TRUE SPIRITUAL WARFARE

*TRUE SPIRITUAL WARFARE*

*Matthew 12:43-45(KJV)* _When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth [it] empty, swept, and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last [state] of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation._

According to the bible the estimate of the angels before the fall was about three trillion, and about a third of them fell. Now compare that number to the seven billion humans on earth. And the bible says that all stars differ in glory. Meaning, even among demons there are differences in operations. However, those that teach demonology have only taught a few of these demons. Why? This is because even they cannot teach all of them.

Imagine how much time it would take to teach a trillion demons. We don’t have time for all that. According to our theme scripture, when a demon is cast out of someone, it goes to the dry lands and finds seven other demons more wicked than it, and when it finds the house where it was empty it will come back to it and the bondage of that person will be stronger.

So, instead of teaching people demons why don’t we teach them not to be empty. We should strive to fill them. That is the essence of the teaching ministry. True warfare is of the word of God. When we choose to teach, it’s not that we don’t know demons. No! It’s the teaching of the word that makes men free. It builds in men the freedom that Christ purchased for them on the cross. It establishes in men what the blood of Jesus Christ has given. *Hallelujah!*

*CONFESSION*

Thank You Lord for this knowledge. I understand the place of true spiritual warfare. True warfare against demons is not in teaching about demons or even in prayer, but in the word of God. So, I choose to give myself to the teaching of the word of God. As the word comes to my spirit, I am established in the freedom Christ purchased for me, *in Jesus’ name, Amen.*
