You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, the young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot – Psalm 91:13
The bible talks of the devil walking around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. The bible also likens the devil to a serpent. So, when the bible talks about treading upon lions and serpents, it has nothing to do showing how brave we with animals around us. Rather, it is speaking about us having dominion over the enemy just as Jesus had victory over the enemy on the cross – a victory that was spoken about in Genesis 3:15 when God declared that Jesus would crush the head of the serpent. How wonderful to know that we have victory over the enemy. How wonderful it is to know we do not have to be afraid of the devil. How wonderful it is to know we have power over him. The devil is not as powerful as you think. And even though he may derive power through lies and deception, his power is little compared to the power that is working in us, which is the power of the Spirit of God. With God working in and through you, you don’t have to be concerned about the devil.
I have the power in Christ to defeat the enemy of my soul
