OPERATION OF SPIRITS

“Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked” (Eph 6:16)

The Soul is the cockpit/ ignition point of everyman. The spirit and body, without a soul is an impossible equation. The soul is the magic that unites the spirit and the body. In spiritual matters there are three battle grounds, the Soul/mind, the Church, and Heavenly places.

The soul consists of the mind, the will, the intellect and emotions of a man. Take a breadth and examine yourself, your greatest battles have been the battles of your mind. ‘

You must understand that when God said all power (authority) is with him, it means the devil is powerless. However, scriptures warns against ignorance of his devices, meaning he has certain manipulative strategies, and although defeated by Jesus, he could manipulate his way into controlling the ignorant.

Scriptures summarizes the entire scope and strategy of the devil into this, Satan, is come to steal, then kill and thereafter destroy. Now what he does is that he steal’s what a person have rendering such a person naked and helpless, in this reality he destroys the soul in hell.

So spiritual intelligence is guarding what you have from the thief. To be very direct with our text (Eph 6:16) God’s instruction is that we must be a Snob to the devil to overcome him, because Gods word says; “take faith as a shield”, what is faith? Looking unto Jesus

The devil has no authority (exousia) above man, but he has power (dunamis) that contends with man’s authority. But again, the devil’s greatest power is not demons, but man. This is difficult to take. But in this realm called earth, divinity partners with humanity to birth reality.

By implication if no man on earth yields to the devil, the devil would be a piece of rag. Both God and the kingdom of darkness seek partnership with man by contending for the soul. Now before a spirit whether of God or the devil can operate, there must be a foundation.

For God to operate in a man, there must be a foundation in his soul or heart called Faith. Before the kingdom of darkness can operate there must be a foundation in same, called doubt, unbelief, fear, and everything contrary to the faith in Christ. Let’s stop here today.

SELAH: Create the right foundation in your heart!
