The Almighty dwells in You!
Dear believers, you are of God and you belong to Him and have already overcome the agents of the antichrist; because He who is in you is greater than the Satan who is in the world of sinful mankind. 1 John 4:4
If you are a soundly converted born-again Christian who is living for Jesus, you are not under the dominion of Satan. When you give your life to Jesus Christ, He gives you the power to overcome Satan and his demons. The Bible says that “having spoiled principalities and powers, Jesus made a show of them openly, triumphing over them..” (Colossians 2:15).
Still, as long as you are in this world -which is in a lost and unregenerate state over which Satan rules -it is important that you remember that you are in the middle of what the Bible describes as a “wrestling match” with the devil and his demons (Ephesians 6:11,12) Satan will not concede defeat to you without your resisting him so he will flee. (James 4:7.) The good news of the gospel is that through Jesus we know we can defeat Satan. When we believe in Jesus and repent of our sins and accept Jesus as the Lord and Savior of our lives, we are filled with His Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:38.)
The Bible refers to the Holy Spirit as our “divine counselor” who is in us. We also have the Bible itself to show us the nature of God and the will of God for our lives. So read and study your Bible. Know the Word of God! For you are more than conquerors in Christ.
Your brother in Christ,
Apostle Ashok Martin
