Topic:Holy Invasion
Text: I Peter 5:6-11

God has made provision for every weapon we will ever need in spiritual warfare. He knows how tough the battle will get in these end-times. He has, therefore, created such powerful weapons that will enable us to emerge victorious after every spiritual duel. God is ready to give you the ability to confront and conquer the devil. All you need to do is to be willing to receive the ability. You must be willing to draw upon the divine ability and resist the devil.

You are given an important assignment in James 4:7, “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” We are to resist the devil. It is sheer display of ignorance when some pray to bind the devil. The time to get the devil bound is still in the future. An angel from heaven will bind Satan and put him away for a thousand years. We can bind demons but we are to resist the devil. By trying to bind the devil we are only admitting to Satan our lack of knowledge of the order given us, and he will laugh at this. How are we to rests the devil?

We are given a clue in I Peter 5:8-9: “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.” We are to resist the devil by being steadfast in faith. You cannot resist the devil casually. You are to resist steadfastly, until the devil begins to move. You will gain confidence as you continue to resist the devil.

Your main assignment is to dislodge the agents of the devil planted around you to make up for his inability to be everywhere at the same time. Every Christian must be involved with the deliverance ministry. We are to go to the enemy. It is our duty to find out who needs deliverance and execute the deliverance. You are to take the battle to the gates of the enemy, smash the gates down and set the captives free. God expects us to be terror to the devil. He wants us to carry out a holy invasion against the enemy’s camp.
