Day 103 – Jesus Destroyed Him That Had Power of Death

¹⁴Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; (KJV) ¹⁵ and in this way set free those who were slaves all their lives because of their fear of death. (GNB)

Hebrews 2:14-15

Here is another truth about the victory we received on the cross. Note the following points:

1. Jesus destroyed him that had the power of death – i.e. the devil
2. In this way, you became free from the fear of death. This fact must ring in your heart, and you need not fear the devil anymore.
3. The devil – that had the power of death – has been destroyed!
4. Consequently, those who were enslaved by fear of any kind have been set free.

Face each of your days with this revelation and understanding; deliberately confess it every day. Let it mix with your faith and thereby walk victoriously in life. Many people today are living under the fear of death, worried that the devil can destroy them. However, Jesus, when He went to the cross, destroyed the devil, that had the power of death. What is your responsibility? Declare this truth; fight the fight of faith with the understanding, and you are more than conqueror. Amen.
