Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart

2 Corinthians 2:11, “Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.”

How do you disassociate yourself from the devil?

You do it by identifying his activity.

“His thoughts” in the above verse refer to Satan’s thoughts in our thoughts.

They are Satan’s thoughts in our subjective thinking.

So Paul disassociates the thoughts from himself by identifying them as Satan’s thoughts.

Speak to the concealed devil.

This means you are going to speak to your feelings.

You are going to speak to your jealousy.

You are going to speak to your doubt.

You are going to speak to your envy.

You are going to speak to your opinion.

You are going to speak to your reasoning.

You are going to speak to what seems to be you!

You have been oppressed by demons, but now you have found out that an enemy has usurped your being.

That is not Christ, that is not your spirit, that is not your real person, that is not really you.

You discover that a hidden enemy has been occupying your thoughts and feelings.

When you start to disassociate yourself from the enemy with prayer, with the exercise of “the weapons of our warfare” that are mighty through God, you pull down the strongholds (2 Cor. 10:4).

Not only does the stronghold of reasoning come down, but Satan is cast out.

James 4:7 says, “Resist the devil and he will flee from you.”

And Revelation 12:10-11 says, 10 “The accuser of our brethren . . . has been cast down. 11 And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their soul-life to the death.”

This means we can say, “Soul-life, I am not going to preserve you.

You are the one that wants to preserve itself.

You are the one that is holding back.

And Satan, you are the one hiding out in my soul.

You are the one that is afraid.

You are the one that hides from the light.

You are the one crouching as sin in the flesh.

You are the one that is independent.

Soul-life, you are the culprit.

You are enmeshed with Satan.”

Declare the facts to the devil.

Disassociate yourself from the enemy with a strong spirit, and demons will leave you and you will be free–free in a new source.

Until Tomorrow

With A Shepherd’s Love,

Pastor Jackson
