IN SPITE OF ALL
(Remain Triumphant In Adversities)
TO THE BIBLE: Romans 8:35-37
“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?... Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.”
LET’S TALK
Sometimes, when people receive the life of Christ and become born again, they mistakenly assume they aren’t supposed to face any troubles, adversities, or persecutions. But the Bible did tell us to count it all joy when we go through “diverse tests”—tests and trials of different kinds (James 1:2). Tests, trials, and persecution are all part of the package, so we are never flustered by them because we’re more than conquerors. We are victors in Christ Jesus.
The devil will try to deceive and attack you. He prowls around, seeking someone to devour, but the Bible instructs you on how to respond: resist him with your faith! Ephesians 6:16 says to use the same faith—your shield of faith—to neutralise and extinguish Satan’s fiery darts: “In every battle, take faith as your wrap-around shield, for it is able to extinguish the blazing arrows coming at you from the evil one!” (TPT).
We’re not on the defensive but on the offensive against Satan and his cohorts of darkness. We’re adequately fortified against their intense and continuous assaults, and we have dominion over them. Whether they are principalities, powers, or the rulers of the darkness of this world, they are subject to us in the Name of Jesus.
Keep living in the victory of Christ. Dominate your world, dominate your environment, and give Satan no chance. The Bible tells us in Ephesians 4:27 to give no place to the devil. Remember, Jesus gave us the power to cast out demons. Therefore, use that authority in His Name and subdue the evil and wicked one.
That’s what Jesus said to do: “These signs will accompany those who have believed; in My name they will cast out demons…” (Mark 16:17 NASB). It’s the first of the things He said we could do in His Name. Give God praise for this awesome authority!

Speak
I have dominion and authority over principalities, powers, the rulers of the darkness of this world, and the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. I dominate my world and frustrate the tokens of the adversary—His stratagems and manoeuvres—by the power of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
