Friend, destroying the works of the devil!
1 John 3:8 He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.
Scripture does not soften the language, and neither should we. “The reason the Son of God was made manifest was to undo (destroy, loosen, and dissolve) the works the devil has done.” Yeshua (Jesus) did not come to manage darkness, coexist with it, or negotiate terms -- He came to dismantle it. The cross was not a conversation; it was a verdict. What hell had built over generations was exposed, disarmed, and rendered powerless by the obedience of the Son.
Here is the weight of this truth: what Yeshua destroyed, He did not intend to babysit. He destroyed it so it could be enforced. Authority is not theoretical theology; it is applied victory. The enemy’s works persist only where believers hesitate to stand in what Christ has already finished. Darkness traffics in bluff and intimidation, but it has no legal ground where the Son has been manifested, and His work believed.
Yeshua dismantled the enemy’s operations -- sin’s dominion, fear’s grip, death’s claim -- and then entrusted His body to enforce the outcome. We do not fight to achieve what He accomplished; we stand to apply it. This is why authority flows from identity: when you know who you are in Yeshua, you stop negotiating with what He has already judged.
The devil’s power is not absolute -- it is permission-based. Yeshua stripped the permission; authority ends the pretense. When believers walk in alignment, deception dissolves, chains loosen, and strongholds fall -- not by striving, but by standing.
You are not sent to debate the enemy’s intentions.
You are sent to enforce Heaven’s decision.
Friend, do not tolerate what Yeshua destroyed. Stand in the authority of the finished work and apply the victory of the cross. Where darkness whispers, speak truth. Where fear resists, enforce peace. Where sin once ruled, declare freedom. Authority is not aggression -- it is obedience in action. Walk forward and let the works of the devil unravel wherever you stand, for what Yeshua has dismantled, you are authorized to enforce.
