Enough is enough!

Luke 9:2-5 The Message (MSG)

Jesus now called the Twelve and gave them authority and power to deal with all the demons and cure diseases. He commissioned them to preach the news of God’s kingdom and heal the sick.

The devil responds to a higher authority.  Prayer includes confronting the devil.   The devil knows that we have authority over him; however, he trembles when we know it. 

 

Luke 10:17 (NLT)

17 When the seventy-two disciples returned, they joyfully reported to him, “Lord, even the demons obey us when we use your name!”

2 Corinthians 10:3-5 (NLT)

3 We are human, but we don’t wage war as humans do. 

4 We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments. 

5 We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ.

A stronghold is a lie that gains momentum.  There has to be a group of believers who tell the devil enough is enough.  We must release the name of Jesus.  

Philippians 2:9-10 (NLT)

9 Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor
    and gave him the name above all other names,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,

    in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
