(Use Your Authority In Jesus To Discomfit Devils)
TO THE BIBLE: Mark 16:17 MSG
“These are some of the signs that will accompany believers: they will throw out demons in my name….”
LET’S TALK
Angels and demons are real beings! The day you were born into this world, God assigned an angel to you. That angel’s first responsibility was to protect you and to see to it that in the process of time, you heard and received the Gospel for your salvation.
But as you progress in life, depending on the calling of God on your life and the things He’s assigned you to do, He allocates more angels to you.
Conversely, Satan also has his own angels—demons—whose primary responsibility is to devour, destroy, deceive and lure people away from the path of righteousness right from when they’re born.
The Bible tells us about the woman who was about to deliver a child—a male child—in the Book of Revelation, and Satan was there waiting to devour the child, right from the time of birth (Revelation 12:4-5). This isn’t peculiar to that child; God is just showing us Satan’s mode of operation.
Satan isn’t a good guy—no matter how nicely the world tries to portray him—and he must be dealt with. The Lord Jesus said to cast him out! Every Christian has the ability and authority in Christ to cast out devils (Mark 16:17).
It’s not a question of how “strong” or “spiritual” you are; the Lord Jesus has given you His own authority. You have the power of attorney to use His Name against Satan and the cohorts of darkness.
Don’t permit him to ruin things in your life or in the lives of your loved ones. Don’t give him any chance; shut him up and cast him out! Get rough and tough with him and say, “Devil, get out of here in the Name of Jesus!” He’s got no option but to flee with his tail tucked between his legs!

Matthew 10:8; Luke 10:19
Pray:
Dear Father, thank you for your angels who are working on my behalf, and the authority you’ve given me in Christ over the devil and his agents of darkness. Satan has no place in my home, body, finances or anywhere around me, in the Name of Jesus. Amen
