The Spirit of the Lord
August 3rd, 2022
Overview
In the past I used to watch scary movies, now I know them to be demonic, but I noticed they always make the demonic, the scary parts as if IT had all power. But that is just not true. What does the bible say?;
Matthew 28:18
“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.”
Here Jesus says ALL power is given unto him, not only in heaven but on the earth. If it was not so then Jesus would not say it.
So the power the enemy tries to show off, even more power does our Jesus have.
So then the power the enemy excerpts remember this:
Enemy is so powerful that
- He can’t bust down doors: the enemy works through open doors only meaning we have to leave the door open for him in order for him to come in. That’s why in the garden of Eden it was the snake of all animals that was punished, why, because the snake allowed, agreed, and left the door open for satan to enter it. No other animal was punished.
Revelation 12:9
“And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.”
Here the snake is called the devil and also satan. Also note what was a snake in Genesis is now a dragon.
None the less we are to be ready, and discern the traps, wiles of the enemy and to sound the alarm to our brothers and sisters (our testimony).
- He uses lies to trick you: True power doesn’t have to lie. The enemy lies all the time and will mix truth with lies to throw you off just like in Genesis. Same strategy after all these years.
Specifications
The enemy loves to copycat our wonderful and loving God. But in a bad way.
God has: drunk in the spirit (supernatural joy)
Enemy has: drunk with alcohol (spirits)
God’s ways don’t have strings negatively attached but the enemy does. You can get drunk with alcohol and not only will you have to deal with the demonic but then there’s the hangover the next day.
You have the Star of David and then the enemy takes that and makes a pentagram. And the list goes on right.
So often I have seen where the enemy attacks, quite often that’s the area you’re blessed in and will move powerfully in. During prayer I saw this woman’s feet. In the spirit I can see she is a dancer worshiper before the Lord and I saw that when she does this, it creates earthquakes in the enemy camp. But, in the natural, her feet would ache and hurt, the enemy was trying to stop her from doing this!
You also notice in movies and in real life people get demon possessed. And the movies make a big deal with special effects and all that, I just pray that someday we can have christian movies with state of the art special effects amen! Special effects for God!
Remember when the enemy does something, if we know what to look for, moving in the opposite spirit can lead us into glory. Like with the lady’s feet.
So now if there’s demon possession, then there would be Holy Spirit possession. This is huge because how many people do you know that are possessed by the Holy Spirit? How many do you know that are demon possessed? A lot right? Just kidding! But this exposes an area we christians haven’t really tapped into and that’s letting the Holy Spirit possess us to a point we do everything He wants us to do and nothing on our own.
Is that possible you might ask? Well it happened more than once in the bible but for now let’s focus on Gideon.
Judges 6:34
“But the Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet; and Abiezer was gathered after him.”
So the spirit of the Lord came upon or in other words possessed Gideon and allowed him to do what he couldn’t do by himself which is to lead and to have courage.
I’m leaning hard into this because I want us as Christians to turn the corner and start doing what the bible says we are to do. If God can use Gideon then he can use you, he can use me, he can even use a child if need be.
If demon possession can be a thing it’s only so because it is copying something else that is possible.
Just like there’s heads then there’s tails. You don’t know what to speak and you’re shy in front of people, let God use you and he will give you words to speak. I just saw this today actually. I came for a conference and my wife didn’t want to go because she’s shy and she certainly didn’t want to stand up and speak but guess what, she did it! And it was pretty good too I might add. The Holy Spirit gave her words to say. Did she practice, of course but you know how that goes you can practice but once you get up there with a room full of people your mind can go blank but no the Holy Spirit jumped in there and gave her words to speak Glory to God!
There’s so much we should be tapping into, not just letting the Holy Spirit have free reign.
Matthew 10:8
“Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.”
This should be normal to us! A way of life. How is it that the early church is walking in more power than today’s church? Lets get it back saints!
I truly love you all,
