Devils in the Kingdom
There has been an increased awareness of demonic influence within governments, the news media, the music industry, Hollywood, and sadly even the church. I believe this awareness increase is being driven by the Trinity. (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit).
As is always the case, the Lord is going to begin by addressing His own house first. Over the last several decades we have learned about spiritual warfare and the different types of unclean spirits that try to pervert godly paradigms and shift the way the world thinks.
In our efforts to understand and remedy these demonic strongholds (influences) we have begun to identify and understand the tendencies of certain types of spirits. While this is a godly endeavor to understand our adversaries, we have forgotten about Paul’s admonition to the Ephesians church found in chapter six. The Apostle Paul warns us that our fight is not against people (flesh and blood), but the demonic structures that influence their thinking.
In this message I wish to give us some “Refuge” guidelines on how to proceed in the cleansing process. We want to make sure that our church is a safe place even when addressing necessary correction.
