I have been reading this book, Divine Revelation of Deliverance, by Mary Baxter. I am about half way through and I love it. Today this world is under so much evil oppression. It’s wonderful to be saved and to receive the free gift of salvation and to be Holy Spirit filled however, there is more for us to do than to become Christ like.
We are all called by God to be fighting to good fight and fight the enemy not just by rebuking Satan but learning his tactics and overpowering them through Christ.
We are called to be warriors!
It’s amazing to me to see so many Christians who do not even educate themselves on spiritual warfare. It’s real folks plain and simple.
Satan is very real he is very active and he will stop at nothing to destroy your lives, your family, your children, and your walk with God. If he can just get in and distort the truth then you give him a foothold.
The bible teaches us to test the spirits. The bible also teaches us to be mindful and to take EVERY THOUGHT captive. If Jesus cast out demons and we walk with the power of God in and through us then we are able through the power of God to cast out demons as well.
About one year ago I had someone open me up to the supernatural works of God. I have to admit I was scared. It was not something I was use to much less did I ever witness.
I knew of Jesus and I was saved however I did not have a personal relationship with him. I remember them showing me things telling me not to be afraid and I reluctantly went along with it. That night I was laying in bed and then all the sudden I was feeling this evil presence near me.
I did not see anything, other then feeling the fear. I felt like something was pulling me out of my body. It was nothing I had ever experienced before.
The feeling of evil was so strong and I was so scared, I was trying to figure out what was happening and why it was happening to me. I could not move for a couple of reasons for one I was so scared and paralyzed two my mind was going a million miles an hour trying in my own strength to figure out what was going on.
Then I saw a half round stone almost like you were in a tunnel or sewer tunnel and the blocks of stone were large. I was still in shock and still trying to figure out but then I called out to Jesus and said: “Jesus help me!” and in that instant it left me.
I had a clear understanding that the Lord was trying to teach me that yes there is good out there but so is there much evil. I have also had several instances of supernatural activity in my life.
This book opened me up to more understanding . As I grow in my knowledge I see more.
Wisdom truly comes from the Lord. We can not see with our natural eyes if we are not truly seeking. As we begin to fully mature in our walk with God and our faith, the Lord will teach us to dress in the full armor of God.
As the book states: The armor of God includes, Truth, Righteousness, Preparation, Faith, Salvation.
Notice the word Preparation, God will not open your eyes in this realm unless he has first prepared you with the teaching of his word. You can read the word of God but you need to understand what you are reading.
This book teaches you the different kinds of tactics Satan uses to bind us up and keep us from reaching our full potential. The bible states that “Whatever you bind on earth is bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth is loosed in heaven. (Matthew 16:19,18:18)
Take dominion over these things and bind them. Command them to fall off their thrones, in the name of Jesus, and by the blood of Jesus Christ. Jesus said that if we believe in him, we can accomplish even greater works on earth than he did! Through the power of the Holy Spirit: Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also.
And greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. (John 14:12). For as God reveals the kingdom of darkness to us, we can truly exercise our power (Jesus power living in and through us) to prevail over every demonic attack!
I will speak more on demonic manifestations that I have encountered personally in my next blog. Thanks be to Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior!
