3 Levels of demonic attack

Written by,

Robert Johnson

THE 3 Levels of demonic attack – demons are not people they are spirits sent from Satan a direct descendent of Lucifer the dragon described in revelations chapter 12 –

  1. The mind – why does Satan want you mind?

God calls us to “be alert and of sober mind,” watching out for the schemes of the devil who “(prowls) around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour” (1 Peter 5:8). The devil wants to devour our lives, keeping us from the joy of living in a relationship with Jesus.

Romans 7:25

“25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.”

Thoughts begin in the mind – these thoughts come from either two places – good or evil!
Remember the commercial where the gentleman had and Angel on his right shoulder whispering in his ear then on the left shoulder was a demon with Pitchford whispering negative thoughts –

Before anything reaches our emotions/heart it must start with the mind –

Here’s the six reasons the enemy desires your mind

  1. For you to doubt God
  2. For you to live in fear
  3. For you to feel insecure
  4. For you to avoid the church
  5. For you to be led astray
  6. For you to fail

Each one of these 6 has and effect on the mind leading to mind control –

There is a major reason that the enemy desires that you walk in one or all of the above!

James 1:8 KJV

8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways

THE EMOTIONS/THE HEART/THE EMOTIONS ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE – WHY IS IT THAT SATAN WANT YOUR HEART/EMOTIONS

Then He told them, “No one can enter a strong man’s house without first tying him up. Then he can plunder the strong man’s house” (Mark 3:27).

I want to focus on tying up the strong man!

Tying in this text can be seen as having complete control of one’s mind!!!

There is a danger to the heart –

Here’s what God says in His word!

Proverbs 4:20-27 KJV

Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.

The last part of the text should the danger of allowing Satan to control your mind –

Controlling the mind leads to binding your heart/emotions causes the mouth to relay what has been placed in the emotions –

PROVERBS 18:21 KJV “Death and life [are] in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.”

Satan desires us to curse God by our actions

ONE OF THE BEST EXAMPLES COMES FROM THE BOOK OF JOB –

—————————————————————————-

Job almost lost his mind – He was a very rich man
He gets news the Old Testament Wall-street has just crashed – he lost everything!!!

He receives more bad news – all his children receive COVID – 19 and pass – he is about to loose it!!!

In the midst of everything his wife tells him to curse God and die – The second attack on his body – he has broken out in boils all over his body!

None of theses attacks work on Jobs mind –

Job chapter 1:20-22 KJV

20 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,

21 And said, Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.

22 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.

IN ALL THAT HE KEPT HIS MIND BY KEEPING HIS INTEGRITY!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

So what rocked Jobs mind that played on his heart/emotions that would make him feel that God had left him?

The word of is not hard – the way of a transgressor is hard!

Job chapter 2:11-13 KJV

THE LOST OF HIS RICHES THE LOST HIS CHILDREN IN ALL THAT HE HELD TO HIS INTEGRITY – At times “It’s and inside job!”

11 {Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him.}

12 And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.

13 {So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they saw that his grief was very great.}

Do you understand what a 7 Day of complete silence would to a person?

His mind has been bound up! His heart his emotions are out of control! Now Satan only needs him to become those 6 things we discussed in the beginning of where we began – Let’s go to chapter 3 – we must find the place where the demonic effects of Jobs friends are beginning to effect his heart/emotions-

Here”s what 7 days of demonic silence did to his emotions –

SON TIMES ITS BEST TO BE ALONE – TO FOCUS ON GODS WORD!!!

Job chapter 3

1 After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.

2 And Job spake, and said,

3 Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived.

4 Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it.

5 Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.

6 As for that night, let darkness seize upon it; let it not be joined unto the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the months.

7 Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein.

8 Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning.

9 Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light, but have none; neither let it see the dawning of the day:

10 Because it shut not up the doors of my mother’s womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes.

11 Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly?

12 Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck?

13 For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,

14 With kings and counsellors of the earth, which built desolate places for themselves;

15 Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver:

16 Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light.

17 There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest.

18 There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.

19 The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master.

20 Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul;

21 Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures;

22 Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?

23 Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?

24 For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters.

25 For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.

26 I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.

Blessings
