Ridiculing satan
CANCELING LEGAL GROUND
I can’t stand satan as much as the next Christian. And he has lost
to Jesus. I love rubbing that in real good to him. Nevertheless, he is
the “god of this world’s system.” I don’t like it anymore than you. We
can see from scripture that every throne (including satan’s) is es­
tablished by Jesus in Colossians 1:15­17. Satan serves a purpose
by causing people to choose or reject Christ. His temporary rule will
come to a violent end when Jesus comes. In Jude 9 we read “But
even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil
about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring a slanderous accu­
sation against him, but said, ‘the Lord rebuke you!’” Why was Mi­
chael respectful to such an evil being? The reason is because Mi­
chael recognized his authority as being ultimately from God. Mi­
chael honored satan’s office of authority while not honoring satan
as an individual. We can also come under an attack, bringing legal
ground unto ourselves, by being disrespectful of satan’s office.
Have you ever heard someone making fun of satan or calling him
disrespectful names? The Bible condemns “slandering celestial
beings.” Authority figures are also those that hold offices of kings
and presidents as well as spiritual authority figures like pastors and
priests. We must be careful to not make fun of authority figures.
This can give access to the enemy. Even though we may not agree
with them, and they may be in the wrong. We can disagree with
them and still show respect for their office. This would also apply to
our elders, a husband of a home, and our parents. They are all
authority figures. I have given you some ways that legal ground can
gain access to someone’s life. Now let’s look at how to cancel it.
Breaking the hedge
In Job 1:9­11 we read how the blood caused a hedge of protection
around Job, his family, and all he owned. This is a powerful picture
of what can happen by the blood being applied to our lives and
homes. We must be very careful about what we allow in our homes.
Things we watch on television or movies we bring in can release
demons. Also, anything that is legal ground for demons that we
bring in the home. Even visiting people can break the hedge. There
was a young person that came over my house just the other day.
This individual was in wicca at one time. I met her for the first time,
and she is now an on fire Christian. The only problem is, she has
never been delivered. We shook hands upon being introduced and
she left shortly later. I felt such a heaviness on me afterward. I was
trying to write parts of this book at the time. I figured it was simply
an attack. I went to bed that night and was attacked throughout the
night by demons. The next day I was mad. I asked the Lord what
was going on and he showed me how demons had come in from
