THE DEVIL AS THE ENEMY
Luke 10:19 NLT
Look, I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy, and you can walk among snakes and scorpions and crush them. Nothing will injure you.
Jesus gave us power over the enemy, here, it is the devil.
The devil takes different form. Snakes, scorpions and everything that represent the work of evil.
The devil also take a bodily form by corrupting the minds of people.
2 Corinthians 4:4 NLT
Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.
Satan blinded the eyes of many so that they will not see the truth.
The best way to blind is distractions.
Distractions from the enemy are beyond the things we can see or fathom. Know that Lucifer is a master planner.
Revelation 12:17 NLT
And the dragon was angry at the woman and declared war against the rest of her children—all who keep God’s commandments and maintain their testimony for Jesus.
THE ENEMY IS NOT INTERESTED IN MANY THINGS EXCEPT THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD YOU ARE TRYING TO KEEP AND THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS.
• Long life
• Health
• Growth
• Wealth
• Marriage
• Single
• Fame
• Poor
• Big
• Little
• Best
• Worst
Every other thing is a routine that helps us to see the glory, power, blessing, love and faithfulness of God. Because God made all things beautiful.
Luke 10:20 NLT
But don’t rejoice because evil spirits obey you; rejoice because your names are registered in heaven.”
But Jesus warn us not to rejoice because evil spirit obey us (casting out, subjecting and taking over territories).
We need to know Jesus never said because they died. Demons don't die.
We should rejoice because our name is registered in heaven… What can make our name not registered in heaven is the greatest tool of the enemy.
I actually thought when we cast out demons or command them and they obey, I am the righteousness of heaven. THIS ALSO DOES NOT SAVE US.
Galatians 5:19-23 NLT
When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, [20] idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, [21] envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God. THIS ARE THE ENEMIES WE NEED TO WRESTLE AGAINST DAILY. [22] But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, [23] gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things! THIS ARE THE WORK WE SHOULD BECOME.
PRAYER: JESUS CHRIST I BELIEVE IN MY HEART AND I CONFESS WITH MY MOUTH THAT YOU ARE MY SAVIOUR AND KING, COME INTO MY LIFE TODAY, BE MY LORD AND SAVIOUR, IN JESUS NAME I PRAY, AMEN!
