Why We Must Resist Unclean Spirits

Unclean spirits and strange personalities are Satan’s evil agents sent to deceive and create doubt about the existence, purpose and goodness of God.

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: (9) Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.  (10) But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you (1 Peter 5:8-10 KJV)

​Remember, demons are real, powerful, intelligent and crafty; but they can be resisted by those who have the power and authority from God.

Indeed, demons can and must be resisted steadfast in the faith by the people of God. Why then should we resist unclean spirits? We should because if we don’t subdue them because;

1. Unclean spirit will accuse and trouble you with guilt; because they have a database on you (Zechariah 5:5-11¹); the devil is an accuser of the brethren (Revelations 12:10)
2. They hide behind causes to steal, kill, and destroy your righteousness, peace, joy in the Holy Ghost. They will destroy your faith, hope and love. When unclean spirits gain access to your life they will attack your salvation, prosperity and health. They will attack your spirit, soul, body, relationships and work. (John 10:9-10²)
3. Unclean spirits enter in to destroy you. Luke 11:22-26³ teaches that when unclean spirits enter into a man his state deteriorate. They entered into Judas and eventually destroyed him. (Luke 22:3⁴; John 13:27⁵)
4. They fill your heart and mind with unclean thoughts:  Acts 5:1-4⁶ shows the end of Ananias when he allowed unclean spirits in his life.
5. An unclean spirit can marry you and or your children as they choose (Genesis 6:1-2⁷)
6. They devour, afflict, and bind you with sicknesses, and other conditions (1 Peter 5:8-10; Luke 13: 16)
7. Unclean spirits can fill you with evil teachings and doctrines of devils (1 Timothy 4:1-5⁸; Revelation 2:20⁹)
8. They hinder, withstand and provoke you to disobey God.
9. Demons will demand worship

We must arise and resist unclean spirits. You can, so arise and don’t allow unclean spirits to destroy your beautiful life.

God bless you

I love you!

1. Zechariah 5:5-11 (KJV): Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth. And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This is their resemblance through all the earth. And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah. And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof. Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heaven. Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah? And he said unto me, To build it an house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base. ↩︎
2. John 10:9-10 (KJV): I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. ↩︎
3. Luke 11:22-26 (KJV): But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils. He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth. When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out. And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. ↩︎

6. Acts 5:1-4 (KJV): But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles’ feet. But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. ↩︎
7. Genesis 6:1-2 (KJV): And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. ↩︎
8. 1 Timothy 4:1-5 (KJV): Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. ↩︎
9. Revelation 2:20 (KJV): Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. ↩︎
