You Lose

SCRIPTURE
Rom. 16:20 ¶ The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. ¶ The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.

OBSERVATION
The two key words here are: Crush and Shortly. One tells us how thoroughly powerless our enemy has been made since his defeat at the Cross and the other word indicates that we do not have long to wait.
In the original Great text, the word translated CRUSH is a verb meaning to shatter; to pulverize, break in pieces or pulverize. The enemy is no match for our God.

APPLICATION
What a great promise God has given us. The enemy will ultimately be defeated and it will take place SHORTLY. This word in the original meant ‘as soon as possible.’ If you are in the midst of warfare, be encouraged today. SOON, God will defeat your opponent. Keep seeking God because He is working in the dark and will bring all things to the Light.

PRAYER
Lord, I rejoice in your power today and your love toward us. Strengthen us to day to stand against the enemy, knowing that you are reigning over our enemy even though he is ruling in this season of time.
