The Ministry of Health and Healing
That victory He desired them to accept as their own. “‘Behold,’” He
[43]
said, “‘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.’”
Verse 19
.
The omnipotent power of the Holy Spirit is the defense of every
soul who surrenders to Jesus. Christ will not permit to pass under the
enemy’s power anyone who in penitence and faith has claimed His
protection. It is true that Satan is a powerful being, but, thank God,
we have a mighty Savior who expelled the evil one from heaven.
Satan is pleased when we magnify his power. Why not talk of Jesus?
Why not magnify His power and His love?
The rainbow of promise encircling the throne in heaven is an
everlasting testimony that “God so loved the world that He gave His
only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish
but have everlasting life.”
John 3:16
. It testifies to the universe that
God will never forsake His children in the struggle with evil. It is an
assurance to us of strength and protection as long as the throne itself
endures.
