Chapter One

Do not go out looking for the enemy until you know who the enemy is that needs to be attacked. Let us study this enemy first. We will need to find out who is our number one enemy because the enemy who stands in the way of God's will, must be taken care of first and it must die. Christ can fill the empty place and start His good works as you begin to fight the good fight of faith with Him. The battle is not yours, it's the LORD's. So let me tell you who the number one enemy is. Yes, you are your number one enemy, which is the enemy in you that wants to walk with the flesh and do everything the way it wants to. Make no mistake about it, it's not your thing, and you cannot do what you want to or sock it to whoever you want to. You must obey God and die to yourself daily. Then we must know the power of submitting ourselves unto God and to resisting Beelz ebub, the chief of the evil spirits (the devil). Titus 2: 11-12 for the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. Salvation is available to all on the basis of faith in Christ and what He did at the cross. 12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts tells us that it can be done. We should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world. This can only be done by the Believer making the Cross the object of his or her faith which gives the Holy Spirit latitude to work in our lives bringing about the graces of God.

Titus 3:2 to speak evil of no man refers to the employment of the principle of grace, which excludes all violence of thoughts, languages, or actions, to be no brawlers, don't be contentious, but gentle as a fruit of the spirit [Gal. 5:22-23] gives us the fruits of the spirit, showing all meekness unto all men.

This portrays the inner grace of the soul, which can only be brought about in the life of the Believer by the Holy Spirit. He does these things strictly on the premise our faith in Christ and the finished work at the Cross. So with that being said here are some areas in which demon spirits work and move in the life of anyone that will let them operate in them. The first area is selfishness and wrongful use of pride, thinking it's about you, bitterness, jealousy, envy, lying, craftiness, deceitfulness, and lust. If any of these actions are working in you, they will tell you that you need to work harder on your development with the Holy Spirit to kill that enemy that is still at work in you. The enemy is trying to lead you away from the things of God and use you for his evil deeds. It makes you look like an undercover Christian and you will be an unproductive "aint", not a Saint of God.

But in Christ you can overcome the evil spirit that is within you, and you do not have to fake it to make it with Christ. God has said you do not have to act like you are obeying His word and walk by faith and in love because he knows us all. According to James 1:22 He commands us to be doers of His word and not just hearers only deceiving ourselves. Because God has already worked it all out and we are in the middle of the picture that is already painted. Now the truth is in your heart not in your head knowledge. God has set before you life or death and you must choose and remember the books are opened to the truth when it comes to you and God. See, once a picture is painted, it has captured all the words within the picture and only the author can tell you if his painting is finished or not. That's why Jesus Christ is the author and finisher of our faith. The painter is the only one who will truly know all he sees in the picture that you are in, once it has been painted you must look to the painter (Christ).

This means you must seek out the painter to get some understanding and knowledge about you, once the painting has been done. The painter will tell you more and more once you get to know him in a personal way and you will get his insight about what he sees in you. The painter knows you and has a perfect photo of you on his file. Roman 12:1-3 I beseech you therefore, brethren by the Mercies of God that you present your bodies a Living sacrifice holy, acceptable unto God which is your reasonable service 2 And be not conformed to this world but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable, and perfect, Will of God. 3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God has dealt to every man the measure of Faith this is given by the Holy Spirit at conversion. The definition of worldly is devoted to this world, and its pursuits, rather than spiritual affairs, so they are worldly wise possessing a practical and often shrewd understanding of human affairs which makes them worldly minded devoted to or engrossed in worldly interests.

Your name is in His book. You must stop being so worldly. You must just do all you can to find out how you look in His sight, and you must strive to keep that good look at all times. Now after all has been said and done you're a child of the King and your name has been changed to "whosoever." Your life is in Christ and the enemy that was in you is dead, and you now have the power of God at work in you, on you, and with you, in Jesus name.

You must also know this Jesus is the author and finisher of your faith. And your faith must be tested so you will know that it is working for you. Whatever tries to come against you will not win, because you already...
