"The enemy has no defense against those who know they are God’s beloved!"
Immediately after Jesus was baptized, He was led into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. The devil came to Jesus and said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread” (Matthew 4:3). Now, don’t forget that Jesus had just heard the voice of His Father affirming Him with the words “You are My beloved Son.” Do you notice that the devil deliberately left out the word “beloved”?
Friend, for the devil’s temptations to work, he cannot remind you that you are God’s beloved. The moment you are reminded of your identity as God’s beloved in Christ, he will not be able to succeed! It is no wonder that the devil wants to rob believers of their sense of being God’s beloved. So don’t fall for the devil’s trick. Remind yourself today and every day that you are God’s beloved!

The Sting of Death is Gone
“Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will in any way hurt you.” (Luke 10:19 WEB)
Many troubles we experience in life are the work of Satan and his demons, represented by the serpents and scorpions in the verse above. When they attack, do you know what to do?
The power of a serpent is in its sometimes poisonous bite, and the power of a scorpion is in its toxic sting. The serpent’s mouth is in front, the scorpion’s stinger is at the back.
Jesus is saying that He has given you authority and protection against the front, back and everything in-between of the enemy.
When you understand how to tread on your demonic enemies, you become immune to harm.
““Death, where is your sting? Hades, where is your victory?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.” (1 Corinthians 15:55-56 WEB)
Sin is the scorpion’s poisonous sting which produces death. Satan wants people to nurture their sins so that their sowing into the flesh brings forth the mature fruit of death.
Sin produces death because of the Law (the Ten Commandments). A transgression of God’s law brings the penalty of death and the curse of the Law. Without the Law, sin wouldn’t result in death.
For a born-again believer, sin has become powerless to kill him (the spirit) because the believer has shared in Jesus’ death and has passed from death into life. He has been irreversibly saved.
““Most certainly I tell you, he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life, and doesn’t come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.” (John 5:24 WEB)
Sin is also unable to bring the curse upon a believer because Jesus has redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse Himself at the cross.
“Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,” that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.” (Galatians 3:13-14 WEB)
However, many believers don’t know these. When up against a believer, Satan is like a scorpion without a sting. He still tries to deceive believers that they can lose their salvation and that God curses them when they sin. Making a Christian think that God is against him destroys his faith because who can resist the power of God?
Actually, the only way the sting can grow back is if you put yourself under the Law again. The moment you attempt works-based justification, it’s like Satan’s sting regenerates and is driven deep into your body, inflicting death through the curse of the Law.
“For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse. For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who doesn’t continue in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them.”” (Galatians 3:10 WEB)
Satan may come with lies like a serpent and say, “You sinned again. You’re hopeless. God’s curse is upon you. God is going to destroy you because you keep repeating your sins and are unrepentant.”
He heaps accusations and condemnation upon you. The moment you believe him, you are stung by the scorpion. The curse of the Law takes effect in your life because you have effectively put yourself under the covenant of the Law as a transgressor.
Based on the principle of sowing and reaping, sin still bears the fruit of death, causing sickness, depression, infirmity, aging, and finally the death of the body, but sin cannot cause you to lose your salvation or bring you under God’s curse.
God is for you, not against you. His favor continually shines upon you and it is not by your performance, but by the grace of God, made possible through Jesus’ finished work at the cross.
When you fall because of sin, it is by the grace of God that you can immediately pick yourself up again. Do not cut yourself off from that supply by being self-condemned.
In your war against Satan’s temptations, sometimes you will fall—and God knows that. But you can dust yourself off and get up again by receiving the grace and mercy of God. Do not allow Satan to trick you into thinking that God’s curse is upon you.
The scorpion’s sting has been removed and the Law does not apply to you, so let it stay that way. You are a child of God under the New Covenant of Grace who is led by the Holy Spirit!

It Shall Not Come Near You!
“But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:” (1 Peter 2:9 WEB)
As a born-again believer, you are set apart unto God as His own precious possession. The word “holy” means to be set apart for God’s special purposes.
The devil wants everyone to be focused on the bad things that are happening in the world. He will direct you to look at the one case of a terrible tragedy, when it’s just a rare occurrence.
For example, as a parent, when you send your child to childcare, one concern may be whether the teachers will really take good care of your child, or will they secretly abuse him/her when no one is looking.
This issue is close to my heart because I clearly remember how my teachers in preschool were very rough and mean towards me. During shower time, they just kept spraying the stream of water, not caring that I was struggling to breathe. They took out their stress and frustrations on the children in school.
Online, you can read about other terrible cases of abuse in schools, and incidents like that may cause you to feel fearful and think that it could happen to your child.
Quickly catch yourself when you are having fleshly thoughts of fear and worry like that. Remind yourself that you are God’s special possession and that He will surely take care of everything that concerns you.
“A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you. You will only look with your eyes, and see the recompense of the wicked.” (Psalms 91:7-8 WEB)
Declare, “Bad things like that may happen to the world, but God’s word says that a thousand may fall at my side and ten thousand at my right hand, but it shall not come near me. I am sanctified, and God’s treasured possession!”
When the devil came to tempt Jesus in the wilderness, Jesus quoted the Scriptures as a weapon against those temptations. That is one tactic you can use to overcome the devil’s lies. Store God’s word in your heart and in crucial moments, the Holy Spirit can bring it to your remembrance to give you help in the time of need. In “Silencing the Serpent”, you will learn about the powerful spiritual weapons you already possess, and how to use them to emerge victorious in spiritual warfare: https://bit.ly/silencing-the-serpent
