 We just talked about the defeat of Satan and we've understood that he is a defeated enemy, he's a powerless enemy. Now, out of this understanding, some practical things that, you know, will help all of us is what we are going to look at. So, the next section here says complete mastery, complete mastery. So, that means that we have complete mastery and dominion over the enemy. So, whether it is Satan, whether it is his demons, we don't have to worry anymore. Right? Whether, you know, they have any capacity left, any authority left or people may say, oh no, this demon is very powerful. That demon was not so powerful but this demon is so powerful. Whichever demon it is, Jesus has defeated. We have complete mastery over Satan and all his demons, no matter how strong they are. Okay? So, I remember once, one pastor, he was sharing with me like, some of our outreach pastors will share all their stories, right? So, one pastor, he was sharing how he went to a house and they called him and said, please come, pray for this lady, she's demon possessed and all. So, he went apparently like, what is there? We'll cast a demon. So, when he went there, she's very like a thin, weak-looking lady and apparently she carried the whole cot with one leg of the cot. She just lifted up the cot, it seems. The demon is kind of, you know, intimidating the pastor. The moment he saw it, he was like, oh my goodness, what will I do now? Seems like, you know, it's a very powerful demon, this and that. But the long story short, nothing, he just prayed in the name of Jesus and he cast out the demon. It can be any so-called powerful demon. Doesn't matter. That's what practically that is our understanding. No matter who it is, Satan or this demon, that demon, it is true that sometimes we need greater faith. That's what Jesus said, right? In Matthew 18, he said, this kind shall not come out except by player and fasting. What was he referring to? Faith. Disciples could not cast that demon out. Not because the demon is powerful. That's not the answer. It's not because the demon is powerful. But it's about faith, right? So, if we carry that faith, we can go against any demon. That's not a problem. Okay? So, we should not worry about any demon. We have complete mastery. It can be the leader of all demons. Don't worry. Jesus has defeated. You can always stand and tell the devil, you are crushed, you are expelled, you are destroyed, you are powerless. Okay? And Jesus has won the victory 2,000 years ago. So, don't try to scare me. I'm not afraid of you. I speak of the victory of the blood of Jesus. We can begin to speak our faith against demonic powers, against demons that oppress people. Got it? So, we have complete mastery. And let's read some verses. Very helpful. Luke 10 verse 19 and Ephesians 2 verse 4 and 6, 4 to 6. So, anyone who's there can please pick it up. Luke 10 verse 19. Keditcha is reading it. Luke 10 verse 19. Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Okay, wonderful. Does anyone have the Hindi version of that? Should we try? One second Joseph, use the mic please. But the permission that is given by God is due to the great love that He has given us. Luke 10 verse 19. Behold, I have given you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you. So, it's very clear. I have given you the authority and think about this. This instruction or commission was given to the disciples before Jesus died on the cross. Before Jesus died on the cross, He's sending out His disciples and He's saying, okay, you go. You preach the gospel, you heal the sick, you cleanse the leper. So, it's like a foretaste of the power of God which is to be released in wholeness through the cross. Before that, He's telling them, He's giving them authority. And even at that time, He's saying, I've given you authority, you can trample on serpents and scorpions. What is this trample on serpents and scorpions? Can you go around trampling? It's referring to overcoming. It's all figurative language. Scorpions and serpents, it's an image. Again, that we see over here, Jesus is trying to depict the demonic kingdom with these words, scorpions, serpents. They're nothing but demons. And He says, you can trample the way we trample insects. Get it? Do we have to use major weapons? Like if you see one cockroach, you can bring in your best weapons and go through some training. No, you just trample some insects, right? I know it's really sad for the insect, but the point I'm trying to make is we don't worry too much because we know that we are more powerful than that insect, right? So, it's somewhat like that when Jesus is saying, I've given you the authority, you just have to trample. In trample, serpents, scorpions, demons, you take authority. You're already victorious. And it always says, nothing by any means shall harm you. So, we don't have to worry about them attacking us back. Sometimes we have that concept where we say, if we get into deliverance ministry, something can happen. Demons will come back, they'll do this to my family, they'll do that to my ministry. What did Jesus say? I'm giving you the authority. Just trample. It's very simple. You don't have to do much. Trample, serpents and scorpions, nothing. What is the meaning of nothing? Nothing, right? Nothing means nothing. There's absolutely nothing by any means shall harm you. So, how much more clearly can Jesus tell us this? You tell me. He's telling us so clearly, don't be afraid. No demon can harm you. No demon can cause any problems. Of course, they may attack and we've already seen the tactics and methods, but we can always overcome, isn't it? So, it's only as much as we allow the devil to have power in our lives. As I think one of us also commented that it depends on that. But in themselves, Satan, the demons have no authority. It's like trample. This trample, serpents, scorpions, nothing by any means shall harm you. So, let's imagine there's a little child who is now a believer. Little child prayed for salvation prayer. They're a believer. Can that child cast out demons? Powerful demons? Yes. Thank God, you got the point. So, that's what we're trying to say. God has already given us all authority, nothing by any means shall harm us. So, when demons come against us, don't get all flustered. Say, okay, one demon only, no. Come on. Let's use our authority against this demon. We will overcome. So, we have complete mastery over the enemy and all his demons. Now, let us read Ephesians 2. Okay. Can you just throw some light on verse 20, ma'am? Same passage, 10, 20. Okay. You want to read it? Yeah, it says, Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven. Okay. Yeah. So, what does that mean? Look, 10, 20. So, we can notice that some of the disciples, they went and they did the work of God and they came back telling Jesus that ministry was so powerful. Okay. But Jesus tells them, firstly, he tells them, Behold, I give you power to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, all the power, over there is like all the authority that the enemy has and nothing by any means shall hurt you. And verse 20, he says, notwithstanding in this rejoice, not that the spirits are subject unto you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven. So, this is like, you know, one second. Okay, I'm just trying to get the NKJV version. Yeah. So, the 70 people whom Jesus had said, they came back, okay, giving a report. I'll read verse 18 also, just for context. Verse 18 says, I, and he said to them, I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. So, here's the context. There are 70 disciples of Jesus, whom he sent out and said, you do the work of the ministry. Now, it looks like they did a wonderful work of the ministry with supernatural signs and wonders. The reason Jesus says, I saw Satan fall like lightning, meaning the defeat of Satan, like a very resounding defeat. Okay, is what Jesus sensed from the ministry of these 70 people. But he's reminding them of two things here. Firstly, we saw verse 19 that don't worry about the enemy. He can't have. You're already victorious. Second is, we should not take or we should not place our identity in ministry. That's the whole point of verse 20. You know, sometimes our identity becomes ministry. Like if somebody will not call me pastor, I get offended. No, it's just a function that God has given, you know, to let's say, you know, one individual. Other individuals have other responsibilities to work of the ministry. We should not attach our identity to that ministry. Instead, be a very simple person, be very normal. And he says that what should I rejoicing? Yeah, we are rejoicing that mighty ministry is happening. Great, but we should rejoice more in who we are in Christ. That your names are written in heaven. So my greater joy is that I'm a child of God. You know, God is my abba father. My relationship with God is what I celebrate more than, you know, I am this minister. I do this. I do that. So that's the point of the emphasis. Okay, great. So good. Good that you noticed that scripture. So we've now recognized that we have complete mastery. Ephesians 2 verses 4 to 6 is also another scripture passage that we should not forget. So please turn to it at someone. Please read it out. Can I go ahead, sister? Yeah, yes, sister Lucy. Ephesians chapter 2 verse 4 to 6. But God, who is rich in mercy, because of his great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in trepasses, made us alive together with Christ, by grace you have been saved and raised us up together and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Wonderful. So it is talking about our identity in Christ. Okay, about God's mercy towards us, his great love towards us, how he brought us out of our sins. He made us alive with Christ Jesus. And also another position, verse 6. In believers authority, we have to remember this verse 6. Okay, verse 6. What does it say? Raised us up together, made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus. So we all know that there is this positional truth that we are redeemed. You know, we are kings, we are priests, we are the children of God. So there are all these positional truths about us. One of them is that we are seated with Christ, together with Christ in the heavenly places. Okay, we are seated together with Christ in the heavenly places. Where is Christ seated right now? In heaven. Okay, at the right hand of the Father. What is this verse saying? Where are you seated on your chair? Is that the answer? Where are you seated? Yeah, seated with Christ in the heavenly places. But we may argue, I am right here. I am sitting right in front of you. I am not in any heavenly places. I am here. Physically, we are here. Got it. But our position in Christ, where are we? We are with Jesus in the heavenly places. What is the meaning of that? You see, the sitting next to like, if you imagine, you know, think of some major political, political festival or government festival. In that festival, if someone said, okay, your name that placard or, you know, that card is placed right next to the president. You know, please go sit right next to the president. What will that mean? But you are so favored, isn't it? You are so favored, you are sitting at the right hand of the president. You have a lot of authority. You have a lot of influence. They are asking you to sit right next to the president. You carry a lot of authority. Now, think about this. We are told, if you and I are a child of God, spiritually, we are seated with Christ in the heavenly places right now. Okay, though I am here, where is my spiritual position? Right next to Jesus. Okay, so it's signifying great authority, great authority. Jesus has given all his believers great authority. So, no wonder, he says you trample. Trample is word down, right? It's not like, okay, hit on top demons will come and you just hit them because they are not above. They are not above us. They are below us. And you are seated with Christ in the heavenly places means from there you can exercise your authority. So, we can always tell the devil, you know where I am? I am seated with Christ in the heavenly places. From up there, I am exercising my authority on you Satan, demons. It's really powerful. We are sitting in a place of authority and sitting in a place of authority and we can look down on the devil and we can say, come on. We will just crush you, trample you because that's what Jesus taught us to do and that's the power he has given us. Is there anything above heavens above the heaven where God is seated? So, can you find any demons even above? No, no, no. All are bill only. There's no other option. They're all below. So, these are the realities that we have to settle in our hearts. No demon is above God. God is above every demon. So, to never get worried about the powers of darkness. Yes, it is a matter of faith to be able to you know, conquer the power of Satan but it's not a matter of authority. Authority we already have authority Christ has already given us. So, we have to live with this understanding and we will be able to deal with the devil. So, always remember we are not fighting for victory. For victory means there's no victory and then we have to fight we have to overcome and then get the victory over Satan. That's not what it is. Instead Jesus is saying, okay, take the ground. You're already victorious. You're already victorious but Satan will still try to come and trouble us. We are just fighting from our victory. We say, Satan you're already defeated. This is the reality you just, you know, you be in your place. I'll put you in your place. So, we have to remember that we are fighting from victory. Each time we don't have to battle to get the victory. You got it? Yes? No? Yeah. Okay. We're fighting from victory. Now, when it comes to protection we are already protected. Okay. We saw earlier Luke 10 19. Don't forget that passage. It says that, you know, God has given us authority to trample on scorpions, serpents nothing by any means shall harm us. That means we are protected. Satan cannot, you know, cause trouble because we are coming against him. But when is it that Satan can do, you know, things against us from what we are learning? Satan can't do. Isn't it? That is clear. But why is it that he does sometimes? Because of our lack of understanding or because of our fear that he is lack of understanding, fear anything else? Yeah, open doors. Okay. So as a believer, I am actually safe. But if there are open doors then we can't blame God for it. What are open doors? There can be many many many things. It can be unforgiveness. It can be you know, unresolved matters of the heart where we carry bitterness, anger envy, jealousy, lust. So many things are there. We don't deal with it. And what happens is if you give up place then Satan will come. So I was just reading a little bit more about snakes. Okay. For very good reasons. And I found out that apparently they cannot make a house. Okay. And somebody and there's one particular Australian variety of species of snakes which can actually kind of burrow and make a house for itself. But otherwise, they cannot make a house for themselves. So they're quite helpless in that sense. So if they have places like you know, holes that are dug by other creatures or we as human beings, we just throw things around and it's nice shelter for them. They can just go hide there. Then they go and they take shelter. But if there is no shelter they cannot be there at all because they don't have the capacity to make a place for themselves. So that is so true, isn't it? Even about demons that actually they cannot come. But if we give them a place, you know, if there are those open doors, those holes then they can easily come because something is there which will shelter them. So that is the way these things happen. So no open door should be given to the enemy or to Satan. There are many passages of scripture. There are 5 given here. In our notes I'm on page 30 in the PDF version. One says nothing by any means shall harm you. Then one John 5 18. I'm not reading the whole passage but just telling you the highlight of that scripture. One John 5 18 it says that the child of God like he keeps himself and the evil one does not touch him. So Satan cannot touch us. That's what the Bible says. As long as we are walking in righteousness and all the doors are closed. Then Isaiah 44 54 verse 17, no weapon against us will prosper. That means no scheme, no plot of the devil will be successful against us. Even David writes about it. The nations came against me but I conquered it in the name of the Lord. I just conquered everything. Any enemy can come but I'm always overcoming because I'm victorious. So no scheme, no plot of the devil can overpower us. Then Psalm 34 verse 7 the angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him. That means we also have angelic protection. Angels are standing guard around us and Satan cannot you know. Demons cannot attack. We can say these aloud. We can declare these scriptures and say I have angelic protection. God's angels are encamping around me. They are encamping around the place where I live. Nothing will touch us. Nothing will harm us. Then Psalm 91. He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High. Now that I'm walking so closely with the Lord, in intimacy with God, I'm hidden in God's shelter. Satan cannot touch me. Satan cannot do anything to me. He cannot do anything to my family. We can just sit and pray this for hours and declare that I'm safe. I'm strong. I am victorious. Satan is defeated. Nothing will harm me. So in this way we can make declarations because that's what the Bible says. God has protected us completely. But when do we encounter issues when there are open doors and we are the ones who give permission for the enemy to attack us. So it seems like there is a question Yes, Shani? The one about when I was striving for victory, we already had victory. Can you kind of help with how do you apply that in terms of when you're trying to overcome sickness, like when you get sick? My other question is that there are believers that get harmed, raped and stuff like that. How do you, how does that, if we're protected, why does that happen? And like people who meditate on Psalms 91.10, no place to cut it down, but you still get the COVID and they believe it. So can you explain what are those things happen? And then the first one about the sickness. So your first question was in terms of sickness, how do you overcome it? Yeah, because you're saying that we have victory. We are the towards the Christ that I cross. How can we apply that in terms of if we have sickness, ailments in our body to try to overcome it because it's kind of hard when you've been sick for so long and you're a believer and you're still bound the same sickness. Yeah, so see as a believer we know that in Christ Jesus our identity is different from what it was earlier and these are all this is a spiritual position and this is a spiritual reality. But then there is also this aspect of living it out in the practical. So both have to be there. Whatever I am in the spiritual realm I have to live it. For example, I'll just tell you if we say I am holy okay. The Bible does say that now that we are in Christ Jesus I'm the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus and you know I have been sanctified I have been made holy I've been made righteous. But in the life of a believer let's say a believer is struggling to speak truth a believer is struggling to do the right thing. How do you reconcile that? Because you're saying he's holy technically that's true because that's what the Bible says he's holy but here is a believer trying to overcome this weakness of maybe speaking lies. So there is a spiritual reality but then comes in this whole aspect of walking in faith in order to receive the promises to receive to make manifest the truth in our lives. So then the believer walks in faith in the Word of God in the truth of God's Word then he will overcome this weakness that he has. I'm just giving you a simple example. So in the same way we know we are healed in Christ Jesus but then we we catch a cold we feel a fever at a time and if that doesn't mean that the Word is not working in my life as long as we're here on the earth yes we will encounter these challenges but then by faith you apply the Word that's the way to receive it so has Jesus done everything? Yes but there is also the whole aspect of how to receive it. If everyone could receive everything we all would have all the blessings but Jesus said by faith he who believes in his heart if you don't doubt in your heart and then you say to your mountain there are many aspects of faith that we must apply walk in when we receive the promises of God yes it is valid for all of us it's true spiritually it's true but then there is this whole thing of walking it out receiving it by faith drawing it into my life see again spiritual blessing take for example we know I am blessed you know with every spiritual blessing in Christ Jesus as scriptures tell us I think it's Isaiah 48 if I'm not wrong anyway it says the Lord he teaches us to prosper he teaches us how to prosper so I'm what else does it say my God shall supply all my needs according to his riches and glory all that is a reality why are believers still poor why are believers still lacking the Lord is my shepherd I shall not want there are many other things practically to apply that we also have to walk in the wisdom of God we will walk by faith but wisdom is required the Bible talks about the hand of the diligent right is what conquers the hand of the diligent conquers meaning when you work hard you can't stop but be blessed right he blesses the work of my hands so there's no work only then what will God bless right so there are many other aspects Shani so I'm just trying to explain to you even when it comes to healing we can the main way of receiving it is through faith but then there could also be other practical things for example maybe I have to improve my lifestyle improve some of my choices to stay out of that particular issue that keeps coming back okay so a pretty long answer to your short question but I hope it helps you in some way yes it did and what about the ones like if we're protected why do people get harmed or like some 91 10 you meditate on you believe but you still get the COVID no place to come to my devils so yeah that yeah I think we all we all had that struggle during COVID where even you know some believers were passing away and we were wondering when the Sam 91 why is it happening right same things that I said earlier the promises of God are yes and amen but how do we receive the promises there are other things that come into picture faith wisdom so back then during COVID you know if a believer says no nothing will happen to me I'll go no mask no sanitizer so dangerous because because we're not applying wisdom that there is wisdom faith is there but we kind of foolish things right it's like how Satan told Jesus you jump from the height because God's word says he will give his angels charge over you Jesus knew it's a foolish suggestion then Jesus said it is written you shall not tempt the Lord your God so we need wisdom we need wisdom just because one passage of scripture says you dwell in the shelter of the most high we should not go and do some foolish things of exposing ourselves to dangerous you know infection does that make sense Shani yes but what about somebody gets harm like woman gets raped or something like that you know we're protected why does that things like that happen that's a hard question actually so are you asking only about that particular that particular example yeah because Psalms 91 Psalms 91 says you have protection your angels protect you so you know you met it on that right you speak to be protected but then things happen like you get robbed or somebody gets raped or you know something like that so yeah yeah that's really unfortunate and in each I mean each time something like that happens to answer the question of why it happened that is so difficult that is so difficult but I mean I really I think we are in a fallen world and so sometimes these things happen okay I'm not trying to justify what what happens but they do happen and the the only way that maybe we can we can find some some strength to overcome what has happened is to continue in faith right continue in faith put our trust in the word of God and trust that no matter how terrible you know something has taken place in our lives that we can still rise above it and God will make all things good for us yeah I don't know that's convincing enough but yeah okay thank you yeah sure thank you so much right was there a question yeah question just in line with what she was asking we can also conclude that you know the issue is not with the giver's end is that God it's more on the receiver's end that is from us with regard to being applying the principles or you know walking in wisdom has to do more on our end correct see because God has given everything okay but by when by saying it's at the receiver's end it's not even like you're we're trying to blame the believer like if you're sick if something bad happens to you if you get robbed it's your fault it's your problem it's not like that we're what I was also telling Shani is it's very difficult to put our finger on what is the problem sometimes we could say okay let's imagine somebody had an accident right whom do we blame where is Sam 91 you know I'm a church goer I'm a believer I'm a volunteer in church how can this happen to me but what was the problem there can be so many reasons maybe my confession maybe you know faith maybe just wisdom maybe I wasn't smart enough the way I was whatever or it could be something to do with generational aspects where some of the the elders forefathers have made certain dedications that are open doors in my life and I had no clue about it okay so so many things are there it's not so easy to pinpoint the issue you can't be conclusive on one aspect sometimes we can be conclusive but many times there are no answers many times why did this happen people ask the question I would just say yeah I mean we understand that we feel like asking why did this happen to to me but that may not be the right question because you may not find an answer for that question we can find we can try our best and if there's something to learn from that situation learn but don't stay in that question right say okay god how can I how can I move forward how can I do better okay how can I continue in faith in hope those are the better questions to ask to keep going ahead yes yes shani so I guess when things happen that we don't understand if we meditate on some 9110s still get COVID are you should try we should just kind of still believe still believe the word to kind of stay in faith because it does get discouraging to believe that things happen because it makes a believer I don't know if you would be sick for a long time I hope the fear makes the heart sick so you're saying just keep believing the word even though you're still sick or even though you may get the COVID just still keep believing because you see like if you take up like John 14 6 right Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life truth I am the truth you won't find truth anywhere else or if you take like John 17 17 your word is truth it says your word is truth so when God's word is the truth we have to go by it if God says I am Jehovah Rafa the God who heals you I have a covenant I always heal you he heals all he forgives all my sins he heals all my diseases it remains that is the truth now I will ask the question why didn't I get healed there can be many reasons why but does the truth change it doesn't I didn't experience because something went missing you got it so then I have to figure out what could have gone wrong make a change in the future and keep moving forward even teaching others about hey come on like when you believe do this or do that so that others can experience right from God but the point I am trying to make is the truth will never change that is why we have to keep believing it because it's the truth okay experience can change okay I didn't get healed I got healed a bit I got healed quite a bit I am fully healed experience is changing as faith is changing knowledge is changing wisdom is changing submission to God is changing experience will keep changing but truth will never change that is why we have to hold on does that make sense yes thank you thank you thank you so much yes sister Gertrude sister I just wanted to say that even if you believe us Jesus doesn't promise no suffering that our life will be it will be joyful always because Jesus himself has suffered he was nailed he was crucified nailed to the cross so the suffering also is a part of believers and we triumph over the suffering through and Lord is teaching us something through the suffering okay so sister the way we understand this is that by default if we are on the earth there is going to be difficulties take a simple thing for for us to consider in the summers it gets very hot it's not easy sometimes you feel like why is it so hot but we have a mortal body and we are on the earth this is how things are on the earth it's not like God is making it hot for me God is raised the temperature to 35 degrees God is not sitting there and you know like okay raise the temperature he has better things so the way we assume is that God is doing this God is giving permission it's not like that as long as we are on the earth some things are default whether we like it we don't like it we go through some challenges because it's a it's a fallen world it's a corrupted world sin and suffering is already in this world okay sister sister I forgot your question only please would you just remind me that last bit sorry about that I lost my train of thought why is the believer sick you're on mute sister can't hear you you're talking to me sister yes yes yes yeah I was just trying to yeah correct correct I just got that yes sister so the point I'm trying to make here is when Jesus is in this world you will have trouble we understand it like that okay now is it sickness that he is talking about answer is no because he paid the price for sickness then what suffering what difficulty even he faced opposition and persecution so when we talk about persecution that is one thing that Jesus said that his disciples will also go through persecution opposition are we facing that Jesus already said that is something which you know he doesn't he doesn't shield us from persecution got it but sickness it is very clear that trouble doesn't mean sickness is that clear sister yes okay great great let's go on there are some questions in the chat here Nadel says first does the marine kingdom belong to the rulers of darkness so Nadel when we looked at Genesis chapter one and the dominion and authority that God gave he said all the creatures under the sea I give you dominion right so then they are not ruled by the rulers of darkness the way you're stating it yeah so I hope that answers your question then what about witches and wizards are they powers or wicked spirits in high places witches and wizards I think they would come under the category of those empowered people those people who have a dominion domination you remember demons take use them to dominate over large communities of people so we could understand them like that and Shekhar says I would like to add something it might be neglecting the alert that we received from God I had an incident while driving bike three times God said to me they're going to be an accident but I neglected I didn't stop and pray for it and I met with the accident okay fine Shekhar thank you for sharing that so sometimes it's our neglect we didn't obey God we didn't listen to God so that also can put us in a expose us to some difficulty okay great so I think we we are understanding now that basically complete protection is there but sometimes due to open doors sometimes we are not exercising our faith and so we are not receiving that protection that God has given us so in our notes we have a few more highlights and they are very important highlights it says no more court cases no more court cases the reason is that there is this one teaching that recently came up that talks about what courts of heaven courts of heaven where Satan stands accusing us and Jesus is defending us right so the teaching was something like every time Satan will accuse us and then Jesus will defend us but when we look at what the scriptures have to say Jesus has already done the work on the cross he does not have to that work itself is defending us so it's not like there is a court setting and every time Satan comes he brings up something against us and then Jesus comes and defends it it doesn't work like that so just clarifying that Jesus is already done the finished work on the cross and Satan is already defeated so there is no need to fight case by case imagine how many cases will be there of all these millions and bazillion people and per person one bazillion cases also we have to note that Satan is finite he can't be at all places at all times he is causing trouble here and then he has to go up here for every court case in heaven and come back I don't think he can do that he has to be in one given place great few more things no more legal rights so when we say we are redeemed it means that legally we belong to Christ ok so we have discussed this a lot if some property belongs to a person trespassing or the enemy coming in it's not permitted so when we pray we can pray like that I am redeemed my mind is redeemed, my body is redeemed my finances are redeemed my family is redeemed, my property is redeemed Satan you can't touch you can pray like that because he does not have any legal rights on us and no more backlashes meaning when we engage in spiritual warfare to assume that Satan will do something to us it doesn't work like that we have complete mastery over Satan but if there are open doors like Job you know he says the thing that I feared it came upon me how did it come upon him because he feared fear is the open door he feared that yeah it's going to happen like that it happened because that was an open door it's not that Satan was able to attack him then also there is another concept where they say when you go to higher levels in God there will be higher devils okay so when I'm a younger believer then I'll have a certain set of challenges that Satan some demons bring and I become stronger in God another set of demons will come there will be more powerful and then it keeps going like that so when I step into ministry there will be more powerful devils attacking me right and if I grow in ministry then even more powerful devils where is all this coming from is there in the Bible it's not there it's true that some demons it's harder to cast them out but always remember Ephesians chapter 2 verses 4 through 6 where are you and I seated in the heavenly place it's the highest place higher devil let any devil come no however high they are let them come but they're all below heaven got it and they're all under the feet of Jesus and so they are under our feet so don't get worried any higher devil more powerful devil it's not a problem Jesus is already conquered and the Bible has said it in so many different ways so that we get it okay so we carry authority and we need to learn to walk in that authority okay let me just stop here for today we will pray and close if you still have questions on this subject we can always come back and discuss in the next class okay right so would anyone like to pray please leave it open anyone who wants to pray can pray let's pray we thank you for the insights that we have received and we thank you a lot that you have finished the work once and for all we pray that you will enable us to not only be hearer of the word but also doer of your word and to have authority in everything you have given us a lot we come at ourselves and this day into your precious care in Jesus name we pray amen amen thank you thank you everyone hope these sessions have been helpful
