Saul sought to kill David everyday. Take
note that the Devil is trying hard everyday to kill David. The devil wants to
fight the deliverer everyday and not common people. The devil wants to fight and
destroy the generation of deliverers.
The devil fought David and later Jesus,
the Son of Abraham and the Son of David.The devil was aware of the time and
place of the birth of Jesus.
Let us see what he did.
Matthew 2 : 16 says,
Then Herod, when he saw that he was
mocked of the wise men, was exceeding
wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all
the coasts thereof, from two years old and
under, according to the time which he had
diligently inquired of the wise men.
A second recorded genocide in the Bible. A generation was destroyed at the
time of the birth of Jesus. Why? Because
through Jesus, all the nations would be
blessed. The nations would win over the
curse and come out of it. The thought of
death under our feet is a very serious issue. The devil caused a second genocide
in the town of Rama. The devil goes to
the extremes to keep us in bondage.
The Israelites were in a great darkness
and sickness at that time. For the people
20
The Acts December 2013
of Nephthali and Zebulon, who were in
great darkness, a great light appeared to
them. All the sick were healed and all the
poor became rich because of Jesus. The
devil killed the deliverer inorder to put
the Israelites again in bondage of sickness, lack, poverty and fear of death. The
devil attacks seriously because he knows
that a deliverer will come and free us.
During the time of Jesus, there was not
a single sick person. Everybody in Israel was healed because Jesus bound the
strongman who was over Israel. For this
reason, all the evil spirits were shouting, “do not harm us.” After binding the
strongman, Jesus told his disciples to go
and heal all the sick in Israel. So Israel
once again became free. But some Jews,
who could not comprehend Jesus and his
ways, killed him. The Devil was happy
because, Jesus who escaped as a boy was
now dead. But Jesus said, “I have gone but
only to send the Holy Spirit the comforter.”
Even before the foundations of the world
were laid, God gave us this promise.
Genesis 3 : 15 says,
And I will put enmity between thee and
the woman, and between thy seed and her
seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt
bruise his heel.
The seed of the woman shall bruise the
head of satan and kill. We shall not die of
any poisonous drinks or any other harm-
ful things. We have been given power
and authority over all the power of the
devil. Through Abraham, David, Jesus,
the Holy Spirit, the Church and the seed
of the woman – the believers, will crush
the devil under their feet. It means that
the 6000 years plan will be fulfilled when
we crush the devil under our feet. The
devil has troubled the church for 2000
years with severe sicknesses, diseases and
debts.
Inspite of being blessed, the Israelites
were in bondage. Inspite of being blessed, a generation was killed and wiped
out. In spite of being blessed, they went
into bondage and another generation
was killed and wiped out. Everytime we
go into bondage, we have to pay a hefty
price. Jesus died on the cross and paid a
heavy price to give us his image. So now,
after crushing the devil under our feet
we will not go into bondage till the 2nd
coming of Christ. The devil under the
feet of the church is an ancient plan. It
was a 6000 years plan and which could
be possible only by the Holy Spirit. The
Holy Spirit will lead us into all truth.
And the truth shall set us free. So let
us all pray unceasingly for the vision of,
“Death under the feet of the church” to
be realized soon. Amen!
