Jesus Christ has disarmed evil powers for you

““And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross,” Colossians 2:15.

Commentary: Jesus Christ told Peter, one of his disciples that “And the Lord said, “Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren.” ” (Luke 22:31-32, NKJV).

Two things are clear in the quoted Scriptures above: (1) The Devil always asks for the permission to get to you–the believer. This is because Satan can’t just get into your business if your life is truly committed into God’s hands. You are the apple of God’s eye (Psalm 17:8), and to reach you, the Devil must first of all meet God; (2) God doesn’t all the time grant the Devil’s requests. But when He does, God allows that to happen for a particular period and has already prepared a way of escape from the circumstance because He won’t allow you to be tempted beyond your ability to handle the situation (1 Corinthians 10:13).

Prayers: May the victory Jesus Christ has won for us remain permanent in our lives.
