Resist devils now! – 433

Last week I asked that you ask Jesus for revelation of WHO you are – as an heir of God you are His SON. Of WHERE you are – as an heir of God you are in Jesus’ Kingdom. Of how EQUIPPED you are – as an heir, to go and proclaim the Good News, to heal the sick, and to deliver the demonized from their demons!

Equipped? Yes! Consider the last verses of Mark chapter 16. They are for all His followers. Jesus told His disciples to GO and preach the gospel EVERYWHERE to EVERYONE, adding, “These SIGNS will accompany those who have believed: IN MY NAME (that’s important) they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues (spiritual gifts); they will pick up serpents (protection from demons), and if they drink any deadly poison (evil plans of satan), it will not harm them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover (healing powers thru Jesus).”

Sure sounds like something one might expect from a New Creation Heir of God! Don’t say, “Hank those last verses are not in the earliest manuscripts” — they are in your bible today — don’t ignore them! The Holy Spirit doesn’t ignore them – so neither should we!

Don’t say, “Hank, what about that casting out of demons. I thought demons were just some superstitious thing of the time and are not real; nobody believes in demons today, do they?” — Wow, if that’s how you think then the devil had succeeded in placing a 5th column into your life, your family, loved ones — sheeeeez! He is undermining your life and your loved ones — sabotaging, spreading disinformation, inflicting sickness, pains and fears and all the while has got you thinking he doesn’t even exist! Oh, and he is likely whispering that it’s all your fault, too.

Have you got aches and pains, sickness that doesn’t respond to meds? Mental issues? Emotional issues? Stuff where doctors can only prescribe drugs that knock you for a loop? Hey – have you thought to RESIST THE DEVIL?

Yes, RESIST THE DEVIL! I’m assuming you are submitting to GOD and want His will in your life. Then take the next step: RESIST THE DEVIL! 1 Peter 5:9. Best way to resist is to use the name of Jesus and command the devil with his woes out of your life! Resist those waves of fear, of doubt, of uncertainty. How? By declaring you are God’s son, living in God’s kingdom, and that the things that happen to others in this world do not have to happen to you. Minister healing and deliverance in all areas in Jesus’ name.

God IS our deliverer. God IS our strength. Our mighty fortress. Jesus IS our healer. He IS our restorer. So stand firm my friend, IN Christ Jesus. RESIST the enemy. He WILL flee. Do it. It’s time we live as More Than Conquerors. It’s time — to COME ALIVE!
