And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes. And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, saying, Let us alone; for what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God … Mark 1:22-24
The demons say to Messiah, “Have you come to destroy us?” Sometimes you think that demons are scary things, but they are not scary to Yeshua at all. In fact they are scared of Him. A whole legion and they are all scared of Messiah. That’s the truth. We act as if the enemy were in charge, or is something to be afraid of.
But, this reveals that the enemy is actually on the defense, certainly in the face of Messiah. If you are in Messiah, then the enemy is on the defense with regard to you. Of course, he doesn’t let on. Few enemies will let on that they are really scared of you.
He wants you to believe that you are defeated, finished, that you are going to lose. You have to stand and take the authority of the Word to overcome. Messiah didn’t believe the lies of the enemy. You need to have that same attitude.
We are not only conquerors, we are more than conquerors. The enemy is more than defeated and you are more than blessed … Leroy
