The Triumphant Church

The Triumphant Church

Dethroned Powers
The Body of Christ needs the eyes of their
understanding enlightened to understand Jesus'
complete defeat of Satan. This is the wisdom of God
that God wants each believer to understand.

1 CORINTHIANS 2:6,7
6 Howbeit we speak WISDOM among them that
are PERFECT [mature]: yet not the wisdom of
this world, nor of THE PRINCES OF THIS
WORLD, that come to nought:
7 But we speak THE WISDOM OF GOD....
Don't let the word "perfect" in verse 6 throw you.
Another word for "perfect" is full grown or mature. No
one is perfect in the flesh, but God does expect us to
mature and grow up spiritually.

1 CORINTHIANS 2:6,7 (Moffatt)
6 We do discuss 'wisdom' with those who are
MATURE; only it is not the wisdom of this world
or of the DETHRONED POWERS who rule this
world,
7 It is the mysterious WISDOM OF GOD that we
discuss, that hidden wisdom which God decreed
from all eternity for our glory.
Verse 6 tells us that Satan has been dethroned. The
wisdom of the mature or full-grown Christian whose
understanding has been enlightened by the Holy Spirit
is that Satan has already been dethroned and the
believer has victory over him in Christ. Let that sink in!
Satan and all of his demon forces are dethroned.
"Dethroned" is defined as to remove from a throne or
place of prominence: deposed. The word "deposed"
means to remove from office, position, or authority,
especially high office.
