How the work of the cross is diminished

“Since you died with Christ to the elemental spiritual forces of this world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its rules:” Collosians 2:20 (NIV)

Nothing pleases the devil more than for a child of God to still live in sin, sickness, poverty, curses and evil covenants. The devil knows that it was finished on the cross. These issues were dealt with on the cross. When a child of God refuses to enforce the finished work of the cross, the devil is happy. He knows that such a Christian is making the work of the cross of no effect.

I tell you devil will not just work away, he will want to know first, if you really understand your position in Christ and secondly if you can appropriate the finished work on the cross. He will throw all manner of things against you. But you must be bold and reject whatever is not part of the covenant in your life. Reject sin, affliction, sickness, poverty, retrogressing, curses, demonic covenants and such things like that. God is happy to see the victorious saint putting the devil where he belongs.

“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.” 1 John 5:4

“We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;” 2 Corinthians 4:13

Beloved, Jesus set you free on the cross, you cannot be bound. Enforce the victory given to you at the cross by believing and declaring it until you see results that is commensurate with the finished work of the cross.

Prayer for today: I enforce my victory in every area of my life in Jesus name.
