The Triumphant Churchyou be in a position to resist the devil. Then when you
resist the devil, he will flee (James 4:7).
When Jesus gave me these scriptures, I saw how we
had been missing it. The Church has tried to get God to
rebuke the devil for us. Or we've tried to get Jesus to
deal with the devil in our lives. We've tried to get
someone else to exercise our authority over the devil for
us, and it won't work because Jesus delegated that
authority to each one of us.
Then Jesus said to me, "These are the four
scriptural witnesses I told you I would give you instead
of just two or three. I am the first, James is the second,
Peter is the third, and Paul is the fourth.
"These scriptures establish the fact that the believer
has authority on earth, for I have delegated My
authority over the devil to the Body of Christ. If
believers don't do anything about the devil, then nothing
will be done about him in their lives."
God has already done all He is ever going to do
about the devil in our lives because God sent Jesus to
dethrone Satan! So if we allow Satan to ride roughshod
over us, it's because we have not taken our stand
against him with the Word.

Paul writing to believers said, “... sin shall not have
dominion over you ...” (Rom. 6:14). Another translation
says, "For sin shall not lord it over you."
If anything has dominion over you, that means it
