Do Not Entertain Demons!

D O. N O T. E N T E R T A I N. D E M O N S…….. C A S T. T H E M. O U T. Yep this was a command of Jesus, just like preach the gospel, give to others, heal the sick, but there’s some scriptures that just seem to rub Christians the wrong way….. ones like cast out demons and raise the dead!! Honestly I’ve never understood why entire churches can ignore certain teaching, but I realize now that is because of a lack of revelation. In this area, many churches even struggle with healing the sick part! Jesus Said, ““I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.” ‭‭John‬ ‭16:12-13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ But WE limit what we receive from the Lord by our OWN UNBELIEF!! Here scripture tells us that the Spirit of truth will guide us. Rather than press in, to uncover truth, we get offended at such teaching and attack the messenger rather than delve into the message…. If all scripture is inspired by God and suitable for teaching, then why not cast out demons? Why not raise the dead? Why not heal the sick? Do we know better than the Lord? Will we limit His ability to demonstrate His power? One of my favorite verses is “And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.” ‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭2:4-5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Dare I say, that part of the problem is that many are really good at the wise and persuasive words part, but not as experienced in allowing God to demonstrate his power…. So the church body is sick, oppressed, addicted and when someone dies unexpectedly…..Funeral procedures move forward, rather than calling on God’s people to raise the dead…. Oh father open our eyes to receive your word, give us revelation so that we can step into all that you have for us as we take our place in expanding your kingdom. “You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.” ‭‭I John‬ ‭4:4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
