SMASH HIM LIKE A GRAPE



Our Lord Jesus Christ utterly bruised, smashed, and crushed Satan under His feet when He victoriously rose from the dead!


He gave us that victory!


Now Satan has been defeated, He has no power over us, and his destiny is sealed in the lake of fire!


The spiritual warfare is growing increasingly intense as our day approaches. 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!


We should take encouragement from Paul and pay close attention to his words, understanding what he meant by them: "And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly." Romans 16:20


Paul was warning the Christians in Rome to be careful about the schemes of the enemy, he was encouraging all believers to spiritually lift their foot high and then slam it down, as hard as they can on top of him and his demons.


The word "bruise" historically was used to describe the act of smashing grapes into wine. However, it was also used to refer to the act of snapping, breaking, and crushing bones - crushed beyond recognition.


The term "shortly" originates from a military practice of Roman soldiers marching in formation. Their commanders instructed them to lift their feet high, stomp loudly, and create a powerful sound while moving through towns. This stomping and pounding was a signal for others to clear their path. Even if someone obstructed their way or fell in front of them, the soldiers were told not to stop or ask them to move. They were to keep marching, stomping, and pounding, even if it meant walking over obstacles.


Jesus completely 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! Never forget!! —the only place the devil rightfully owns is the small space under your feet!


Jesus achieved a total and perfect work when we died on the Cross and resurrected. The enemy might try to control you or influence your life in a negative way, but remember, his threats are empty and the fear he tries to instill in you is nothing but False (F) Evidence (E) Appearing (A) Real(R).


Don't let him deceive you. The victory is already yours!!!


His fate is sealed, He will be thrown in the lake of fire, along with all his demons, false teachers, and anyone who tried to deceive you!


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 deceive you!


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 for your sins, He was buried and resurrected during the third day, according to the Scriptures, so you can have that 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, and 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." John 3:16-17
