SATAN A DEFEATED FOE

"I urge you, brothers and sisters, to keep your eyes on those who cause dissensions and create obstacles or introduce temptations [for others] to commit sin, [acting in ways] contrary to the doctrine which you have learned. Turn away from them. For such people do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites and base desires. By smooth and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting [the innocent and the naive]. For the report of your obedience has reached everyone, so that I rejoice over you, but I want you to BE WISE IN WHAT IS GOOD AND INNOCENT IN WHAT IS EVIL. THE GOD OF PEACE WILL SOON CRUSH SATAN UNDER YOUR FEET." Romans 16:17-20

"He put all things [in every realm] in subjection UNDER CHRIST'S FEET, and appointed Him as [supreme and authoritative] head over all things in the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills and completes all things in all [believers]." Ephesians 1:22-23

"God made you alive together with Christ, having [freely] forgiven us all our sins, having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of legal demands [which were in force] against us and which were hostile to us. And this certificate He has set aside and completely removed by nailing it to the cross. When HE DISARMED THE RULERS AND AUTHORITIES [those supernatural forces of evil operating against us], He made a public example of them [exhibiting them as captives in His triumphal procession], having triumphed over them through the cross." Colossians 2:14-15

"The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil." 1 John 3:8

"You are of God and you belong to Him and HAVE [already] OVERCOME [the agents of the antichrist]; because He who is in you is greater than he (Satan) who is in the world [of sinful mankind]." 1 John 4:4

"He said to them, “I watched Satan fall from heaven like [a flash of] lightning. Listen carefully: I HAVE GIVEN YOU AUTHORITY [that you now possess] TO TREAD ON SERPENTS AND SCORPIONS, and [the ability to exercise authority] OVER ALL THE POWER OF THE ENEMY (Satan); and nothing will [in any way] harm you. Nevertheless do not rejoice at this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are recorded in heaven.” Luke 10:18-20

"ONE GOOD OBEDIENT HEART IS BETTER THAN
ALL THE HEADS IN ALL THE WORLD."

When people throw you stones, it's because you are a good tree full of fruits. They see a lot of harvest in you.

Don't go down to their level by throwing them back the stones,
but throw them your fruits so the seeds of yourself may inspire them to change their ways.

"The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, GOODNESS, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law." Galatians 5:22-23
