TOPIC: SPIRITUAL EYES II MEMORISE :  Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.  Psalm 119:18 READ :  2 Kings 6:15-23  15 And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do? 16 And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. 17 And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha. 18 And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto the LORD, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha. 19 And Elisha said unto them, This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will bring you to the man...

FINGER OF DELIVERANCE Tuesday, October 9, 2012

MEMORIZE: But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you. Luke 11:20

READ: Luke 11:14-20

In the course of this month, we have studied that the finger of God can be an early warning sign or a sign that God’s judgment is imminent and inevitable. This is not exhaustive of what the finger of God is or can do. The finger of God is also a medium for casting out devils. When the Pharisees accused Jesus of casting out devils through Beelzebub the chief of devils, He replied:

But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the Kingdom of God is come upon you. Luke 11:20

It is not the shouting of commands or acrobatics that expel demons but the finger of God. When in Mark 16:17 the Lord said you shall cast out devils in His name, He means that you should get ready to work with the invisible finger of God. Demons and satanic agents see what we don’t see. When you are in right standing with God and you are casting out demons in the name of Jesus Christ, they will see the finger that created them coming towards them. On several occasions, they screamed in fright and begged Jesus not to torment them. No demon can withstand the finger of God. You too through faith in Jesus Christ can use the finger of God to cast out devils. Never think you are the one demons are afraid of; it is not you but the finger of God.

That is on the positive side. On the negative side, when a fake prophet or pastor using evil powers is praying for people, demons are released even when many may not see them. Such agents of darkness clothed as ministers of light create the atmosphere for demons to operate. The Lord exposed one of them sometime ago. This popular miracle preacher was trying to pray for a young lady over an ailment. Then suddenly, the Lord opened her eyes and she saw that as he stretched out his hand to lay it on her, demons were being released towards her. She saw this so she began to resist and did not want any more prayer from this evil agent. But when the so-called man of God realized she had seen his secret, he forcefully laid hands on her. Then suddenly, the girl that was using all her strength to fight and resist the demons suddenly became subdued and began to behave like an insane fellow. Later, God showed this fake miracle agent to another prophet of God; he saw him riding a black horse. Then he knew he was connected to an evil source.

 KEY POINT:
God’s finger expels demons but the hands of fake prophets release demons.

 Bible In A Year: 1 Chronicles 27-29

TOPIC: THE SNARE OF THE FOWLER 4 MEMORISE:  All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. 1 Corinthians 6:12 READ: Bible Reading Romans 6:1-23 1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? 3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: 6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 7 For he that is dead is freed from sin. 8 Now if we be dead w...

TOPIC: STAND FIRM MEMORISE:  That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive: Ephesians 4:14 READ: Daniel 1:8-16  8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself. 9 Now God had brought Daniel into favour and tender love with the prince of the eunuchs. 10 And the prince of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed your meat and your drink: for why should he see your faces worse liking than the children which are of your sort? then shall ye make me endanger my head to the king. 11 Then said Daniel to Melzar, whom the prince of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, 12 Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten d...

TOPIC: COMMITTING GOD MEMORISE : I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. Psalm 138:2 READ: ISAIAH 40:4-8 4. Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: 5. And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. 6. The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field: 7. The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass. 8. The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever. MESSAGE : Do you know that it is possible to commit God to do some things for you and leave Him with no choice but to do them? Psalm 115:3 says that God is sove...
