Naughty or Nice

12-8-2009
I was talking with a co-worker today and we touched on the subject of anger doubt and disbelief. I was saying come on now, with it being the Holiday season you don’t want to let these spirits rest rule & abide within your life/home. Not just this season but period. As we spoke and I began to minister I jokingly made the comparison of Satan to Santa Clause. As I spoke those words it hit me that it was not only true but spirit lead. I said that just as the world says Santa likes to slide down the chimney or through a cracked window/door, so does Satan. His sack is not filled with glee and toys for the girls & boys but pain, suffering, anger, lust, fornication, bad health, broken marriages, broken homes, stress, and trouble at work & school. You name it he has it. “Whenever you see loss, death, and destruction you know that the enemy is at work.”
John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.
Milk & Cookies
Just like in the books and on TV, the parents lure Santa with cookies and milk to welcome him in. You have to ask your self are you setting out snacks for the enemy to stop by and visit your domain or work place. Ephesians 6:12 “principalities, ... powers, ... rulers of the darkness of this world, … spiritual wickedness (or wicked spirits) in high places.
EXAMPLES: First: opening a spiritual door that allows the evil spirit to come in. –Watch what you are involved in! You activities can easily open the door your home for spiritual ware far-SMOKING, DRUG Abuse, Porn, Drinking things of this nature.
Second: someone with a bad spirit carried the demon into the house. They came into the house and brought the spirit with them.— Be mindful of those that enter your home. You can be under attack from the enemy just by association
Third: Satan has set an assignment against the house. You can by sin or a certain lifestyle allow an opening for the enemy to come into your house. It seems at times that the more we try to do right in the Lord the more things seem to go wrong. We have to look at the bigger picture and see it as a spiritual war and take a stand! Pray over your children your home your vehicle even your job & friendships “PRAY over Everything”


As we pray over our home and families we began to seal off the entrance for Satan. Now as the prayers are going up its like smoke up the chimney, so now the enemy cannot slide down that way, and we began to pray over the doors and windows and rooms just praying the blood over your entire dwelling, which belongs to you and not him. 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 “(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalte itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;”

Be mindful of the tricks and devices of the enemy. Stay in prayer knowing that noting not of joy and peace is not of CHRIST THE KING!!!
