DEALING WITH UNCLEAN
SPIRITS –
Saturday December 3rd 2016
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

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.
