. We have complete dominion over satan. Our revelation of the Scriptures demystifies and dislodges him. Ignorance of God's Word makes satan lord over us. If satan can threaten you, he can control you.
. Examine Heb.2:14,15. The first thing Christ's death did was to FINISH OFF satan; the second was to deliver those who THROUGH FEAR OF DEATH were subject to lifelong bondage. Col.1:12-14; 2:11-16 are just awesome. Just look at chapter 2:10: ...and you have come to FULNESS OF LIFE IN HIM. Please prayerfully study the book of Colossians -quite loaded.
. According to John 1:4,5, darkness has no record of ever contending with light. The only solution to darkness is light -darkness bows out the moment light is introduced. The light that deals with satan is called REVELATION. The unfolding, unlocking of God's Word is what gives revelation, and we live by revelation: revelation actually births faith. Ignorance births fear. Fear makes you satan's toy, while faith makes satan your toy.
. Actually, one great thing praying in the spirit does,is to place you at a vantage point from whence you can get a clearer picture of Christ and His Word. That untainted picture of Christ and His Word you capture, is what kills satan,not empty shouts emanating from ignorance and fear.
. Look up Isaiah 10:27 with other translations. It actually means that the FATTER we grow in His Word, the more of satanic dominion we break free from. Compare that scripture with Gal.4:1-12.
. Praying for a man against satanic oppression can only grant him temporary relief, but not FREEDOM. Freedom comes by God's Words REIGNING in one's heart -you shall KNOW the Truth and the Truth shall make you FREE (see Luke 11:24-26).
. We reign in life by His Word RESIDING in us -John 15:7,8. God's Word is the SEED and your heart is the ground,remember. Within every seed lies a mighty forest; how you tend and nurture that seed to fruition, determines how much you will be sustained by whatever dimension of harvest it brings forth.
. The greatest threat to our existence is ignorance, not satan. Despite Paul's diverse supernatural encounters, he still insisted on KNOWING Christ the more -that was the key to his excelling in life and ministry. We would be greatly undermining the GREATEST POWER working within us by seeking anything less.
GOD BLESS YOU RICHLY!
