is given: and the government shall be upon

everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of

Luke 1:67-75
NKJV—Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit,
and prophesied, saying: Blessed is the Lord
God of Israel, for He has visited and redeemed
His people, and has raised up a horn of
salvation for us…as He spoke by the mouth of
His holy prophets, who have been since the
world began, that we should be saved from
our enemies and from the hand of all who
hate us, to perform the mercy promised to our
fathers and to remember His holy covenant, the
oath which He swore to our father Abraham:
To grant us that we, being delivered from the
hand of our enemies, might serve Him without
fear, in holiness and righteousness before Him
all the days of our life.
Weymouth—Zechariah…was filled with the
Holy Spirit, and he prophesied, saying, “Blessed
be the Lord, the God of Israel, because He
has not forgotten His people but has effected
redemption for them, and has raised up a
mighty Deliverer for us…as He has spoken from
of old by the lips of His holy prophets—to deliver
us from our foes and from the power of all who
hate us, dealing pitifully with our forefathers,
and to remember His holy covenant, the oath
which He swore to Abraham our forefather, to
grant us to be rescued from the power of our
foes and so render worship to Him free from
fear, in holiness and uprightness before Him
all our days.”
Luke 10:19
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.
Jesus gave Himself as the last sacrifice of
the old covenant. He became the sacrificial
lamb, offered upon the altar of the Cross for
one reason: to defeat Satan.
The blood Jesus shed is protection for
those who will receive it by faith. In Egypt,
the Israelites who applied the blood of the
sacrificial lamb to their doorposts were
delivered from the death angel. How much
greater is the protecting power of “the precious
blood of Christ…a lamb without blemish and
without spot” (1 Peter 1:19).
By His blood we are separated from every
curse of the law of sin and death and given
access to every promise of the Spirit of life
(Romans 8:2). By His Spirit we have the same
anointing power in which He “went about doing
good, and healing all that were oppressed of
the devil” (Acts 10:38).
Principalities and powers were spoiled in
Jesus’ victory over death. He destroyed the
authority of the devil and every demon of hell,
bringing them down to nothing and stripping
from them the armor they had trusted in!
Moments later, He stepped out of that tomb.
He walked out of there and said, “All power
is given unto me in heaven and in earth”
(Matthew 28:18).
That’s not where it ended either. He said,
“Therefore you go into all the world. You take
My Name. You lay hands on the sick and they’ll
recover. You cast out the devil. I whipped him;
you go enforce it.” (See Mark 16:15-18.)
How do we do it? Jesus said, “If ye abide in
me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask
what ye will, and it shall be done unto you”
(John 15:7). We abide in Him by filling ourselves
with the Word so that we bring its promises
and authority into every situation that comes
before us.
The Word you meditate and act on
concerning your protection is the Word that’s
alive in you, and it will perform all God sent
it to do on your behalf. Just as we receive
wholeness for our bodies through faith, we
will walk in all the protection that is ours in
Jesus’ victory over our enemy, Satan, if we will
believe God for it.
