“Behold, I
have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all
the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.” - Luke 10:19 English Standard Version (ESV)
Have you received
Jesus as your Lord and Savior?
If not, you can do
it now. Receiving Jesus is easy to do.
You need to
recognize that you are a sinner and are being dominated by the god of this
world, Satan.
Then God will take
you from spiritual death to spiritual life.
Your life can be
changed right now by praying this simple prayer from your heart:
"Jesus, I know
I'm a sinner. I know I'm lost, but I want You to come into my heart and save
me. So I receive you now as my Savior and I make You the Lord of my life."
Now you have been
born again supernaturally!
As Scripture says:
"Therefore if
any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold,
all things are become new" (2 Corinthians 5:17).
The last phrase of
this verse in The Amplified Bible says, "Behold, the fresh and new has
come!"
Now you have the
power of the name of Jesus and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of
God, and you can be filled to overflowing with the Holy Ghost.
God's Word says, "He
(the Holy Spirit) Who lives in you is greater (mightier) than he (the devil)
who is in the world" (1 John 4:4 AMP).
Guess what? The god of this world no longer has any dominion
over you.
Because you are now
born of God, you are able to resist the devil.
God's intention is
that mankind be out from under Satan's boot. By reversing roles, you can now
put your boot on his neck and keep him underfoot!
(If you prayed that
prayer for the first time today, we would like to hear from you. Please e-mail
us at mydestiny@cfaith.com and tell us about your decision
to accept Christ. We want to rejoice with you. God Bless You!)
