Jesus said to the 70 who had just returned from their first missionary journey in Luke 10. Jesus gave authority to them to cast out demons, heal the sick and proclaim the "Kingdom of God" is at hand. These 70 returned amazed that even the demons were subject to them in Jesus name. Jesus answered with some very outstanding comments. "Have I not given you authority on earth to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy. And who is he that will harm you if you be a doer of that which is good." Luke 10:19 And then one of the most amazing statements in the bible. "I was watching Satan fall from heaven like lightning." Luke 10:18 As the 70 were going to every city and place where Jesus was going to come in His earthly ministry, He was watching Satan's power being broken over cities and places. They were literally preparing the "way of the Lord". These disciples were operating off of transmitted authority that Jesus had given them. Today we operate with the completed blood of Christ on the cross that totally disarmed Satan and demons. But we have to execute the judgment on demons by our commands and commitment to walk under Jesus authority. Do you understand at all the enormous power and authority Jesus Christ has given you and me in His name? Paul reminds us that Jesus has already placed all principalities, powers and rulers of darkness under Jesus feet. And He gave this authority to us.. His body, His bride, His called ones.
