God
Has Not Planned Any Defeats For YOU!
By Morris Cerullo
You are a
part of God’s end-time plan. This is your year of new beginnings.
God has
not planned any defeats for you.
He has
planned victory for you in every circumstance, every trial, and every
temptation.
Jesus
engaged the enemy in combat in the fullness of the Holy Spirit and conquered
him. God has planned for you to do the same.
When God
sent Jesus into the battle in the form of human flesh to defeat Satan, Jesus
was fully equipped and fully prepared for battle.
In the
Jordan River, the Holy Spirit descended upon Him in the form of a dove as He was
baptized. As a result, He was full of and controlled by the Holy Spirit (Luke
4:1).
Jesus was
led by the Spirit into the wilderness, where He was further prepared. He left
the wilderness in the power of the Spirit and went to Galilee (Luke
4:14).
There, He
began to fulfill the plan and purpose God had for His life. Jesus immediately
began to take power and authority over the power of Satan.
Here are
the 4 most important strategies that Jesus used to defeat Satan with while He
was on earth: Jesus faced Satan in the fullness of the Holy Spirit.
1. Jesus
broke the power of sin. “He told the man, who was sick from the
palsy: ‘Man, thy sins are forgiven thee” (Luke
5:20).
“The scribes and Pharisees said to themselves: ‘Who is
this which speaketh such blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?’”
(Luke 5:21)
“Jesus told them: ‘Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be
forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk? But that ye may know that the Son
of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the
palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.’
And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and
departed to his own house, glorifying God. And they were all amazed, and they
glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, ‘We have seen strange things
today.’” Luke 5:23-26
2.
Jesus broke the power of sickness. “He
told the woman who had a spirit of infirmity and had been bowed down for
eighteen years: ‘Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity’” (Luke
13:12).
“When the ruler of the synagogue became angry because Jesus
healed her on the Sabbath, Jesus told him: ‘And ought not this woman, being
a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be
loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?’” Luke 13:16
3.
Jesus broke the power of death. “When
Jesus cried out with a loud voice, ‘…Lazarus, come forth,’ Lazarus
came out of the grave, bound hand and foot, with his grave clothes still on him’”
(John 11:43-44).
4. Jesus
broke the bondage of Satan. Under the power and anointing of the
Holy Spirit, Jesus commanded evil spirits to leave those who were bound.
To the demon-possessed man of Gadara, He spoke the word and
commanded the demons to leave the man and to enter the swine instead, and a
legion of devils were cast out (Matthew 8:32).
The people were amazed at the power and authority that Jesus had
over evil spirits.
“And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying,
What a word is this! For with authority and power he commandeth the unclean
spirits, and they come out.” Luke 4:36
Through the anointing of the Holy Spirit, Jesus was given
authority — the right to exercise power — over the devil, and the
miracle-working power of God to destroy him!
God has a
plan of victory for you.
He has
planned for you to have an experience, a personal encounter with the Holy
Spirit that will take you beyond the point of blessing, beyond intellectual
knowledge, to the point where there is a continual flow of the dunamis
power of Almighty God in your life.
This
week, dedicate your time and effort to prayer. Make a new commitment to be
willing to do whatever is necessary to have God’s power flowing through your
life.
Reach
out, and receive a fresh anointing of the Holy Spirit upon your life.
Receive
the revelation within your spirit that God has not planned for you to be
defeated in any of the circumstances you may be facing right now.

Say this
faith declaration out loud:
God has
not planned any defeats for me. I must no longer look at my problems and
circumstances as battles that I must struggle to fight and win in my own
strength. I must look at them as spiritual conquests and territories that I am
going to conquer in the power and anointing of the Holy Spirit.
