Delivered from the Power of Darkness – Devotional for Saturday, June 18, 2011

Giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.  He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love. Colossians 1:12-13

As Christians we are citizens of a new kingdom, but we often act as if we were still under the power of the Prince of Darkness. God has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love. We seem to have trouble becoming acclimated to our  environment. There is a new king in town. We aren’t subject to the old devil any more. But he still “appears” to exercise power over us. Like a roaring lion he makes noises designed to keep us frightened and enslaved. He convinces us that life was great in the old kingdom. We believe we will miss the old life of sin. He’s a deceiver and he’s really good at it. 


It’s important that we renew our minds to the new kingdom and the new life we’ve been blessed with. Focus on the Word is crucial. It serves as a reminder of all that Jesus has done, the power of the promises He makes and joy following Him brings.

Praying as Jesus taught us help as well. Thy Kingdom Come. Deliver us from evil. 

Satan is defeated.  It is a happy day when we realize it. We have power over Satan; it’s a good day when we tap into it.
