“The seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!” And he said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you. Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.””Luke 10:17-20 ESV

All,
This stands out because Jesus says, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.” Spiritual warfare is real and if we do not think it is real, we will be confused and off-course all day. Jesus acknowledges the existence of Satan and also gave power over him. Satan is more powerful than us, BUT God is more powerful than him. Please pray that we fight our battles on our knees and not on our own. Please pray for the friend that would be a good CLC co-facilitator and give me his name.
