God Cursed Man’s Tempter

God Cursed Man’s Tempter

“The prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.”(John 14:30) THEREFORE, “Now is the time for judgment on this world; now the prince of this world will be driven out.”(John 12:31)

When man was tempted and fell, God cursed his tempter. “Upon thy belly shalt thou go,” He said, “and dust shalt thou eat.” The sphere thus allocated to Satan was the earth, and his food was to be the very substance of which man had been made. Satan had gained a clear title to all that man had become by turning from God. He has acquired “squatter’s rights” in the old creation. Praise be to God that, through Christ, Satan has now no rights in us. God the Redeemer met the situation by taking the old creation out of the way at Calvary and providing in Christ a new creation. So God has His Man. There is a Man who, even while He was on the earth, could affirm that the prince of this world had no claims upon Him whatever. And this Man on the throne, guaranteeing that Satan has no claims upon us either, since we have been redeemed. The Son of Man was glorified so that we, the children (many sons and daughters), may also be brought to glory. The Sovereign LORD has opened my ears, and I have not been rebellious; I have not drawn back. (Isa. 50:5)

CONFESS AS FOLLOWS:
I am a believer and these signs do follow me. In the name of Jesus I cast out demons, I speak with new tongues, I lay hands on the sick and they do recover. (Mark 16:17, 18)
Praise God!
