1 John 3:8B, “For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.” Psa. 44:4-5, “Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob. Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.” Psa. 110:1, “The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.” We are seated together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, according to Eph. 2:6.
