THE ENEMY IN-A-ME
Christ when we harden our hearts to interpretation that doesn’t t our views
just like the Jews who cannot accept Jesus as the Son of God.
It's important that you understand what I’m saying about demons being
disembodied spirits because part of the curse of demons is to have all sorts
of passions and desires and no body to work them through. Demons are
cursed to wander in dry places, uninhabited places, places with no life, places
of darkness, and they go to and fro throughout the whole earth looking for
places (bodies) where they can ful ll their lust and passions through.
Disembodied spirits have the curse of having all types of desires and
cravings and appetites that cannot be ful lled, they need a medium or mold
of expression, they need a body. Didn’t Jesus say, “That when a bad spirit is
gone out of a man, it wanders through dry places in search of rest (looking
for someone to possess) and does not nd any. And when it doesn’t nd
anyone, it says to itself, I will go back to the house where I used to live. So it
goes back and nds the house empty, clean, and all xed up. Then it goes
out and brings along seven other spirits even worse than itself, and they
come and live there. So when it is all over, that person is in worse shape than
at the beginning.” [Matthew 12:43-45]
This is what Jesus was teaching Simon Peter when he said, “Simon, Satan,
has desired to have you that he may sift you as wheat, he wants to divide
you as wheat is divided from the chaff, that part which is no good. He wants
to turn you from what you know is good.” [Luke 22:31] He has looked upon
you with lust and with cravings and with longings. Nobody knows like a man
what it's like to look at somebody with a desire to have. To just stand over in
a corner and just fantasize, to imagine what you would do if you had the
opportunity. Well, while you were looking at somebody, he was looking at
you. He has desired to have you, to ll you, to satisfy his cravings through
you, to use your body, your lust, and your passions. To work through the
broken places of your childhood, so that he may ful ll his ravenous desires.
He desires to have you. He is after you. That he might sift you as wheat to
turn your heart to go after other gods. He says but I cannot sift you as wheat
Christ is the Healer
