I Am Getting Out

If somebody is going to school and he is almost late, he would hurry up because he knows that the bell would be rung any moment. He would run with all his energy because he would not want to be late. So he becomes desperate. What the Bible is telling us is that the devil at present, is very desperate and many Christians are not helping matters at all. Such Christians tell us not to bother about the devil. They claim that if you don’t bother about him, he will leave you alone. This is a strange teaching. I told a sister to pray the following prayer point: “I bind every power of the oppressor in my life, in Jesus’ name.” She said, “No. The devil is already under my feet.” I said, “Yes, I know. But if he is under your feet, how come you are born-again, speak in tongues and you are still eating in your dream and masquerades are still running after you, yet you say devil is under your feet?” That means that you could have a weapon and not use it. For example, if you buy a washing machine, you will find an enclosed manual to educate you about its mode of operation. It will not do you any good if you study everything written in the manual and never switch on the machine. Your clothes will remain dirty even though you have a washing machine. Many people are like that. They read the Bible, they know about sanctification, salvation, justification, redemption, baptism of the Holy Spirit, etc. They know what the Bible says about everything but they don’t apply it. So, the Bible is meaningless to them. Therefore, to ignore the devil is like underrating him, and refusing to carry our actions that will overcome him, or what will give you your much needed victory over him. We must not glorify the devil. At the same time, we must not underrate him. So, he must be dealt with.

The fact is that the devil has convinced some people that he must be left alone and that is a clear indication that he has already captured them. The Bible says the devil has come down to the earth in great anger and who is he going to vent his anger on? Christians. Why? He is going to do that on the Christians because they are the only people whom the Lord has given the following promise as found in Luke 10:19: “Behold, I give unto you, power to tread upon serpents and scorpions and upon every power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” God did not give that promise to herbalists or to the children of the devil but to Christians.

In these last days, the devil has therefore bombarded the world with seven powerful spirits which are:

1. The spirit of confusion: There is confusion in all nations of the world including the developed ones. There is confusion too in the hearts of many Christians. Some people do not know where and when the Lord wants to use them. Many believers are lost in churches. Some people that God should have been useful in their churches to perform His wonders are busy doing menial assignments while the people they are supposed to be teaching are their pastors. You may say it is the fault of the devil and his evil spirits. But the devil cannot operate in a life except there is one form of darkness or the other. When the earth was without form and void, the first prayer that God prayed was: “Let there be light. When there is light, it is then you can see that there is disorganization, which you can then re-organize. Confusion occurs where there is darkness.
