We Walk in Victory and Authority

Think of a police officer directing traffic. He may weigh only 150 pounds and can’t physically stop your car, but he has authority. By virtue of his badge, position, and the laws of Texas, that officer has been given authority to say, “Stop!” Not power, but authority.
When it comes to Satan, because Jesus finished the work, because Jesus cried, “Tetelestai!” Satan no longer has any authority over your life or your family. Satan is defeated! Therefore, we war not from a position of personal power, but spiritual authority—the spiritual authority we’ve been given in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ!
When you say, “Stop in the name of Jesus!” you’re exercising that authority. The next time Satan reminds you of your past, remind him of his future—because in the future, he’s going in the pit forever! You now have authority and victory in Jesus Christ. You’re not the devil’s plaything. You’re not the devil’s tool or toy. You have the power and authority of Jesus Christ living in you to live not as a victim, but as a victor.
Therefore, there’s no fear! No fear of death, no fear of life. Because of what Christ has accomplished for us—it is finished—His perfect love now makes it possible for every person to live in victory. God has called us to finish life well, and He promises in Philippians 1:6 that “He who began the good work in you will complete it unto the day of Jesus Christ.” What God starts, He finishes!
