THE DEVILS COMING BACK AGAIN

THE DEVILS COMING BACK AGAIN

There will never be a single step forward in your kingdom building project on earth, that will not be challenged by hell. Every sermon, every teaching, every testimony, every word of prophecy, every healing and especially every deliverance will be challenged and re-challenged.
"When an unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walks through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, I will return unto my house where I was cast out." Luke 11:24

There is so much relief and joy and feeling of overcoming superior authority, that comes from flowing in My Spirit, that many leaders walk in dangerous territory with their guard down. They develop a false picture that satan is cowering in fear when they are awake. Nothing could be further from the truth, in fact, the enemy is counting on this misconception to eventually defeat you.  Satan and his demons can be cast out and they will flee, but no one can keep them from trying to return. This is why I warned you to "be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, is walking about, seeking whom he may devour: [9] You must resist him continually in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world." 1 Peter 5:8-9

I hear jovial sayings, that the devil is saying, "oh no, watch out he's awake!" This is cute but what he is really saying is, "today I will destroy him with my new plan". The majority of the time his plan centers around sex or greed. All of the plots from hell are in one of three categories: "The lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life." 1 John 2:16 Many a preacher was on a spiritual high, when that beautiful woman walked in his office and said just the thing that covered all three at once, and in a single moment, God's man of faith and power, was destroyed!

Here is My word to those who are kingdom builders: get real, the devil is not afraid of you, he is looking for you to kill you! However, you have no reason to fear the enemy if, you "abide in me, and I in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can you, except you abide in Me. [5] I am the vine, you are the branches: He that abides in Me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit: for without Me you are powerless against the smallest of demons and can do nothing." John 15:4-5

Sure you can tread on serpents, and the devil is under your feet, but every preacher that fell in shame, preached that verse a dozen times. Always remember: if you were healed, he'll be back to make you sick again, delivered, he'll be back to bind you again, preaching how to be an overcomer, he'll be back to overcome you! That's his job and his nature. Do not fear, you have My assurance that as long as you abide in Me, "No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of My servants, and their righteousness is of Me." Isaiah 54:17 However the moment you start trusting in yesterday's victory or your reputation your as good as dead, because the devil's coming back as a roaring lion, to devour you. As long as you stay close to Me, you won't get hurt, and you will permanently overcome your enemy!
