Resist The Devil


When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
~ Matthew 12:43.

At a very tender age, person's may house some form of unclean/evil spirit; through deliberate association or ignorantly initiated or by manipulation. These spirits can be discerned by their pattern of operations in the life of the individual(s) they occupy.
These spirit entered into person's, in their moment of vulnerability, they(the spirits) go about seeking a body to operate through. When a person say or do things under pressure by some kind of unseen force, that is usually the moment of entrance, when the individual succumb to their pressure.
At new birth however, the unclean spirit(s) are driven or cast out. However, the individual must keep them out by constantly feeding on the Word of God (Holy Bible) and through prayers, Jude 1:20.

Romans 12:1-2 says, 
"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." You are expected to present your body to God, if you don't want to be overwhelmed by demons. Through constant study of the word {Joshua 1:8, Romans 12:2} and prayers {Jude 1:20}, we keep the light active within us, so that darkness have no place.

There is no neutral ground, you are either lighted or darkness ridden. The absence of one, automatically makes room for the other.

"... we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us," Hebrew 12:1. 
There are spirit monitoring our activities, either they are done in the secret or openly.
They must be resisted by faith in the name of Jesus Christ. James 4:7 also says,
"Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." we have to fill our heart with Godly thoughts, positive conversations and the likes; our actions, are products of our thoughts.

When we are overtaken by Godly thought, then the Spirit of God abide within us. This is good!

Jesus is Lord!

SETTLED SOUL

  Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2 The state of one's mind [ soul ] determines his/her place in destiny. In life people are forced to bow to pair pressure or any other kind of pressure when they don't have a stable mind, or let's say the person have identity issue.  When Satan tempted Christ Jesus on His way from the wilderness after forty days prayer and fasting, what was the first question he asked Him? "if thou be the Son of God" if Jesus had had identity issue, he would have fallen for temptation in the view to show off, as a result lost His place and purpose. Knowing fully well that God had said, "... Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased." Lk. 3:22. Before embarking on the wilderness expenditure.  When you know who you are in the Word of God and are established in it; you wouldn't bow to the pressure of the world, because you see things differently....

BE WISE.

  Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. Ephesians 5:17 God, at different times and in so many ways have tried and still trying to let us know what His will for us is (He never gives up on us) . Same way the devil is endeavouring to distract us from God's purpose for our life through various medium. There is a saying, when purpose of a thing is not known, the abuse of the thing is certain. Using a toddler for an example. He/she have no clue what a remote control to a television is, if they found one. They can drop it a bowl of water if available, and still feels happy about it; simply because they have no idea what it is meant for. But as they grow up their perspective change. Same way, God want us to grow to understand our purpose and His plans for our lives. Unfortunately, Satan have ways of distracting people from the medium made available by God for man to identify or discover his purpose on earth. In other to keep people (grown-ups) in per...

PROSPER

 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2. The mind consist of one's will, intellect and emotions; which is the soul of man. At salvation the spirit of man; which is also referred to as the heart gets quickened or made alive (But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible,... ) 1 Peter 3:4  The heart is saved, the soul is not. You [we] have a duty to save our soul; and it has to be done through studying the word and meditating upon the word, that's when the transformation of mind/soul begins. Romans 12:2  "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your MIND, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." As you spend more time in the Word of God; like a mirror you beginning to see your true identity from it. This is the reason we are admonished to study the Word of God. Satan knows this, so he tries...
