Colossians 2:15 When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him.

When Adam sinned, he gave all of mankind’s power and authority to Satan. Jesus restored everything that was lost back to mankind. Jesus stripped Satan of all his power. Satan can’t harm us, take anything from us, or destroy our lives, but did you know power can be returned to Satan through our actions? 

There are a couple of ways we can provide Satan with power. The easiest way we give Satan power is through our words. Death and life are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21). When we say things contrary to the Word of God, even jokingly, we give Satan power to activate what we say into our lives. That’s why it’s important not to make statements like, “I’m broke” or “You’re killing me.” 

Another way we give Satan power is through disobedience. God may tell us to do a certain thing that seems scary on the surface. If Satan can influence us, through fear, worry, or anxiety, not to do that thing, we gave Satan the power to govern and direct our lives. This allows Satan’s will to be done on earth instead of God’s will. Also, that fear, worry, or anxiety that we received from Satan, negatively impacts our minds and bodies leaving us with high blood pressure, panic attacks, or mental breakdowns. 

Jesus suffered too much for us to return our power back to Satan. Walk and talk in the ways of righteousness to keep the devil powerless.
