I.Promises of Protection 6 – Truths from Ps 91
A.Promises of Protection (Read Psalm 91 NKJV)
1. (v1-13) “He that dwells in the secret place…”
a. “He shall” vs. “you shall”
2. (v14 NKJV/NLT) “You will tread upon lions and cobras, you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet.”
a. Most of what we have covered so far is a defensive position of protection and shelter, but verse 14 regards taking your offensive rightful position of authority over the devil.
B. Take Your Rightful Position of Authority over the Devil
1. (1 Pet. 5:8; Prov. 19:12 AMP) like a roaring lion
a. (Luke 10:17-20; Rom. 16:20; Jas. 4:7) Believers have authority over all the power of the devil and demons.
2. Transfer of Authority
a. (Gen. 1:26-28) God gave man unconditional, unqualified and unrestricted authority over the earth.
b. (Rom. 6:16 NLT) Satan deceived Eve in the garden and Adam forfeited his authority to Satan through disobedience to God.
~(Gen. 2:16-17; 3:1-6) Man’s fall
~(2 Cor. 4:4 NLT) Satan – the god of this world
~(Luke 4:5-7) Satan tempts Jesus with his authority
c. (Heb. 2:14-15 NLT) In Jesus’ birth, death, burial, and resurrection He destroyed him who had the power of sin and death, the devil.
~(Matt. 28:18-20 NLT) Authority to believer’s.
3. (Eph. 6:10-18) Put on the whole armor of God
a. (ref. Heb. 4:12; Rev. 1:10-18; 19:11-16) Two-edged sword
