Every minute, ever hour, every day, and every week that we remain ignorant of the devices of Satan we are open and unguarded to the raw destructive powers of the enemy.
Many in the body of Christ have no idea that they are being set up, and being fettered and bound, without them even being aware of it.
They say, “Do you see any chain on me? Are there any cords restricting my movements, my hands, or my feet. Is there any band surrounding my mind, or my thoughts.
No, I think not. Nothing has changed in me or around me. SEE, I’M AS FREE AS A BIRD.
Child of God, one of the most dangerous lies that the Devil has perpetrated is, ‘IF YOU’RE A CHRISTIAN THE DEVIL CAN’T TOUCH YOU’.
Well, if that’s the case, why are so many Christians full of fear. If the Devil can’t touch you, why do Christians have tumors, or cancers?
Do you know any good Christians who have their marriages break up, or have their retirement fund stolen? Why, at times have Christians committed suicide, or died in automobile accidents?
Satan has caused many of these things, but we explain them all away with our natural powers of reasoning.
Obviously, Satan has gotten too close to us. Peter writes about this in (I Peter 5:8-9) “Be of sober mind, and alert, for your enemy (adversary) like a roaring lion, walks about seeking whom he may devour”.
Notice, Peter isn’t talking to the unsaved, but to the believer. We need to know about Satan, and what he’s up to.
I wrote more about this in a recent article entitled ‘IS DELIVERANCE A DIRTY WORD‘.
Many Churches and church leaders seem to think it is. They say deliverance is messy and it scares many and they don’t want anything to do with it.
But, if you’re bound, (yes you), or your family you need deliverance.
We’ve heard it repeated from one to the other, ‘Keep your mind on Jesus. Don’t think about the Devil because it gives him glory instead of Jesus.
But, how can you not be ignorant about his schemes if you never observe or take note to what the Devil is up to? Have you ever thought about who put that thought in your mind?
Yes, you’re getting it. The Devil himself gives you these thoughts so that you won’t be prepared to take action against his destructive schemes and plans against you, your husband, wife, or children.
You must have a prayer life, or if you haven’t, you must start one right away. Satan cannot prevail over you if you have a sincere, faith filled prayer life.
But, that’s the problem you say, “I CAN’T PRAY“.
Dear brother/sister, find someone who practices deliverance, who’s established in the Word of God, and lives a holy life, and humbly submit yourself to being delivered.
THERE IS HOPE FOR YOU. THERE IS HELP FROM THE VERY THRONE OF GOD. Jesus loves you and will fight for you and with you. God uses His servants to set the captives free. He uses His anointed servants to open the prison doors.
(Isa. 61:1) “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord God has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the meek; He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound.
Jesus is not just an equal to Satan, but, Lord over all. All demons are subject to his power, through His Almighty name.
After Jesus died for us and paid for our sins with His life, and shed blood, it tells us in (Phil 2:9-11) “Wherefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him a name which is above every name that at the name of Jesus ever knee should bow of things in heaven and things in earth, and things under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father”.
What a joy it is for all of us who belong to Christ, to have the privilege of praising the name of Jesus, and calling Him LORD.
But, Satan and all his demons hate God with a passion and would never, ever praise God if it were left up to them alone.
But, against their will, and to their horror, they will find an almighty power come upon them and force their knees to the ground, and make their tongue to give glory to Jesus, and say, “JESUS CHRIST IS LORD” against every rebellious thought that has filled their wicked hearts.
Remember, anything that you are not in control of, has control of you. Sin, opens doors to Satan, and the longer we allow demons to control a part of our lives, it only establishes his hold on that area of our mind, soul, or body.
(Rom. 6:16) “Know ye not, that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are to whom you obey, whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?”
You say, “I’m a Christian, I belong to Christ. Satan doesn’t rule my life. Do you fear, or hate, or lust, or gossip, or lie, or go into rages? Are these things controlling you, or are you in control of them?
If these things are driving you, and controlling you, and you say you love Jesus and belong to Him, then go and get deliverance.
If you really love Jesus, you will want help, and you must not lose any time, but get free as soon as possible. Jesus said, in John 8:36 “If the Son (Jesus) shall make you free, you shall be free indeed”.
You can’t get free with self help alone. It takes the power of the crucified and risen Lord to set men and women free.
If you or I have sin in our lives and aren’t willing to repent and give it up, true freedom will flee from us. I’ve heard it said, “Don’t love anything so much that it takes you captive by it“.
Demon’s have been heard to say through the lips of the demonized, “We follow you and when you sin, we possess you“.
It’s true that demons are liars, but they do tell the truth when Holy Ghost pressure is put on them, and when commanded to tell the truth in the mighty name of Jesus, who is the ‘Way, the ‘TRUTH’, and the Life”.
If you see that you are bound, here’s some things to do right away.
REPENT AND CONFESS YOUR SINS TO GOD, AND (FORSAKE THEM). I John 1:9 “If we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness”.
PLEAD THE BLOOD OF JESUS OVER YOURSELF, OR THE ONE YOU’RE PRAYING FOR.
(Rev. 12:11) “And they (believers) overcame him (Satan & his demons) by the blood of the Lamb, and the word of their testimony, and they loved not their lives unto the death”. You will want to read “IS THE DELIVERANCE MINISTRY NEEDED ANY LONGER?
COMMAND THE DEMON THAT HAS BOUND YOU, TO LOOSE YOU. CAST HIM OUT, AND TELL HIM, “GO WHERE JESUS SENDS YOU”.
If it is gossip, repent of it, and then say, “You demon of gossip out, out, out. Leave me now, in Jesus name, and enter no more forever”.
Do it until it releases you. It may happen the moment you command him to leave, or it may take more than a day or two. BUT NEVER GIVE UP, CLOSE THE DOOR, BY REPENTANCE, AND SUBMIT YOURSELF TOTALLY TO JESUS CHRIST, AND THEN THE RELEASE AND PEACE WILL COME.
GET INTO THE WORD OF GOD, AND GET THE WORD OF GOD INTO YOU.
LIVE IT, BELIEVE IT, AND QUOTE IT TO YOURSELF (BUILDS YOUR FAITH), AND QUOTE IT TO THE DEVIL BY FAITH AND YOU WILL SEE THAT THE DEVIL IS TOTALLY SUBJECT TO THE WORD OF THE LIVING GOD.
The Devil will not only be defeated and ‘spooky things will stop happening’ but you will gain the victory through Jesus Christ your Lord, become strong in Him, and will experience peace of heart and mind, and joy in the Holy Spirit. Life is and definitely will become exciting and worth living once again. Praise God.
