YOUR BATTLE
Paul describes this battle. For we wrestle not
against flesh and blood, but against principalities,
against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of
this world (Ephesians 6: 12a).
Peter warns, Be sober, be vigilant; because your
adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking
whom he may devour. (I Peter 5:8).
We can no longer sit with our hands folded, a
pious expression on our face, and convince ourselves
that if we ignore the devil, surely, he will go away.
Even the Apostle Paul wrote of his struggles
with Satan and demon forces. He states, Wherefore we
would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but
Satan hindered us (I Thessalonians 2:18). He also said
that he was bothered by a messenger of Satan that
buffeted him (II Corinthians 12:7).
Paul warned Timothy that some Christians
would depart from the faith, because they would give
heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils (I
Timothy 4:1).
The word translated demon possessed in the
Bible, daimonizomai, actually means demonized,
or bothered by demons. Many Christians are
needlessly bothered by demons not realizing that
Jesus has given us a wonderful assurance. He
declared that He has given us the power to tread on
serpents (the devil) and scorpions (demons), and over all
11
the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt
you (Luke 10:19).
YOUR SALVATION AND
GODS FORGIVENESS
The first step in winning a battle is to be
certain you are on the right side. By praying the
following prayer, sincerely, you can know that you
are part of Gods family and have eternal life.
Father,
I know that I am a sinner. I know that Jesus
died to pay the penalty of my sin, and that He
rose again from the dead. I now accept your
gift of salvation and forgiveness. I accept Jesus
Christ as my personal Savior.
Amen
The moment that you prayed that prayer, and
meant it from your heart, you were born into the
family of God. You received total forgiveness for
every sin that you have ever committed.
God said, I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin
will I remember no more (Jeremiah 31:34b). His Word
also tells us that, the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses
us from all sin (I John 1:7).
A believer can maintain continual fellowship
with God and keep the doors closed to Satan by
confessing every sin to God. If we confess our sins, he is
12
18
YOUR COMMITMENT
Another door that Satan will try to use is the
door of self-will and rebellion. It must be closed by
committing your spirit, body and soul, one-hundred
percent, to Jesus as the Lord of your life. Maybe you
feel wanting to do your own thing is not serious or
even of much importance to God. But the Bible states
Gods thoughts on this subject very clearly. "For
rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as
iniquity and idolatry (I Samuel 15:23a).
Now the body is not for sexual immorality, but for
the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
Do you not know that your body is the temple of the
Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you
are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore
glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's (I
Corinthians 6:13b,19,20).
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of
God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy,
acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do
not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the
renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good
and acceptable and perfect will of God (Romans 12:1,2).
To be victorious in the battle with Satan, we
must renounce any involvement with the pleasures of
this world. We must be totally committed to obeying
Gods Word. We must continually renew our minds
with the Word of God, and commit our lives totally to
19
Uncontrolled Tongue
Lying, gossip, criticism, nagging, cursing, and
blasphemy
Addictions
Nicotine, alcohol, drug abuse, and unnatural
compulsions for food or drink
Physical Infirmities
Often incurable illnesses are caused by a
spirit of infirmity, such as deafness, arthritis, or
cancer
Religious Spirits
False religions, cults, occult, spiritism, and
seducing spirits of false doctrine
Satan and demon spirits work to enslave,
defile and torment. Their objective is to kill, steal and
destroy. Thank God, by the revelation gifts of the
Holy Spirit, we are not ignorant of Satans devices
and he will have no advantage over us.
YOUR PROTECTION
THE BLOOD OF JESUS
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and
by the word of their testimony (Revelation 12: 11a).

YOUR AUTHORITY
THE NAME OF JESUS
Jesus said, And these signs will follow those who
believe: In My name they will cast out demons (Mark 16:
17a).
Joel said, Whosoever calls on the name of the LORD
(Jesus) shall be saved (Joel 2:32a).
Solomon said, The name of the LORD is a strong
tower: the righteous run to it, and are safe (Proverbs
18:10).
The seventy returned with joy to Jesus saying,
Lord, even the demons are subject unto us in Your name.
And Jesus answered, Behold, I give you the authority to
trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of
the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you (Luke
10:17b,19).
Paul spoke to the spirit of divination that
possessed the damsel. I command you in the name of
Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out that very
hour (Acts 16:18b).
YOUR POWER THE HOLY SPIRIT
Luke tells us that Jesus called his twelve
disciples together, and gave them power and
authority over all devils (Luke 9:1). In the next
chapter he writes that this power was over all the
24
26
the mouth of the devil, our enemy, the one who goes
around as a roaring lion.
Faith will make us strong in the battle against
the alien forces of Satan. Faith will turn his demon
forces to flight.
The Apostle Paul in his letter to the Ephesians
wrote of the powerful shield of faith. Above all, taking
the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the
fiery darts of the wicked one (Ephesians 6:16).
These fiery darts are the negative thoughts,
doubts, and fears that Satan continuously tries to put
into our minds.
If we allow these thoughts to stay in our
minds, we will soon begin to imagine ourselves as
sick, defeated, poverty-stricken, helpless individuals.
Soon these fiery darts of the enemy will have become
our thoughts and will have become a strong hold over
our minds and bodies.
Paul said, For though we walk in the flesh, we do
not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare
are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds,
casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself
against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into
captivity to the obedience of Christ (II Corinthians 10:35).
When the lies of Satan come against our
minds, as we are standing in faith, these fiery darts
bounce off our shield of faith and are cast down. We
can walk in victory every time. Where then do we
