Matthew 12:43 -
When the unclean spirit has gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
44 -
Then it says, I will go back to my house from which i came out,, And when it arrives, it finds the place unocupied, swept, put in order, and decorated.
Now heres the part that should be payed attention to.
Matthew 12:45
- Then it goes and brings with it 7 other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go and make their home there. And The last condition of that man becomes worse than the first. So also shall it be with this wicked generation.
For those of you dealing with spiritual warfare….you are not alone. These verses get to the point….
Matthew 12:46
- Jesus was still speaking to the people when behold, His mother and brothers stood outside, seeking to speak with him.
47
- Someone said to him, Listen! Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak to you.
Now it is most likely that these spirits have made their presence known. I know there are others out there were evil spirits are invading their life…
well then here is what The Word says about you in christ…
1 John5:4
- For whatever is born of God is victorious over the world; and this is the victory that conquers the world, EVEN OUR FAITH.
5 – Who is it that is victorious over [ that conquers ] the world but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God [ who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on that fact ] ?
6- This is He Who came by (with) water and blood [ his baptism and his death ], Jesus Christ (the Messiah) — not by (in) the water only, but by (in) the water and the blood. And it is the [Holy} Spirit who bears witness, because the [Holy] Spirit IS THE TRUTH.
water is refered to as the spirit many times in the word.
7 – So there are three witnesses in heaven, the Father, The Word, and the Holy Spirit and these three are one.
God is the father. Jesus is THE WORD and the Holy Spirit is iniquity!
but if we choose the accept the wrath of these spirits brought on by man….
9 – If we accept [ as we do ] the testimony of men [ if we are willing to take human authority ] , the testimony of God, even the witness which he has borne regarding His Son.
When we accepted Christ our spirit which he gave us becomes willing to serve Him. However, we are put in a human body as flesh. As this flesh we become part of the World. As being of the world we are natural born sinners. You say Sin? yes sin. Sin is the anti-iniquity of our creative being that is part of being of the world!
I am as much of a sinner as you are. With the Sin in the world I can fall just as easily as you can. We have to unite in Iniquity! in Jesus Christ.
Jesus (the word) says we must become like little children.
1 John 4:4
- Little children, you are of God [ you belong to Him ] and have [ already ] defeated and overcome them [ the agents of the anti-christ ] because HE WHO LIVES IN YOU IS GREATER (mightier) THAN HE WHO IS IN THE WORLD.
So as being in the world and the times we are living in these seven spirits are upon all of us.
Revelation 1:12-20
12 -
Then I turned to see [ who was ] the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lamp stands.
13 -
And in the midst of the lampstands [ One ] like a Son of Man, clothed in a robe which reached to his feet and with a girdle of gold around his breast. { refer to Daniel 7:13, 10:5 ]
13 -
His head and his hair where white like white wool [ as white ] as snow, and His eyes [ flashed ] like a flame of fire. { refer to Daniel 7:9 }
15His feet glowed like burnished (bright) bronze as it is refined in a furnace, and His voice was like the sound of many waters.(A)
16In His right hand He held seven stars, and from His mouth there came forth a sharp two-edged sword, and His face was like the sun shining in full power at midday.(B)
17When I saw Him, I fell at His feet as if dead. But He laid His right hand on me and said, Do not be afraid! I am the First and the Last,(C)
18And the Ever-living One [I am living in the eternity of the eternities]. I died, but see, I am alive forevermore; and I possess the keys of death and Hades (the realm of the dead).
19Write therefore the things you see, what they are [and signify] and what is to take place hereafter.
20As to the hidden meaning (the mystery) of the seven stars which you saw on My right hand and the seven lampstands of gold: the seven stars are the seven angels (messengers) of the seven assemblies (churches) and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.
for here is what we are on our road to victory….
Matthew 12:25-29
25And knowing their thoughts, He said to them, Any kingdom that is divided against itself is being brought to desolation and laid waste, and no city or house divided against itself will last or continue to stand.
26And if Satan drives out Satan, he has become divided against himself and disunified; how then will his kingdom last or continue to stand?
27And if I drive out the demons by [help of] Beelzebub, by whose [help] do your sons drive them out? [a]For this reason they shall be your judges.
28But if it is by the Spirit of God that I drive out the demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you [[b]before you expected it].
29Or how can a person go into a strong man’s house and carry off his goods (the entire equipment of his house) without first binding the strong man? Then indeed he may plunder his house.
1 John 4:1-4
1BELOVED, DO not put faith in every spirit, but prove (test) the spirits to discover whether they proceed from God; for many false prophets have gone forth into the world.
2By this you may know (perceive and recognize) the Spirit of God: every spirit which acknowledges and confesses [the fact] that Jesus Christ (the Messiah) [actually] has become man and has come in the flesh is of God [has God for its source];
3And every spirit which does not acknowledge and confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh [but would [a]annul, destroy, [b]sever, disunite Him] is not of God [does not proceed from Him]. This [[c]nonconfession] is the [spirit] of the antichrist, [of] which you heard that it was coming, and now it is already in the world.
4Little children, you are of God [you belong to Him] and have [already] defeated and overcome them [the agents of the antichrist], because He Who lives in you is greater (mightier) than he who is in the world.
We all go through this…
read Job chapters 1 and 2
For God has told you and me that we are safe.
Numbers 23:23
23Surely there is no enchantment with or against Jacob, neither is there any divination with or against Israel. [In due season and even] now it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What has God wrought!
That is our iniquity we have in Christ Jesus.
