Luke 8:30
Jesus asked him what is your
name? Legion because many devils were
entered into him.
The topic of demons have been
fairly mixed within the church. This
passage in Luke lets us know that demonic activity is real, and there is a
reason why it’s called spiritual warfare.
When Jesus was here on earth, He did things for our example. One of them was showing us how to take
authority over demonic activity.
Demons focus are to attempt to distort and destroy,
especially people relationships with God. It is vital that believers recognize
this. As the word of God states, there
is a war between the spirit and the flesh!
2 Corinthians 10:4
For the weapons of our warfare are
not carnal, but mighty through God to pulling down of strong holds.
Demons can be powerful until they
come across a saint that knows their authority in God! What did Jesus do when he was face with
demonic activity. Did he run? NO! He took his authority immediately. What was the weapon, His word!
1 Corinthians 4:20
For the kingdom of God is not in
word, but in power!
The power of His resurrection
give us power through His name. At the
name of Jesus, the weakest demons tremble.
Just at His name! The name that
is above all names! This is also why it
is so vital for saints to get God’s word in their hearts. When it’s time for war, the soldiers are
prepared. That is not the time to being getting your weapons together. Same principle in the spirit. When it’s time to rebuke those demons, that
is not the time to start looking up a scriptures. Mediate on God’s word. It is vital to the spiritual war we are
in. What happen when Jesus spoke His
word, the demons left.
So do we seat back and just
accept sickness on our body or chaos in our homes or attacks on our
finances? Not if you are a child of God
that know your authority in Christ!
During this month of Halloween, I am reminding the saints to be
prayerful and fast. Its war! Demonic activity is at its peak doing this
time of the year. Notice how no one gets
offended with Halloween, but everyone opinions come out for Christmas.
Saints, I encourage you to take
your authority in Christ. We are at war,
no time to sleep!
