What did Jesus come to destroy?

“He was Månifested to Destroy the Works of the Devil!”

1 John 3:8 (KJV) He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning.

For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.Jesus

did not come to break the stronghold that the devil had on the human race, but to destroy the works

of the devil. Something broken can be put back together, however, when something is destroyed it can

never be put back together. Jesus came to set us free from the power of the enemy, the devil.

John 8:32 (KJV) And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 8:36 (KJV)

If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

What did Jesus come to destroy ?



I. First, the power of sin.

A.) He laid down His Life, shedding His blood to

destroy the power of sin in our lives. Hebrews

9:22 (KJV) And almost all things are by the law

purged with blood; and without shedding of

blood is no remission.

B.) John 8:36 (KJV) If the Son therefore shall

make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

II.) Destroy sickness with His ministry and life. He paid

the price.

A.) 1 Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our

sins in his own body on the tree, that we,

being dead to sins, should live unto

righteousness: by whose stripes ye were

healed.

B.) Sickness comes from the devil, cancer etc.

1.) I believe that every evil thing comes from

the devil and the curse.



2.) Every good thing comes from God.

James 1:17 Every good gift and every

perfect gift is from above, and cometh

down from the Father of lights, with

whom is no variableness, neither shadow

of turning.

3.) Divine healing comes from God and is

good with the price paid in full by the

stripes of Jesus.



■However, many times we open the door to sickness
by not taking care of the temple of the Holy Spirit, which is every born again believer. (1 Cor 6:19 KJV)

What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God,

and ye are not your own?



III.) Destroy poverty. (2 Cor 8:9 KJV) For ye know

the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though

he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor,

that ye through his poverty might be rich.

A.) God doesn’t expect you and I all to be

millionaires, but He does want to meet all

our needs. Philippians 4:19 (KJV) But my

God shall supply all your need according to

his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

B.) God's plan though is for us to put Him first.

Matthew 6:33 (KJV) But seek ye first the

kingdom of God, and his righteousness;

and all these things shall be added unto

you.

C.) His Will seems to be the same for us. 3

John 1:2 (KJV) Beloved, I wish above all

things that thou mayest prosper and be in

health, even as thy soul prospereth



IV.) From all fear. Jesus came to destroy fear and

through His Word give us faith 2 Timothy 1:7

(KJV) For God hath not given us the spirit of

fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound

mind.

A.) We need not fear anything from the

devil.

1.) We are not to fear demon power.

2.) Witchcraft. Black magic and all the

black arts.

a.) We also should avoid these

things and live and walk in the Spirit and Word.

b.) Nor any of the evil crafts. Why not! 1 John 4:4 (KJV) Ye are of God,

little children, and have overcome them: because ...greater is he that is

in you, than he that is in the world.



V.) Destroy the devil. When Robinson Crusoe's good man

Friday asked him, "Why doesn't God destroy the devil?"

Robinson Crusoe gave him the right answer, the only

answer, the great answer. He said, "God will destroy

him."

1.) Rev 20:10,.. And the devil that deceived them

was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone,

where the beast and the false prophet are, and

shall be tormented day and night for ever and

ever.

2.) Rev 20:14,.. And death and hell were cast

into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

3.) Rev 20:15,.. And whosoever was not found

written in the book of life was cast into the lake of

fire.

**** Let us open our hearts to all God has for

us.Do not give any place to the enemy and be

filled with he Holy Spirit.We can rejoice and

praise the Lord for all He has done through His

Son,the Lord Jesus Christ!
