Locked out

I was told this incident by a friend of mine who related how her maid, when being asked to lock the house's main gate using a long chain, did so but... guess where she ended up standing when the gate was locked. The maid was standing outside on the road outside the house gate. One can guess what actually happened.

Upon reflection, I have to remind myself to be careful when I am engaging in spiritual warfare prayer , either for myself or others.

1. Make sure that I am living right before I engage in spiritual warfare. Have you heard of the demon who asked the one binding..." who are you" instead of the other way around. One must have the spiritual authority to engage in spiritual warfare.
   
2. Remembering Luke 11 v 24 to 26, whereby if one does not take the necessary action, the spirit driven out will come back, bringing with it 7 other spirits.

But..praise be to God for the authority He has given us , in the name of Jesus.
