Summary
The central message is that because every part of a believer has been purchased by the blood of Jesus Christ, the devil has no right to occupy any area of our lives, mind, or body. Believers must take a strong, assertive position of faith, demanding justice and reclaiming what belongs to God. This requires total surrender, as God will only work in areas we willingly allow Him to enter.
Outline
The message in plain words, in the order it unfolds. Select a time to jump the video to that moment.
Glorifying God with every part of our livesEvery part of us has been bought with the blood of Jesus Christ, meaning we are supposed to glorify God with our tongue, eyes, mind, and emotions without letting the devil occupy any room.
Asking God for justice against the enemyLike the persistent widow seeking justice, we must go to God and ask Him to help drive out the enemy who has occupied areas of our lives.
Recognizing the devil has no right to usWe are not asking God for a favor to get back what belongs to Him; we are simply recognizing that the devil has no right to any part of us.
Every good and perfect gift comes from GodBecause God is a loving father, anything in our life that is not good and perfect did not come from above, but from the devil.
Determined to drive the devil outWe must take a strong position and be determined to drive the devil out of every area where he has occupied that which does not belong to him.
God's blessing on every part of your lifeGod's blessing is meant to be upon your life, body, children, business, and finances, and if the devil takes any area, you must get it back.
Dealing with sickness and the thorn in the fleshEven when God allows a thorn in the flesh like Paul experienced, we must pray to get it out or trust God to use it to give us greater grace.
Turning evil into something goodWe must pray according to Romans 8:28 that God converts any evil done to us into something so good that we would not have had otherwise.Romans 8:28
God is already on your sideIt is an insult to ask God to be on your side against the devil because He is already on your side.
The barrier of unsurrendered areasGod often cannot work because we keep our own ambitions and fail to give ourselves totally to Him.
Surrendering your total life to GodWhen you surrender your total life, future, ambitions, and body to God, He will not allow the devil to get an advantage and will make everything work for your good.
Praying until you get an answerLike Paul praying persistently with his thorn in the flesh, we must pray until we receive an answer or greater grace from God.
