Stomping On The Serpent

Pastor Mike clarifies that while Christians should avoid occult practices and New Age spirituality, they must also recognize that unrepentant sin, bitterness, and worldliness can equally open doors to demonic oppression. The core message emphasizes that Jesus has already defeated Satan and given His followers authority to "stomp on the serpent" - not merely to defend against darkness, but to actively advance God's kingdom. The sermon challenges believers to move from a defensive posture to an offensive one, recognizing that God's commandments serve as protective hedges, and that focusing on Jesus rather than Satan is the key to spiritual victory. Christians are called to stand firm and fight for what God has entrusted to them - their lives, families, and homes - through the power and authority of Christ.
