| Under
the cross is the place of perfect and total victory against sin. If
you choose not to be under that cross, the devil will overpower and
defeat you. And you will continue to be defeated in your life as a
Christian until you go back under that cross. It is the place of safety
and victory. It is there you will experience power over all the power
of the devil.
The
cross of Jesus Christ is our total triumph! That is why Paul also
wrote in Romans 8:35-37: "Who shall separate us from the love
of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine,
or nakedness, or peril, or sword? You can only become a conqueror
when you are under the cross.

The
cross of Jesus is the throne of the universe. It is the pathway
to power, authority, and victory! The only people with genuine power
over the devil are those who choose the cross, allowing it to deliver
them from self.
The enemy of your soul, the devil, will offer you a crossless life.
He offered that to the Lord in Matthew 4.
Now,
you must understand, under the cross is the place where Satan is
ever-defeated. Under the cross is the place where neither he nor
his demons can touch you! It is the place of safety, the place of
victory, and it is there that the promise is fulfilled: "For
sin shall not have dominion over you" (Romans 6:14).
As
you stay under that cross, sin cannot touch you. Remember, the Bible
says, "Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him,
that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should
not serve sin" (Romans 6:6). The person that is dead to self
is free from sin!
