SHAKING THE FOUNDATIONS OF HELLThere was enmity between Christ and Satan, for He came to destroy the works of the devil and to deliver those who are under bondage to him. In Gethsemane. our Champion began the last fight of all and won it to the bruising of the serpent’s head. Nor did He end till He had spoiled principalities and powers and made a show of them openly. The conflict our glorious Lord continues in his seed. We preach Christ crucified, and every sermon shakes the gates of hell. We bring sinners to Jesus by the Spirit’s power, and every convert is a stone torn down from the wall of Satan’s mighty fortress. So then we accept His Word. God’s Word is to be understood at its fullest, for He will do exceeding abundantly above what you and I even think. Let us resist the devil always with this belief, that he has received a deadly head wound. Let us do this bravely, and tell him to his teeth that we are not afraid of him. Tell him to remember his bruised head, which he tries to cover with a crown of pride. We know him, and see the fatal wound he bears. His power is gone; he is fighting a lost battle; he is contending against omnipotence. Therefore, brethren, be ye steadfast in resisting the evil one, being strong in faith, giving glory to God.
