Subject: How can I deal with satan showing hiself |
Bible Note: (part #2) Jesus’ name is the name above every other name... meaning that in a hierarchy structure of authority, He is at the top. Even Satan and his emissaries are under Him. God hasn't yet taken full dominion of the earth (He's patient, drawing men to repentance and salvation... it'll be in His perfect timing). However, those who call upon the Name of the LORD shall be delivered. In JESUS' Name, you can have victory. If the Holy Spirit ever convicts you of sin, you just need to confess it and repent of it (turn from it, back onto God’s path). By repentance, you then have a “legal right” to take back any ground that the enemy has stolen. You can kick him out of your life by applying the blood of Jesus (spiritually) to every situation. Looking at the history of Israel’s exodus from Egypt on the first Passover, God had the Hebrews apply the blood of a lamb to the doorposts so that the angel of death couldn’t come in. Jesus became our Passover Lamb. By applying His blood, we can be protected. Oh, there is power in the blood!!! As your sister in Christ, I recommend that if you have another such experience follow the advice of Scripture... -Call upon the Name of the LORD JESUS! (Those who call upon the Name of the LORD shall be delivered, like that other lady said) -Submit to God, resist the Devil, and he will flee from you!! (like that other person said) Other important things you can do to prevent another such experience or at least to be prepared to deal with them if they come: -Study the Scriptures (pray that God will teach you by His Holy Spirit before you read). This is one of the best ways to get to know your God. Not studying for head knowledge (knowledge puffs up, but love edifies), but studying to get to know Your God and His plan for victory in this life! -Memorize Scripture (at least ideas, then phrases, then verses, etc); the Psalms are great to know in times of hardship! -Worship God (sing to Him, thank Him, praise Him), you can actually do this all day in your heart! -Pray and get to know Him... by faith. -Obey God and repent of your sins as He convicts by His Holy Spirit. -Most importantly, TRUST GOD! He alone is able to keep you ...and He is not only able, but willing! He loves you so very much. He didn’t send His Son to die on a cross for the fun of it… He hates sin and evil, and He loves you! You have come out of darkness and have been grafted into His Kingdom of light. He will guide you into victory if you seek Him. He’s able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we ask or imagine!!! He sustains the universe by His word, and He knows how many hairs are on your head. He knew all your days before there was one. FUTURE: One day death will be swallowed up in victory. The LORD will be King over all the earth, and we will live in the presence of our Lord forever and ever. Thank you, Jesus, for dying for us... for being obedient unto death on that Cross. You alone are worthy to receive all honor, glory, power and praise. Help us to know, honor, trust, and obey you! May your Kingdom come, and your will be done in Shey’s life, just as it is in heaven!
