Watch Out For The Ticks!

6/19/2012

A couple I was working with recently went out for a walk on a nature trail in our area.  After concluding their walk they realized there were a number of ticks crawling on them.  They worked to rid themselves of the nasty creatures that sought to attach to them and begin sucking the blood and life out of them.  The next day in a time of prayer the Lord prompted the wife with the thought that those ticks are like demons that had been oppressing her and her husband and it was time to let the Lord remove the footholds that had given the enemy room to work.

The devil and his demons are like ticks.  In Eph. 4:27 we read, "Do not give the devil a foothold".  In this passage Paul mentions a number of ways believers can give the enemy footholds in their lives.  (Dishonesty, unresolved anger, stealing, unwholesome talk that does not edify, bitterness, brawling (unresolved conflicts that escalate), malice, sexual immorality, etc. 
 
Are you giving the devil or a demon a foothold in your life today that is allowing you to be oppressed and to have your life blood sucked out of you?
If so it's time to surrender the foothold to the Lord and renounce the lies of the enemy associated with that stronghold.  The Lord will help you get rid of the ticks as you yield to Him.
