Devil on Your Back?

Anybody remember that song “Shut thee door keep out the devil.” (thee is the sound not the).

It’s all over for the devil once you learn and apply the cross – the Bible concept of dying and letting Jesus reign in your life! Boom.

“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” James 4:7

I’m sorry, what?! Read James 4:7 again!

Okay, so let me get this straight …. If I submit myself to God afresh, repent, return to Him with a whole heart, then I can “Resist the devil, and he will flee from” me? Isn’t that what you just read for yourself in James 4:7? Yes it is!

James 4:7 – Greatest spiritual warfare Scripture in the Bible right there!

You can pray till you’re blue in the face and Satan is going no where – till you repent.

You can entertain and titillate your mind all day long with surface level nuggets and ramblings and yet nothing explosive is going to occur, nothing powerful is going to happen in your life until you die the death – until you put your foot down, smashing Satan’s head, and declare that Jesus Christ alone reigns in your life from that moment forward!

When sin is vanquished from your life, Satan is vanquished – he no longer has any legal right, claim to you! He is shut out! Satan failed at tempting Jesus because Jesus refused to enter into the temptations the Devil laid before Him. Jesus was in a season of fasting and prayer. This is key for us as it’s what He commanded for us (Matthew 6:16).

“When ye fast … Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Matthew 6:16; 26:41

Recently was able to share with a man who was seeking victory over his sins. The instruction was that there is nothing, no sin he can’t fast out of his life – as he draws near to God in repentance, God will draw near to Him and make him free (James 4:8). See Isaiah 58. | Fasting and Prayer

It’s G.O.D. time = Game Over Devil!

On a regular basis and a whole lot lately, people come, call for prayer. The first order of business is to get the sin dealt with in their lives, then the devil is forced out – he then has no legal right to them and must flee.

IF you are not enduring sound doctrine – holding yourself accountable to divine truth – you are Hell bound. If your life is all about YOU instead of JESUS – you will dodge, twist, and manipulate Scripture to fit your own sinful whims, and vainly believe that God doesn’t see all your dissimulation.

“Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” 2 Timothy 4:2-4

If your pastor is not preaching the pure Word of God and watching for your eternal soul, you are completely deceived and being led to eternal damnation (Hebrews 13:7, 17). This would account for more than 90% of the fake “Christian” leaders operating today.

“For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.” Isaiah 9:16

For explosive revelation of false prophets, read Jeremiah 23, Ezekiel 34, Matthew 23, and 2 Peter 2.

Now, today is your day to truly come before the throne of His grace while you can – before it’s too late. Nothing less than real, authentic repentance which produces a changed life will be in Heaven.

YOUR PRAYER: Jesus I am done with the Devil! I am sick and tired of living in sin and being battered by Your archenemy. Most of all, I want to love You supremely. I want to know You. Father, I come to You with an open, honest heart and ask You to forgive all my sins, to wash me clean in Thy precious blood dear LORD Jesus. Into Your holy hands I now submit my spirit, soul, and body. Make me whole LORD, as You alone can do. Please fill me with Your Holy Ghost and use me in this last hour as we look for Your soon return. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Pride and False Prophets [podcast]


“And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.”  Matthew 24:11

What’s the difference between true and false servants of the LORD?

Jeremiah 23 is essential concerning recognizing the “MANY false prophets” which Jesus foretold would “deceive MANY” in this late hour before His return (Matthew 24:11).

True servants of the LORD stand in the counsel, the WORD of the LORD and not in the evil imaginations, dreams, or visions of their own wicked hearts.

Jeremiah 23
“Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD.
17  They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.
18  For who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it?
19  Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.
20  The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly.
21  I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
22  But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.”

ARE YOU in God’s Word daily or have you backslidden? It’s either one or the other.

True servants of the LORD, as was the case with Paul and Timothy, will get YOU into God’s Word for yourself…

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15

“As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:” 1 Peter 2:2

So both the LORD’s apostle Paul and the apostle Peter instructed believers to get into the Word of God for themselves – to “study” and to “desire” it. Any man pretending to represent Christ and not do this very thing repeatedly is a bona fide wolf in sheep’s clothing, a devil.

Imagine parents who continued to feed their infant and never taught that baby to pick up the spoon and feed themself….  so that child would perpetually be dependent upon someone else feeding them…. in the natural this is unheard of, yet it’s rampant in that which claims to be Christ’s “church.”

Read Jeremiah 23.

But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.”  James 4:6-10

“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” 1 John 4:1

Pride vs Humility

“Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.” (Proverbs 16:18) True humility before God first, then men, always wins – “Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.” (James 4:10)

“Come unto Me, all Ye that Labour and are Heavy Laden, and I will Give You Rest” [podcast


God is “Holy, holy, holy” and “God is love.” (Isaiah 6:3; 1 John 4:8, 16; Revelation 4:8)

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” John 3:16-18

Jesus came and died to save us “while we were yet sinners.”

“For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:6-8

The Proof of God’s Love for all Men

“In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.” 1 John 4:9-10

“And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” Revelation 22:17

“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29  Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30

“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. 5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. 6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.  7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” Revelation 21:4-8

“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” 1 Corinthians 2:9

Prayer: Heavenly Father, please do Your ever-deepening work in my heart and life. Please imbue my innermost being with your holiness, holy fear, and love. Bless this vessel to be purified, cleansed of all iniquity and falsity, made authentic by You dear LORD. In Jesus’ name, amen.
