Many times situations happen in
our lives which we do not know how or why they take place. The main source of conflict is Satan. He and those evil angels under his command
can work through various situations. These evil entities also put ideas into
people’s heads, which people think are their own ideas, to bring about Satan’s
desires. It is also for possible for
people things to have demonic spirits in them.
Jesus has given those, who are in Christ, authority over all the power
of the enemy.
Then
he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over
all devils, and to cure diseases (Luke 9:1).
Merrill worked at his machine in the factory to
make a quality product. The work was difficult
for him. One day he decided he had
enough. He walked over to the entrance
of the room where the door was and said, “Satan, see this threshold. You are
not allowed through this threshold into this room any more. Merrill’s bosses can come in this room, but
you have to stay out.”
First one boss walked into the room and around the
machine. Walked out of the door and
stood just beyond the threshold and glared at him without saying a word. Another boss came and stood outside the room
looking into the room where Merrill was working. A third boss came and stood outside the doorway
and stared at Merrill. All three bosses
never said a word and thus ended the harassment of Merrill by his bosses.
Your Response
The
disciples came back to Jesus after ministering in the country side and said,
“Even the devils are subject to us.”
Jesus said, “Don’t rejoice that the devils are subject to you, but
rejoice that your names are written in the Book of Life.” Reader, is your name written in the Book of
Life? If you are not sure that your name
is already recorded in the Book of Life, or if you know your name is not in the
Book of Life, then right now you can repent of your sins and invite Jesus into
your life. A sample prayer is, “Lord
Jesus Christ, forgive me of my sin and come into my heart.”
