"Be
strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the
LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee,
nor forsake thee." (Deuteronomy 31:6)
God is always by your
side. He won't ever leave you on your own in your darkest hour. He will
do what he thinks is right to guide you. As a Christian, you have to be
bold. You have to be willing to do whatever it takes in the name of God.
Even if you have to leave your comfort zone and take on challenges
you've never experienced before, you can rely on his support up until
the end. God will never abandon you... Be courageous and never back
down.
God is calling each and everyone of us to follow Him. Now, for each of us that is different….but He is calling us.
He is calling us to pick up our cross daily (Luke 9:23).
He is calling us to care for the orphaned and widowed (James 1:27).
He is calling us to proclaim His Name to all nations (Matthew 28:19).
He is calling us to open our home to the hurting (Hebrews 13:2).
God is calling each of us to be His hands and feet in this world.
Let’s answer His Call!

Jesus Said & these signs shall follow them that believe in my name, They shall cast out devils. Mark 16:17
Having therefore these Promises, Dearly beloved, Let us Cleanse
ourselves from all filthiness of the Flesh and Spirit, Perfecting
holiness in the Fear of GOD. 2 Corinthians 7:1
These Scriptures point out two things. First, the basic requirement for casting out Demons is being a true Believer of Jesus Christ. However, Never for get that you cannot be a Believer without also being an Obeyer.
"If ye love me, Keep my commandments.... He that hath my commandments
and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me; and he that loveth me shall
be loved of my Father, and i will love him, and will manifest myself in
him" Matthew 7:21
THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR OBEDIENCE.
If
you think you believe in and are serving Jesus but are not Obeying his
commands as given in the bible, then you are lying to yourself. Your are
not a believer unless you are also an Obeyer.
Second we are
to "cleanse ourselves" From all Filthiness. I cannot think of a better
Description of demons than "Filth" We are responsible to take up the
Power and authority Given to us through Jesus and cast out Demons out of
our own lives.
(JESUS SAID) Behold i Give to the the power to
tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy,
and nothing shall by any means hurt you. not withstanding in this
rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you: but rather rejoice
because your names are written in Heaven. Luke 10:19-20
JESUS
HAS GIVEN US THE POWER AND AUTHORITY OVER SATAN AND HIS DEMONS, BUT IT
IS UP TO US TO USE THAT POWER AND AUTHORITY TO DEAL WITH THE DEMONS.
Submit yourselves therefore to GOD. Resisit the devil and he will flee from you
James 4:7
Unfortunately, usually only the second half of this verse is quoted. I
cannot emphasize enough the necessity of the first half. If we are not
submitted to the Lord and Obeying his Commands, than We cannot Hope to
have any power OVER DEMONS.
Few people are willing to get involved
in the area of DELIVERANCE, and many that do are misled into all sorts
of ERROR and strange DOCTRINES. Many people are in a situation where
they have no one to help them except the LORD. I want you to understand
that you can take up the power and authority in the name of JESUS CHRIST
and kick the demons out of yourself.
Draw near to GOD and he
will DRAW NEAR TO YOU. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners and purify your
hearts, Ye double minded. JAMES 4:8
EXAMINE YOUR LIVES. WHAT
DOORWAYS YOU HAVE OPENED IN THE PAST ?? HAVE YOU CLOSED THEM ??? HAVE
YOU CLOSED THE SINS DOORWAYS AND COMMANDED THE DEMONS TO LEAVE THAT CAME
INTO YOU THEN ??? IF NOT, YOU HAD BETTER DO SO.

All
believers are in a war - a war with their adversary, the Devil (1 Pet. 5:8), and his evil
spiritual forces which he dispatches and assigns to perpetrate his wickedness throughout
the world. The scripture says that we "wrestle... against principalities, against
powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of
wickedness in the heavenly places" (Eph. 6:12).
We are well aware of the evil characteristics
of Satan, that he "kills, steals, and destroys" (John 10:10). But beyond his
routine harassments, temptations or hit-and-run attacks, the Devil's forces seek territory
to establish long-term strongholds in which they may dominate and hold captive. Satanic
forces search for people, cities, and nations in which they are not resisted and where
they may flourish."Strongholds" could be actual "demon possession," but can merely be a "strong" influence or grip, persistent oppression, obsessions, hindrances or harassment. Believers cannot be demon possessed, but many Christians are the victims of Satan's strongholds.
Getting to the Root of
the Problem
The devil's primary strategy is to disguise
his activities so that it appears that someone or something else is to blame. He wants us
to get our attention on his surrogates, his instruments, his hindrances and
"wrestle" with them, so that our battle will be directed against the
"symptoms" instead of the "real source."We all know that a decongestant will help relieve a stuffy nose, but it will not cure a cold. Likewise, you can fight with the symptoms of the Devil, but you will not end the problems until you deal with the source and bind the "strong man."
Remember when Peter resisted Jesus' decision to return to Jerusalem, knowing that He would be crucified there? Jesus did not rebuke Peter, but turned to Peter and rebuked Satan. "Get behind me Satan" (Matt. 16:23). Peter wasn't demon possessed, and probably didn't intend to be an offense. However, the Devil inspired Peter's statement, and Jesus went after the real source.
Paul said that our battle is not with "flesh and blood" but with spiritual adversaries (Eph. 6:12). How important it is that we understand what the real root of the problem is -- "who" our real enemy is. It is Satan, not flesh and blood, not our brethren, not our family, not our children, not husbands and wives, not employers, nor our government! The Devil is the enemy!
Binding the Strong Man
One time, after Jesus had cast out a devil and
healed a deaf and mute boy, Jesus explained that in order to overturn the works and
activity of the Devil, we must bind him first. "Or else how can one enter a strong
man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will
plunder his house" (Matt. 12:29). In order to neutralize the Devil's works, we must
go and deal directly with the source and bind up the devil so that his hands are tied.
Then we'll be able to take back what he's stolen and bring a halt to his actions.I've preached in many cities that have been strongholds for the Devil. The symptoms of this are many. Often the local churches suffer senseless conflicts or unexplained problems. The congregations experience little growth, and the preaching of the Word is not easily proclaimed or well received by the community. These are the symptoms, but behind the scene Satan is the culprit. In such cases, those spiritual strongholds must be dealt with and bound for the ministry to be effective.
All Believers have Authority over the Devil
You may recall the time when the seventy disciples returned to the Lord rejoicing about the results of their ministry. They remarked, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name" (Luke 10:17). But then Jesus pointed out that the great marvel of this was that the devils were subject to them because their names were "written in heaven." In other words, because they were saved -- because of their relationship with Christ, they had authority over the Devil in the name of Jesus.
Jesus has given all His followers -- all those who know Jesus personally as their Lord and Savior -- the authority to use His name to expel the forces of evil. To all believers, Jesus said, "In My name they will cast out demons..." (Mark 16:17).
How to Break
Strongholds and keep them Broken!
1. AUTHORITY -- Every believer has the right
to use the authority of Jesus' name to bind and take authority over Satan's activities.
"No one can enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds
the strong man, and then he will plunder his house" (Mark 3:27). Issue a spoken
command to the devil that he is bound and he must leave the stronghold! Exercising
authority in the name of Jesus will expel the Devil's influence. "And these signs
will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with
new tongues..." (Mark 16:17).2. INTERCESSION -- Come together with other believers to pray and intercede against strongholds until you get results. There is intensified power in the gathering of more believers. Prayer with fasting intensifies faith, and faith will break strongholds. "Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, "Why could we not cast him out? However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting" (Matthew 17:19,21).
3. DISPLACEMENT -- Establish the presence of God. Where Satan has been commanded to leave, fill it up with God's presence. Where the presence of the Lord is, the Devil isn't! Satan doesn't want to hang around where people are lifting up Jesus in worship, in singing and prayer. The presence of the Lord displaces the Devil. "For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?" (2 Corinthians 6:14).
4. RESISTANCE -- Submit yourselves and draw close to God. The Bible says this is how we resist Satan and he will flee. The Devil runs from submitted, yielded Christians. He runs from your life, and will run away from where you go. "Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you" (James 4:7).
5. OCCUPATION -- Give no place or vacancy to the Devil. With Satan departed, fill the void with God. Let righteousness be the standard rule and behavior. Provide no pocket of rebellion, corruption or immorality in which Satan can find refuge to rebuild his influence or strength. The scripture says to not "give place to the devil" (Eph. 4:27).
6. FORTIFICATION -- Clothe yourself with God's armor. Take upon you daily, the full array of God's spiritual equipment that you may maintain battle-ready status. With the shield of faith, the sword of the Spirit (God's Word) and the other links of armor (Eph. 6:13-17), you will be ready to resist any satanic assault, and will be ready to engage the strongholds in others. "Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil" (Ephesians 6:11).
