”and having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.“
Colossians 2:15 KJV
Then Jesus made a public spectacle of all the powers and principalities of darkness, stripping away from them every weapon and all their spiritual authority and power to accuse us. And by the power of the Cross, Jesus led them around as prisoners in a procession of triumph. He was not their prisoner; they were His! Having put off His body, He stripped principalities and powers, governments and authorities, and shamed them openly. Between the day of crucifixion and the day of resurrection, while in the spirit realm, Jesus destroyed death, the powers of darkness, and every work of the enemy, through the Blood of His Cross. All the enemy’s weapons have been stripped away from him and now the Church, the Body of Christ, has authority in Christ to enforce this triumph upon the dethroned rulers of this world. He now sends out His Body, the apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers, believers - us. We enforce His triumph to all the thrones and authorities, putting them to public shame by the manifestation of Himself in us. Amen!
