Enforcing Christ’s Victory with the Sword of the Spirit from My Position and Protection in Christ, Who is My Testimony and My Life

Satan, originally God created you as Lucifer,[i]* an angel of light, for his glory and service. But you rejected God’s authority and purpose for your existence and became a despicable rebel, a murderer and the father of lies from the beginning.[ii] You are the spirit now working in the sons of disobedience[iii] and come only to steal, kill and destroy.[iv]

But now, the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come to 1) annul your authority and power over mankind through (spiritual) death and thereby to 2) set free whoever has been subject to slavery all their life by the fear of death in all its forms.[v] Consequently, you, who formerly accused the brothers before our God day and night, have been cast down.

Thanks to Jesus, you are overcome in my life (1) by the blood of the Lamb, (2) by the word of the testimony of Jesus’ finished work of redemption through His divine exchange with me and (3) because I do not love my life unto death.[vi] I have been delivered out of your power by God[vii] through the cross of Jesus Christ and now enjoy abundant life in Him.[viii] I am now submitted to God and I resist you, Devil,[ix] and all ungodly influence from any source – in Jesus mighty Name.

Therefore, by faith (believing, trusting, relying, resting) in the all-powerful Name that is above all names[x] – Jesus Christ of Nazareth – and in His delegated authority, I declare and enforce His mighty triumph over you[xi] from my position in Him in the heavenlies, far above all rule and authority and power,[xii] by commanding you and all your ugly demons, on earth and above the earth, to GO from here and from my immediate and extended family wherever we are or go.[xiii]

By the authority of the All-Holy Name of Jesus Christ, The Light of the World, I declare exposed, broken, and null and void all works of Darkness formed against us including every ungodly covenant, alliance, contract, assignment, plan, scheme, conspiracy, accusation, intention, lie, curse, plague, calamity, harassment, attack, intimidation, oppression, depression, temptation, condemnation, addiction, disease, disorder, infection, affliction and sickness. Be gone in the Almighty Name of Jesus, the Christ, our deliverer!

Now by faith, Holy Spirit, I ask for and receive Your continuous infilling to overflowing[xiv] so that we can bear Your fruits this and every day. Accordingly, I declare us free, blessed, protected and prospered in agreement with God, our heavenly Father, by receiving in faith all the blessings of Abraham[xv] and the benefits of our Blood Covenant in Christ Jesus, who is our Hope of glory,[xvi] our victory[xvii] and our everlasting Reward.[xviii] Glory!
