In a world filled with chaos, violence, and spiritual confusion, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by darkness and the sense that evil is gaining ground. Yet, Jesus’ words in John 16:33 remind us that while we will have tribulation in this world, He has already overcome it. The “world” here is not the earth itself, but the system of darkness that stands in opposition to God’s kingdom. As followers of Christ, we are not powerless victims within this system; rather, we have been given authority and power over it through Jesus’ victory. There is much talk today about curses, spiritual attacks, and the influence of darkness. Some even fear that witches or those practicing evil can place curses on believers. But Scripture is clear: an undeserved curse cannot land on a child of God (Proverbs 26:2). No one can curse whom God has blessed. Our justification through Christ means there is no condemnation for us, and God alone has the authority to judge. While the power of darkness is real, it cannot override the blessing and protection God places on His people.
