““Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.””
We have no power of our own to resist the devil but in Christ we are clothed with all what it takes to not only resist him but to bring him down. Therefore, we must first submit to God’s authority and guidance. Remember satan was defeated on the cross therefore, irrespective of our circumstances, we have the victory over the power of the enemy, over sin, etc.
We resist the enemy by the word of God and our testimony. For example: Romans 8:1
“Therefore there is now no condemnation [no guilty verdict, no punishment] for those who are in Christ Jesus [who believe in Him as personal Lord and Savior].”
Believe the word of God, cement it in your heart, and pour it out to the devil’s face each time he comes. Remember he does not give up. We have to keep resisting him.
Ephesians 6:12 “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.”
John 8:44 “You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.”
The devil who is the father of all lies makes every attempt to device us to think our fight is between flesh and blood. He understands what will happen to him when we walk in love and unity. Jesus was quick to rebuke him when he went after Peter (Mathew 16:23).
1 Kings 3:2 “The people were sacrificing at the high places, however, because no house had yet been built for the name of the Lord.”
Sacrificing to demons, wizards, witches etc cannot be going on in our families, church or communities, nations when we say we have raise altars of righteous prayers onto the Lord. We are a generation that calls into to the name of the Lord, we must not tolerate wickedness. We must wage spiritual war against such wickedness acts in the name of Jesus.
1 Peter 5:8-9 “8 Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world.”
Ask God to grant you the grace to be watchful- spiritual alertness. Stand on the word/promises of God and declare that the devil will not see you as he goes around or anything/anyone related to you. Declare that you are covered by the blood of Jesus.
Romans 8:11 “And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you.”
Stand on Romans 8:11 declaring that the same Spirit should arise within you and bring every aspect of your being to life in its aboundance also according to John 10:10.
2 Corinthians 10:4 “For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds.”
Stand on this word to dismantle and pull down every form of strongholds against you, family, work, finances, church, ministry etc
John 10:10 “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.”
Pray that the devil cannot and will not steal, kill or destroy anything concerning you, your family, the ministry, the church of God. Declare life in abundance in and on every aspect and every thing.
Jeremiah 32:35 “They built the high places of Baal in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, to offer up their sons and daughters to Molech, though I did not command them, nor did it enter into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.”
1 Kings 22:43 “He walked in all the way of Asa his father. He did not turn aside from it, doing what was right in the sight of the Lord. Yet the high places were not taken away, and the people still sacrificed and made offerings on the high places.”
Call for the judgment of God upon any high place where children have been offered as sacrifices in our families, communities, churches and nation. They must not exist in Jesus name. God hates the shedding of innocent blood. The only blood that has a right was the Blood of Jesus.
Psalm 55:15 “Let death steal over them; let them go down to Sheol alive; for evil is in their dwelling place and in their heart.”
Declare death over every form of wickedness/altars and their owners.
2 Chronicles 28:25 “In every city of Judah he made high places to make offerings to other gods, provoking to anger the Lord, the God of his fathers.”
Pray that every high place where your name, children, household, ministry or anything connected to you, your picture, hair cloths etc has been offered as a sacrifice to others gods the anger of God judge and destroy them by fire in Jesus name.
Deuteronomy 33:29 “Happy are you, O Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by the Lord, the shield of your help, and the sword of your triumph! Your enemies shall come fawning to you, and you shall tread upon their backs.”
Put your name in the place of Israel and Declare over your life and family.
Deuteronomy 33: 25-28 “25 The bolts of your gates will be iron and bronze, and your strength will equal your days. 26 “There is no one like the God of Jeshurun, who rides across the heavens to help you and on the clouds in his majesty. 27 The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. He will drive out your enemies before you, saying, ‘Destroy them!’
28 So Israel will live in safety; Jacob will dwell secure in a land of grain and new wine, where the heavens drop dew.”
Declare this passage over your life, everything and everyone associated with you.
Thank the Lord for hearing us and for Jesus interceding for us.
Romans 8:34 “Who is there to condemn us? For Christ Jesus, who died, and more than that was raised to life, is at the right hand of God--and He is interceding for us.”
