EPHESIANS 3:12 (AMP)
15-17 They sent them out of the room so they could work out a plan. They talked it over: “What can we do
with these men? By now it’s known all over town that a miracle has occurred, and that they are behind it.
There is no way we can refute that. But so that it doesn’t go any further, let’s silence them with threats so they won’t dare to use Jesus’ name ever again with anyone.”
18-20 They called them back and warned them that they were on no account ever again to speak or teach in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John spoke right back, “Whether it’s right in God’s eyes to listen to you rather than to God, you decide. As for us, there’s no question—we can’t keep quiet about what we’ve seen and heard.”.
The devil has never wanted the Gospel of Christ preached and has been trying all means to stop it. He
doesn’t want people to hear what Jesus has done for them and that’s why we must tell everybody that Jesus saves.
Dr R.W. Schambach commanded the demons in a lady to come out, but they adamantly refused to leave. Defiant, the demons said to Dr. Schambach, “We’re not coming out and we’ll wear you out.” Dr Schambach replied, “We don't wear out devil. The lesson here is that he didn't say, “You will not wear me out.” His statement is another way of saying, “We belong to a class that cannot be worn out.” We’re special, unique and different from the kind of beings that could be worn out.
Then he went on to say, “My elder brother Jesus defeated you on Calvary and He put His foot on your neck.”
As he said that, the demon shouted, “Don’t say that!” but he said it again, despite the demon’s protest.
Finally, the demon said, “Alright, I know I am defeated, but please don’t tell everybody.” According to Dr
Schambach, he made up his mind to tell the whole world that Jesus has defeated the devil. This is what the
Lord has anointed His children to do.
The Bible says, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved. How then shall they call
on Him whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?” (Romans 10:13-14)
You must realise that you're the preacher in your world; your house, your office, class or neighbourhood.
You can’t afford to fold your arms and not do anything, while those around you continue the hapless journey of destruction, bondage, sickness, poverty and hell. God has anointed you to deliver men from the bondage of the enemy, therefore, it’s high time you be about your heavenly Father’s business, for many need the message He put in your heart.
