YOUR CASE IS DIFFERENT
“A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.”
Psalm 91:7 (KJV)
Have you noticed that occultism is very rampant these days? Even little children are going into occultism because they are introducing it in primary and secondary schools.
It is very important, therefore, that you understand and exercise your authority as a believer in Christ. If you don’t want them to manipulate your destiny, you must function from your position of authority. You are of a higher order than demonic spirits. If they drink blood, you drink blood also. You drink the blood of Jesus Christ, which is superior blood.
No matter their activities, you should never be afraid. Whatever the enemy is using to manipulate what God said about your life will never stand. Every Word of God concerning you will be fulfilled.
At times, it looks as if things are slowed down or delayed. That doesn’t mean that God is not working. He is at work. He is in a conference on your behalf. Whatever God does, He does it well. David said: “I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread” (Psalm 37:25 KJV). Never!
The other day, Jesus was praying when He was going to the cross. He said: “I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth” (John 17:15-17 KJV).
In other words, separate them! Build a hedge around them! Let it be known that their case is different. The world is headed for corruption but it will not affect you. You will walk upon circumstances. You will walk upon situations. You will walk upon challenges and manipulations of the enemy. When the dust is settled down, you will still be standing. Your testimony is guaranteed.
