Matthew 16:23
But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.”thew
Beloved,
If you don’t do spiritual warfare, part of which is deliverance, you will be limited. You might argue that nothing in you is indicative of the fact that a demon is in you. You may not feel anything, yet demons may be operating through you. Peter, walking closely, with Jesus didn’t also think or feel that Satan could possess him. If you are spiritually intelligent, you will pick from your atmosphere what spiritual climate you are currently under.
You don’t need to see your business going down before you begin to do some deliverance for yourself. Don’t wait for the members of your household to start falling sick before taking charge of the climate of your home. Occasionally, do some environmental sanitation in your life. Do some spiritual sweeping to cast out that devil that is operating around you in the name of Jesus.
The problem with many believers is that they love to fix problems, but don’t learn the system of avoiding problems. They would rather pray for healing than take precautionary measures. Your pastor calls for a marriage seminar and you conclude in your mind that it is for people who have problems in their marriages. He calls for a healing seminar and you assume it is for those who are sick.
Most times in our lives, we are undergoing either of two processes: building process or fixing process. Let activities in your life be around building processes, not fixing and repairing process. The only way you would not have to keep fixing things is that from the onset, you are building systematically, taking charge, and taking notice of what is around you, so that the devil can not take over your life.
I commend you to God and to the word of His grace.
I call you BLESSED. I call you NATIONS.
