Prayer 2021 - March 19 - Don't Let the Devil Back Inside

Scripture For Today:

1 Corinthians 7:5

“Do not deprive each other except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.”

Don’t Let the Devil Back Inside

In Matthew 12:43-44, Jesus said, “When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walks through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he finds it empty, swept and garnished.” 

The bible is telling us in this verse that when an unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walks through dry places seeking rest. But he is not finding any other place he can rest. So the evil spirit returns to the body he was cast out of and finds it clean and, look at this – empty!

There is a scriptural principle involved in this verse. The devil is going to try and get back in again if he can. Even in the case of sickness and disease. That is one reason many people are healed – sometimes a miracle healing – and then relapse the same day or a few days later. Because the devil has been cast out and can’t find anywhere else to move into. So he returns to see if he can weasel his way back into the persons body. He will cause some symptom to pop up and see if the person will say something like, “Well, I guess I didn’t get my healing after all. That problem is still here.”

You have to stand your ground against him with the Word. YOU will be responsible for it. Not your preacher, not your wife, not your husband, not your momma or daddy. YOU. Period. 

Now, if you have young child, YES, as a parent, YOU can take a stand against it. I’m talking here mainly about people who should know better – but don’t. Amen.

The reason I keep harping on this aspect of prayer is because there are no new tricks the devil has come up with. He is still using the same tactics he was using in Jesus day and before that. Amen. These are fundamental spiritual truths you must learn how to operate by. Day in and day out. 

Our own wrong thinking defeats ourselves most of the time. The devil doesn’t defeat us – we defeat ourselves. That is why it is so important for people to be taught the Word of God and learn how to pray for themselves and stand in faith themselves.
