Even though Satan lost all his authority on this earth the day Jesus rose from the dead, for the past 2,000 years he’s been running around as a spiritual outlaw–continuing to kill, steal from, and destroy all who will let him. But, he’s not going to be able to do that much longer. There’s coming a day when he’s going to be put out of business completely. There’s coming a day when the evil he’s done here on earth will be put totally underfoot by the power of God.

Most believers know that’s true. They’ve shouted and rejoiced over it–but they haven’t really understood how it’s going to happen. They haven’t realized that they are the foot that’s going to trample down the works of the devil!

Jesus is the Head of the Church. You and I are the feet. We are the ones who are going to take His authority and power and stomp on sin and sickness and every other demonic thing in this earth. We are the ones God is going to use, as Acts 2:35 says, to make Jesus’ enemies His footstool.

That’s what Jesus was telling us when He said, « Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature…lay hands on the sick and…cast out devils » (Mark 16:15-18). He was saying, « Go ye and be My foot. » He was saying, ‘All power and authority has been given unto Me, both in heaven and in earth. Therefore, you take it and use it to put the devil under. »

But instead of obeying Him, we’ve waited around wondering when God was going to do something about this mess here on earth. We’ve sat around wondering why it’s taking so long for Jesus to come back.

We’re the reason it’s taking so long! Jesus is waiting on you and me. He’s waiting on us to step out in His power, put the devil in his place, and win the world. He’s waiting on us to drop our silly doctrinal differences and get busy doing what God said we would do.

The Bible says that one can put a thousand to flight and two can put ten thousand to flight. Every time we get together, we increase our strength astronomically. If we’d just get together and figure out who we are, if we’d realize that we’re the feet of Jesus, we could kick Satan out of earth’s affairs with ease.

Do you want to hasten Jesus’ return? Then quit sitting around staring at the clouds! Start stomping around in the Spirit. Start putting the works of the serpent under your feet and we can wrap this thing up and go home to glory real soon!
