CRUSHED AND BRUISED

Our Lord Jesus Christ completely shattered and crushed Satan under His feet when He triumphantly rose from the dead, securing our final victory!

Now, Satan is defeated, powerless against us, and his destiny is sealed in the lake of fire!

Keep fighting, keep looking up!

He's coming!

As our day approaches, the spiritual warfare is intensifying. The enemy is launching his most potent attacks against us, but none of them will succeed, for we are shielded by the blood of Jesus Christ! No weapon formed against us shall prosper! Paul's words are worth taking to heart for some serious encouragement.

Let's think about what they're all about.

"And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly." Romans 16:20

Paul told the Romans to watch out for the enemy's tricks. If he were alive today, he'd probably say in modern terms:

"Hey, believers, get ready to stomp on those demons. Lift your foot high and slam it down on them, squishing them like grapes into wine or breaking bones until they're unrecognizable."

"Bruise" meant crushing grapes for wine, but it also meant breaking bones to bits. "Shortly" comes from Roman soldiers marching strong and loud to clear their path. They'd stomp and pound, not stopping for anything or anyone in their way.

They just kept on marching, stepping over whatever came their way.

Whatever stands in your way today—God's given you the power to crush it! It's under your feet! Keep marching strong, lift those feet high, and stomp through your path!

Don't let the enemy block your way! Jesus destroyed Satan’s power over us through His death and resurrection.

The devil was utterly smashed, crushed, and bruised when Jesus was victoriously raised from the dead. He gave us the power over him and He expects us to use it Keep marching!

Keep moving forward!! Keep looking up, don't let the enemy stop you!! Smash him under your feet.

Jesus is coming SOON!!

Don't let the enemy trick you into thinking otherwise!

This is how you get saved and how you get ready!

Believe Jesus is the Son of God, who shed His blood on the cross, and died for your sins, He was buried and resurrected during the third day, according to the Scriptures, so you can have eternal life with Him.

The moment you believe in Him and that He died for your sins - you're saved, justified, sealed until the day of redemption, and rapture ready!

The Holy Spirit will come to live inside of you - He will help you, guide you, heal you, change you, be with you FOREVER!

  "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." (John 3:16-18)
