A Response
To
"I abhor the devil and don't understand why I still dance with
demons. Pray for me!"
Abiding Under the Shadow of the
Almighty
 Perhaps there are some of you who are struggling with
the same issue as part of your personal spiritual warfare, therefore I
decided to publish a personal experience I had years back. I hope that
by sharing this experience, those who are struggling in these areas will
make a decision to jump off the fence onto the side of the Lord. I would
think that some of us may find ourselves dancing with devils because we
are still holding on to or trusting in the arm of the flesh. The flesh
I'm speaking of is the fallen nature that we all have to deal with as
Christians. The flesh lusts against the Spirit and the Spirit against
the flesh and this is a very real struggle and a part of our daily
spiritual warfare. If you are concerned about your spiritual condition,
then the Lord is working in your heart and is drawing you to Him. Listen
to the sweet voice of the Lord Who said,
Isa 30:21
"And thine ears shall hear a word
behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the
right hand, and when ye turn to the left."
I am
going to share an experience I had some years ago as part of an outreach
for Christ. Through this Christian program of dedicating a year for
Christ, I relocated to another state for that year and shared a room
with another Christian female. One night she was sitting up in her bed
reading a book as I fell into a deep sleep. Soon after, my sleep was
abruptly interrupted by an overwhelming presence of evil and heavy
oppression that I could not speak or lift myself up from my bed. I was
now aware of my friend still sitting up in her bed, however she was
unable to assist me in my struggle. This evil spirit had a message for
me and vehemently uttered the words "I HATE YOU!" So intense was its
hate that I could never do this moment justice in an imitation of this
experience, but I understood without a doubt the entity's hate for God
and His people. Struggling for a few seconds more and praying in my
heart, I was able to speak the name of Jesus Christ and rebuke the evil
spirit and immediately I was released from its hold. However the aura in
the room continued to permeate with the presence of evil. We called
other Christians to come to our house and pray with us. As we held
hands, we quoted Scripture and prayed for over an hour until this
presence dissipated into thin air. We knew the precise moment it left,
as well as our struggle against thoughts of fear and intimidation. This
is what I call "the roar of the lion" whose intention was to intimidate
us and send us running home. This experience did not reoccur for the
remainder of the year.
Let's think about it for a moment. Why dance with devils in a
literal or figurative sense? They hate you and will lead you away from
the power and glory of God. Trust in the goodness of God and He will
lead you to victory and reward you in heaven. Do you think you need the
devil to fulfill your needs? "But seek ye first
the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be
added unto you" (Matt. 6:33). Sometimes the devil's
stronghold is maintained by our fears, instead, do what you know is
right in your heart and the peace of God will safeguard your heart and
mind. Jesus Christ said,
Joh 10:10 "The thief cometh not, but for to
steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life,
and that they might have it more abundantly."
Psalm 91 is a very powerful psalm that is filled with the promises
of God to those who "abide under the shadow of the Almighty." Fill your
heart and mind with the promises of God and you will see the power of
God at work in your life.
"Resist the devil and he will flee" (James 4:7).
Abiding under the shadow of the Almighty is
to abide in Christ.
