There is no such thing as a Vaccum

Everyone of us is a unique creation created by Almighty God for a divine purpose. In the beginning God made a single man (Adam) and formed a woman (Eve) out of the man. They were fully grown adults and God initiated the institute of marriage; one woman for one man.

They were commanded to increase in number and rule the earth and all that is upon it. God gave them fruits for food and placed them in a garden. God also planted two trees in the middle of the garden; The Tree of Life that gave eternal life to those who ate of its fruit and The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Bad that brought death.. God commanded Adam and Eve never to eat from the second tree.

Adam and Eve had everything they possibly wanted. They were living in overflowing abundance.

God had given man a goal.

To multiply – they were told to get busy in the baby production department. You see Adam did not have to go to work to bring in the bacon. He could fully dedicate his attention to his young beautiful wife.

Adam was also to care for the garden, that was also an easy job – no weeds, no pests, no diseases, plenty of under ground water. No sweat there. God had placed them in the garden however he was also told to rule the entire earth. God had given Adam an outline of what was expected of him. It was upto Adam to decide how he executed his divine job.

Apparently both Adam and Eve had too much idle time. You know the saying – idle hands devil’s workshop. An idle mind also becomes the devil’s playground. Instead of eagerly getting on with their divine assignment, they idled about the garden thereby opening a window of opportunity to the deceiver.

There is one good thing you could say about Satan. He is never idle. He is always plotting and scheming. Both Adam and Eve fell right into the schemers trap and they died to their God. God had warned them they would die if they ate of the second tree. Man was created as a spirit being having a soul and living in a physical body. The spirit of man was God’s spirit breathed into him and kept him in fellowship, alive with God. When man broke faith with God man’s spirit became dead to God’s presence and death entered human body and all the other creations.

While meting out the punishment for the disobedience God also gave man a promise. God was not prepared to concede defeat to a cast out angel. He prophesied the birth of a savior who would restore man to his original rightful place-with God.

Ever since, satan and his demon cohorts have been torturing man kind with all kinds of diseases, plagues, disasters, torments, additions. Many of the afflictions and additions are the result of certain kinds of evil spirit. The spirit of infirmity, spirit of alcoholism, spirit of homosexuality, spirits of various kinds of abuses, spirit of adultery, etc. are demonic spirit oppressions that oppress people around the globe.

Man can be delivered of these spirits through the power in the Name of Jesus. However, care should be taken that the cast out spirit does not return seven times stronger to find the delivered person without a master. Every delivered individual should repent of their sins and receive Jesus Christ as their savior, and Lord. They must receive by faith the deliverance, healing and restoration that is available thru the death and shed blood of Jesus on the cross of Calvary. Then the spirit of the Lord will come and dwell with him. This way the delivered person becomes the blood brought possession of God and satan will have no hold on him.

Remember friends there is no such thing as vaccum in a person - either Jesus dwells there or satan. Choose Jesus every day.
