THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT!

POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT WITH FIRE!

YOU HAVE BEEN EMPOWERED TO CAST OUT DEMONS, NOT TO IGNORE THEM. WHERE IS YOUR FIRE?

Memory Verses: Mark 16:15-18

15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

Bible Reading: Acts 19:11-16

¹¹ And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul: ¹² So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.

¹³ Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.

¹⁴ And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so.

¹⁵ And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?

¹⁶ And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.

Hebrews 1:7 says God makes His ministers a fiery flame. Are you a minister of God? If yes, where is your identity card? Not your physical ID card but the spiritual ID - the fire of the Holy Ghost. No matter how many ministerial licenses, certificates and ID cards you have, without the spiritual ID that comes from the Holy Spirit, you are not prepared for what God wants to do with you. In Acts 19:11-16, a group of young men who were approved of men being the children of the high priest wanted to challenge a demon in a demon-possessed man. They had all the physical ID cards they needed. They lacked one thing - the fire of the Holy Spirit and instead of casting out the demon, at the end of the day, they were like victims of a car accident. Demons do not honour certificates or big titles. All they look for is the fire. If they can see the fire, they will leave, not because you said so, but because if they refused to go, the fire will roast them. Where is your fire?

"And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues" (Mark 16:17). The first sign that our Lord said would follow those who believe and follow Him, is the ability to cast out devils. Every believer should be able to cast out demons. But unfortunately, contemporary ministers and senior pastors either shy away from this or struggle endlessly with one demon. It is because there is no fire. But why do you have to cast out demons? One reason is because they are usually the unseen manipulators of unpleasant events and circumstances. They are couriers of sicknesses - particularly those that cannot be diagnosed by scientific gadgets and tests. They are also the avenues by which Satan monitors people and effect generational curses on family lineages. If you discover there is a demon at work in a given situation, leave the physical enemy and rebuke, paralyze and cast out the spirit behind that situation. A pastor was under intensive persecution by his senior pastor. One day the Lord revealed a monkey-like spirit manipulating the senior pastor that was influencing his negative moves. Ask for God's fire today and dislodge every demon on assignment against you and your family. Jesus says you should cast out demons. Don't allow any demon the freedom to operate around you henceforth.

THE FATHER’S BLESSING:”I pray for someone reading this message today, The power of the Holy Spirit shall come upon you today, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee this season. The spirit of rising today and falling tomorrow shall be an experience of the past as the Lord shall continue to work with you, through you, for you and against your enemies in the mighty name of Jesus.” (Amen).

ACTION POINT FOR TODAY

Every demon you ignore effects Satan's mandate (to steal, to kill and to destroy) and defeats God's purpose over that situation. Dislodge them today!
