TOPIC: THE LORD IS MY PEACE MEMORISE :  And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7 READ : Acts 27:7-44 7 And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone; 8 And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea. 9 Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them, 10 And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives. 11 Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul. 12 And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might at...

ARRESTING DEMONIC PRESENCE Thursday, October 11, 2012


MEMORIZE: And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them. Mark 6:13

READ: Acts 16:16-18

Demons and idols bow in the presence of our God. If you study how demons related with Jesus Christ and His disciples in the Bible, you will observe that they recognized God’s presence in Jesus Christ and His disciples and they surrendered without much argument. I have always told my children that if we have enough of His presence in us, demons will flee when they sight us, how much more when we command them to go. In Mark 5:1-6, when Jesus stepped on the shores of the Gergesenes, a very notorious, heavily demon-possessed mad man immediately reported to Him even before He said a word. It is very easy to cast out demons when your life is full of God’s glory. The devil and his demons once stood in God’s presence in Heaven but because of their rebellion, they lost that chance. When Jesus came to earth, it was to bring the dominion of Heaven to earth. Consequently, if demons see that same glory of God on believers, they will have no choice but to submit to the King of Glory whose presence they are carrying.

Until you carry a higher level of His presence in your life, you may not realize the activities of demons in your environment. Believe it or not, they are everywhere performing their negative assignments. But as God increases His presence in your life, there will be commotions because demons recognize the presence of God and they won’t be at rest. Even in church, while God’s anointed Word is being taught in power, demons will not be able to withstand the power in the Word. This happened when Jesus was teaching in the synagogue in Mark 1:21-26. One day, Paul and his co-labourers in God’s vineyard were on their way to a prayer meeting when the spirit of divination in a young lady became restless because of God’s presence on them. If only you carry a higher level of His presence, the demons around you will manifest from wherever they are hiding. Ask God for more of His presence upon you.

KEY POINT:
If demons operate freely where you are, it indicates that you have grossly limited the growth of the One inside you.
Bible In A Year: Revelation 10-12
