🍞 Manna for Meditation 57

💞Dear God’s beloved Praying Priests, shalom!

💎"Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me." (Rev 3:20, TLV)

💎"You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lordyour God, am a jealous God,punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments." (Exo 20:4-6)

Yeshua is now standing at our door and knocking. He anticipates us to hear His knocking and His voice calling us to open the door. He wants us to open the front door for Him, welcome Him with our arms wide open, and usher Him joyously into our home to dine with Him and enjoy fellowshipping with Him! When we open the door to Yeshua, we must shut the door to Satan.

Satan enslaves the people of God with the poisonous root of sin and its impact even pass down to our family and generations. We need to deal with sin seriously so that Satan has no chance to swoop in on us. This is also why wherever the Praying Priests of BBPN gather, we always spend time confessing our sins before partaking the Holy Communion to close every door and windows to Satan.

Christians can be demonised but not demon possessed. Satan influences and attacks the people of God with temptation, accusation, deception, lying and control.

💎 “Therefore submit to God. But resist the devil and he will flee from you.” (Jas 4:7, TLV)

Let us review the open doors that we may open to the enemy in our life, family, workplace, church, community, social group and nation. First, submit to God and confess our sins, and then do the identificational repentance prayer. In the name of Yeshua, renounce all that is related to the devil, break the curse, and demolish all strongholds including the generational one. Lastly, pray to be filled with the Holy Spirit and release the glory and presence of God!
