“After these things the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent them two by two before His face into every city and place where He Himself was about to go.
Then the seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.” And He said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” Luke 10:1, 17-19 (NKJV)
Here itself we see, not the 12 disciples got this command from Jesus, but all 70 of the followers other than them. Every time Jesus talked about the power in a human being and how to use them. He talked about faith and he talked about that we should speak to the mountains and tackle a storm instead of complaining to Him, so on and so forth. God empowered us, so that we take authority over Satan and his plans for Him.
As followers of Jesus we have all the authority and power given to us to use in our own personal life and also to pass on to others, empowering them to do the same. We should not be thinking about our weaknesses and sins all the time to get distracted. This is what the enemy Satan wants to occupy us with, so that we forget about the power we have over him to drive him out of our lives and drive him out of our world too. Just like those followers did, we should make Satan fall like lightning!
Serpents & scorpions are poisonous insects and Jesus said these by no means affect you. So we should not be worried about the food and how they are made whether it is organic or not. Any food is fine for God’s people. You should not be worried just as the worldly people do, who depend on nature; they are bound by Satan without Jesus and are led astray. Through fear factor Satan enters. You should know who you are in Christ Jesus. Let the Word of God you read be applicable to the life-style you choose.
The Lord Jesus is expecting a life we should have by using His Name and authority to overcome the enemy. There is a battle going on in the spirit non-stop and how many of us are aware of this, and if we do, how many of us are taking actions? The Lord is pleased with those who fight a good fight of faith. The Lord is saying the victory is ours. Let us believe His Words. Nothing shall by any means hurt us.
