No Longer in Satan’s Domain

Devotional Reading: He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son. Colossians 1:13 ESV

When God created Adam and Eve, man was in communion with God under His kingdom and domain. Satan provoked man to sin, and at the same time, sin provoked separation of man from God, which was death. Sin entered the world because of one man, which also extended death to everyone. Hence, man went from being under God’s domain to being under Satan’s domain.

However, this is good news, that when a person believes in the gospel and in Christ, God frees them from the power of darkness and transfers them automatically to the kingdom of His Beloved Son. Whoever trusts in Christ is no longer under Satan’s authority but now Christ has power over his or her life.

When Christ went to the cross, with His death He paid God for all of our sins, removing all obstacles so that not only could we be part of Christ’s kingdom but have fellowship with God. He has redeemed us through His blood, forgiven all sins, and removed us from any power Satan had over us.

As Christians, in God’s kingdom, we have access to His divine power to overcome Satan. It is a privilege we have, and people who do not have Christ do not have such power.

Prayer and Confession
I declared that I am free from Satan’s domain. I have power over him now that I am in Christ. I have perpetual victory. Amen!
