Friends, greetings in Jesus Name! Today I will be sharing with you on what I title, “Freedom from the Power of Darkness”. Despite their devotion to the things of God, it is stunning to see many Christians still held captive by the devil. These are good people being tormented in one area or the other by Satan. Some are held bound in the area of anger, sexual addiction, drunkenness, smoking, masturbation, gluttony, mental torments, failure, sicknesses, nightmares, poverty, etc. As a matter of fact, some believers feel the presence of the devil more than the presence of God in their lives. This may appear simple but a huge stronghold that many believers are going through today. One of the things holding many Christians in captivity today has been IGNORANCE. I don’t care what you are suffering or going through today, but the moment you recognize the way out and follow through, you are FREE. Unfortunately, the way out is always before us but we don’t see it. Jesus said to His disciples, “I am the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6).

And in Matthew 11:28, He declares, “Come unto me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” As believers, we are commanded to learn the way of Christ. Colossians 2:6-7 says, “As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him.” Remember, Jesus once lived here on earth and was tempted just like us. He is our perfect example on how to deal with the devil and walk daily in VICTORY. While on EARTH, Jesus used a strategy against Satan that the devil could not withstand. You may ask: What strategy did He use? The Word! One of the things the Lord taught me was never to engage the devil in a “war of reasoning”. Why? That’s Satan’s domain. He will reason you out of the truth. No matter what the devil is bringing your way, the answer to all his troubles against your life lies in these three words: “IT IS WRITTEN”. This was Jesus weapon when Satan came against Him.

You can never go wrong when you apply this same spiritual prescription to your most difficult challenges. Many believers lack the knowledge of the word of God. “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6). Never forget, you can’t say to Satan “IT IS WRITTEN” when you lack the knowledge of what is WRITTEN in the Bible. If you stay in the “Word” long enough, it has the power to change you from inside out, and deliver you from whatever problem you might be going through. Unfortunately, many believers don’t read their bible. They want a quick fix. It doesn’t work that way. Now, begin to devour the Bible as though your life depends on it. Drive out all the bondage, fear, torments, and the oppressions of the devil out of your life with the word of God. That is the secret. Read the Word and Pray the Word. Speak it to the devil and declare your Freedom in any area you are being held captive. Hallelujah! I see you walking in VICTORY. Have a fantastic Week. With love, Elvis!
