I watch alternative on-line news sources that I trust. I do not trust main stream news AT ALL. Yesterday’s show had a clip in the beginning that clearly indicated demonic possession of a woman.

This got me wondering how many Children of God are “strong in the Lord, and in the Power of His Might”; or even how many born-again believers realize the Power of Holy Spirit, and the Authority through Jesus Christ that they have access to AS believers. Yet, the battle we face as Believers IS NOT WITH FLESH AND BLOOD; ie, not with PEOPLE, per say, but with the SPIRITS THAT LEAD people; demonic forces of powers, principalities, wicked spirits, and the spirits of darkness in high places. Ephesians 6:10-20

Folks who are NOT SAVED do not realize there are only TWO spiritual “teams” working in this earth—The Holy Spirit of GOD and His angelic armies, and the devil and his satanic armies. Many believe there is “a middle ground”, but there is not. A spirit of man is either led of God, or led of satan. And this is the Truth the devil attempts to hide from non-believers. Unbelief of Christ Jesus is, in itself, an open door to unknowingly welcome satanic influences over one’s body, soul, spirit.

When we look at the ministry of Jesus Christ on earth, we see a clear difference in His contacts with those actively possessed by demons (he cast the demons OUT; freeing the people from demonic possession) and those whose hearts were filled with “religious righteousness, stubbornness, and self-pride”; attributes of the uncircumcised HEART of stone, the rebellious who THOUGHT they “followed God”, but whose lifestyle CLEARLY indicated they did not. These He REBUKED because of their BLINDNESS and hard (stubborn) hearts to see the truth right in front of them. He even told them, “You are of your father, THE DEVIL, and the WORKS OF HIM you do”. They could not SEE/realize that He was (is) The Only Begotten Son of God, and God Himself, even though He was fulfilling the prophecies of the longed-for Messiah through miracles, signs, wonders. The demons KNOW JESUS, the unsaved, often LED BY DEMONS, do not.

So, back to yesterdays show in which the show host made a statement that perhaps could be misunderstood if one is not knowledgeable in demonology. He said “you can stop a demon by stopping the person it is possessing”, which is both accurate and inaccurate. I will explain:

The ONLY WAY to STOP the POWER of a demon is through Yeshua; JESUS CHRIST.
You can stop a demon-possessed person from shooting you by shooting their flesh FIRST, but the demon is not harmed—it simply finds other flesh—human/animal to infiltrate. MATT 8:28-32; MK 5:1-20
Demonic power is ONLY stopped IN THE NAME OF YESHUA and only through a true born-again HOLY SPIRIT FILLED Believer; and only by The Holy Spirit within them. Those using the Name of Jesus that are not truly His, do not have authority to do so and will get “beat up” by demons.
Acts 16:18; 19:13-17 MATT 10:1,8
Jesus commands us to cast out demons as part of our Kingdom of God Commission here on earth.
Luke 10:19-20, Matt 10:7-8, Mk 16:17

Casting out a demon from unsaved, they must come to Christ and BE FILLED with Holy Spirit, or the demon will go get more and come back with more demonic artillery, making the person WORSE OFF (more demons). When they become saved, Holy Spirit fills those empty spaces where demons dwelt-leaving ‘no room’ for demonic entry. Luke 11:20-26; ie, a Holy Spirit led believer LED OF Holy Spirit, will not allow evil to access to their spirit, soul, flesh—its when one who is saved steps out of the protection of God through willing ungodly choices that one gives the devil authority. Resist the devil, and HE WILL FLEE. The devil knows who he can easily influence, and who is STRONG IN THE LORD AND IN THE POWER of HIS MIGHT.

Demons do NOT need to use flesh to inflict harm. They prefer to work in and through flesh, because everything on earth lives through FLESH. They want to “fit in”; therefore, their desire is to influence flesh, which they sometimes need in order to fulfill their assigned evil task; such as shooting a person, or working through human agendas to fulfill a satanic “political “agenda; ie abortion/infanticide/weather wars, genocide, etc….

But they can and do inflict harm without means of possessing flesh. I was once choked by a demon, in the middle of the night—surviving only by squeaking out the NAME “JESUS”. As Soon as I said HIS NAME, that thing was GONE. I have also been awoken from a sound sleep by HUNDREDS of demons screeching, hissing, cursing, cackling.. all brought INTO my home through the lifestyle choices of my ex-husband, and the places he used to frequent. Perversion spawns demonic activity; it EMPOWERS them. And the demons often follow one home. Four rebukes IN THE NAME OF JESUS was what it took for ALL of them to finally leave, as some were far stronger than others. In a bible study once, the men kept getting sudden charley-horses in their legs, one after another. I stood up and commanded the “tormentor squeezing legs” to GO IN JESUS’ NAME, and NEVER RETURN and it never did. A sudden infliction of pain may not be physiological, but spiritual in origin. Last summer, I went into a store in Frankfort that I had never been in. As I walked down the aisle, I felt something grip my left ankle; squeezing hard. OUCH! This pain was so sudden and intense that I almost fell. I knew right away it was demonic. I shook my ankle, saying “Get OFF OF ME IN JESUS’ NAME!”. It left immediately, probably to go grab another ankle of someone who will rush to the doctor with a baffling set of symptoms that no doctor can diagnose, because its DEMONIC in origin. You cant see a demon on an x-ray!

As I turned the corner in this store, I realized I was in a demon-haunt. (Yes, demons can move into a building, feel comfortable, and decide to dwell there. But one thing they don’t like in their habitat, and for good reason-is A Holy Spirit led Believer who will use the authority of Jesus IN THEM. It’s why that thing attempted to make me leave.) At the top of the stairs leading down to a dark, creepy-looking basement, rested a “demon-welcoming” sign:

“ENTER FOR SPIRITUAL HEALING AND SOUL ENLIGHTENMENT. “ The owner of this establishment is “a christian”, according to her own words. I try not to use the word “christian”, but, rather, Believer or Child of God–the term “christians” was coined over the early Church of Jesus, as mockery over the Christ-followers. In this era, it has stuck. I call myself what Jesus calls me –He calls me, My Child... I am a child of God! And so are you, if Jesus is your Savior and Lord.

Be VERY DISCERNING of new-age occult satanic practices that may “seem” to be good. If YESHUA; JESUS CHRIST, is NOT the Healer, the Deliverer—DON’T GO THERE.

This war started in Eden and it won’t be completely over until YESHUA returns. But He overcame satan, sin, and death through His Cross and Resurrection; giving US His authority TO USE until He returns. we must be fully armored AND FULLY AWARE of the demonic and the True Believer’s Authority over them, and willingly USE OUR AUTHORITY through Jesus and the Power of Holy Spirit IN US to effectively and efficiently do what Jesus commands His Church to DO.—occupy until He returns, and NOT ALLOW demonic forces authority over us, our family and home, our neighborhood, our workplace, our city. OUR government and COUNTRY! Therefore, BE STRONG IN THE LORD AND IN THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT!
Ephesians 6:10-20
