A Defeated Enemy Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it. Colossians 2:15 Christians r not called to defeat satan.God had already done that in Christ! Nor is it our Mandate tobind satan. Jesus has already set limits on the extent and duration of satans freedom. satan, our ancient foe, was decisively and completely defeated by Christs sacrifice on the cross and in His resurrection. With regard to satan, our assignment is to trust in the victory that Christ already achieved and daily resist him with the truth of his defeat, as Jesus did. Satan is the father of lies and master deceiver (john 8:44) If he can convince u that God has not defeated him,U will find yourself fighting battles that Christ has already won ! U will fear satan though he has already been utterly and humiliatingly defeated. Your responsibility is to resist satan, and he will flee from u(James 4:7) When u resist him, u r acknowledging that Jesus had defeated him and giving u victory over his influence. God has proved u with spiritual armor that is more than sufficient to withstand any assault by satan(Eph,6:10-20). Christians can become preoccupied with battling satan. This deceives them to invest their time and energy attempting to do something that Christ has already done for them.if satan can divert u to wage a warfare that had already ended In surrender, he will have eliminated your effectiveness where God wants u . Fearing satan is fearing a prisoner of war. I have no need or calling to defeat satan; u need only to apply Christs victory in every area of your life and to live victorious Christian life.
