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 RESOLUTE

  For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. John 6:38 If you need to, you may; examine yourself and see, can the above statement be true of you or about you? Because in life you will face obstacles and challenges that will press and push you to extreme limit or out of measure to a breaking point [in despair of life, according to Apostle Paul]. These things happens in other to make you change course; but stand thou resolute.  Jesus said, persecutions will arise for the Word sake.  In Matthew 26:39, Jesus was praying "... O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt." While on the cross, Jesus cried out, "... My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"  Well..., the Father didn't go anywhere, but the heat of the situation(s) make it look that way.  Enroute the promise land, there are a lot of obstacles; there is nothing easy about it. Sure the Devil makes it d...

Extremely Blessed!

A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth. – Proverbs 17:8 If I could give you a gift this Christmas, the Word is what I'd give you. I'd rather give it to you than a check for a million dollars. Because you can run through a million dollars real quick, but the truth of God's Word never quits—and it will get you out of situations a million dollars can't get you out of. Ken and I are just ordinary people. But when we latched on to God's Word, we latched on to something out of the ordinary, something that changed our lives. Every area of our lives. Nothing that's happened to us has happened because of us. It's happened because of God's Word. In fact, I don't even have to know you to promise you this: If you'll give God's Word your full attention—and not be afraid of His will for your life—you're going to be happier and more prosperous than anything you could ever dream up. O...
