Resist the Devil

Often we realize that certain trials in our lives are the work of the enemy, and we cry out to God to rebuke him and alter circumstances for us. However, God’s Word tells us to rebuke the enemy ourselves. In James 4:7 we are told, “Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” The authority over the devil is ours. The responsibility is ours. If we’ll resist the devil, he will flee from us. The Bible doesn’t say, “Get somebody else to resist the devil for you”; it says we are to resist the devil. Too many of us sit idly by, waiting for Jesus to do something when we are the ones who are supposed to resist the devil. Why? Because we have the authority to! (We always want somebody else to do what we’re supposed to do.)
Of course we’re always going to have spiritual babies, and we ought to carry them on our faith, but some of us ought to grow up enough to be able to help look after the babies and not leave it up to the pastor to do everything. Amen

How to Deal With Demons

We’ve got to depend on the Spirit of God to know when demons are present and to know how to deal with them. We’re helpless without both the Spirit and the Word. Don’t just be a Word person without the Spirit, and don’t just be a Spirit person without the Word. Many try to act on the Word of God without the Spirit of God. You’ve got to have both of them. The Spirit and the Word agree.
You can be released from oppression to your body and your mind. You can exercise spiritual authority over others as long as they are in your presence. You can take authority over all unseen forces. If you learn how to exercise spiritual authority like this, it will work in your home as well. Amen

Casting Out Demons

The Bible differentiates between casting out devils and healing the sick. Often people’s physical conditions don’t respond to prayer and the laying on of hands because there is an evil spirit involved.

`And signs shall accompany those believing these things; in my name demons they shall cast out; with new tongues they shall speak; serpents they shall take up; and if any deadly thing they may drink, it shall not hurt them; on the ailing they shall lay hands, and they shall be healed.
Mark 16:17-18

Why People Lose Their Healing

When people are in a place where faith is high—where there’s a mass faith—or where the gifts of the Spirit are in operation, it’s comparatively easy for them to receive healing. This is what happens in big meetings.
However, when these people get back on their own, the devil comes along with lying symptoms. The people don’t have a foundation of faith in them, and the devil puts the same thing back on them. That’s the reason you see people get delivered from evil spirits, sickness—a lot of things—and the next time you see them, they’re right back where they were.
They were all right until they got home, and after two or three weeks, their healing was gone. Why did they lose it? Because they didn’t know their authority. They didn’t know how to hold onto what they had, so they didn’t try to exercise authority themselves; or, if they said anything, they said the wrong thing.
That’s why people need to be taught the Word of God and their rights and privileges as believers. Then they can exercise authority for themselves over the devil, diseases, and circumstances. Amen

Breaking the Devil’s Power

Sometimes believers say they will try something because it has worked for someone else. If they study God’s Word and clothe themselves in its teaching on authority, it will work for them. But if they try to act on God’s Word without really having that Word built up in their spirit, the devil will defeat them soundly.
You’ll only defeat the devil when you’ve got a foundation of God’s Word and you act upon it. The Bible says (speaking of Satan), “Whom resist stedfast in the faith . . .” (1 Peter 5:9). Your level of faith is directly related to the degree of God’s Word dwelling in your heart, that is, that Word which is reality to you and in which you are daily walking. Amen

Religious Spirits

People need to know there are such spirits. They make people act very religious.
There are people who believed in a mixture of some Bible along with eastern religions.
We must remember these beliefs are not scriptural. They’re not according to the New Testament.
Some people who believe this way may say,“Well, that’s the way I want it.”

Free Will Prevails

You’ve got to walk off and leave people when they want it that way. If people want to live in sin, they can. If they want to be free, they can be free. But as long as they don’t want to be free, neither Jesus nor anybody else can set them free. You can’t go around promiscuously exercising authority over the devil in somebody else. You’ve got authority over your own life and with your own family. But you can’t cast the devil out of everyone you meet on the street, even if they do have the devil in them, because they have authority over their own lives.
