Ten Toes of Victory | Pastor Larry Stockstill | Aug 17th, 2025

Ten toes of victory in every battle A. Luke 10:19—“Behold, I give unto you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the ability of the enemy. And nothing will by any means hurt you”1. I have AUTHORITY over Satan’s ability. Jesus saw Satan fall like lightning. He is totally defeated. He said that we should not rejoice that demons are subject to us, but that our names are written in heaven. B. Isa. 43: 1-2—“When you pass through the waters, I WILL BE WITH YOU; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.” 1. The Lord is on my side. The three Hebrew children walked through the fire and were unharmed because Jesus was in the furnace. It felt like AC, the flame did not “kindle” upon them. C. Isa. 54:17—“No weapon that is formed against you will prosper; Andevery tongue that accuses you in judgment you will condemn” 1. Every demonic weapon will fall apart. Even if Satan prepares financial, legal, physical weapons against you and your family, IT WILL NOT SUCCEED. Every tongue that rises against us in judgment, we will condemn it. D. Col. 2: 15—“He DISARMED the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him.” 1. Satan was totally defeated in the resurrection. Christ has stripped (“to strip the hide off an animal”) all rulers and authorities of their sham power. E. James 4:7—“Resist the devil and he will flee from you.”1. Satan is terrified of a believer. Satan runs in terror when you resist him. In the OT, the Bible says that our enemies will FLEE seven ways. Demons “TREMBLE” at the name of Jesus. F. 1 Jn. 2: 14—“You are strong and the WORD OF GOD abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.” 1. Scripture is the sword Satan cannot overcome. Jesus used the Scripture to counter every false argument and lie of the enemy. Find verses that apply to your crisis and begin to speak them out of your mouth. G. Rev. 12:11—“And they have conquered him by the BLOOD of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony” 1. I conquer Satan by the blood of the Lamb. 2. Jesus’ blood speaks a better word: “redeemed.” We are redeemed, not with silver and gold but the precious blood of Christ. Let the redeemed of the Lord SAY SO. 3. The blood on the doorpost protected Israel from the angel of death. H. 1 Jn. 4:4—“You are from God and have overcome them, for he who is IN YOU IS GREATER than he who is in the world.” 1. I have the greatest power in the entire world living inside of me. The Holy Spirit inside of us is far greater than demonic spirits in this world. 2. This is the importance of the baptism in the Spirit, the gifts of theSpirit, the prayer language. Our spirit has the power to overcome every spirit of darkness. I. Ps. 91:13—“You will tread on the lion and the adder.” 1. I can place my foot on Satan’s head. Satan is a “roaring lion.” It is an open, bold enemy. An adder is a secret, malignant enemy who speaks and acts in secret to destroy you. 2. Daniel “tread on the lion.” Instead of a roaring, he heard a “Meow!” J. Rom. 16:20—“The God of peace will SOON crush Satan under your feet.” 1. This battle will be over SOON. How long will this battle last? When will it be OVER? “I DON’T KNOW!”2. Until it is finished and Satan runs out of my circumstances, I trust that the God of peace will SOON crush Satan under my feet!” A. “The thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but I am come that you may have life and have it more abundantly.” B. We are in a war, but whose side are you on? Choose this day who you will serve.
