Luke 10:19-21

Living Bible

¹⁹ And I have given you authority over all the power of the Enemy, and to walk among serpents and scorpions and to crush them. Nothing shall injure you! ²⁰ However, the important thing is not that demons obey you, but that your names are registered as citizens of heaven.”

²¹ Then he was filled with the joy of the Holy Spirit and said, “I praise you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for hiding these things from the intellectuals and worldly wise and for revealing them to those who are as trusting as little children.^[a] Yes, thank you, Father, for that is the way you wanted it.
