Transforming Power Statements:
1) The presence and work of the devil and all his hosts shall be in progress against everyone, and especially against the saved until God brings a final end to his antics; nevertheless, as we are going through this life, it must be expected that we should develop and escalate our relationship with God, and also plan to all be on guard against the workers of iniquity, who are under the deceit of the devil to do his will.
2) Isaiah teaches us through the Spirit and Word of God that as we are being taught by God that we are also being protected by God against all the devils evil schemes and devices, which we learn that even though the devil is in the business of making weapons against God and His children; that NONE of them that he forms will prosper against God’s elect!
3) Paul the Apostle teaches us in the conclusion of the epistle to the Romans, that everything provided to us by the Holy Spirit through the Gospel of Jesus Christ is revealed truth from the Old Testament and is a message of the goodness of God to ALL NATIONS, to be obeyed and trusted through FAITH, for the GLORY of GOD who has plans to CRUSH SATAN UNDER YOUR FEET!
