We are blessed by Heaven through the power of the Lord, or, as Paul called it, through God's grace in our lives (Ephesians 3:2). The immense love of our heavenly Father moves us when we see such a demonstration of power on our behalf. Shortly before writing about this subject, the apostle announced that we were made alive together with Christ by His grace (Ephesians 2:1–7).

         When you surrender to Jesus, accepting Him as Savior and Lord, you are transferred from the kingdom of darkness to the Kingdom of God's love (Colossians 1:13). Therefore, every saved person, if not living in sin, can and should rebuke the devil as he deserves. From the day the Savior paid the price for our redemption, Satan could no longer touch us (1 John 5:18). However, knowing that many Christians do not stand firm in the Lord, the liar tries to make them suffer again.

         Paul declared that he was made a minister of Christ. However, no one needs to be a minister of the Gospel to rebuke the evil one, for to our God and His Father, Jesus has made us kings and priests (Revelation 5:10). Therefore, we must honor this new and dual position, commanding the forces of darkness to be bound and not to touch us. Now, if demons have already achieved some victory in our territory, we can demand their departure (Mark 11:23; Luke 10:19).

         We have the following promise from Jesus: And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. John 14:13. This asking was translated from the Greek verb aiteió, which also means to demand, determine, or take possession of your blessing. Therefore, right now, command evil to retreat and never return. Remain in this faith and you will see your affliction flee (James 4:7).

         The Master said that He will do whatever we determine so that the Father may be glorified in Him (John 14:13). Have you been acting with this purpose in mind?  It is simple: you receive the blessing, and the Father is glorified in the Son. Now, if you have faith in God, believe also in the Messiah who spoke about glorification: “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.” John 14:1. The main reason for being healed is for the Lord to be glorified!

         Everything Christ did on Earth was planned by the Most High. Therefore, when we believe in Him, we become victorious. This justifies the fact that the Son gave His life for us, magnifying the good plan of the Most High. Obey the Lord's commands and live in peace. Be fearless and give the Father the glorification that will put you beyond the enemy's reach. God is the Greatest!

         The grace of God, also known as the working of divine power in the life of those who believe, is ready to spring into action on your behalf. Remember: the Lord will visit you to free you from your anguish and solve any kind of problem. Why suffer if God wants to bless you? Believe!

In Christ, with love,
