CONFRONTING THE DEVIL WITH CORRECT UNDERSTANDING (1)

Many years ago, we went for missionary work in a village. There was an occult man there and the Lord had shown me who he was. As we got talking, he was speaking words with demonic meanings, and I replied with words from the scriptures. He said I was casting a spell on him, but I told him that we were just conversing. Then he said he knew I was a witch. I replied that all those witches were under my feet and I’m above their ranks. He said, "Really?!" I said yes and told him what God said to Paul in Acts 26:14 that it would be hard for him to kick against the pricks. The man got up angrily and his wife came out, told me not to fight her husband, and begged me to leave. I told the woman that we were not fighting but simply having a conversation.

What gave me that confidence? It’s because I understood what happened when I gave my life to Christ. I am no more on the list of human beings that enchantments will work against. If you are born again, you are also not on that list. There is no enchantment against you neither is there any divination against you, but if you don't have that understanding, it will open you up to the devil.

I did not confront that man out of empty zeal but out of understanding. You need to be filled with understanding because too many people in the church are full of zeal without understanding.

PRAYER: Lord, I declare that the Spirit that broke the power of death and raised Jesus from the grave is living inside me. No enchantment can work against me in Jesus’ name. Amen!
