KEY SCRIPTURE: John 16:7 KJV” Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.”

The victory, power, and excellence of the child of God are as a result of his cooperation with the Holy Spirit in him. On the vice versa, the tonnes of problems that assail most men are as a result of the deception and tricks of Satan, or devils that take men captive. The picture of the Holy Spirit in us is revealed in an encounter of Moses with the Spirit of God in the book of Exodus 3.

In Exodus 3 the Spirit of the Lord encountered Moses in a burning bush, while the bush remained unconsumed. This picture is exactly how the Spirit dwells in the Christian. We are carriers of fire whiles we are not consumed, yet evil is judged. Remember that, the scriptures say the Lord is a consuming fire Heb 12:29.    In Deut 4:24 the word teaches that ”  For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.” Now jealousy means He would not permit any other unwanted power, to compete with His presence, so long as we do not want that thing to be there. If you like that thing, then His jealousy is weakened and cannot consume the alien power away.

What kind of alien power, am I referring to? This could be sickness, an evil habit, a spirit or a sinful lifestyle.  The Holy Spirit is in you to consume that power, to keep you free.

Matt 3:12 KJV “Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner, but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.” This verse refers to the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit would not want any competition with any other influence. This is what holiness is about. It is a separation from all sinful ways. This is an act of your will and then the Spirit will also follow up by consuming or judging that unwanted power.

All you need for the total annihilation of evil is to take a stand with the Spirit, by believing the word of God, and with your mouth commanding that evil presence to leave you, and then the Holy Spirit will go into action, by dealing with the sickness, habit or evil power.

 THOUGHT: REMEMBER, GOD, DOES NOT SEPARATE FRIENDS, IF YOU HATE THAT THING, THEN IT MUST GO.
