We Win!

From: Powerpoint Daily Devotionals - Jack Graham

Ephesians 6:12 "For our struggle is not with flesh and blood, but with the principalities, with the authorities, with the world rulers of this present darkness, with the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places."

As we look at our world today, many Christians are wringing their hands and wondering, “What in the world is happening?” We see war, crime, violence, murder, and sexual immorality, and we think, “Is this really God’s world?” Well, the answer is yes, but we also live in a world under conflict.

You see, Satan has been given dominion over much of the world. He rules over the powers and authorities of this dark world. And because of that, he creates chaos and discord in the world as much as he can. This is the reason why there’s so much sickness and sin pervading our world today.

But the great news is that Jesus is in control. Though Satan’s power is real, it’s temporary. And one day, Jesus will rip open the sky and return, defeating sin, death, and Satan once and for all. We win!
