FATHER knows our thoughts and intents thus the angels will only respond to our requests when the intent is righteous. Demons can only observe and hear our words to discover what is in our mindset. They can present situations and watch our response. They are fruit observers. Will we respond according to The Word or will we succumb to temptation or challenge and walk outside FATHER’S Divine Intent?
FATHER has not removed the devil or his demons and it is up to the believer to deal with the wiles of the devil. Failure to do so will make your way difficult and frustrating. Overcomers have to overcome something! If you think your walk will be without challenges after you achieve a certain level of maturity, think again.
Think about what Jesus said to the disciples who returned from ministry in Luke chapter 10:
17 When the seventy missionaries returned to Jesus, they were ecstatic with joy, telling Him, “Lord, even the demons obeyed us when we commanded them in your name!”
18 Jesus replied, “While you were ministering, I watched Satan topple until he fell suddenly from heaven like lightning to the ground. 19 Now you understand that I have imparted to you My Authority to trample over his kingdom. You will trample upon every demon before you and overcome every power Satan possesses. Absolutely nothing will harm you as you walk in this authority. 20 However, your real source of joy isn’t merely that these spirits submit to your authority, but that your names are written in the journals of Heaven and that you belong to God’s Kingdom. This is the True Source of your authority.”
Jesus made it clear that the devil and his demons were not totally removed from the picture. However, when we walk in the authority given to us by Our Heavenly Father, we will trample upon every demon and demote the demon to a lesser authority. As we understand our authority from Heaven, we will walk in great faith and produce good fruit.
Look what Paul dealt with as The Holy Spirit guided him into writing 2/3rds of the New Testament.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Corinthians chapter 11:
23 Are they servants of the Anointed One? I’m beside myself when I speak this way, but I am much more of a servant than they. I have worked much harder for God, taken more beatings, and been dragged to more prisons than they. I’ve been flogged excessively, multiple times, even to the point of death.
24 Five times I’ve received thirty-nine lashes from the Jewish leaders. 25 Three times I experienced being beaten with rods. Once they stoned me. Three times I’ve been shipwrecked; for an entire night and a day I was adrift in the open sea. 26 In my difficult travels I’ve faced many dangerous situations: perilous rivers, robbers, foreigners, and even my own people. I’ve survived deadly peril in the city, in the wilderness, with storms at sea, and with spies posing as believers. 27 I’ve toiled to the point of exhaustion and gone through many sleepless nights. I’ve frequently been deprived of food and water, left hungry and shivering out in the cold, lacking proper clothing.
28 And besides these painful circumstances, I have the daily pressure of my responsibility for all the churches, with a deep concern weighing heavily on my heart for their welfare. 29 I am not aloof, for who is desperate and weak and I do not feel their weakness? Who is led astray into sin and I do not burn with zeal to restore him?
30 If boasting is necessary, I will boast about examples of my weakness. 31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, who is eternally praised, knows that I am speaking the Truth. 32 Once, when I was in Damascus, the governor under King Aretas had his troops searching for me to have me arrested, 33 but I was stuffed in a basket and lowered down through a window and managed to escape.
I have close friends who are dealing with cancer or have dealt with cancer of various types. The world’s answers are simply temporary in nature. Our answer comes from Heaven and He sits at the Right Hand of Father. The Blood of Jesus is sufficient to heal us and deliver us from its effects. As we further mature in Christ we will experience this deliverance. Why? We will embrace the Kingdom Authority over every attempt of the wicked one to take us out before we have completed our destiny. I speak from experience.
It is not FATHER’S Intent for us to die from a disease. Cancer does not have the final say over our lives. It is simply challenging our body’s immune system and can be corrected and removed. It can be done with the assistance of the medical field or done without their assistance. The Holy Spirit will guide each of us concerning our particular path toward overcoming the wicked one. This is why it is critical to be led by The Holy Spirit.
Whatever challenge you are dealing with, the resolution comes from Above. If you are shipwrecked, do not be move by the temporary circumstance. Expect deliverance from Above and It will surely come as your faith pulls It into the physical realm. I have had many challenges in my life and THE LORD has delivered my out of them all. HE is more than willing to do the same for you. Be of good courage!
