Today’s Reading:
Ephesians 6
Romans 8
Job 22
Now my beloved ones, I have saved these most important truths for last: Be supernaturally infused with strength through your life-union with the Lord Jesus. Stand victorious with the force of his explosive power flowing in and through you. Put on God’s complete set of armor provided for us, so that you will be protected as you fight against the evil strategies of the accuser! Your hand-to-hand combat is not with human beings, but with the highest principalities and authorities operating in rebellion under the heavenly realms. For they are a powerful class of demon-gods and evil spirits that hold this dark world in bondage. Because of this, you must wear all the armor that God provides so you’re protected as you confront the slanderer, for you are destined for all things and will rise victorious.
Ephesians 6:10-13 TPT
The Spirit of the Living God says,
Lay your weapons down at My feet. Put on the full armor of God. Put on holiness, and distinguish yourself from the enemy. The weapons of your warfare are not carnal, but they are mighty for the taking down of strongholds. Leave the old rhetoric behind. Leave the old arguments and tactics behind. Advance in the full armor of God in perfect peace, in strength, in boldness, in confidence. Advance with the attitude of an heir. Advance with the mindset of the rightful property owner who is going out to evict squatters.
For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, “Abba! Father!” The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God.
Romans 8:14-19 NASB1995
Don’t go out in timidity. Don’t go out in fear. Go out as an heir. Go about as the rightful son against whom the enemy has trespassed. This is the mindset you will need to cast out demons. This is the posture and frame from which you are to assert your right, your authority against wickedness in the land. It has no legal right to be here once you assert your right. They have been operating with squatter’s rights, because believers have not lifted their voices in opposition. Heirs have not assumed their own authority — that which is their birthright — and gone out to eject and remove these squatting spirits that are tormenting your children, that are destroying families with drugs and alcohol, abuse and more. I’m calling on the heirs to put on the full armor of God, put on the authority you have in Me as heirs, and begin evicting the enemy. Begin speaking to demonic residents that they have no place in your family, no place on your property. They have no place in your community. And watch how the nation is cleansed.
You will also decree a thing, and it will be established for you; And light will shine on your ways. When you are cast down, you will speak with confidence, And the humble person He will save. He will deliver one who is not innocent, And he will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands.
Job 22:28-30 NASB1995
It’s time for My heirs to arise and walk forward in boldness. Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. This is a season of becoming familiar with and very comfortable with wearing and asserting the authority I have given you. It’s time to take back your family. It’s time to take back the land. This is war.
How to Respond
- Lay down your familiar weapons at the Lord’s feet. Daily put on the full armor of God.
- Pray, Holy Spirit teach me how to operate in the authority that has been given to me by Jesus. Help me to walk in boldness and to use Your words from scripture and the words you put in my mouth to evict darkness from every corner of society starting with my family.
- Declare, I will decide and decree a thing and it will be established for me. And the light of God’s favor will shine upon my ways. I will speak with confidence no matter how I feel, and the Lord will deliver even those who are not innocent because of the cleanness of my hands.
- Decree, I will not tolerate torment, darkness or evil in my family or community. I will rise up in my role as a joint-heir with Jesus. I will put on the full armor of God daily, and I will destroy the works of the enemy by evicting them from my family, property, workplace, community and government. I will evict them from these places and from every place the Lord sends me, and they will flee.
