THE STORY OF JESUS: Luke 11:24-26
“When an impure spirit says ‘I will return to the house I left.'” (Luke 11:24)
When a person breaks free from a negative spirit, they are still at risk.
The Enemy does not just walk away, but comes back stronger.
See how Satan waits for “an opportune time” (Luke 4:13) to beat Jesus.
Getting rid of a sin or refusing a lie is not enough!
We sweep clean our hearts and minds through confession.
We put our lives in order by making concrete changes.
But is our heart and mind occupied by a stronger power?
Getting rid of sin is not enough, we must fill the void with God!
The Spirit of Jesus offers to take the place of impure spirits.
I need the Spirit of Jesus to possess me, in order to protect me.
Satan is not giving up on me, he is looking for a weak point.
If at first he does not succeed, he will try harder, with more lies.
Am I allowing the “Stronger One” (Luke 11:22) into all of my life?
Or am I an easy target for the ‘strong man’ and his friends (Luke 11:21)?
What do you sense the Lord saying to you?
PRAYER
Lord, I often go into my day totally oblivious to how the Enemy is lying in wait. I need to keep guard with You, and rely on You, or he will sneak in.
