Every day the enemies (satan and his demons) are working hard to get a place in our lives.
This is because humanbeings are the only being that have legal right and authority to function on earth.
God gave us (The human) this authority.
God said in Gen 1:26
"....Let them have dominion...."
And who are the “them”?
We the human.
You need to understand that anything God said, authomatically becomes a law.
That is why we always refer to the Bible, because it is a book of God's principles for running the earth successfully.
The enemies (satan and his host) knew all these. And that, there is no how they can function on earth without using the human body.
That is why they work hard every day to get a place in our lives.
Well, you call it demon possession.
Research has shown that a minimum of 3000 demons are sent to attack a believer on a daily basis from the dark kingdom.
That is just to tell you how determined and despirate they are, to have access to your body.
The reason is that, they too want to do functioning on earth and therefore they need a body to do so.
As their last option, they sometimes go for animal's body.
Just like satan did, when he wanted to do business in the Garden of Eden with Eve. He negotiated with the serpent and borrowed his body.
It was the serpent Eve saw communicating with her. She never saw the devil who was inside the serpent. Because devil is a spirit. Therefore, when God asked her, "what is this you have done?" She said
"The serpent beguiled (deceived) me..." (Gen 3:13)
But it was actually not the serpent, the beguiled or deceived her, like she claimed..
The serpent's body was just been used. It was satan inside the serpent that actually deceived Eve. She was not seeing satan, because he is a deceiver, hiding inside the serpent's body .
That was why in Gen 3:14 God curse the serpent, because he allowed satan to use his body.
Christian believers are in for a serious battle.
But glory to God we have been declared winner, even before the battle commence.
Hallelujah!
Glory to God! Jesus has won the
ultimate victory on our behalf. Paul in one of his inspired letters to the Colossian Christian said;
"Having spoiled principalities and powers He made show of them openly, triumphing over them in it" (Col 2: 15)
And declare to us in the book of Romans that;
"Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us" (Romans 8:37)
A conqueror is not, someone going into a battle, but rather he is someone, coming from a victorious battle.
It therefore means that, what you are doing in spiritual battle or warfare, is defending what you aready have (Your inheritance and position as a victor).
Because the thief (devil) does not come except to steal, kill and destroy. (John 10:10)
So we have a duty and resposibility every day to keep the enemies (satan and demons) out of our lives.
And really defend our position and all Christ has given us.
We have already discussed in the previous message, how to exercise your spiritual authority.
Don't be slack, loose or too relax.
Be vigilant, watchful, alert and be prayerful!
Therefore!
Resist the devil and he will flee from thee.
(James 4:7)
TO GOD BE THE GLORY FOR GIVING US THE ULTIMATE VICTORY.
