Bible Verse of The Day – 8-25-21

Luke 7:21 (NKJV) 21 And that very hour He cured many of infirmities, afflictions, and evil spirits; and to many blind He gave sight.

As I read this scripture today, it hit me that many people, including most Christians, overlook the large number of people that Jesus healed from evil spirits (demons) in His earthly ministry.

We hear quite frequently about people being healed of leprosy or other various ailments, or even being raised from the dead. But how often do people talk about Jesus “healing people from evil spirits”?

Not very often, right?

But as I read this verse above, the Holy Spirit showed me clearly that evil spirits are just as big a problem as physical sickness. But because people aren’t as apt to recognize an evil spirit as they are a medical sickness, they pass right over the topic, or even the person with the evil spirit.

Here’s a question for you. If Jesus spent as much time as He did healing people of evil spirits (casting out demons), wouldn’t it seem like it’s pretty important?

And wouldn’t it make sense that we need to do the same thing?

We are, after all, supposed to do what Jesus showed us to do.

So, let’s make sure we’re looking at more than the physical body. Let’s allow God to show us what we can’t see.

And as Jesus did, let’s start being the mighty warriors we have been called to be, not shrinking back at the thought of doing battle with evil spirits.

But instead, stepping on the neck of the enemy and crushing it beneath our feet.

Mark 16:17 (NKJV) 17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-10-16

Acts 16:16 (NKJV) 16 Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune-telling.

What is divination?

Webster dictionary – It is the art or practice that seeks to foresee or foretell future events or discover hidden knowledge usually by the interpretation of omens or by the aid of supernatural powers.

Paul calls it what it is. This slave girl was possessed!

Fortune telling or listening to those who tell fortunes, and operate under such a spirit, is not just a little thing. It can affect our lives hugely.

Letting someone speak, who operates under such a possessed spirit, opens the door for the enemy. And unless we close it, by doing what Paul did and casting it out, it remains and has a home, and it will keep bugging and annoying us.

Acts 16:17-18 (NKJV) 17 This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, “These men are the servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” 18 And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” And he came out that very hour.

If someone has opened up to this spirit in any way, at any time in their life, they need to close the door that has been given to it. It’s very simple. God’s word says to resist the devil and he will flee.

James 4:7 (NKJV) 7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

This type of spirit is very deceiving, because it can say things that may seem true and accurate. For instance, what she said about Paul in verse 17.

But if we let the Holy Spirit show us, just as He showed Paul, through being annoyed with her and what she was doing, we will see what’s really operating. Paul knew it was not right.

Anything that is NOT of God and tries to come off like it is, is perverted, twisted and deceiving. And we all know that these traits come from the devil.

This spirit likes to deceive and it doesn’t matter who we are. It will show it’s bold and ugly face, even in church meetings, bible studies and other gatherings where we would least expect it. It followed Paul for many days until he did something about it.

Don’t let it have a place or a voice around us, no matter how many things it may try to say that seem right.

Let the Holy Spirit help us to discern the difference.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-10-15

Ephesians 6:12 (NKJV) 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

Nowadays, everything is done by intellect, human knowledge and understanding.

Intellectuals will have a very hard time believing that there is such a thing as the devil, demons or evil spirits. They will try to explain it away with something that makes sense to their heads.

Everything these days seems to have to have a name. Demonic oppression has been replaced by hundreds of different kinds of disorders, which all have names, and which get treated with various kinds of prescription drugs.

Evil deeds are blamed on a person’s childhood, or something traumatic that may have happened to them, instead of admitting that evil has influenced a person’s mind and impaired their judgement.

Nobody wants to admit that evil exists, therefore, nobody ever tries to eliminate evil or deal with things on a spiritual level. And this causes evil to win way too many battles.

It’s time for the church, the children of God, to call evil what it is and stop falling for the nonsense that the world is feeding us. Yes, there are some psychological disorders that are real. But much of what is being passed off as a disorder of some kind is nothing more than demonic spirits wreaking havoc with a person’s mind.

So until the world sees evil for what it is, and treats it as such, evil will continue to prevail in so many areas of people’s lives, and in society in general.

It’s time for us to call it what it is and then treat it properly, with the blood and the name of Jesus. Only the blood of Jesus and the name of Jesus will prevail over evil.

But we can only prevail over evil if we recognize it as evil and call it as such.
