The enemy never does anything new. He always repeats the same attacks. His power is inferior and he does not have authority — unless you give it to him.

When a person is ignorant, the accuser may obtain power through the use of a stronghold over that person.

“Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices,” 2 Corinthians 2:11.

Rest assure, the devil is defeated and he is completely dethroned.

“..Which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, or above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church…” Ephesians 1:20-22.

And the works of the devil have been destroyed.

“He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.” 1 John 3:8.

If you feel that the enemy has authority over through the works of a stronghold, you can remove the enemy’s authority over you by the power and blood of Jesus Christ.

As a guide, you can use these simple steps to remove the enemy’s authority over you:

1. Repent

A heartfelt repentance always removes any legal right of the enemy.

Check your heart, the things you say, your thoughts and actions. If you have any offense, bitterness, rage, irritation, pride, lust, etc. in your heart, rid yourself of it.

When you repent of your sins genuinely, Jesus washes away your sins and removes any authority the enemy has over you.

2. Realign

Every time we, as believers, are close to our breakthrough, distraction will come to shift our focus away from God.

The enemy uses accusations, persecutions, and distractions to take our focus off Jesus. In response, realign your focus and live from the place of victory.

Don’t negate the power of prayer and worship. Live and create an atmosphere where breakthrough is imminent. Remember, you have the victory!

“Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
Hebrews 12:2.
