Mark 9:14-29

The devilÕs assignment is to take an opposite stand against every stand that is established in your life by God. Jesus came to give life and to give it more abundantly, but the devil is here on earth to take away that life given by Jesus. He is here to take it by robbery, forgery and all means of thievery. He is the chief among stubborn and he will not give up concerning his assignments on earth. The devil will always be around until the time comes for him to be bounded. As a result, he never stops striking at his targets. When Jesus was led by the spirit into the wilderness, he came up with his temptation but labored. Yet in his laboring, he did not give up and the Bible testifies to it in Luke 4:13, ÒNow when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from Him until an opportune time.Ó The devil is always coming back because there is no giving up in his dictionary. His constant aim is to get the people of God. As a believer, you have to master the chosen words of the Master for there to be a permanent termination of any kind of affliction. Jesus demonstrated such when He commanded the unclean spirit out of the son that his disciples could not help. Knowing how the devil operates, JesusÕ command did not leave room for the second coming or the return of the unclean spirit. Mark 9:25, ÒWhen Jesus saw that the people came running together, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, ÒDeaf and dumb spirit, I command you, come out of him and enter him no more!Ó If you have gain a clear understanding of JesusÕ command in this verse, do not keep it in the back of your pocket when you take a stand against any form of affliction. Jesus commanded that unclean spirit by ordering it to come out of him and enter him no more. It is not enough for you to command the stubborn devil by just saying Òcome out of himÓ. You must back up your command by saying that he should not enter anymore. Do not operate in half understanding or else the devil will overcome you.
