Considering how much the devil
hates people and how dead set he is on destroying them, it's no wonder
we see so much tragedy and disaster in the world. In fact, it's amazing
that we don't see more!
I asked the Lord about that one
time and He told me it takes the realm of darkness a long time to set up
major disasters. Take the aviation industry, for example. It's highly
regulated and works hard at policing itself because safety is its
product. You take a highly regulated system like that and the devil has
to work terribly hard to cause disasters.
He can't just come
roaring in and rip things up any time he wants to. If he could, he'd
knock every plane out of the sky tonight. But he can't do it.
Why?
Because he's bound. The Bible says he's bound to things that are common
to man. He has to line up certain things in this natural, human realm
before he can lay a finger on you. He has to use people to get his work
done.
But, bless God, we're not bound to what's common to man. We're free to use what's common to God!
We fight our warfare with uncommon weapons. What does that mean? It
means you ought to have the devil wrapped up and sewed up. You ought to
put him in a sack with a ribbon on top.
The devil can't cause
disaster in your life unless he has been given place. He can't come in
and start destroying and stealing from you unless he can get you into a
place of sin, doubt, ignorance or disobedience. So if he's been giving
you trouble, ask the Holy Spirit to show you where you've let those
things in. Then repent and get rid of them.
Once you've done that,
pull out the weapons God has given you and fire away with both barrels.
Pull out the Word. Pull out prayer. Pull out faith and use it to tie
the devil in knots. Use the uncommon power of God to keep him bound and
he won't be able to put anything over on you.
