Translated into His Kingdom
“Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.”
Colossians 1:13 (KJV)
Main Text: Main Text: Ephesians 2:4-6
When Jesus died and rose again, He didn’t just save you from sin—He rescued you from the dominion of darkness and transferred you into His glorious Kingdom of light. The "darkness" you were rescued from includes sin, death, sickness, disease, poverty, lack, depression, fear, and all oppression of the enemy. These are completely opposed to the Kingdom of God’s dear Son, where life, light, health, abundance, and righteousness reign.
Sadly, many believers still live as though they are in bondage, unaware of their current spiritual status and position in Christ. But the truth is, you have been raised up and seated with Christ in the heavenly realms, far above all principalities and powers (Ephesians 1:21; 2:6). God said in Hosea 4:6, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” When you don’t know your rights, the enemy can rob you of them.
Let this be a wake-up call: You are not under Satan’s dominion. He is a defeated foe. Your deliverance wasn’t the result of intense prayer or someone laying hands on you—it was accomplished over 2000 years ago on the cross! Redemption came with a divine exchange—Jesus took your place in death so you could reign in life.
No born-again believer needs deliverance from Satan because deliverance has already happened. What you need is revelation. When you awaken to who you are in Christ and where you now dwell—in the Kingdom of light—Satan loses his grip over your life. You’re not just saved; you’re seated, secured, and reigning with Christ.
Confession:
Thank You, Father, for translating me from the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of Your beloved Son, Jesus Christ. I live in Your presence and walk in the dominion of Christ over all darkness, evil powers, and demonic forces. I enjoy the victorious, prosperous, and ever-glorious life that I have received in Christ. In Jesus’ Name, Amen!
