. They could have defeated the giants; God told them so. The giants did not defeat even one of them; they defeated themselves and dropped dead in the desert. If they had taken on the giants, the giants would have lost! The devil is no different from those giants in Canaan. He can't defeat you. You can only defeat yourself by doubting God and backing away without a fight.


Sickness is one area in which Satan lords it over believers today. Luke said that Jesus healed those who were oppressed of the devil (Acts 10:38). Sickness is part of the "power of the devil" over humanity. God says that you have been delivered from the devil's power, which includes sickness. This is consistent with Peter's statement, "By whose stripes you were healed." Jesus has made you free from the claims of sickness over your body. Satan has no right to exercise lordship over your body. Because Jesus paid for the redemption of your body as well as your spirit (1 Cor 6:19-20), Jesus is the rightful Lord over your body. The will of God should be done in your body. The will of Satan (sickness) does not have to be done because you have been set free from his power.

Do not ask God to deliver you from the devil's power. Agree with God that you already are delivered from the devil's power. Then act and talk like it. Once you get a revelation of this on the inside, it will be a key to victory for you in every area of your life.
