    Satan's Defeat and Your Legal Rights (Part 1)

    "Giving thanks unto the Father, which has made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son. In whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins." (Col. 1:12-14)

    We are partakers of the inheritance of light. This is because we are no longer under the authority of darkness. According to Webster's dictionary an inheritance is something that we come into possession of or receive as a right or divine portion.1 When Adam sinned against God he turned his God given dominion over to the devil (Gen. 1:26). Satan gained legal rights over us. When Jesus died as our substitute He destroyed all of Satan's legal rights and delivered us from his dominion.

    Kenneth Wuest translates verse 13, "....who delivered us out of the tyrannical rule of the darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love." We were under Satan's tyranny but God rescued us and placed us into the kingdom of the Son He loves so much. There is not one iota of selfishness in God. He loved Jesus so very much yet He was willing to give Him to the world to purchase our freedom from Satan's tyrannical rule.

    Paul says that those who are redeemed by the blood of Jesus and delivered from the authority of darkness are translated into a "kingdom"—the kingdom of God's dear Son. Here we have two authorities—two kingdoms that are opposed to each other. Jesus makes it clear that Satan has his own kingdom.

    God has a kingdom and Satan has also set up a kingdom. Satan is a king who oppresses his subjects and keeps them in bondage. The reason why God's Kingdom, when it is proclaimed, becomes good news is that, when one embraces it they are released from the bondage inflicted upon them by Satan's kingdom (Matt. 12:22-29). No wonder Satan makes every attempt to blind men and keep them from receiving this good news (2 Cor. 4:3, 4). It is the good news that is the destruction of his evil works over our lives. Now that truly is "good news."

    Satan's Defeat and Your Legal Rights (Part 2)

    "Giving thanks unto the Father, which has made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son. In whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins." (Col. 1:12-14)

    Kingdoms represent governments and power. We are no longer under the reign of the kingdom of darkness; therefore, we have the right to be free from all of Satan's bondage. As citizens of a different kingdom, we have citizenship rights as well as inheritance rights.

    God's kingdom includes healing for the body, deliverance from demonic oppression and possession, and protection from the attacks of Satan in all areas of our lives (Matt. 4:23; 10:7-8; Luke 9:2; 11:20; 12:32). As a citizen of the United States I possess certain rights and privileges. If this is true concerning USA citizenship then how much more as a citizen of the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ?

    Satan can only do what we give him the right to do. The devil has often kept us in ignorance, attacking us and then blaming God for the attacks. We accepted what Satan has done to us because we believed God was behind it. We either believed that God Himself was bringing negative things upon us or permitting Satan to do it in order to test us. Yet God has redeemed us from Satan's government and taken away his rights to us.
    As long as we remain ignorant of the fact that Satan no longer has any rights over us we will allow him to have his way. Once we begin to see the truth concerning our redemption in Christ then we will refuse to accept as normal every negative thing that comes our way. We will learn to challenge Satan in line with our redemption rights and privileges in Christ (Ps. 107:2; Heb. 6:12).

    Once we leave the darkness and come into the light, we begin to see our inheritance. This has been made possible by the precious blood of Jesus. We have been redeemed from the curse that comes as a part of the kingdom of darkness. The curse included sickness, sin, poverty, and defeat in every area of life (Deut. 28; Gal. 3:13-14).

    Father God did not only rescue us from Satan's evil dictatorship, but He also gave us "rights in Christ" that we are able to exercise when the enemy attempts to attack and overpower us. He "has made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light."
