Psalm 68:2

‘As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God’ 

 DAILY READING – 1 Corinthians 9; 2 Kings 1-2; Amos 7
An experiment was carried out in a science class, in which the teacher charged water in a basin with a measure of electricity, and put some money in the basin. He then told the class that anyone could have the money who would be able to take it. 

Excitedly One of the students reached in his hand, but as soon as he touched the water, all power left the nerves and muscles of his hand, and he could not take the money.

Others with stronger nerves and muscles tried, but not one could succeed over the power of the electricity. No matter how physically strong each student was, when their arm came in contact with the greater electrical power in the water, their arm became weak.

The power of the electricity was simply greater than the power they possessed, so they were overcome and none could take the money. 

This somehow demonstrates how demonic forces are rendered useless when they come in contact with an atmosphere of God’s presence.  Such an environment is dominated by The Holy Ghost, and so becomes a no fly zone to every devil. A no-fly zone or air exclusion zone, is a territory over which aircraft are not permitted to fly. In a Holy Ghost zone, no witch or wizard can be able to fly. In a Spirit filled environment, every devil loses his ability to operate. This is why as a child of God you must constantly keep your environment charged with The power of God, through constant prayer, praise and declaration of God’s Word. 

You can’t afford to live a powerless life in this era, it is too dangerous. The Bible records that when the evil spirit is cast out, and comes back and finds the place garnished but empty, it goes and brings back seven more wicked devils. This is talking about anyone who may be outwardly garnished and decorated, but inwardly void of Holy Ghost power.  

Ephesians 6 lets us know that we are not wrestling with flesh and blood but against principalities and powers and spiritual wickedness in high places.  In this ongoing spiritual battle you will survive based on the level of your spiritual power. Jesus severally admonished believers to watch and pray and to live ready.  

Peter 1: 8 tells us to be sober and vigilant, because the enemy is going about as a roaring lion, seeking whom to devour. You become too hot for the enemy to handle, when you maintain a prayerful and praise-full atmosphere constantly around you.   

Psalm 27: 2 says ‘When the wicked, even mine enemies  and my foes came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell’

When you are defended by the power of God, anytime evil forces try to access you they stumble and fall. When the Roman soldiers came to arrest Jesus they all fell flat on their faces. They could only touch Him because He allowed it so that scriptures can be fulfilled.  

Let us therefore keep our environment constantly Charged with God’s power. We are in a battle, soldiers who are careless in battle become victims. Do not allow yourself to become a cheap prey through spiritual carelessness and laxity.  Give no room to the devil.  Let the fire on your prayer altar constantly keep burning and never go out. 

When we bless The Lord at all times and His praise is continually on our lips, we create an atmosphere where God inhabits. Such an atmosphere is charged with power. It is an atmosphere too hot for any evil to gain access. 

Psalm 68:2-3 says ‘As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.’

In Zechariah 2:5 God says He will be unto us a wall of fire round about.

We must therefore consciously maintain God’s Presence around us.  And this we do by keeping our loins girded and our lights constantly burning. 

Indeed when we are surrounded by God, we become too hot for any devil to handle. 
PRAYER: Lord, Please help me to always keep my environment constantly charged with Your Power. Indeed by Your Presence that surrounds me, my life has become too hot for any devil to handle  in Jesus Name..
