“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (James 4:7).
If the devil is trying to put symptoms on you, you have the authority to get rid of him!
The reason Christians have so much trouble getting rid of sickness and disease is that they accept the symptoms to begin with. A little, green-eyed monster comes knocking on their door to deliver the package, and they say, “Oh, let’s see – watery eyes, runny nose, sore throat, headache. Yes, I do believe I’m getting the flu!”
They take the package and then suddenly say, “Hey, wait a minute! I don’t want this!” But once received, the package is difficult to give back.
So when sickness comes knocking on your door, remember not to accept the package! Say, “Let’s see – watery eyes, runny nose, headache, sore throat. No, no, no, no! I’m not going to take that. Devil, I resist you in the name of Jesus! You won’t put that on me! I’ve been redeemed from poverty, sickness and death. You won’t give that to me. In the name of Jesus, you take your symptoms and get out of here!”
You have the authority to do that. So take your stand against the enemy. Refuse every package of symptoms he tries to deliver to your doorstep!
I rebuke sickness when it tries to come on me. I exercise my faith when I first notice symptoms,
and those symptoms have to go, in Jesus’ name!
