Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.
Colossians 2:15
Paul describes a powerful truth about the victory achieved through Christ. This verse states the triumphant work of Jesus on the cross and the defeat of the evil forces that seek to hold us captive.
As believers, we stand victorious and secured with Christ. Every chain that once bound us has been loosed, and the forces of darkness have been disarmed. Satan has no grip on us as believers.
It doesn’t mean that we will no longer face the fiery darts of the devil. It means we have the power through Jesus Christ to overcome. In our daily challenges, let’s draw strength from the reality that we face each battle as conquerors, not victims.
Seek the help and power of the Lord to fight your battles and to fight against temptations. Have faith and know that you already have victory in Jesus.
Pray
Lord, thank You for the victory on the cross. Grant me a deeper understanding of the freedom I now possess and the authority bestowed upon me as a believer. Help me remember to face each challenge from a stance of victory. In Jesus’ name, amen.
