📖 “But throughout the history of these kingdoms, the God of heaven will be building a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will this kingdom ever fall under the domination of another. In the end it will crush the other kingdoms and finish them off and come through it all standing strong and eternal. It will be like the stone cut from the mountain by the invisible hand that crushed the iron, the bronze, the ceramic, the silver, and the gold. —Daniel 2:44 The Message
We were once a part of an inferior kingdom. We were once under the dominion and control of Satan, the god(ruler) of this world (2 Corinthians 4:4). Satan’s kingdom is an inferior kingdom. When Jesus was on the earth, He overcame Satan and his demons repeatedly. Jesus represented a much stronger kingdom. We are in that kingdom now. There is authority and power in this kingdom. The Bible tells us that the whole world is under the influence of the wicked one (Ephesians 2:2). Satan has no power over us because we are no longer in his kingdom. He cannot control us, and he has no more influence over us. The Bible tells us that we are to resist him (I Peter 5:9). We are to stand against him and every demonic spirit (Ephesians 6: 13-14). Jesus once said that He “saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven” (Luke 10:18). Satan has never been a match for God and He never will. When you get a revelation of the kingdom that you belong to, Satan will never be a match for you either. We have access to everything that Jesus has access to. We ought to overcome the way He does. The Bible tells us that, as He is, so are we in this world (I John 4:17). God expects us to lead an overcoming life. We are to be more than conquerors through Him that loves us (Romans 8:37).
