The Devil’s foothold in the life of a Christian is unconfessed, unrepented of sin. 

Sin gives the Devil authority to work in the world, the Church and the Christian. Eph. 4:26,27 

The old nature of the child of God was executed at the cross. Eph. 2:3, Gal 2:20. 

We are to reckon the old man dead. The old man – the old nature of the spirit of man. Romans 6:11-14 

The soul and the body must be renewed. Romans 12:2, James 1:21. 

The old nature of the spirit of man is disobedience. Romans 5:19 – its not in your nature to disobey god. You new nature – the way you are – is to obey god. 

Make sin your enemy. Clean your house. 

At the root of sin is the desire to be independent of god. 2 Cor. 10:3-6.  

Sin will ruin your witness, your ministry and your life. Sin will keep you from the power of God. 

The Christian’s weapons against sin: God’s word – Ps.119:9-11;  

Jesus’ blood Rev.12:11; confession 1 John 1:9; repentance 2 Cor. 7:9-11 

Can a Christian be demonized? 

We are rescued from the power of darkness – Col.1:12-14 – but if we continue to walk in sin, knowingly or unknowingly, we may need to be re-rescued. 

Body and soul still vulnerable. Eph. 4:27, 1 Peter 5:8,9. 

Ananias and Sapphira, Diotrephes, daughter of Abraham. Acts 5:1ff, 3 John 9-11, 

Luke 11:13:11 

Going through deliverance – be thorough and be honest. 

Confess, Repent, Forgive, Remove Charms, Expel.
