THE WOLF-DEMON DEFEATED
By Jessica Smith
A Dream Encounter from 2011
I’ve been a victim of demonic fear all my life. I’ve battled these demons since early childhood. My mother dealt with the same thing. Now my daughter. You see, it’s a generational demon. Yes, some demons like to stay in the family line. However, this particular wolf-demon never had access to my life until 2010. This was a very strong, and exceedingly wicked spirit of total destruction. This one was always waited at my door. I know, because I had many dreams of it prowling just outside the door, waiting for the opportunity to infiltrate my life, my home, my body, my mind, my family and my children. It did finally enter through my mother and my husband and through my own sin and lack of wisdom. I almost lost my mind with terror. I felt as if I would drop dead from fear. It was the hardest time of my life, but also the most powerful and cleansing. I sought God more than ever before. I completed a 15 day water only fast. I was delivered from multiple demons and illnesses. I had dreams and encounters with Jesus and angels, and through all this, discovered my true identity as a Daughter of the King, the theme of most of my artwork.
Below is a dream I had in 2011 of the demon I would face in 2018. I was zapped with the electricity of God at church and this demon was cast off/out of me.
DREAM…. PROTECT YOUR HOUSE!
"Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy..." (Luke 10:19) "Therefore, submit yourselves to God, resist the devil... and he WILL flee from you." (James 4:7) Demons will entreat us outright or in disguise for permission to access us. We must be alert and have the discernment to recognize them and forbid them. "Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles (deceitful cunning trickery) of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places." (Ephesians 6:11-12) "... and no wonder, for Satan himself disguises himself as an angel of light." (2 Corinthians 11:14) My husband called me on the phone and told me that his "FRIEND" who needed our help would come knocking on the door. He told me to let him in and take care of him. This "friend" was actually a demon. Because of my distractions with the cares of this world, I had no discernment, thus I agreed with my husband to open the door and allow the enemy to enter our house. The Head of the House is the Husband. (Ephesians 5:23) If the Husband is bound in sin, the House is in grave danger. My husband was bound in willful sin. The Enemy had opportunity & access to us through him. Being easily deceived, my husband sent the demon to our home. "... if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it." (Genesis 4:7) The Wife is secondary Protector of the House. If the Head fails, the Wife has authority in Christ (1 Cor. 7:16) to defend her home from demons & sin, though her job is much harder without her Husband. "Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of WOLVES, be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves." (Matthew 10:16) I was bound by the chock hold of anxiety, therefore my mind and heart were not guarded. I could have stopped that demon in its tracks, had I been right with God myself, but I was distracted. I was not alert. I was busy with the cares of this world. (Philippians 4:6-7) When both the Wife & Husband are bound... the house will be invaded by Satan, the unprotected CHILDREN WILL BECOME VICTIMS... AND THE HOUSE WILL FALL ! (Mark 3:25) "No one can enter a strong man's house & plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man... THEN INDEED, HE MAY PLUNDER HIS HOUSE." (Mark 3:27) "The Thief comes to STEAL, KILL & DESTROY!" (John 10:10) THE ENEMY BOUND US... THEN CAME KNOCKING The opportune time came for the demon to come knocking on the door. (Luke 4:13) I was busy upstairs. (symbolic of the mental distractions of anxiety). My visitors in the house (friends & relatives) alerted me that someone was knocking on my door. Because I was busy upstairs I gave the visitors permission to open the door and let the expected "Friend" inside the house. WE LET HIM IN... WE THOUGHT HE WAS A FRIEND When they opened the door, there was a young man standing there. He looked attractive, but mischievous. They let him in. As soon as this so-called "friend" (demon) entered, he started causing serious trouble among the people in the house. He had a bad attitude and a constant wicked smirk on his face. He clearly enjoyed the trouble he caused. He was causing strife and division. He was annoying and vexing people. The entire household was in disorder and agitation all caused by this "Man" that my husband sent us. THE DEMON WOULD NOT LEAVE The people in my house kept coming to me with complaints about him. I knew it was time to kick this trouble maker OUT! I had no idea how hard that would actually be. I had no idea that I just let in an exceedingly wicked spirit who quickly formed a stronghold and got a foothold. I commanded him to get out of my house. He absolutely refused. I couldn't make him leave. He continued causing more and more trouble until the condition of my house was really bad. I knew that if I didn't get him out, my house would continue to get worse until it was utterly destroyed. MY HUSBAND ABSENT FROM THE DREAM My husband was bound in chains of sin while the enemy was invading and destroying his home and stalking his wife and children. He was no where to be found the rest of my dream. The dream is a reflection of reality. I was left to fight alone for our home and children. Men of God, in Jesus name break those chains! Rise up in the strength of God and defend your homes and your beloved families! Retake the ground the enemy has stolen! Retrieve what is yours. THE QUEST TO FIND THE DEMON'S PATH TO MY HOUSE "Simon, Simon, Behold Satan has demanded permission to sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail, and you, once you have turned back to Me again, strengthen your brothers." (Luke 22: 31-32) I set out on the quest to find the demon's path to my house. I left my children in the care of those in my house. I couldn't just kick this Man (demon) out. I tried and failed. I knew that I had to go on a short quest to discover the path he took to get to our house. I had to dig deep, examine, search and explore my life and everything around me to discover how and why this trouble maker came to my door. My husband sending him was not the beginning of this demons journey to our house. My husband was just the demons opportunity and the door by which he entered. "Let us examine and probe our ways, and let us return to the LORD." (Lamentations 3:40) Suddenly, I was outside far from home on a sidewalk. I was at the place of the demons first step toward us. I began my journey back home as I traced all the demons foot prints toward my house. "Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith! Examine yourselves!" (2 Corinthians 13:5) DECEIVER WHO GAVE ME INSTRUCTIONS "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see if they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world." (1 John 4:1) On this journey I encountered a Man who claimed he could help me. He had the appearance of a homeless person. There was something not quite right about him. Although I was moving from faith to faith and coming out of my blind state of mind, I didn't have good discernment, or I would have walked past this deceiver. Instead I pitied him and received him for that reason. (2 Peter 2:1) HE GAVE ME A WOODEN BOARD The man told me about my quest. He told me that the man in my house had become a vicious and exceedingly wicked creature. He gave me a piece of wood to battle this demon. He told me to wave it at the creature in my house and that is how I would be victorious against it. I took the wood and left the man. I RAN HOME TO MY CHILDREN I was now very nervous about this creature in my house. I knew the trouble-making "Friend" had been exposed. He was no friend at all. The mask was now removed. He was already exposed and had no reason to remain veiled. He was manifested for who he really was... an exceedingly wicked spirit... a raging, vicious monster lose in my home. My kids were in that house. I ran home to get there as fast as I could. MY DILAPIDATED & HAUNTED HOUSE When I got back to my house, the condition was much worse. It had quickly deteriorated into a run-down, dilapidated shack. What was once a strong house had suddenly become brittle, weak and haunted all because this demon had entered it. There was no color to it. It was crooked and breaking. The house oozed fear because of the wicked spirit that dwelt within. It had become the abode of a demon... and we were trapped inside. DISEASE OF FEAR & DARKNESS The atmosphere inside was thick with the torment of fear. The disease of evil and decay had consumed my walls and the possessions of my home. Foul things crept within the textured darkness of this house. My so-called friends and family members who were babysitting my children had already fled from the demon, having forsaken my children to the terror this creepy house. I entered the house and embraced them. THE HORROR STORY BEGAN "I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock." (Acts 20:29) I grabbed my children close and held onto them. Now, it was just me and them... and the Demon. We were trapped within this haunt of shabby boards. Forsaken in the darkness of fear. No body to help me. The battle of survival commenced. The horror story began. THE EVIL CREATURE IN MY HOUSE In the darkness of my home I continually saw its face. I saw the unmasked demon. A wolf. He lurked and hunted in secret, for wolves are keener in darkness. (Habakkuk 1:8) He preyed upon us. He was no longer the annoying and vexing man in our face, but a lurking shadow... he was a deadly, terrifying Wolf. His mission was not to annoy me, but to utterly devour me and my children. Fear was the air in its lungs. Terror was the poison of its fangs. Torment was its aura. The demon in my dream looked incredibly similar to this & the other pictures I found, except the real demon was SCARIER! I couldn't find a picture on the entire internet that was as terrible as what I saw in the dream. IT WAS LIKE A WEREWOLF It had muscular arms and legs like a man, but hairy and beastly. Inch long, course dark hair covered its body. It could walk on two legs or crawl on all fours. It had a long dog-like snout, exceedingly wicked eyes and long, sharp, hungry, saliva dripping teeth. It thirsted for my blood. It had such strong arms and legs. Its entire body was incredibly muscular. It had very long, very sharp claws. THE MISSION OF THE DEMON It's desire and mission was to kill and utterly destroy me and my posterity forever. I didn't have time to come up with battle strategy. All I could do was survive the continuous and dangerous attacks from this Demon. The demonic creature was restless, tireless, determined, and filled with the strongest most devoted hatred for me that I've ever seen in my life. THE DEMON DWELT IN THE BASEMENT While in my home, this Wolf demons domain was my basement. It came up out of the basement only at very specific times and days. When it came up, we were filled with dark terror. In desperation I grabbed that little wooden board that the homeless man had given me. I remembered what he said and I clung to it. I waved this board at the demon and the demon seemed not to like it, and backed away from it back down into the basement, then I slammed the iron door shut and bolted it. There was no victory at all with the wood board, but I clung to it, because it was the only thing that made this demon go back to the basement. THE DEAD WOOD BOARD Long after the dream, the Lord taught me that the board was symbolic of two things: first anything and everything I used to distract and comfort me when the spirit of fear was attacking me. Food, entertainment, cozy TV, driving trips, running away, moving, shopping, smoking cigarettes (I quit in 2013), ect… literally whatever succeeded in getting me through the moment. This was the DEAD WOOD BOARD. It worked a little. It succeeded in helping only a little, but the fear situation got to a point where the board no longer worked in this way.
Another interpretation of the board is my dead religion. I believed in Jesus Christ, but I had the teachings of men rather than the power of God. I had confidence in the flesh, more than in Christ. I had way more faith in the empty words of man, rather than faith in who Jesus is and what He could do. I trusted in the workings of my religion, rather than the living Spirit of God. I had more fellowship with religion & books than I had with the person of Jesus Christ. I had forgotten who He truly was and how to trust in Him. My faith was as dead as the wood board I waved at the demon, yet it was effective enough to barely push the demon back into the "basement" without me being devoured by it. Like a Pharisee, I had a plank in my eye blinding me to truth of God’s mighty power and my identity in Him. I was blind to my authority as a child of God. "Having a form of godliness, but denying its power... from such, turn away." (2 Timothy 3:5) THE TREE OF LIFE Jesus is not a dead piece of wood, fashioned and formed by Man... He is the Living Tree of Life, He is the resurrection and the Life, He is the Way, the Truth and the Life! He is LIFE! I didn't need some dead wood, I needed Holy Spirit Oil dripping relationship with the Tree of Life. The living Tree was not cut, dead, fashioned and fruitless like the board that had been given to me by this deceiver. Be very careful who you listen to, take advice from and associate with. Cling to the living Word of Life and the Lord Jesus Christ Himself.... not man. A VISION OF FEEDING ON THE DEAD WOOD BOARD I was feeding on dead wood, instead of the living nectar of the Word who IS JESUS. It took a long time for me to understand the meaning of this strange piece of wood. God gave me a vivid vision/spiritual experience. I had just fallen asleep when the humming flutter of a bird against my cheek woke me up! I heard and physically felt it. Then I clearly saw in the spirit realm. I saw a brown speckled hummingbird trying desperately to feed on this exact same dead wood board. It was frantic for food. This bird was going wild on the dead wood board, but no matter how much effort it put forth, there was simply no nourishment, no life... nothing. It was desperate for strength to keep going. The thing about hummingbirds is the amount of energy they expend just in flying. They are excellent fliers. We are to fly like them as well as like the Eagle. But, we can not unless we partake of the Nectar of Life... not dead wood. Hummingbirds absolutely need to be fed or they will go into deep slumber or die. It is the same for the children of God. If we do not feed on Jesus every day... we will go into deep slumber or die. It doesn't matter how close you were to the Lord at any point in time. We need Him every day or we will regress. This was my condition. I was feeding on dead wood and desperate to make it. "These little birds are amazing. Their average weight is 1/8 ounce. Their wings beat between 40 and 80 beats/second. They breathe approximately 250 times per minute . Their heart rate is an unbelievable 250 beats/min at rest and 1200 beats/min while feeding. Finally, in flight they reach up to 63 miles/hour. Most researchers seem to accept the fact that those who migrate to the Caribbean Islands and Mexico cross the Gulf and Atlantic Ocean waters during a non-stop flight taking 18-20 hours. No wonder they require a lot of food for energy and strength!" ~ weekly wellness devotional FEED ON THE NECTAR OF LIFE God is the real nectar of life. Our lips should drip with nectar because of our constant partaking of Christ. (Song of Solomon 4:11) We must feed from Him. He is the living waters. He is the breath of life. He is the Manna from Heaven. His body and His blood are real food and drink. The Holy Spirit is the Oil of God. Many people think the oil is just for anointing... you seriously drink it as well. Because I was empty and exhausted of spiritual energy my faith was dried up. I had just enough faith to get the Wolf-Demon back down into the basement for a time, but not out of my house. Many people live these kind of lives, just burying the sin, the demons and the problems.... Newsflash, it will keep surfacing and the longer it is kept within, the stronger it gets and the more dangerous it grows... just like the demon in my basement. I had to get it out, but didn't realized any of the things I just explained. THE DEMON TRIED TO ALLURE MY CHILDREN The demon would peer out through a rectangular hole in the basement door. We always saw it's hungry eyes. From that place it continued to allure my children one at a time to the door and would work hard to convince them to open the door and let it out. When I noticed my children by the iron door listening to the evil whisperings of this foul spirit, I would run and snatch them up and scold them for going near the door, but they were toddlers and easy allured. Many times I grabbed them up just before the demon reached through the hole to drag them to the basement. I CALLED MY PASTOR "He who is a hired hand... who is not the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them." (John 10:12) I called my Pastor to come help me. He came, but he would not step foot even on my yard. He would not come in and help me. I watched from within the prison of my house as he walked past with some men from the church and said, "There is great evil in that house." Then he very quickly walked away. THE WORLD NEEDS HEROES "Behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves." (Luke 10:3) Many helpless people are locked inside longing deeply for someone to care enough to help... to be selfless and brave enough to embark on a mission to help them find deliverance and salvation... or maybe just to show that they are actually loved. Love sets the captives free. This world is found wanting for heroes. I FINALLY THREW OUT THE WOOD I continued to grow and move from faith to faith. Finally, I moved to a level of faith and understanding in Jesus Christ that caused me to take a good look at the piece of dead wood I had. I looked at it. Then I threw it OUT of my house! This was the beginning of the deliverance of my house and the bringing down of the stronghold of that demon. THE DUNGEON BENEATH MY HOUSE "If anyone comes to you, but doesn't bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house..." (2 John 1:10) "And Jesus said, 'Take heed that no man deceive you.'" (Matthew 24:4) The dead wood had been cast out of my life. The enemy's plan was in danger, so the devil sent another man to my house. This man came in the form of a concerned helper. He said he was sent to help me in my fight against the evil creature in my house. He took me by the hand and led me down into a dungeon in my house. I didn't know that I had a dungeon in my house. This was not the basement where the demon was bound at times. It was separate. I was led through corridors of bondage. The basement was damp and creepy. The man brought me into a room deep in the dungeon and showed me something. I REFUSED TO SUMMON EVIL He showed me a bound and sleeping demon which was chained as if dead beneath strange waters. Its appearance was that of a wild woman about 15 feet tall, with wild hair and ragged clothes. It was laying face up beneath chest deep water. It was bound in many, many chains. The man said to me, "This can help you defeat the creature loose in your house. This can help you in your battle." Then he raised his hand and caused a simulation of the rising of this demon. The demon rose up out of the water screaming like a banchee and raising its arms in the air. Exceeding wickedness emanated from this foul spirit. I was filled with the Spirit of God and commanded that demon to go back down to its chains and never wake from its sleep. Then I looked at the deceiver who led me to it and rebuked him. I told him that I would never summon that demon or release it from its chains! I commanded that man to leave my house and never come back. He left and never came back. NEVER RESURRECT THE OLD BONDAGES The devil will always try to trick you into using old bondages to deal with your problems. I don't know what that demon represented, but it could have been connected to many of the old sins I was bound to earlier in my life. I used to live the party life when I was a teenager and in my earliest twenties. I was rebellious. I ran from all my problems. Perhaps this was the demon the deceiver tried to get me to resurrect, I don't know, but the point is, we must never free demons that have been bound... ever! THE COUNTER ATTACK... DESPERATE TO DESTROY When I came back upstairs, the raging wolf lunged at me from cloaks of darkness. I quickly raised up my shield, which was the name of Jesus and stopped it inches short of tearing off my face. Like poisonous gas, fear was its aura and my hindrance. The frustrated wrath in his eyes was pure desire for my blood. It wanted nothing more than to sink its teeth into my heart and kill me, then my children. It came dangerously close many, many times all because I wouldn't press into a deep relationship with Jesus. Relationship with Christ is all your armor and weapons summed up. THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH ROARS "Not by might, or by power, but by MY SPIRIT!", says the LORD of Hosts!" (Zechariah 4:6) In that confrontation I moved to my next level of faith. While that Wolf-demon was inches from my face, I had a deep revelation of who Jesus Christ was in all His mighty glory and everlasting majesty. This drooling wolf was a toothless puppy compared to the Almighty Lion of the Tribe of Judah. I was now seeing the demon from the perspective of Jesus instead of my perspective. The mighty roar of the Lion is greater than the howl of the wolf.... the love of Jesus came into me and the the poison of fear dispersed like a fleeting vapor. FAITH RESURRECTED "Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, 'Why couldn’t we drive it out?' He replied, 'Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, "Move from here to there," and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.'” (Matthew 17:19-20) My faith had risen from the grave of fear. I understood that this demon could never come against God... and I was hidden in Him. I put my finger right in that demons face and said to it, "You may be stronger than me, but you are NOT stronger than JESUS!!" The demon took a step backward at that declaration, all the while viciously clawing and biting at me, but not able to touch me. This step it took backward was much more profound that any step backward it had ever taken in my house. With every step backward this demon lost more ground. With every step backward I took a step forward retaking my ground. With every step of faith I took forward in the mighty name of Jesus the demon lost another foothold. I rebuked it right into the basement. Again I was disappointed it went to the basement instead of out of the house, but I knew something was different this time, because the battle belonged to JESUS! This would be its last night in my house. We have work and fighting to do even though the battle belongs to the LORD! Remember that. A NEW DAY The dream transitioned. It was the next day. The Wolf demon came out raging again. The Holy Spirit was with me. The presence of God was strong. This day was different. This day was the day of my deliverance and that of my house. The Holy Spirit spoke to me. Today I would BIND that demon instead of rebuke it. BINDING THE DEMONS LEGS "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but are divinely powerful, for the pulling down of strongholds!" (2 Corinthians 10:3-4) Right before it lunged at me again, the Holy Spirit guided me to bind its legs. So I did. I pointed my finger at it and I said, "In the name of Jesus Christ, I bind your legs!" Suddenly a transparent strap-like shackle was slapped upon and wrapped around the demons ankles. It was wrapped once around. I couldn't find a picture of shackles that could compare to what I saw in the dream. There were no chains in the dream, only TRANSPARENT, smooth shackles. THE DEMON FELL WITH A CRASH The raging wolf-demon fell to the ground with a crash. This supernatural, Holy Spirit, Shackle of the Most High God was see-through, flexible, smooth, about three inches wide and half an inch thick. I gave the command and the LORD slapped the shackle on him. He fell. He would never rise again, but he was still in my house. BINDING THE DEMONS ARMS It was still very active, though unable to walk. It could still lash at me and my kids with its furious arms and claws and snap at us with its teeth. The Holy Spirit had me bind its arms next. I pointed at the demon, which was still very dangerous and commanded, "In the name of Jesus Christ, I command your arms to be bound!" Again, the same transparent, supernatural shackle was slapped upon and wrapped around the wrists of this demon. It then fell upon its side and could not move. These were not normal bonds. These were bonds of the LORD and they caused the demon to be almost paralyzed from the neck down. It was bound to the ground, but not cast out. BINDING THE DEMONS MOUTH Although bound, it's mouth was filled with audible curses and it was lashing with its teeth. If my kids were to go near, it could still devour them. The Holy Spirit had me bind its mouth. I pointed at it and said, "I command your mouth to be bound in the name of Jesus Christ!" Immediately a thick transparent band was slapped across its mouth. It could no longer speak or bite. THREE BONDS IN JESUS NAME Not only did this third bond prevent the demon from speaking or biting, it caused the demon to be completely bound on my floor. It could do nothing at all but struggled beneath the bonds of the LORD. "A three fold cord is not easily broken!" What had once stalked, hunted and tormented me day and night was now on my floor bound with cords of the Holy Spirit, but it was not cast out. THREE SETS OF BONDS SIDE BY SIDE The demon fought hard against the bonds and was beginning to struggle lose. One set of these bonds were not enough for this wicked spirit, neither were two sets, but God led me to bind that demon THREE times in the exact same way. I had to focus on one bond at a time. I had to say every word clearly. I had to apply each bond individually. I could not command a mass binding. Each bond had to be commanded on individually. "... a threefold cord is not easily broken..." (Ecclesiastes 4:12) I commanded the demons ankles to be bound in Jesus name. Immediately the exact same transparent shackle was slapped upon his ankles right beside the first one. Then I bound his arms again. A second transparent strap was slapped upon his wrists beside the first. And upon his mouth I commanded in Jesus name a second bond, and one was added the same way. After this second set of bonds, the demon was even more bound, but after a little bit, it began to attempt to struggle loose. The Holy Spirit led me to do a third set. I did it all the same way. THREE TIMES THREE... EACH BOND WAS TRIPLED After a while the wolf demon began to struggle under those bonds. It would struggle and fight and never give up until it was lose. It must be utterly bound. Many times we bind something and just because it feels good for a while and we feel free for a little bit, we think it's finished, but we don't realize that we have more work to do. A demon can be bound, but not cast out. It can break those bonds in time if it's not completely and correctly bound then cast completely out of the house. The demon was still on my floor. It was not cast out and it was fighting the bonds and would soon break free to continue the mission it was on against me. The Holy Spirit had me bind this evil creature over and over and over again. Every time it had to be specific and in the name of Jesus Christ. On the demons ankles there were three transparent bonds side by side. The Holy Spirit had me command two more bonds to each one, so that there would be three sets of three bonds on the demons legs. When I did this, it's legs were utterly and forever bound. The Holy Spirit had me do the exact same thing to the demons arms. Again, each time had to be a precise and specific command in the name of Jesus Christ. It took time and patience. When I was finished, there were three sets of three bonds on the demons wrists. The demons arms were utterly and forever bound. The mouth had been utterly bound at three bonds. POWERFUL SYMBOLISM OF THE NUMBER THREE The number Three represents the Trinity of God Himself: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. There are three points (north, east & west) to the Cross of Jesus Christ representing His sacrifice and shed blood. Jesus rose from the dead in three days. ALL TOGETHER THE DEMON WAS BOUND 21 TIMES... 3 TIMES 7 These are very powerful and symbolic numbers. Seven is the number of God.... completeness. The seven Spirits of God before His throne. God created the world in 7 days... so on. THE WOLF DEMON WAS CAST OUT FOREVER ! So now this demon was utterly bound. It stopped moving on my floor. It laid there as if it were completely dead. Everything about this demon was dead-like and bound. Then it was cast out of my house by God Himself. Right before my eyes the demon dissolved, faded away and completely disappeared. It was finally GONE! TIME TO CLEAN THE HOUSE "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9) "Christ loves the church and gave Himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the Word..." (Ephesians 5:26) After this, the Holy Spirit had me look to my house. It was time to get it cleaned, sealed and in order. The atmosphere was still filled with fear. The walls were still dark, brittle and dilapidated. The house was still not guarded. There were many openings by which the enemy could come back in. The door and windows were not locked, and there were many cracks and crannies in my walls. The Lord had me seal up every single opening in my house. "But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin." (1 John 1:7) SHUT ALL THE OPENINGS IN JESUS NAME "When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it goes through dry places seeking rest and finds none. Then it says, 'I will return to the house I left.' When it arrives it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. So the final condition of that person is worse than at first." (Matthew 12:43-45) I started with the doors. In the same way that I had commanded bonds on the demon in the name of Jesus, the Lord had me bind up the openings of my entire house. I went to every opening, one at a time, from biggest to smallest (doors, windows, cracks) and bound them up in Jesus name. I now had a loved one helping me do this. The same type of spiritual transparent material was slapped on my door. A shield of the Lord that could not be penetrated. All the openings were then coated with this thick transparent protection. My house began to slowly recover and heal. The fear began to leave and the atmosphere began to change. I WOKE UP at that point. This dream is a great example of what happens to us when one or more demons come in whether the house of our bodies or the literal house we live in, or both... they cause trouble, disorder and it all eventually leads to destruction & death. If they are inside already, we must know how to bind them and cast them out forever... only Jesus can do that. Without a living relationship with Jesus Christ, the living power of the Holy Spirit, and the FAITH in who Jesus is... you will be forsaken to the destruction of the enemy. THE MAIN KEYS TO CASTING OUT DEMONS 1. FAITH, FAITH, FAITH !!! 2. Understand TRULY who Jesus is, especially in relation to yourself. 3. Be submitted to the Lord, totally REPENTED of your sins. 4. PRAYER, PRAYER, PRAYER !!! 5. Make sure the Holy Spirit is with you... this isn't a game. 6. Fasting may be required. (Matthew 17:21... this kind does not go out except by prayer & fasting.) "Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, 'Why couldn’t we drive it out?' He replied, 'Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, "Move from here to there," and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.'” (Matthew 17:19-20) Jesus invites and calls you to know Him while there is still time. Accept Jesus Christ as the Lord of your life today. Make Him your King and follow Him. He is the “Alpha and the Omega. He is the Beginning and the End. He is the Almighty.” (Revelation 1:8)…. “For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given, and the government will be on His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” (Isaiah 9:6)… “She will bear a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins.” (Matt 1:21)… “for salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved." (Acts 4:12) “They overcame the devil by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony and they did not love their lives unto the death.” (Rev. 12:11) “Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with Me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices lies. I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony (The book of Revelations in the Bible. Please read it!) for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.”… YES, I AM COMING SOON!” (Rev 22:12-16 & 20)
