Power of darkness do really exist! This is evidenced by the many mysterious happenings of our time. Throughout the world we hear weird stories of ghosts and very many others of existence of jinis and many other evil spirits. Mad people actually see and hear voices. The spirits dictate to them what to do. They force the mad people to do their bidding. Evil spirits are evident in our daily lives.
Very many men of God set crusades all over the world. In those meetings we find many who were possessed being delivered. Like the times of Jesus,they often announce their numbers and the source in which they come from. The person is usually just the host of those demons. Since they are spirits they do not own their own bodies but use the bodies of the host,speak at times with the voice of the host and try at all times to destroy that host.
Many diseases on earth are demon caused. That is the more reason why diseases increase in intensity during the night. The evil spirits like the secrecy of darkness to disturb those possessed.
At around 3.00 in the morning,the child started to speak in manly voices, The spirits inside her were trying to update each other where they went to that day and what they did. Scared stiff,the parents rushed the child to the man of God exhorted the spirits from her. Faith soon recovered and started to talk like any other child.
Another story is told about a man who could actually hear voices which could order him to do weird things. He could be ordered to take off all his clothes and start to collect papers and rubbish. At times he could be ordered to go and direct vehicles on the road.
His most undoing was when the spirits ordered him to cut himself. He could use sharp objects. It was only through prayer and God's grace that delivered him to literally draw blood which he normally drank.
Darkness can never prevail where there is light.. When light enters through the door,darkness escapes through the window. The spirits of darkness should be fought with light.. Many people are suffering out there due to allowing the devil to take control of their life. Once you pluck the devil from your life,you literally invite light into your life.
Do you know that we are soldiers of God.The fight against these powers is ours. We need to go to the battle. Yet nobody should take on the opponent without knowing him. We have to know the opponent with his fighting methods. In order to defeat him,we need to be armed and lay our strategies of battle. We can only do this if we know the fighting tactics of the adversary and his fighting tactics. How are we going to counterattack him and be able to defeat him. Winning is on our side as He who is in us is greater than he who is in our enemies. We can also win this battle as the one who is in us strengthens us.
First,we need to understand that our battle is not physical. Our struggle is not against flesh and blood. The battleground is not physical either. The battle is in the spiritual realms. Now that sounds interesting and raises very many questions that need be answered. How can we embark on a journey to the spiritual world in order to fight a spiritual warfare?Which weapons can we engage so as to conquer spiritual battalions?
Our fight is against the rulers of darkness. Their quest is to rule the world too. But first they need to make it dark with pitch darkness. How can they achieve this? By making the world move away from God and begin doing actions that go with darkness.Look at the world today and tell me if darkness is not slowly settling in. We are also engaging battle with authorities and powers of the dark world. They do exercise power and authority over the dark world.There are also spiritual sources of evil to reckon with. Are you afraid and trembling now? Don't be for a solution is at hand,
You have to put on the full Armour of God. Once you are adorned in these;you are able to stand when the hour of darkness comes. Here is the list. Buy them and not keep them in the wardrobe but wear them. Do not leave behind even a single garment.
Truth in the form of a belt. Are you truthful in all your undertakings? Maybe you are living a lie. Change.
Righteousness as a breastplate. Are you sure that you live a blameless life? You ought to be righteous and upright in the eyes of God and the people.
The Gospel of Peace in the readiness of your feet. Are you at peace with God and all the people?
Make faith your shield.With faith you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
Those are sure ways of fighting those spiritual demons who wants the world to be in darkness and disarray. These simple steps surely see him defeated. Practice them in your life.
