Luke 10:19 says: Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
I read a few comments here on Yahoo Answers, by people who say since Christians can be physically hurt, this scripture is false. This is taking scripture out of context, something Satan uses OFTEN to trip up and confuse Believers and Non-Believers.
Of course we feel pain and can be hurt. However, if you read the verses directly before Luke 10:19 it clearly reveals Jesus is referring to spiritual forces of wickedness.
Satan or demons may oppress, tempt, mock, or spiritually attack Believers, but they can not bring harm to a Believer from the spirit realm if they are filled with the Holy Spirit, and function with the authority and power of God. Luke 10:19 is not referring to physical hurt!
Christians how do you describe the power of prayer? Have you personally witnessed demonic oppression stop after prayer?
