Satan is trying to get back into my life. I reject him in Gods name, I reject him with all the love and forgivness that God has given me. I reject him again and again until he gets the message that there is no place for him in my life. I embrace and love our lord with every part of my mind, body and spirit and tell the devil that he will never again lead me down the wrong path. I love God with every part of me and tell the devil to go away and don't come back. Please pray with me my new sisters and brothers in God. The evil deceiver will never again control my life.
Have you ever read the Bondage Breaker by Neil Anderson. It would really
do you good to read it. Here is an extract from it:
There is no need for the Christian to defeat the devil. Christ has already
accomplished that. We just need to believe it. When we read through
the epistles, it is obvious that Jesus has already delivered us from
Satan and sin. That was the good news Paul conveyed in his prayer.
God has done all He needs to do for us to live a victorious life in
Christ—now we have to assume our responsibility. It is your individual
responsibility as a believer to repent and believe the truth that will set
you free. Nobody else can do that for you. I can’t put on the armor of God
for you, believe for you, repent for you, forgive others for you, and take
every thought captive to the obedience of Christ for you, but I can help you.
Finding your own freedom in Christ and helping others do the same is the
focus of Part Three of this book.
Strongholds of Self-Defense In our natural state, we learned many ways to
cope with life or defend ourselves which were not always mentally and emotionally healthy.
Psychologists refer to these unhealthy patterns of living as defense
mechanisms, and they are certainly not congruent with Christianity.
For instance, many people have learned to lie in order to protect themselves.
Other common defense mechanisms include:
denial (conscious or subconscious refusal to face the truth)
fantasy (escaping from the real world)
emotional insulation (withdrawing to avoid rejection)
regression (reverting to less threatening times)
displacement (taking out frustrations on others)
projection (blaming others)
rationalisation (making excuses for poor behavior)
Defence mechanisms are similar to what Paul calls strongholds.
He writes, “Though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according
to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh,
but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses.
We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up
against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought
captive to the obedience of Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:3-5).
Fortresses (or “strongholds” in the King James Version) are fleshly
thought patterns that were programmed into your mind when
you learned to live your life independently of God.
Your worldview was shaped by the environment you were raised in.
But when you became a Christian, nobody pressed the “CLEAR” button.
Your old fleshly habit patterns of thought weren’t erased.
What was learned has to be unlearned. If you have been trained wrong,
can you be retrained? If you believed a lie, can you renounce that lie
and choose to believe the truth?
Can your mind be reprogrammed? That is what repentance is: a change
of mind. We are transformed by the renewing of our minds.
We can be transformed because we have the mind of Christ within
us and because the Holy Spirit will lead us into all truth.
But the world system we were raised in and our independent flesh
patterns are not the only enemies of our sanctification. Even though
we are new creations in Christ, we still battle the world, the flesh, and the devil. Satan’s
Ps we should never argue or pray to Satan. It’s Jesus and the truth which
who sets us free not Satan.
Lord I pray for Sean that you will teach him to be an overcome and show him
his true position in you. Lord teach him victory in you, teach him to trust you,
teach him to pray. Teach him about your love. amen
