"Why are you interfering with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are - the Holy One of God!" But Jesus reprimanded him. "Be quiet! Come out of the man," he ordered. (Mark 1:24-25 NLT) .
We have a responsibility. Our responsibility is to interfere with the works of the devil and to destroy them. If we don't do this, we have failed in our greatest responsibility. It is irresponsible for us to be around and watch while things go wrong in our life, family, community, church, business, etc. We must interfere!
The reason so many things are going wrong with our world and the devil is having free reign, is because we are letting him. It's that simple. We are the light of the world, and if the light refuses to shine, then darkness takes over.
When Jesus was on earth, the entire demonic kingdom knew Him. He was the one who interferes and puts a stop to them and their evil plans. He was the one who destroyed them. So they were scared to death of Him. He had authority and He used that authority. And this is exactly what Jesus has asked us to do. We are to shut the devil up and cast him out of our life, family, business, community, etc.
You cannot afford to let the devil keep reigning. Shut him out and shut him up!
