When you answer the call of God on your life, when you receive a word from God or when you begin to walk boldly in your assignment, expect a reaction from the pit of hell. Satan can not stand men of vision and purpose. You must guard the Word in you.
Mark 4: 14 – 15
The sower soweth the word. And these are they by the wayside, where the word is sown; BUT WHEN THEY HAVE HEARD, SATAN COMETH IMMEDIATELY, AND TAKETH AWAY THE WORD THAT WAS SOWN IN THEIR HEARTS.
Satan’s action is spontaneous against the Word; the devil knows “The Word” also (but not all of it), he used what he knew against Jesus, but Jesus conquered him with “The Word” he does not know; He is the Word himself.
Satan is active when you’re active; he does not have issues with you as long as you remain cold, lukewarm, and passive and not on fire.
You see, he was badly affected during Jesus’ 40 days prayer and fasting, all of Hell was bombarded and they knew someone had arrived to cause the ultimate havoc.
I can imagine Satan telling his cohorts, “I thought Elijah’s prayer was the height of it all, but this is bigger than us “. He tried to trap Jesus by all means, but when the prince of this world came; He had nothing to find.
The day you begin to raise your voice against the devil in boldness, then you know you’re a threat to him, and he is both offensive and defensive; but we are not ignorant of his devices, he does not have new strategies; he still uses same old tricks; we know how to fix him with the Word of God active and alive in and through us. (2 Corinthians 2: 11)
Much work must be done in prayer and spiritual alertness any time you receive a word from God. The devil does not waste time or delay a second to steal and distract when people are being taught the word.
Be ready at all times to resist the devil, be active always against his devices and he will flee from.
DECLARATION
The word of God is rooted and grounded in me; Satan has no place or right in my business; I am a master over him and I place him where he belongs; he’s a defeated foe and I am superior to him because of Christ in me. Halleluyah!!!
