According to the Word of God, we are not just delivered out of the hand of Satan, but the Bible pointedly states our redemption is threefold.
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
(Gal. 3:13-14)
We are redeemed:
- From the curse of the law.
- To the blessing….
- That we might receive the promise of the Spirit.
The attacks of "the accuser of the brethren" are always in one of these three areas. He strives to rob us of our redemptive rights by attempting to:
- Bring the curse of the broken law upon us (e.g., poverty, sickness, death).
- Keep our inheritance from us.
- Prevent us from living in the fullness of the power of the Holy Spirit within. All this is legally ours.
At the new birth believers are translated out of the kingdom of darkness and into the kingdom of light. We have redemption now through His Blood! (Col. 1:13-14).
We are citizens of Heaven—now! (Phil. 3:20). We may live by the laws of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus which have set us free from the laws of sin and death (Rom. 8:2).
But Satan will not just roll over and let it happen for us. We are commanded to give him no place (Eph. 4:27). He and his accusations are to be overcome with the Blood of the Lamb to which he has no defense.
Grace Roos, who lived a supernatural, overcoming life and even picked out the day she left earth for Heaven without sickness or disease, once wrote:
Satan has no answer to the Blood of Jesus. He has no weapon to withstand its devastating effect upon him. He is absolutely vulnerable to its overcoming power. Knowing this, he hides what is happening to him and seeks to deceive us into settling for less than we wanted.
Legally Satan was defeated at Calvary, so legally we are his victors through Christ who gave us power of attorney in Luke 10:19. However, he is not yet imprisoned and so cunningly works his devilish craft to ever deceive and hide his limitations….
"Say So"
"Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy" (Ps. 107:2). Pleading the Blood with our mouths lines up with this Scripture.
The Bible instructs us to say that we are redeemed. If the enemy tries to put the curse upon you, say that you are redeemed from the curse of the law.
Say, for example, "I am redeemed from the curse of the law. You can't put that (name it) on me. According to Deut. 28:61 all sickness is the curse of the law. But according to Gal. 3:13 I am redeemed from the curse of the law and I say so. I am redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb. I overcome you, Satan, by the Blood of the Lamb and by the word of my testimony."
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so! That is pleading the Blood!
