How Jesus Won Your WarSample

Day Three – Jesus the Dragon Slayer 

Jesus is our dragon slayer who came to defeat our enemy the dragon and set us free. We long for the final defeat of the dragon with the return of Jesus. But the authority of the devil and his demons in our lives has already ended. Jesus has thoroughly freed us from all our obligations to and agreements with the dragon, enabling us to live according to Colossians chapter 1.

Though defeated, Satan and his demons will not be destroyed until the final judgment at Jesus’ white throne. Subsequently their work continues on the earth, which means you must walk wisely. The devil and his demons have no legal authority over any believer. They may take advantage of our sin, folly, weakness, fear, unbelief, and the like.

However, their ownership, dominion, and condemnation of us were canceled at the cross of Christ. For those who belong to and believe in Christ, all demonic ties formed through sin, cultic vows, generational sin, and participation in the demonic realm were rendered null and void forever by virtue of the complete and total victory of Jesus Christ. Your ministry is to believe and exercise that authority.

Despite the fact that he is a doomed, limping enemy, the old dragon remains crafty, as Scripture says. His goal is always the same: to hinder and harm your relationships, starting with your relationship with God. To fool you, Satan, the unholy spirit, will use various tactics that the Bible, our field guide for war, warns us about. The rest of this book is a battle plan to learn the tactics of the unholy spirit and employ strategies to win your war through the power of the Holy Spirit.
