In Psalm 44:6,7 the writers show great dependence on God. They say they will not put their trust in their weapons, but it is through God and His name that they have defeated their enemies. Also, in Psalm 60:12, we read: “Through God we shall do valiantly, for it is He who shall tread down our enemies” (NKJV). In the New Testament we are also assured of having victory over satan. The author of the book of Hebrews wrote: “that through death He (Jesus) might destroy him who had the power of death, that is the devil and release all those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage” (Heb 2:14-15; NKJV). Jesus gave us authority over satan. “I give you authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you” (Luke 10:19; NKJV). (See also Luke 9:1). So, we see from these verses that Jesus taught His disciples to use His authority and not their own, not only for dealing with satan but also for ministering to the sick. Romans 15:5 reminds us that without God we can do nothing, but we can do: “all things through Christ who strengthens” us (Phil 4:13; NKJV) and “We are more than conquerors through Him who loved us” (Rom 8:37; NKJV). Let’s remember that as we go through our day and ask God to help us in all we do and speak.
