Dominating the Devil! [podcast]
Dancing on the Defeated Devil’s Grave! Get some! Now!
Dominating sin and satan only comes to those willing to die and be buried “with Christ.” (Romans 6; Galatians 2:20) The result is His glorious resurrection in their lives and consequent victory over sin and satan!
IS JESUS not the Answer? Yes He is….. let’s give the world around us that answer to man’s core dilemma – sin! Jesus is the only Solution!
It’s the stated will of God that we walk in His victory – in the victory He provided through Christ.
“But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 15:57
One can vainly attempt to change his life by changing his thinking and never get delivered. A changed life requires God’s grace through Christ and true repentance, obedience, and the daily cross. Romans 12:1-2. WHAT comes first?
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God (absolute repentance), which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Romans 12:1-2
Your heart must be changed and only God Himself can do that. He desires and will make that complete change in those who humble themselves before Him and truly repent – lay down their life, door nail dead.
In the scope of past, present, and future history – HIS-story – nothing is over till Jesus wins!
“For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. … 57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 15:25-26, 57
Jesus Informed us that We have an Enemy!
CAN YOU relate? OFTEN the Holy Spirit prompts my heart to always remember that the real battle rages in the Spirit and not the flesh (Ephesians 6:12). Memory truth:
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Ephesians 6:12
Jesus informs us that it’s Satan who has come “to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.” (John 10:10) Where ever you see stealing, killing, and destroying, you know that sin has given Satan legal ground to work His evil (James 4:7). Yet, Jesus then says “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” Here’s Christ’s statement:
“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” John 10:10
Sin gives Satan the right to dominate ones life, yet Jesus came to “destroy the works of the devil.”
“He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.” 1 John 3:8
Note: You will never dominate the devil until you forsake all his wolves who pose as pastors. Discern: IF he’s not preaching repentance, the cross, and holiness, he’s a fraud! Run!
Getting Honest is the First Step Toward Total Victory
“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” Jeremiah 17:9
Jesus taught us that man’s sin comes out of his “desperately wicked” heart (Jer17:9; Mark 7:20-23).
The devil and his agents have created a million ways to divert us from stopping our lives, getting honest, taking personal responsibility, humbling ourselves, admitting our sins against God, and repenting.
“When David took his sin to God in Psalm 51 he took 100 percent responsibility! He did not blame Bathsheba and did not seek therapy or medications. He took his heart to God. Repented and pleaded with the Lord to forgive and cleanse him. And the Lord restored to him the joy of his salvation. David was truly broken before God. And the only answer he sought was the Lord.” Karen Cochran
YOU CANNOT AND WILL NOT DOMINATE THE DEVIL UNTIL JESUS IS DOMINATING YOUR OWN LIFE – THE CROSS!
Any sin gives place to Satan (Ephesians 4:27; 6:11; James 4:7). Who’s ready to dominate the devil?
Jesus came to reunite us with the Father, to forgive and make captives free, establishing each of His saints in an abiding union with He and the Father (Luke 4:18; Acts 3:26; 10:38, etc.).
Learning the daily cross Jesus and His holy apostles instructed us to take up is essential to walking with Him (Luke 9:23-24; 2 Corinthians 4:10-12; Galatians 2:20; 5:24; 6:14; Colossians 3:4, etc.). This life will not work without it – not matter what one tries. | The Cross in Your Personal Life means Jesus will Reign!
IF you dare defend Satan’s works, if you don’t stand against them, it clearly proves you are of the devil. Repent now sinner (Psalms 94:16; Ephesians 5:11; 1 John 3:8).
Bless-ed Deliverance and Victory is not for All
Jesus came ….
“To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.” Acts 26:18
Only those who truly obey God will be free from sin and Satan. All those who don’t literally obey God’s Word are under the control of the enemy of all souls.
“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. … 36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” John 8:31-32, 36
To be dominated by the Holy Ghost and dominating the devil, you must obey God. To hear and obey is essential (Isaiah 1:18-29).
Jesus came to bless abundantly and yet He will not unless His conditions are met.
“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.” James 1:22
We must obey the LORD and remember that just because God is using us, in no way means He’s not still purging, chastening, correcting, and stripping us. He’s got bigger things in mind – even greater fruitfulness!
“Every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.” John 15:2
No one said the purging, stripping, correcting, and chastening of the LORD aren’t grueling and don’t hurt – and yet, the LORD told us that these are necessary and that no son of His is without it. In fact, He says that anyone who rejects His work chooses not to be his – is without Him as their Father (Hebrews 12:5-11).
In a world of religious counterfeits who possess but a mere “form of godliness,” may God bless us to demonstrate true, authentic faith and worship-filled obedience to the nail-scarred risen LORD and Savior! (2 Timothy 3:5)
In Matthew 16, we read how Peter, one of Jesus’ own 12, was used by Satan, just after he’d said to Jesus “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.” (Matthew 16:16) Then Peter sought to stop Jesus from going to the cross and Jesus said to him “Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.” (Matthew 16:23)
Satan used Peter and Satan can use any of us, if we lapse. Jesus is our only protection and momentary submission to Him essential to keep the devil out.
“Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.” 1 Corinthians 10:12
“Neither give place to the devil.” Ephesians 4:27
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:” 1 Peter 5:8
To keep the devil under foot, one must keep his own body under the power of the Holy Ghost, under subjection to the LORD, by way of the cross – the crucified life.
“But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.” 1 Corinthians 9:27
Greek for “keep under”
hupōpiazō
hoop-o-pee-ad’-zo
From a compound of G5259 and a derivative of G3700; to hit under the eye (buffet or disable an antagonist as a pugilist), that is, (figuratively) to tease or annoy (into compliance), subdue (one’s passions): – keep under, weary.
ANYone willing to repent, to return afresh to the LORD, can be delivered! Do you know what James 4:7 says?
“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” James 4:7
Read James 4:7 again. Only those who submit to God on His terms, will be able to “resist (stand against) the devil” and be free from him. This is a non-negotiable divine truth.
TODAY is your day to begin using the real Bible-the King James Bible.
Did our LORD not announce to us what His divine mission was and still is?
Mission Statement of Jesus:
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,” Luke 4:18
The only way to dominate the devil is to obey God by consenting to your own death, the crucified life.
“Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.” 2 Corinthians 4:10-12
If you choose not to love Jesus more than your own wicked self, you will remain under Satan’s control. Jesus calls you to lay down your life – to die and let Him live and reign in you. Running from this cross message reveals that one is not authentic. Running to this repeatedly, biblically-stated message of the original Gospel proves authenticity before God. Are you real?
WHO do you belong to? Wait no longer – Get to the cross, now!
Simply knowing the truth is very important and yet, to walk in victory over the flesh, the world, and the devil, divine virtue must fill our lives – and that occurs through the daily cross life.
“Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.” 1 Corinthians 7:23
We have been purchsed by the blood of Jesus Christ. We are His property now. We belong to Him. As such, we are to serve Him and not man’s world, not mere men in ministry, etc.
