Where God’s Spirit Is, Satan Can Not Manifest
Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. Freedom from what? Freedom from habitual sin, freedom from yourself as far as self infliction goes when you yield to inordinate desires. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, Satan is not. So having the presence of the Lord in our lives on a regular basis is key. To do this, discipline and self-control must be at the forefront of our actions, (maturity in Christ is the prerequisite). The Spirit of God brings freedom from agitating spirits and moral conflicts that we deal with everyday. The more time spent with the Lord alone in prayer, the more of His presence will be on you. If that presence of God is strong enough on you, people will sense it when you go outside. They won’t know exactly what it is about you but that evil spirit riding on their shoulder will know it’s God, and it won’t manifest against you because of God’s presence. The Lord is that Spirit, and He is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). Sooner or later the scriptures point to Jesus even in the old testament He was prophesied about and there are many references about his coming to Earth. He is the key to unlocking all forms of freedom in this jacked up world. When He is Lord of our lives, that means He’s steering the boat you’re just the boat, not the true captain of your ship. The Spirit of Truth will always lead us to freedom on every level of life. Victorious living is attainable because you have the opportunity to live above the evil in this world (John 17:15).
