Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases (Luke 9:1). Jesus called His disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, to cast them out and to cure diseases. Notice the word "all" as carefully chosen for us by the Holy Spirit, letting us know that we have power and authority, not over some, but ALL devils. You might say, "But some devils are very strong"; it makes no difference! If you’re born again, you have power over all devils: strong ones, weak ones, fat ones, thin ones, little ones; no matter what kind of devils they are—they’re no match for the authority Christ has given you. While not disputing the possibility of an organized structure of devils, as the Apostle Paul explains in Ephesians 6, the words of Jesus still hold true. Ephesians 6:12 says, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Notice the order: principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world (that’s the highest in the earth realm), and then, wicked spirits or spiritual wickedness in the heavenly realms. This latter category operates and sets up their throne in the heavenly realms, where they control large dominions and rule over nations or regions. They control the affairs of men as men yield themselves to them. However, the Lord Jesus has given us power and authority over all devils, irrespective of their ranks! It doesn’t matter the hierarchy any demon belongs in, you have power to cast him out. What a life of glory, dominion and power given to us in Christ Jesus, to live above the devil and his cohorts of darkness! The Lord Jesus said in Luke 10:19, "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." How much better does it get? Realize that Satan has been eternally defeated, and he’ll never rise again. Keep him where he belongs— under your feet.

Stop lying!!!How did the disciples die and who was responsible for their deaths?

Lol! When your god itself couldn't contain the devil...eventually deported to the earth...

Lord Babs: Lol! When your god itself couldn't contain the devil...eventually deported to the earth...

That coming from someone who does not even have any lord - really cracked me up!

christianity is a devl religion and jesus is satans mother.

Dear poster,
if you are up for death, please dont lure many others to accompany you. Daring black power is tantamus to a walk into the brink of collapse. I pray you will not collapse. If jesus had power over all principality, why not protected himself from premature death. If you follow that biblica deceiption, you are goon.
Have you heard about AGEMO? The rule is women are forbidden to see AGEMO. But one foolish born again woman like you dare it. While others were running away from Agemo, she dare it, carry bible and claimed no evil power against her will prevail. When Agemo got to her house and she refuse to go inside, they just instantly place a CURSE on her. Instantly, she turned lunatic. Make i talk am wel, she don crazy.
Over over 5yrs, no any MOG could heal her.
I beg be wise. If bible deceives you pls dont deceive yourself.

hater!

I know a particular woman at ijebu-ode that fits that category perfectly. The family had to build a house for her where she lives after she turned to a lunatic.

There are rules for dealing with dark satanic forces, it is not to be foolishly confrontational when not necessary. Yes christians have power over devils, but that power must be used cautiously and not foolishly.

If you look at the life of Jesus, he was not foolish in any way like our today's christians:
1. When there was trouble in Israel, God sent Jesus to Africa.
2. When people were trying to trap him, and he senses danger, he usually escapes stylishly, until the right time came.

There was another incidence witnessed by my mother:
A young born again man was trying to by-force preach to a herbalist, the herbalist slapped the young man and the young man became deaf instantly, the herbalist later removed the curse after being begged.

Ecclesiastes 10:8, "He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him." There is a natural hedge of protection around God's people (Job 1:10), but if there's a hole punched in that hedge, it is an open door to the enemy and we can get bitten by serpents (evil spirits). Look at what happened to Job when the hedge around him was removed! Demons affected many things in his life, including his body... which was covered with sores that were caused by demonic spirits!

If you cross your boundary, even as a christian, you shall be destroyed.


Jude 1:9
But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring a slanderous accusation against him, but said, "The Lord rebuke you!"

That account shows us that arcangel michael showed great caution when contending with the devil, he did not start boasting and bragging of power. If you read this well, this should tell you something, that Satan in his current form is still more powerful than arcangel michael. In fact, it is said that satan is the most powerful creature created by God. So angel michael had to call on God to interceed on his behalf rather than relying on his own great power.

Caution: Dont mess with the powers of this world. We are pilgrims in this word. Even Jesus christ told us to be smart - it is a requirement.

@pastormustwacc
it's like your own eyes done open. I beg tell them more. If they dare devil, they are gone.

@saintchrst y u fall my hand last nite naa. . .was waitn 4 u to come online(2go). .abeg 8pm 2day

u seem to forget who the christian is.the christian is a new creation,one who has the same nature with God himself. 2 corinthian 5:17. the new creation is superior to the lucifer himself in the spiritual hierarchy. pls dont be sentiment about the truth. it is either true or not true. lets stop dancing around the truth and looking for ways to fault it. the christian has been given power over all devils,thats the truth.the name of Jesus which we have given is potent enough to drag any demon to his knees.the question is the christians conviction and consciousness of this truth thats where the power is.

the name of Jesus is a tool and those christians u talked about knew how to use the name of Jesus to enforce obedience their story would not be the case. life is spiritual and spiritually the devil has been stripped off of all his power and what u see of the ability of the devil has manipulations,tricks and deceptions, the working of wicked spirits. please learn from this u may need this.

in the old testament, the devil functioned with adamic authority which stole from man.man was next to God in class and authority. angels are junior to adamic authority that the angel had to rebuke him by God. all that has changed now. the devil has been stripped of that authority and it has been restored to the one who will believe in what did by his death and resurrection though Jesus died for the whole world. in the class of things now after God it is the new creation and the devil is longer a factor! glorious news to the one who will believe this. the devil is defeated and remains defeated. all he left is his structure which is still operational in the earth. no christian should be afraid of him cos he is afraid of you. the devil is a liar and everything he does centres on lies.
