[Jacob Mannon]

When I was younger, I was always plagued with demonic nightmares and dreams of snakes. When I got older and learned more about spiritual things and the Bible, I realized that Satan has no power other than that which people allow him to have in their lives. Luke 10:18-20 says “And He said to them, I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Behold, I give you authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven”. Jesus tells us to rejoice that our names are written in heaven. We don’t even need to worry about Satan or his demons because we are children of God. We spend so much time as Christians worrying and giving ground in our minds when all we have to do is take advantage of the authority given to us by Jesus Christ and speak peace over ours and each other’s lives.
