HWMR-CAPTIVES OF CHRIST 6.21.23

W1D3 How the World is an Evil System arranged by Satan to Frustrate Man from Enjoying God May the Lord open our eyes to see the pernicious one utilizing this world system, the material world with its things, to head up all things under his control, and how he is preparing all things for Antichrist, the man of lawlessness, to appear. More and more the situation becomes evil and also anti-Christian, godless. But praise the Lord, in the spiritual reality we know that Satan’s evil world system, the kingdom of darkness, was judged through Christ’s work on the cross (John 12:31-32; 16:11)! Hallelujah! Through His death on the cross in the likeness of the flesh of sin, the Lord destroyed Satan, who is in man’s flesh (Rom. 8:3; Heb. 2:14). Christ didn’t only bear our sins and transgressions in His body, but as He died as a sinner, Satan was also crucified there, and Christ came to destroy the works of the devil! When He was lifted up on the cross, the world was judged and its ruler – Satan – was cast out (John 12:31-32). In Him the ruler of the world did not have anything – no room, no ground, no possibility in anything. Such a One is in us, and He is exposing and judging the world in us day by day. May we love Him, enjoy Him, turn to Him, and allow Him to renew our mind in His word until we are transformed in His image, not being conformed to this age. Hallelujah, through His work on the cross Christ judged Satan’s evil world system, the kingdom of darkness! Praise the Lord, Christ came in the likeness of the flesh of sin and He destroyed Satan through His death on the cross. Thank You Lord for judging Satan and the world which is hanging on Him. Amen, Lord, in You Satan has nothing – no ground, no room, no possibility in anything, and You came to destroy the works of the devil. We open to You, Lord: expose the world in us, judge the world in us, and transform us by the renewing of the mind so that we may not be fashioned according to this age but be one with You to live a life for Your purpose on earth!
