KEY SCRIPTURE: John 19:2 ISV “The soldiers twisted some thorns into a victor’s crown, put it on his head, and threw a purple robe on him.”

After all the flogging and its pain and shame, these soldiers made Victor’s crown of thorns and pushed it into His skull. Please note, that this was not God doing these acts against His Son, but as Jesus said, this was the hour of evil, and Satan was the one stirring these men to inflict such pain and untold agony on the Son of God. Satan did all these with the hatred to inflict the worst pain on Him, but in the mind of God, it was you and I who were going through all that agony. Isaiah 53:1 asks, who has believed our report, and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?

What report was Isaiah talking about? Isaiah wrote about a thousand years before the coming of the Lord Jesus was prophesying about Jesus, who would painfully bear the punishment of all humanity. He did this so Satan, who had deceived man to sin against God, and as a result of that had the full rights over men. Through His suffering, men could claim exemption from every attack of Satan. Rev 12:11 KJV “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.” To overcome Satan by the blood means to count on the suffering Jesus went through as your very sufferings and so, you are free from any further claims of torment from Satan.

The scripture says affliction shall not arise a second time. Nahum 1:9. We suffered in Christ when Jesus physically bore our shame, pain, and disgrace. You can now align your prayers in such a way that Satan can’t continue His activities in your life any longer. Pray this way; Thank you Father for allowing Jesus my Lord to suffer for me. Satan your activities in my life expired when Jesus bore them and died for mankind. Today, I fully accept what the Lord Jesus did for me, and I command you, devils, to leave my life, right now in Jesus’ mighty name. I am now free from your harassment in Jesus’ mighty name. From now keep saying, ‘You Satan, and your demons are banned from my life in Jesus’ name.’ Start celebrating your victory over him.

THOUGHT: JESUS’ VICTORY WOULD BE OURS IF WE INSISTED ON IT AND DECLARED IT IS SO IN OUR LIVES.
