The Daily Word of Righteousness

The Ruler, #26

Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. (Luke 10:19,20)

Evil spirits do not desire to be cast out of human beings, but they are helpless to resist when the Holy Spirit speaks to them through the saints in the authority of the name of Christ.

It appears that superior power has been given to the holy angels led by Michael because of the end-time anointed testimony of the elect, and also because Christ has been formed in the saints and has been caught up "unto God, and to his throne."

The saints on the earth will tread on all the power of the enemy. Also, their names have been written in Heaven. Christ has been formed in them and they have gained authority and power before the throne of God in Heaven (Revelation 3:5).

Victory before the throne of God in Heaven. Victory on the earth. As a direct result of this double victory the elect angels are empowered by the Father to defeat Satan and his angels, forcing them out of the heaven and down into the earth.

All judgment has been given by the Father to His Son, Jesus Christ. The Son of God has passed the administration of Divine judgment into His Body, the Church. It is the Church, the Seed of the woman, that shall crush the head of the serpent (Genesis 3:15; Romans 16:20).

The members of the Body of Christ are God's judges. Judges possess great authority. The officers bearing the weapons of judgment must wait for the decision of the judge.

The heavenly officers bearing the terrible weapons of the execution of the sentence of judgment are the elect angels of the most high God—the angels who excel in strength, performing the will of the Father.

But the elect angels bear no authority of judgment, only the power to execute the decisions of the Judge, Christ, who has been appointed by the Father.

God's Judge is the Lord Jesus Christ. All judgment has been given to the Son.

The decisions of the Head are spoken through the Body because the Head and the Body are one Christ, one Anointed King, Priest, Judge, and Deliverer. As in the human being, the Head and the Body are one person.

The elect angels await the decisions of the Judge. God the Father speaks in His Son because the Father and the Son are One.

The Son speaks in His Body because the Son and His Body are One.

When Michael hears the authoritative decisions flowing from the throne of God Almighty, he is empowered by the Lord God to execute the sentence of Divine judgment.

Michael and his legions rush toward the destruction of the enemy with galactic force. The release of energy is sufficient to overcome all satanic opposition. The Word of God Almighty is in the midst of the righteous angels, a power so great as to be far beyond human imagination or description. Resistance is impossible. God the Father has spoken through His Christ. The enemy is forced out of the heavenlies, down into the earth—the planet he has plagued for so many thousands of years.

To be continued.
