The promise of God is certain to His saints: the
forces of evil shall soon be humiliated and crushed. Paul wrote the
Roman Church in the face of their conflicts with the agents of Satan
operating in their midst, engendering strife, division and falsehood.
He encouraged them to persevere in faith and constantly resist those
forces, with the certain hope that Satan will be shortly crushed.
Today we are faced with various manners of satanic invasion
against our world, manifesting through deception, falsehood,
witchcraft, and occultism. These forces of darkness have permeated
every facet of the human society and have also found their way
into the body of Christ – the Church. But there is a certain
promise from God, the Author of true peace, that all these forces
will soon bow to His sovereign power through us, His saints,
as we arise in spiritual warfare and persevere in faith. And
Just as Christ, the Seed of the woman bruised the head of the
old serpent (Gen 3:15; Gal 4:4), we, the soldiers of Christ,
shall triumph over Satan and the forces of darkness.
The word of the Lord to you as a child of God is to stand in
faith and fight against the forces of evil around you. Pray in
authority against these forces of deception, falsehood, witchcraft
and occultism. Remember that you are a soldier in the army of
the Lord, and you are not alone in the fight (Ps 60:12, Lk 10:18-19).
God is with you and will grant you the victory. The grace of
our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
