“The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”
John 10:10
Satan is a living reality and he has a powerful army. His mission is to destroy the lives of believers and discredit the influence of Jesus.
Forty five years ago God called me into the office of a prophet and an intercessor.
At the time I had no idea what I was getting into until the intercession interrupted my life. I learned that intercession is filling up the flesh with the afflictions of Jesus for His body, the church.
I have learned through the Holy Spirit about spiritual warfare and how to fight off Satan.
The most important thing to remember is a Christ follower has the power to rebuke Satan with the authority of Jesus. Speak directly to Satan. Tell him he has been defeated by the blood of Christ and must flee from your life or from the person you are standing in the gap for to be set free.
To make this as simple as possible the intercessor is utilized by Jesus to bring down Satan’s strongholds over people in bondage. Jesus also desires to target worldly organizations functioning with evil intentions. The world is filled with darkness. Just look around!
Jesus works through the Holy Spirit dwelling in a believer to shatter strongholds. This is agonizing work without any public acclaim. Intercession is a pure ministry between Jesus and a believer with no ego involved.
Satan’s goal is to destroy Christ followers. He hears all your words and sees all of your decisions. Satan has assigned a team of demons to look for your weaknesses and vulnerabilities.
The demons will entice you to enter into darkness. If you allow the thoughts of Satan to remain in your mind sin will be conceived and eventually worked out in your life.
The safety net is to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ and flee from Satan’s deception.
The Holy Spirit is your protection against Satan. Submit to the authority of the Holy Spirit and no weapon formed against you shall prosper.
The Christ follower needs to realize he is personally involved in an invisible war with Satan and must be equipped with the armor of God.
Stand firm with Jesus by meditating on the truths of His teaching, seek the righteous of Jesus, walk in the pathway of peace, pray for unyielding faith, live in oneness with Jesus anchored to the Holy Spirit and boldly speak the promises of Jesus to rebuke the darts of Satan.
Spiritual warfare is a difficult subject to understand. I have been thrown to the ground and injured by demons. I have been physically paralyzed by them and have suffered temporary mental blackouts.
If you have any questions please contact me and I will respond promptly. I would also like to hear your spiritual insights in dealing with the evils of Satan. He who is in me is greater than he who is in the world!
