THE CONTROLLING SPIRIT OF THIS AGE
TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
THURSDAY, 15TH JUNE 2017
TOPIC: THE CONTROLLING SPIRIT OF THIS AGE
SCRIPTURE: In which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience.
Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest - Ephesians 2:2-3
MEMORY VERSE: Galatians 5:16
DIGGING DEEP: There are two courses in this world which are the course of God and that of the devil. The path of God leads to eternal life and that of the devil leads to eternal death. The devil always goes to and fro like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. That means that the major duty of the devil is to ruin the lives of men.
It is of great necessity that we guard ourselves and be more vigilant than ever. Carelessness is not to be entertained in this season.
The devil is subtle and curny, he often uses this to get around and influence. That was what he did to eve in eden and so manipulated the state of human race.
What are controlling spirits? These are demonic spirits that seek or have gained influence and legality in the life of men. They can dictate the behaviour of a person, the culture of a place, the patterns in a family and so on. When you get into a place you can tell the spiritual forces controlling that country or state. Some it is insincerity, some places divorce and infidelity, some it is suicide bombing and violence, some is a pattern of crime, others it is spiritual coldness and lack of desire for the things of God. The list is endless. But in the name of Jesus any controlling power in your environment is subdued under you today in Jeaus' name.
Our anchor Scripture states that these forces are powers in the air and translates to work in the lives of those who are dead in sin.
Let us see a few: a. Disobedience: Today the rate of disobedience is abysmally high. People are disobedient to God, children are disobedient to parents, citizens are disobedient to the country and so on. It is a controlling spirit in the atmosphere.
b. Lust of the flesh: The "lust of the flesh" is an evil desire for the things of the flesh. It is indulging in desires of the flesh and mind. If what your mind desires is not in alignment with the things of God then a controlling spirit is at work.
Controlling spirits tend to build altars in our mind in which the devil finds legality to traffic. Some it is addiction to sex causing fornication and adultery, there are some it is lying and insincerity, envy, hate, obssession and many more. But in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth any thing that is not of God influencing your mind and affecting your life it is broken in the name of Jesus.
Finally, Jesus began to explain how He will be killed, Peter was under a controlling spirit and began to say it is not possible but Jesus rebuked that devil "Jesus turned to Peter and said, "Get away from me, Satan! You are a dangerous trap to me. You are seeing things merely from a human point of view, not from God's" (Matthew 16:23 NLT). So therefore controlling spirits are satanic traps and they make you see things only from man's point of view and not God's.
I decree that you are breaking free now in Jesus' name.
PRAYER: O Lord i decree that no satanic influence has the capacity to manipulate my life and destiny in the name of Jesus.
QUOTE: You can't be manipulated and manifest - Dr. Dabbas Joel
DAILY READING: Isaiah 17
