The Battle Is Already Won!

 God has already won the Battle. He gives us the honor and privilege to co-labor with him in this war with the kingdom of darkness. God, through Christ won the Battle for man. Jesus did not need to be saved or reconciled back to god-we did. He did it for us. Be clear though: IT IS NOT A BATTLE BETWEEN EQUAL POWERS. Satan is equal to Micheal- not God. He's a fallen angel, nothing compared to God. Every time I think of that it makes me shout!! If the Battle is not about power and strength, what is it about? The Battle is for souls! 

As we decide to fight for Jesus, it is clear that the battle has been won, however, man has to exercise this reality and truth. It is totally up to man. That's why we have to stay connected to the vine. Satan knows he's defeated. The only way he can get on top is to deceive Believers. As long as we're ignorant about what God has done and our authority, Satan has the upper hand. 

 Man having a physical body is what gives us authority in the Earth. It is important to remember that man was created to be under authority to someone as we governed the earth, therefore, we carry out in this earth what is coming from the spiritual, unseen realm. Who we choose to be subjected to is on us. As we walk in this world we are subject either to the kingdom of darkness or the kingdom of God. As we stand In Christ, we walk in dominion and freedom. If we choose to walk with Satan, we walk in bondage. Slaves. This is because nothing and nobody will ever be greater than God. Since Jesus has already won the battle for us, as far as he is concerned, it is a done deal! Our responsibility is to walk out that victory here on the earth. That is why the Word says in 1 John 4:4 "You are of God and you belong to him and have overcome them because He who is in you is greater than he (Satan) who is in the world."
