The Enemy Is Under Your Feet - Jesus has already conquered Satan and his principalities. At Calvary, He destroed the works of Satan, stripped him of his power, and put His foot on his neck. He bruised Satan's head in fulfillment of prophecy. Through this victory God gave us authority over all the power of the enemy and, like the captains in Joshua's army who put their feet on the necks of their enemies, Christ wants us to put our feet on the necks of all our enemies. Jesus said, “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy”

Joshua 10:1-25

These are the words Joshua spoke to the captains of his army following a great victory over the Amorites (Joshua 10:24-25).

During this battle God had supernaturally delivered their enemies into their hands. 

He rained down hailstones upon them and caused the sun to stand still until they were able to defeat their enemies.

Joshua and his army slaughtered the Amorites and those who had survived were running from them in fear.

The five kings of the Amorites were hiding in a cave and Joshua sealed it up and posted guards outside.

Knowing the battle would not be won until they had pursued and totally annihilated their enemies, Joshua told his soldiers:

“But don't stop!

"Pursue your enemies, attack them from the rear and don't let them reach their cities, for the Lord your God has given them into your hand” - (Joshua 10:19, NIV).

After they had totally consumed the army, the soldiers returned to Joshua, and he instructed them to open the cave and bring the five kings to him. 

When they did this, he called all the men of Israel together and said to the captains of the army: 

“Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings.” 

This act was a sign of triumph over the conquered enemy. 

Joshua wanted the Israelites to see that God had caused them to be victorious and made their enemies subject unto them.

There, in the sight of all the men of Israel, the captains came forward and put their feet upon the necks of the five conquered kings.

Joshua said to them: 

“Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the Lord do to all your enemies against whom ye fight” - (Joshua 10:25).

Jesus has already conquered Satan and his principalities. 

At Calvary, He destroyed the works of Satan, stripped him of his power, and put His foot on his neck. 

He bruised Satan's head in fulfillment of prophecy: 

“I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel” - (Genesis 3:15).

Through this victory God gave us authority over all the power of the enemy and, like the captains in Joshua's army who put their feet on the necks of their enemies, Christ wants us to put our feet on the necks of all our enemies. 

Jesus said, “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of theenemy” - (Luke 10:19).

Make this declaration:

I have power to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy.

The promise of victory is available to us who TREAD upon the power of the enemy - at a time like this, with giants in our land, we need this militant attitude which the Lord gave Joshua to walk in His victory and tread over the power of the enemy. The giants of fear, despair, and discouragement can stay under our feet when we stand in the courage of faith. The promise of victory is available to us. To claim it requires faith and obedient action. With obedience comes God’s faithfulness and security

The Battle Is Mine - we don't have to be well-traveled or brilliant or have all the answers to be blessed of God. We don't have to be eloquent or strong or beautiful or physically fit or handsome. He honors our faith. All He asks is that we trust Him, that we stand before Him in integrity and faith, and He'll win the battle. God is just waiting for His moment, waiting for us to trust Him so He can empower us to battle our giants. He magnifies HIS name when we are weak

Taking Off Our Shoes - standing on man-made plans, human strength or fleshly desire will never accomplish deliverance from sin’s bondage or bring the possession of God’s promise for our lives. Our bare-footed, empty-handed, fall-on-your-face-before-the-Lord dependence is the one sure route to ultimate freedom in our personal lives and victory for those we lead. Moses, like Joshua at this moment, was instructed to “take off your shoes.” The Commander’s assignment had to begin with worship
