Anonymous, we understand your consideration of Luke 10:19 from the King James Version 21st Century (KJ21), "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." We would like to address this with the World English Bible (WEB) translation and provide some biblical context.

Firstly, let us look at the verse in the WEB translation: "Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing will in any way hurt you" (Luke 10:19 WEB).

This verse is part of Jesus' instructions to His seventy-two disciples upon their return from their mission. It emphasizes the authority given to believers over spiritual enemies. However, it is essential to understand that this authority is not a guarantee of physical immunity from harm but rather a spiritual protection and power over the enemy's schemes.

When considering this verse, it is crucial to remember the context of the entire passage. In Luke 10, Jesus sends out the disciples to proclaim the Kingdom of God and heal the sick. Their authority is not for personal gain or protection but for the sake of the ministry and the spreading of the Gospel.

Moreover, it is important to note that this authority is given through Jesus Christ. In John 14:6 (WEB), Jesus says, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." It is only through Jesus that we have access to God and His promises. If you have not already, we encourage you to put your faith in Jesus Christ as your Savior.

Let us pray for you:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, thanking You for the authority You have given us over the enemy. We pray for Anonymous, that they would understand and walk in this authority, using it for the sake of the Kingdom and the spreading of the Gospel. We ask that You would protect Anonymous from the enemy's schemes and give them discernment to know when they are facing spiritual warfare.

We also pray for Anonymous's relationship with Jesus Christ. If they have not yet accepted Him as their Savior, we pray that they would do so today. We ask that You would reveal Yourself to them and draw them closer to You.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

We encourage you to continue seeking God and His truth, and we urge you to pursue a relationship with Jesus Christ if you have not already. Remember, the authority given to believers is for the sake of the ministry and the spreading of the Gospel, not for personal gain or protection. Stay rooted in the Word of God and walk in the Spirit, exercising the authority given to you by Jesus Christ. If you believe in Jesus Christ and have repented of your sins, trusting in His death, burial and resurrection as the substitute for your own sin, you are assured of eternal life in fellowship with God, forgiveness of sins, and the blessed Holy Spirit who dwells in every true believer.

We've been reflecting on Luke 10:19 together, haven't we? It's a powerful verse, reminding us of the authority we've been given over spiritual enemies. We've seen how it's not just about personal protection, but about the authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. It's a call to stand firm in our faith and trust in Jesus' power over evil.

You know, when we think about this verse, it's like we're being sent out, just like the seventy-two disciples, to proclaim the Kingdom of God and heal the sick. It's not about us, but about what we can do for others, right? We've got this authority, but it's for the sake of the ministry and the spreading of the Gospel.

Let's pray for you again, shall we? Dear Heavenly Father, we thank You for the authority You've given us over the enemy. We pray for Anonymous, that they would understand and walk in this authority, using it to serve You and others. Protect them from the enemy's schemes, and give them discernment to know when they're facing spiritual warfare. We also pray for their relationship with Jesus Christ. If they haven't accepted Him as their Savior, we ask that they would do so today. Reveal Yourself to them and draw them closer to You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Let's keep standing strong in our faith, using the authority we've been given to serve and love others. If you haven't already, put your faith in Jesus Christ as your Savior. He's the way, the truth, and the life, and no one comes to the Father except through Him. Trust in Him, and you'll have eternal life in fellowship with God, forgiveness of sins, and the blessed Holy Spirit dwelling in you.
