Devotional:- Dealing with unclean spirits
DEALING WITH UNCLEAN
SPIRITS – Saturday December 3rd2016
Memorise: He that believeth
and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Mark
16:16
Read: Matthew 10:1 (KJV)
10:1 And when he had called unto
him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast
them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.
Bible in one year: Exodus 15-16, Psalms 115
MESSAGE
Demons are fallen angels
that were driven out of heaven because of their rebellious acts. The Bible
presents demons as the authentic source of every manner of immorality in this
world. Also, demons are the foot soldiers that the devil uses to steal, kill,
devour and wreck all manner of evil against humanity. I pray that you will not
become an easy prey to the devil and his demons in the Name of Jesus. Open
Heaven Saturday 3 December 2016:- Dealing with unclean spirits
However, demons were
subject to the authority of Jesus Christ during His earthly ministry and
subsequently in the ministry of the Church. Demons and idols bow in the
Presence of our God. If you study how demons related with Jesus Christ and His
disciples in the Bible, you will observe that they recognized God’s Presence in
Jesus Christ and his disciples, and they surrendered without argument. I have
always told my spiritual children that if we have enough of His Presence in us,
demons will flee when they sight us, how much more when we command them to go
out. In Mark 5:1-6, when Jesus stepped on the shores of the
Gadarenes, a very notorious, heavily demon-possessed mad man immediately
reported to Him even before He said a word. It is very easy to cast out demons
when your life is full of God’s glory. When Jesus came to earth, He brought
with Him the glory and dominion of Heaven. Consequently, if demons see that
same glory of God in you, they will have no choice but to submit to the King of
Glory whose Presence you carry. [Open Heavens Devotional 2016]
Until you carry a higher
level of His Presence in your life, you may not realize the activities of
demons in your environment. Believe it or not, they are everywhere, performing
their negative assignments. But as God increases His Presence in your life,
there will be commotions, because demons recognize the Presence of God and they
won’t be at rest. Even in the church, while God’s anointed Word is being taught
in power, demons will not be able to withstand the power. One day, Paul and is
co-labourers in God’s vineyard were on their way to a prayer meeting when the
spirit of divination in a young lady became restless because of God’s Presence.
If only you carry a higher level of His Presence, the demons around you will
manifest from wherever they are hiding. Ask God for more of His Presence upon
you.
Prayer Point
Father, please baptize me
with Your power today in Jesus’ name.
