Matthew 10:1-7

Jesus summoned his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits with power to cast them out and to cure all kinds of diseases and sickness.

Have you ever done it? Have you ever cast an evil spirit away? This kind of language mss as is people in America and Europe very uncomfortable. Many have not encountered spirits as we do in the motherland. Or should I say they encounter spirits with a different side of the brain. The beauty of having lived in both Africa and ‘The West’ is that these worlds need not be like water and oil.

In Africa we talk about people who have been “entered” and overpowered by spirits. We also encounter people who have been delivered. Deliverance is hard work, it never stops. Indeed that beautiful scripture that says when a demon is delivered it goes around and collects other demons and come back stronger thus the end result is the person is worse off at the end has been known to be true. Here is the deal, don’t be scared, your protection in the spiritual warfare is God. If we keep our engagement with God we will be fine. Yes we will fall here and there but knowing that we are anointed gives us strength to get up and fight the demon. I think it is a huge blessing knowing the demons that roam around in your family. That gives us strength to fight on.

Anyway just know this my fellow Americans. A prescription pill is good (within reason) but some things need a lot of prayer and fasting. Today become a prayer warrior and cast ungodly things OUT in Jesus Name!
