Pastor Chris Oyakhilome: You’re Far Above Principalities by Joagbaje(m): 8:34pm On Feb 20, 2011
Colossians 2:15
And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.


Paul’s letter to the Church at Ephesus in the sixth chapter of the book of Ephesians lets us in on the possibility of a structure of the devil and his demons. So he talks about the different orders and principalities:

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” (Ephesians 6:12).

So there are principalities, powers, and rulers of the darkness of this world.

Also, Paul refers to the highest cadre as wicked spirits in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12 AMP). These set up their thrones and operate in the heavenly places; they control large dominions, rule over nations and regions. They also control the affairs of men who yield themselves to the devil. But as you study Ephesians 2:6, you observe that you’ve been raised together with, and made to sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. You’re seated with Christ, far above all principality and power and every organization of the adversary. That means you’re superior to even the highest ranking demons!

Realize that you occupy the place of authority in Christ, far above satan and everything that’s connected to him. Satan is a defeated foe, who’s been stripped of all power, influence and dominion. So, it doesn’t matter if he assigns himself or his demons to monitor your activities and try to ruin things for you, they’ve been programmed to fail! In Christ, you defeated satan and all his demons and overcame all the manipulative and evil structures of the world set up by him. Colossians 2:15 (MSG) describes the current dismal and completely powerless state of satan and his cohorts after what Jesus did to them: “He stripped all the spiritual tyrants in the universe of their sham authority at the Cross and marched them naked through the streets.”

So for you as a child of God, the devil and his demons don’t count, so never be afraid of them. Not only has Jesus given you power and authority to cast out devils (Mark 16:17), He also made you superior to satan and his demons. So you shouldn’t have a care in the world about satan and his evil structure and activities in the earth, for you’re seated with Christ in the place of power, “far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come” (Ephesians 1:21).

Confession
I am seated together with Christ in the heavenly realms, far above principalities and powers, where I reign and rule as a king in this life. I live in dominion over sin, sickness and infirmities, and I’ve overcome the world!

Further Study
Hebrews 4:14
Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.

Ephesians 2:5-6
Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are savedwink And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

Once a lot of Christians believe this a lot of things will change for them

Believers need to be wary of the devil and protect themselves from his power. Why?

Proverbs 14:16
"The wise are cautious and avoid danger; fools plunge ahead with reckless confidence"

But we need not live in fear. The power of the devil is no match for the power of God. Christians are to stand firm and resist the devil, praying for God's deliverance and availing themselves of the armor that God provides for their defense. Those who yield to Satan's influence suffer the consequences. But Believers who walk with Christ are secure because they know that the cross has broken the devil's power and that the Lord of Heaven's armies protect them. They know that the Holy Spirit within them is greater than the devil.

We are not to engage the devil by our own strength. It is only by the word of God, we overcome the evil one.

1 John 2:14
" I have written to you who are God's children because you know the Father. I have written to you who are mature in the faith
because you know Christ, who existed from the begining. I have written to you who are young in the faith because you are strong
God's word
(Laws) lives in your hearts and you have won your battle with the evil one." ---- AMEN cheesy

REV12;11
And they(Christians) have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony(Confessions) And they did not love their lives so much that tthey were afraid to die --- Amen cheesy
