It is finished!

 “When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.” John 19:30 KJV

When Jesus declared, “It is finished,” He was speaking of complete victory. Nothing was left undone. The work of redemption was fully accomplished on the cross. Every accusation against you, every debt of sin, every handwriting of ordinances that stood against you was settled through Christ’s sacrifice. Colossians 2:14–15 shows that by the cross, Jesus blotted out the charges against us, disarmed principalities and powers, and triumphed over them openly. This means your deliverance, healing, peace, righteousness, and victory have already been secured in Him.

Because it is finished, you must not permit the enemy to put on you what Jesus had finished. Just as the wrong child was placed before the true mother in 1 Kings 3:21, the enemy often tries to push false burdens, fear, condemnation, affliction, and loss upon God’s people. But you must reject every counterfeit and stand on the finished work of Christ. The cross was a courtroom of divine justice and eternal triumph. Through the authority of God’s Word, you can enforce heaven’s verdict in your life. As 2 Corinthians 10:5–6 teaches, every thought, argument, and rebellion must be brought into obedience to Christ.  

Prophetic Word: I declare that you will walk in the full reality of Christ’s finished work. Every battle that has lingered against your life is subject to the victory of the cross. Every accusation, bondage, fear, and oppression is overturned by the blood of Jesus. You shall enforce your covenant rights with boldness, and no counterfeit work of the enemy shall stand in your life. What Christ finished for you shall no longer show up in your life in Jesus’ name.

Prayer: Oh God, help me to understand and walk in the full power of the finished work of Christ. Open my eyes to see that my victory, deliverance, healing, and peace have already been secured on the cross. Teach me to reject every lie, burden, and counterfeit the enemy tries to place upon me. Give me boldness to enforce heaven’s verdict over my life and bring every opposing thought into obedience to Christ. Let the victory of Calvary be manifested in every area of my life. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
