Today I want to share from Kenneth and Gloria Copeland's "Faith To Faith" devotional.
Under Your Feet
The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Until I make thy
foes thy footstool. Acts 2:34-35
Even though Satan lost all his authority on this earth the day Jesus
rose from the dead, for the past 2,000 years he's been running around as a
spiritual outlaw—continuing to kill, steal from and destroy all who will
let him. But, you know, he's not going to be able to do that much longer.
There's coming a day when he's going to be put out of business completely.
There's coming a day when the evil he's done here on earth will be put totally
underfoot by the power of God.
Most believers know that's true. They've shouted and rejoiced over
it—but they haven't really understood how it's going to happen. They haven't
realized that they are the foot that's going to trample down the
works of the devil!
Jesus is the Head of the Church. You and I are the feet. We are the
ones who are going to take His authority and power and stomp on sin and
sickness and every other demonic thing in this earth. We are the ones God is
going to use, as Acts 2:35 says, to make Jesus' enemies His footstool.
That's what Jesus was telling us when He said, "Go ye into all the
world, and preach the gospel to every creature...cast out devils...lay hands on
the sick" (Mark 16:15-18). He was saying, "Go ye and be My
foot." He was saying, "All power and authority has been given unto
Me, both in heaven and in earth. Therefore, you take it and use it to put the
devil under."
But instead of obeying Him, we've waited around wondering when God was
going to do something about this mess here on earth. We've sat around wondering
why it's taking so long for Jesus to come back.
We're the reason it's taking so long! Jesus is waiting on you and me.
He's waiting on us to step out in His power, put the devil in his place, and
win the world. He's waiting on us to drop our silly doctrinal differences and
get busy doing what God said we would do.
The Bible says that one can put a thousand to flight and two can put
10,000 to flight. Every time we get together, we increase our strength
astronomically. If we'd just get together and figure out who we are, if we'd
realize that we're the feet of Jesus, we could kick Satan out of
earth's affairs with ease.
Do you want to hasten Jesus' return? Then quit sitting around staring
at the clouds! Start stomping around in the spirit. Start putting the works of
the serpent under your feet and we can wrap this thing up and go home to glory
real soon!
AMEN! JESUS already accomplished all that was needed to put US in control in our own lives, by HIS Word and HIS Spirit! So, let's GO! Here is HIllsong UNITED with "GO"!
Shalom in Him!
