We have Authority over satan!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

As the Church!

In the name of Jesus we are dare to proclaim:

We have Authority over satan and all his works!

(Luke 10:1) After these things the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent them two by two before His face into every city and place where He Himself was about to come.

(Luke 10:2) And He said to them, The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.

(Luke 10:3) Go your way; behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves.

(Luke 10:4) Carry neither money bag, knapsack, nor sandals; and greet no one along the road.

(Luke 10:5) And whatever house you enter, first say, Peace to this house.

(Luke 10:6) And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on it; if not, it will return to you.

(Luke 10:7) And remain in the same house, eating and drinking such things as they give, for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not go from house to house.

(Luke 10:8) Whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you.

(Luke 10:9) And heal the sick there, and say to them, The kingdom of God has come near to you.

(Luke 10:10) But whatever city you enter, and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say,

(Luke 10:11) The very dust of your city which clings to us we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has come near to you.

(Luke 10:12) But I say to you that it will be more tolerable in that Day for Sodom than for that city.

(Luke 10:13) Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

(Luke 10:14) But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you.

(Luke 10:15) And you, Capernaum, who are exalted to the heavens, will be thrust down to Hades.

(Luke 10:16) He who hears you hears Me, he who rejects you rejects Me, and he who rejects Me rejects Him who sent Me.

(Luke 10:17) Then the seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.

(Luke 10:18) And He said to them, I saw Satan fall like lightning from Heaven.

(Luke 10:19) Behold, I give you authority to tread over serpents and scorpions, and upon all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

(Luke 10:20) Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in Heaven.

(Luke 10:21) In that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said, I praise You, Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it was pleasing in Your sight.

(Luke 10:22) All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.

1Jn 3:8 He who produces sin is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this, the Son of God was made known, that He might destroy the works of the devil.

(Mark 14:1) After two days it was the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take Him by deceit and put Him to death.

(Mark 14:2) But they said, Not during the Feast, lest there be an uproar of the people.

(Mark 14:3) And being in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, as He sat at the table, a woman came having an alabaster flask of very costly ointment of spikenard. And she broke the flask and poured it on His head.

(Mark 14:4) But there were some who were indignant within themselves, and said, Why was this ointment wasted?

(Mark 14:5) For it might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor. And they murmured against her.

(Mark 14:6) But Jesus said, Let her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work toward Me.

(Mark 14:7) For you have the poor with you always, and whenever you wish you may do them good; but you do not always have Me.

(Mark 14:8) She has done what she was in a position to do. She has come beforehand to anoint My body for burial.

(Mark 14:9) Truly, I say to you, Wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her.

(Mark 14:10) Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests to deliver Him to them.

(Mark 14:11) And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. So he sought how he might conveniently betray Him.

(Mark 14:12) Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they killed the Passover, His disciples said to Him, Where do You want us to go and prepare, that You may eat the Passover?

(Mark 14:13) And He sent out two of His disciples and said to them, Go into the city, and a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him.

(Mark 14:14) And wherever he goes in, say to the master of the house, The Teacher says, Where is the guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?

(Mark 14:15) And he will show you a large upper room, furnished and prepared; make ready for us there.

(Mark 14:16) So His disciples went out, and came into the city, and found it just as He had said to them; and they prepared the Passover.

(Mark 14:17) And in the evening He came with the twelve.

(Mark 14:18) Now as they sat and ate, Jesus said, Truly, I say to you, one of you who eats with Me will betray Me.

(Mark 14:19) And they began to be grieved, and to say to Him one by one, Surely not me? And another said, Surely not me?

(Mark 14:20) And He answered and said to them, It is one of the twelve, who dips with Me in the dish.

(Mark 14:21) The Son of Man truly goes just as it is written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had never been born.

(Mark 14:22) And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them and said, Take, eat; this is My body.

(Mark 14:23) And He took the cup, and when He had given thanks He gave it to them, and they all drank from it.

(Mark 14:24) And He said to them, This is My blood of the New Covenant, which is poured out for many.

(Mark 14:25) Truly, I say to you, I will no more drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.

(Mark 14:26) And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

(Mark 14:27) And Jesus said to them, All of you will be made to stumble because of Me this night, for it is written: I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.

(Mark 14:28) But after I have been raised, I will go before you into Galilee.

(Mark 14:29) Peter said to Him, Even if all are made to stumble, yet not I.

(Mark 14:30) And Jesus said to him, Truly, I say to you that today, even this night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.

(Mark 14:31) But he spoke more vehemently, If I need to die with You, I will not deny You! And they all said likewise.

(Mark 14:32) And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane; and He said to His disciples, Sit here while I pray.

(Mark 14:33) And He took Peter, Jacob, and John with Him, and He began to be in dread and deeply distressed.

(Mark 14:34) And He said to them, My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch.

(Mark 14:35) And He went a little farther, and fell on the ground, and prayed that if it were possible, the hour might pass from Him.

(Mark 14:36) And He said, Abba, Father, all things are possible to You. Take this cup away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will.

(Mark 14:37) And He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, Simon, are you sleeping? Were you not strong enough to watch one hour?

(Mark 14:38) Watch and pray, that you not enter into temptation. The spirit truly is willing, but the flesh is weak.

(Mark 14:39) And again He went away and prayed, and spoke the same words.

(Mark 14:40) And when He returned, He found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy; and they did not know what to answer Him.

(Mark 14:41) And He came the third time and said to them, Sleep on now and take your rest. It is enough. The hour has come; behold, the Son of Man is being delivered into the hands of sinners.

(Mark 14:42) Rise up, let us be going. Behold, the one betraying Me is at hand.

(Mark 14:43) And immediately, while He was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, with a great multitude with swords and clubs, came from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.

(Mark 14:44) And His betrayer had given them a signal, saying, Whomever I kiss, it is He; seize Him and lead Him away safely.

(Mark 14:45) And as soon as He had come, immediately he went up to Him and said to Him, Rabbi, Rabbi! and kissed Him.

(Mark 14:46) And they laid their hands on Him and took Him.

(Mark 14:47) And one of those who stood by drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

(Mark 14:48) And Jesus answered and said to them, Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take Me?

(Mark 14:49) I was with you daily in the temple teaching, and you did not seize Me. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled.

(Mark 14:50) And they all forsook Him and fled.

(Mark 14:51) And a certain young man followed Him, having a linen cloth thrown around his naked body. And the young men laid hold of him,

(Mark 14:52) and he left the linen cloth and fled from them naked.

(Mark 14:53) And they led Jesus away to the high priest; and with him were assembled all the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes.

(Mark 14:54) And Peter followed Him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. And he sat with the servants and warmed himself at the fire.

(Mark 14:55) And the chief priests and all the council sought testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but found none.

(Mark 14:56) For many bore false witness against Him, but their testimonies were not the same.

(Mark 14:57) And some rose up and bore false witness against Him, saying,

(Mark 14:58) We heard Him say, I will destroy this temple made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.

(Mark 14:59) And neither in this was their testimony the same.

(Mark 14:60) And the high priest stood up in the midst and asked Jesus, saying, Do You answer nothing? What is it these men witness against You?

(Mark 14:61) But He kept silent and answered nothing. Again the high priest questioned Him, saying to Him, Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?

(Mark 14:62) Jesus said, I AM. And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming with the clouds of Heaven.

(Mark 14:63) Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, What further need do we have of witnesses?

(Mark 14:64) You have heard the blasphemy! What does it appear to you? And they all condemned Him to be worthy of death.

(Mark 14:65) And some began to spit on Him, and to cover His face, and to beat Him with the fist, and to say to Him, Prophesy! And the officers struck Him with slaps.

(Mark 14:66) Now as Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came.

(Mark 14:67) And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, You also were with Jesus of Nazareth.

(Mark 14:68) But he denied it, saying, I neither know nor understand what you are saying. And he went out on the porch, and a rooster crowed.

(Mark 14:69) And the servant girl saw him again, and began to say to those who stood by, This is one of them.

(Mark 14:70) And he denied it again. And a little later those who stood by said to Peter again, Surely you are one of them; for you are a Galilean, and your speech agrees.

(Mark 14:71) Then he began to curse and swear, I do not know this man of whom you speak!

(Mark 14:72) And a second time the rooster crowed. And Peter remembered the word that Jesus had said to him, Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times. And when he thought on it, he wept.

(Mark 15:1) And immediately, in the morning, the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council; and they bound Jesus, led Him away, and delivered Him to Pilate.

(Mark 15:2) And Pilate asked Him, Are You the King of the Jews? He answered and said to him, It is as you say.

(Mark 15:3) And the chief priests accused Him of many things, but He answered nothing.

(Mark 15:4) Then Pilate asked Him again, saying, Do You answer nothing? Behold how many things they witness against You!

(Mark 15:5) But Jesus still answered nothing, so that Pilate marveled.

(Mark 15:6) Now at the feast he was accustomed to releasing one prisoner to them, whomever they asked.

(Mark 15:7) And there was one named Barabbas, who was in bonds with his fellow rebels; they had committed murder in the insurrection.

(Mark 15:8) And the multitude, crying aloud, began to ask him to do just as he had always done for them.

(Mark 15:9) But Pilate answered them, saying, Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?

(Mark 15:10) For he knew that the chief priests had delivered Him up because of envy.

(Mark 15:11) But the chief priests stirred up the crowd, so that he should rather release Barabbas to them.

(Mark 15:12) So Pilate answered and said to them again, What then do you want me to do with Him whom you call the King of the Jews?

(Mark 15:13) And they cried out again, Crucify Him!

(Mark 15:14) Then Pilate said to them, Why, what evil has He done? But they cried out all the more, Crucify Him!

(Mark 15:15) So Pilate, intending to gratify the crowd, released Barabbas to them; and he delivered Jesus, after he had scourged Him, to be crucified.

(Mark 15:16) And the soldiers led Him away into the hall called Praetorium, and they called together the whole garrison.

(Mark 15:17) And they clothed Him with purple; and they wove a crown of thorns, put it on Him,

(Mark 15:18) and began to salute Him, Hail, King of the Jews!

(Mark 15:19) And they struck Him on the head with a reed and spat on Him; and bending the knee, they bowed to Him.

(Mark 15:20) And when they had mocked Him, they took the purple off Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him out to crucify Him.

(Mark 15:21) And they compelled a certain man, Simon a Cyrenian, the father of Alexander and Rufus, as he was coming out of the country and passing by, to bear His cross.

(Mark 15:22) And they brought Him to the place Golgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull.

(Mark 15:23) And they gave Him wine mixed with myrrh to drink, but He did not take it.

(Mark 15:24) And when they crucified Him, they divided His garments, casting lots for them to determine what every man should take.

(Mark 15:25) And it was the third hour, and they crucified Him.

(Mark 15:26) And the inscription of His accusation was written above: THE KING OF THE JEWS.

(Mark 15:27) And they also crucified two robbers with Him, one on His right and the other on His left.

(Mark 15:28) And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, And He was numbered with the transgressors.

(Mark 15:29) And those who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads and saying, Aha! You who destroy the temple and build it in three days,

(Mark 15:30) save Yourself, and come down from the cross!

(Mark 15:31) Likewise the chief priests also, mocking among themselves with the scribes, said, He saved others, but He is not able to save Himself.

(Mark 15:32) Let the Christ, the King of Israel, descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. Even those who were crucified with Him reviled Him.

(Mark 15:33) And when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.

(Mark 15:34) And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is translated, My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?

(Mark 15:35) And some of those who stood by, when they heard that, said, Behold, He is calling for Elijah.

(Mark 15:36) And someone ran and filled a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave it to Him to drink, saying, Let Him alone; let us see if Elijah will come to take Him down.

(Mark 15:37) And Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and breathed His last.

(Mark 15:38) And the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

(Mark 15:39) And when the centurion, who stood opposite Him, saw that He cried out like this and breathed His last, he said, Truly this Man was the Son of God!

(Mark 15:40) There were also women looking on from afar, among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of Jacob the Less and of Joses, and Salome,

(Mark 15:41) who also followed Him and ministered to Him when He was in Galilee, and many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem.

(Mark 15:42) Now when evening had come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath,

(Mark 15:43) Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent council member, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, coming, boldly went in to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

(Mark 15:44) And Pilate marveled that He had already died; and summoning the centurion, he asked him if He had been dead for awhile.

(Mark 15:45) And when he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

(Mark 15:46) And he bought fine linen, took Him down, and wrapped Him in the linen. And he laid Him in a tomb which had been hewn out of the rock, and rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.

(Mark 15:47) And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses observed where He was laid.

(Mark 16:1) Now when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of Jacob, and Salome bought spices, that they might come and anoint Him.

(Mark 16:2) And very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb at sunrise.

(Mark 16:3) And they said among themselves, Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?

(Mark 16:4) But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away; for it was very large.

(Mark 16:5) And entering the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a white robe sitting on the right side; and they were afraid.

(Mark 16:6) But he said to them, Do not be afraid. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him.

(Mark 16:7) But go, tell His disciples, and Peter, that He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him, as He said to you.

(Mark 16:8) So they went out quickly and fled from the tomb, for they trembled and were astonished. And they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.

(Mark 16:9) Now when He arose early on the first day of the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had cast seven demons.

(Mark 16:10) She went and told those who had been with Him, as they mourned and wept.

(Mark 16:11) And when they heard that He lives and was seen by her, they did not believe.

(Mark 16:12) After that, He appeared in another form to two of them as they walked and went into the country.

(Mark 16:13) And they went and reported it to the rest, but they did not believe them either.

(Mark 16:14) Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had been raised.

(Mark 16:15) And He said to them, Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.

(Mark 16:16) He who believes and is immersed will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.

(Mark 16:17) And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;

(Mark 16:18) they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will be well.

(Mark 16:19) So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was taken up into Heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.

(Mark 16:20) And they went forth and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the Word through the signs following. Amen.
