Many a sincere Christian has been defeated and has fallen because they had no clue what the Devil was up to.
(2 Cor. 2:11) “Lest Satan should get an advantage over us, for we are not ignorant of His schemes, intentions, and strategies against us.”

However, it shouldn’t surprise you that ‘MOST CHRISTIANS ARE IGNORANT OF HIS SCHEMES, and as a result, have caused many Christians to go down in defeat, and even fall away from the faith. Some are destroyed through sickness, and even death.
Many Christians today, sadly, don’t even believe there is a real devil, or demons.
(James 2:19) “You believe that there is One God; you do well, the Devils also believe and ‘TREMBLE”. Why wouldn’t the Devil and the demons tremble? You could never get the Devil to doubt God.
Why?
Because they lived in heaven maybe for millions and millions of years before their Master sinned. They walked the golden streets. No doubt picked of the delicious fruit, enjoyed all it’s beauties and blessings.
They saw God in His blazing glory and holiness. Perhaps they saw this Great Creator create the galaxies, and fling the stars into space. WHY WOULDN’T THEY BELIEVE? THEY’LL NEVER FORGET THE DAY THEY WERE CAST OUT OF HEAVEN.
OH YES, THEY BELIEVE, AND THEY TREMBLE.
If you believe the Bible, you have to believe there is a devil, who formed a rebellion against God in heaven, and over a long period of time lied to, and turned the hearts of 1/3 of the angels against God.

They were all cast down to the earth. These once pure and loving angels, including, Satan, who was then known as Lucifer, ‘Son of the Morning’ wanted something more, and sinned the greatest sin that ever could be committed, He wanted to overthrow the Throne in Heaven.
He wanted to kick God off His throne, and become God himself. Satan had gone too far and with a mighty lightning bolt like never seen before Satan and the fallen angels were cast down to earth in a split second.
(Luke 10:17-18) ‘And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, “Lord, even the devils are subject unto us in Your name”. And Jesus said, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven”.
READ: SHOULD I SPEAK IN TONGUES?
I firmly believe, Jesus who always, existed as the Living Word with the Father before worlds began, Saw the Father cast Satan and his demons out of heaven like a lightning bolt for their rebellion.
The surprise of them suddenly being cast down from heaven to earth caused such rage that Satan determined that he would get back at God, by getting to His dearly beloved creation of mankind, created in God’s likeness and image.
Someone (mankind) who I think Satan was jealous over, because as beautiful as he was, he was not created in the image of God.
NOW, SATAN IS OUR MORTAL ENEMY, AND WE MUST UNDERSTAND HIS HATRED OF US, AND HIS EVIL PLANS TO DESTROY US.
(I Peter 5:8) “Stay alert, watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.”
WHAT DO WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS DESTROYER?
1..HE WILL ATTEMPT TO PUT FEAR IN YOU. Fear that you can’t live for God, or you can’t make it. Or he’ll make you fear backsliding, and miss heaven. Fear and doubt go together.
When you fear and don’t curb your fears and doubts, it’s impossible to trust God. fear and doubt go together. Fear will kill faith, or faith will kill doubt.
Faith will kill fears by refusing to focus on them, and by focusing ‘ONLY on the Word of God and the great God of the Word.

2..DEMONS WILL ATTEMPT TO KEEP YOU FROM PRAYING. The testimonies of converted agents of Satan have said, “The demons have spoken through the lips of those going through deliverance, “THE DAY THE CHRISTIAN DOESN’T PRAY IS THE DAY WE PENETRATE“.
3..DEMONS HAVE BEEN ASKED, “Can you gain control over Genuine Christians who walk close to God?”
They have said, “No, we cannot. but if we can get them to sin, it opens a door for us to enter“. So, Dear Believer, if you sin, repent as quickly as you can, and stop that sin, and confess it to the Lord, and get back under the protective covering of the shed blood of Jesus Christ.
READ: FIVE THINGS SATAN DOESN’T WANT YOU TO KNOW
If a demon has penetrated your life, command him to leave after you have repented and have gotten back into right relationship with God. He has no choice but to leave.
He may fight leaving, but keep on commanding him to leave in Jesus name (get help from Christians who understand deliverance), and he will leave, he must leave in the mighty name of Jesus.
4..IF YOU ARE MARRIED, DEMONS WILL TRY TO GET YOU INTO A RAGE OVER SOMETHING BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR SPOUSE.
THIS IS A POWERFUL DOOR OPENER. Many spirits of rage have entered people through anger. BE VERY CAREFUL. If this has happened to you, then you must forgive one another as quickly as possible, or the open door will draw other spirits, some worse than what first came.
5…UNFORGIVENESS: This is a common sin that is very destructive and demons love it, because they have a door that’s wide open for them to enter.
This isn’t the time to argue whether a Christian can have a demon or not. If you have opened a door to a demon, you probably have lost control in that particular area. Confess that sin, chose to forgive that person no matter how badly they have hurt or offended you.
Close the door as quickly as possible before these demons invite other worse spirits in to penetrate further areas of your body and personality.
Even without a demon unforgiveness brings in bitterness and revenge and destroys relationships.
But when a demon enters (bringing in his friends) the problem multiplies many times over, because a plan is in place to totally destroy that person.
But it doesn’t stop there, the demons plan is to destroy not only that person, but their plans are to have the other person react to the first person’s hate and is then meant to destroy a whole family.
It then can spread and destroy whole churches who were meant to preach ‘THE GOOD NEWS OF THE GOSPEL, THE LOVE OF JESUS, AND LOVE FOR ONE’S NEIGHBOR.
Churches then become deceived and hypocritical.
How and why?
Because they have given in to sins of unforgiveness, by bearing grudges, and gossiping, WHILE STILL PREACHING THE SAME GOOD NEWS OF THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST.
They still preach on love and forgiveness, but behind your back they are gossiping about you, they hate you, but still teaching that we need to turn the other cheek.
I’m not criticizing the church, but simply showing how this works, and Satan has planned it all, bringing confusion and great destruction.
We all individually need to repent of such things, and the church as a whole needs to repent if they have allowed these sins to take over. GOD HELP US ALL.
(I John 3:8) “For this purpose the Son of God was manifested that He might destroy the works of the Devil”. PRAISE GOD.

Jesus said, if you don’t forgive others, the Father Himself will turn you over to the ‘TORMENTERS‘, (demons) and you’ll never get free from them until you repent.
When you do repent and ask Jesus to forgive you, then, and only then will the demons leave. No amount of commanding in Jesus name will get them out, until you get rid of that sin and back into right relationship with God.
READ: SEATED WITH CHRIST IN HEAVENLY PLACES
(Matthew 18:34-35) “And his Lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors (demons that torment and torture you) until he should pay all that was due unto him…35…So, likewise shall My heavenly Father do also unto you, if you from your hearts forgive not every one, his brother his trespasses”.
So, Dear Reader, Satan will try to drag you down in some weak area of your relationships. BE WATCHFUL. BE CAREFUL. BE PRAYERFUL.
6..DEMONS WILL ENTER IF YOU BRING THE ACCURSED THING INTO YOUR HOME, OR TAKE IT UPON YOUR PERSON.
Any idol, Buddha’s, images of ‘gods & godesses will open the door wide to demon invasion, because it breaks God’s covenant between Him and us, and because idolatry is an abomination to the Lord’.
Charms of any kind draws demons. Get rid of them. Many times such curios, like ‘owls’ and ‘pigs’, the unclean many times bring curses on families. It may be dolls, or jewelry. Many types of jewelry carry curses on them.
See what you have and google what they stand for. You may be shocked. Get rid of any of these things so curses can be broken and blessings spoken over you.
Know this, whatever God has cursed, cannot be blessed. The curse must be broken before you can be blessed.
(Duet. 7:26) “Neither shall you bring an abomination into your house unless you be a cursed thing like it, but you shall utterly detest it, and you shall utterly abhor it for it is a cursed thing”.
7..WATCH OUT FOR SEXUAL SINS: The human drive for sex is strong, and God created men and women to have sexual desire (which is different than sexual lust which is a sin). Pure sexual desire was also put in both sexes to attract them to the opposite sex and the companion that God has chosen for them.
Sex outside of marriage is lustful and sinful and forbidden in God’s Word and would need to be repented of. In the relationship that God has ordained in His holy Word, sex must be reserved for marriage.
(Hebrews 13:4) “Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure; for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral”.
8..THE BLOOD OF JESUS REDEEMS, CLEANSES, DELIVERS, AND PROTECTS US FROM DEMON POWERS.
READ: PUT ON THE GARMENT OF PRAISE
(Rev 12:11) “And they (Believers in Christ) overcame him (Satan and all his demons), by the ‘BLOOD OF THE LAMB’, and the ‘WORD OF THEIR TESTIMONY’, and they ‘LOVED NOT THEIR LIVES UNTO THE DEATH:
Dear Christian, ‘APPLY THE BLOOD OF JESUS OVER YOURSELF, YOUR SPOUSE, AND YOUR CHILDREN.
There’s no limit to the power of the blood of Jesus, but understand that you must get sin out of your life and you need to be living close to Jesus for the blood to legally work for you, and demons know and understand this very well.
8..DEMONS OFTEN ENTER PEOPLE THROUGH DREAMS. They often have confessed through the lips of the one going through deliverance that we entered through dreams.
If you have not repented of your sin, and you command a demon out, they will say, and rightly so, “YOU CAN’T GET ME OUT, BECAUSE I HAVE A LEGAL RIGHT TO STAY.
THAT PERSON’S SIN THAT THEY LOVE AND WON’T GET RID OF GIVES ME THE RIGHT TO STAY, AND IT REMAINS AN OPEN DOOR TO ME.
Child of God before you go to sleep at night apply Jesus blood to your sleep and your dreams. Often demons plan destruction against you in your dreams. AN EX-WITCH SAID, “SATAN TOLD ME THAT WHAT YOU CAN KILL IN THE SPIRIT, YOU CAN KILL IN YOUR REGULAR LIFE.
At some level sleep opens up into the ‘spirit realm’. It could be said, “He went to sleep and awoke in the spirit.

If you dreamed of yourself or spouse or child getting into a car accident and getting injured and killed, don’t take that lightly. You need to break those curses in the name of Jesus and apply the blood over those dreams concerning chaos and destruction.
A satanist was trying to destroy some Christians with witchcraft (it is a great power), but this Satanist would come home each night and in anger and great cursing would say, “I JUST COULDN’T GET THROUGH THE BLOOD OF JESUS‘.
His wife was a Christian, and was in great danger from her husband, and was the one pleading the blood over herself and her child, but he didn’t know who was applying the powerful blood of Jesus.
Child of God, if you’re old enough you’ll know this great song, ‘THERE’S POWER IN THE BLOOD’. Some of it’s lyrics go like this.
‘There is power, power, wonder working power in the blood of the Lamb. There is power, power, wonder working power in the precious blood of the Lamb.
Would you be free from your passion and pride, there’s power in the blood, power in the blood. Come for a cleansing in Calvary’s tide, there’s wonderful power in the blood”.
