Luke 10:19 “Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.”
Though Jesus’ reference to serpents and scorpions may have had some literal fulfillment with the animals by this name, the significance here is spiritual. Serpents especially remind us of the devil, and the allusion to scorpions is also an allusion to spiritual powers of darkness.
Christ has given His disciples, both then and now, complete authority in the spiritual realm. In other words, the devil does not have the power to spiritually posses, oppress, or otherwise hurt, a child of God who is relying on the Lord Jesus. Believers can rest in the authority of Christ, knowing He has power over the enemy.
Heavenly Father, thank You for victory in Jesus Christ! We know that we can rely upon Him in all things. He is greater than this world and all of its evil. You are worthy of all the praise and thanks! In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
