Spiritual Wilderness

DAY 6 OF 7

Demons do not live or abide in dry places; they only go through them. They dwell in wicked places. Demons lives in dead places. As long as you are alive, even if you’re dry, the enemy will feel uncomfortable by your constant praises, praying in the Spirit and confessing God’s Word. He will flee if you submit to God’s Word and stand your ground. 

We don’t run from the devil; he runs from Christ in us. 

Maybe you feel tempted by the devil in your wilderness as Jesus was, but don’t lose hope. The devil will not stay in a dry place. He will go through it. The enemy is seeking a place to rest. So be alert and keep him from finding “rest” by praising God, seeking God and standing on His Word, even when you don’t feel like it. 

You may feel tired, but remember, the enemy gets tired too. Your faith, declarations of Scripture verses, and praise wears out the devil. Continue to press into God’s presence until the enemy gets restless and moves on. Stand firmly on God’s promises and enjoy His warm love in spite of your current situation and feelings. 

If you are in a dry place right now and feel like you’re being attacked, I want to prophesy into your life that if you speak God’s Word and not your own feelings, the enemy will flee. Remember, you may be dry, but you’re not dead. Your dry season is coming to an end.

About this Plan

Spiritual Wilderness

Elijah went through a wilderness as well as the apostle Paul. Even our Lord Jesus was led into a wilderness after being filled with the Holy Spirit. The wilderness experience is a tough time in which we endure spiritual afflictions. Not only can we overcome our wilderness experiences, but we can also shorten them by the way we respond.
