“…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….” – Luke 10:19 (NKJV)
The day I saw the scripture above, in the Bible, it became clear to me that Jesus affirmed that there are enemies. That’s why He used the word serpents and scorpions. These animals carry poisonous bites or stings that lead to death. But Jesus said, “I give you the power to tread on them”. To tread means to walk on, or trample or to press beneath your feet. And it is not just Serpents and scorpions, but over every power of the enemy. So it means in any form or way the enemy may wage a war against you, Jesus has given us the power to press them beneath our feet–the power to trample on them, the power to crush and destroy the power of the enemy.
Because of this, I am convinced that Jesus is telling us, not to be afraid of the enemy. The enemy may be wicked, he could be wild and fierce, he could be big and stubborn; but Jesus says, we have the power already to crush them. They could be many in number, Jesus is saying, we have power over all the power they could ever possess, and they will never be able to hurt you, because you have all you need to defeat the enemy.
In the book of Revelation 1:18, our Lord Jesus Christ said something very significant that will help you to completely overcome the adversary at all times. He said, “…do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last. I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death…” Did you see that! He has the keys of Hell and Death and as such, every demon hatched out of hell is subject to Him and because you are complete in Him (Colossians 2:10), they are also subject to you as well. Therefore, it is important to know that the enemy cannot hurt you.
Don’t let the enemy rejoice at your expense because he finds you crying at his torments, or finds you trying to run away because you feel the matter is too difficult. Face the adversary and enjoy defeating him. Know this, that nothing is too difficult that cannot be solved; nothing is too hard, that cannot be broken. In Jeremiah 32:27 God said, “Behold, I am The Lord, the God of all flesh, is there anything too difficult for Me?” so I ask you today, is there anything God cannot do? Is there anything God cannot fix? Of course, there is none. Remain bold and confront the adversary. You will always win. Hallelujah!
