CASTING OUT DEMONS AND THE SPIRIT OF JEZEBEL 

 I got caught up in some emotional reactivity today. Valid strong emotions but when I allowed them to drown out the still, small voice ready to guide me to a more powerful and wise response, I approached the gateway of regret. Like a flash of golden light twice today I was pulled back and able to boldly say what needed to be said, the truth, without lowering myself through that gateway. No regrets about calling out evil by its name. That was the one foot ready to go down. And that was enough to defend what is rightfully mine. Jesus called the demons by their names when casting them out.  And so I did. Demons and dark attachments are clever.  They try to explain themselves and justify their actions.  They attack.  They are cunning and try to make you think they know you.  Don't succumb to playing their game.  Do not respond.  They want to engage you and continue to establish a stronghold.  With your words you can cast them out.  Then shake the dirt off your feet and move on. Demonic presence is born of fear, and "perfect love casts out fear."  Our voices are supremely powerful, whether singing, toning, speaking or writing... Even the unspoken voice of our thoughts. And so it is. ~ Selah ~
