Call It Out By Name

First things first, apologies for the delay in posting a new message - I've got so many things I want to share that I've fallen into some kind of writer's block, not knowing where or which message to start with!

In some of my recent posts I've talked about my living in faith and avoiding medications - refusing to even acknowledge the problem in the physical sense, just believing that it's been healed in the spiritual and waiting in expectation for it to manifest in the flesh.

I fear that some may take this too literally. As much as I pray that these posts bless and encourage each and every reader, they are based upon my own personal situation - I am in no way qualified to discuss anything else! With this in mind, I feel that I should state that the reason I am able to treat my conditions in the way I am is because I know them. I have conducted research and discussed it more times that I can count with doctors, dermatologists and other professionals in the field.

I think this is where the secret lies. In order to draw something out, we need to know what it is. When you've been bitten by a venomous snake, the doctor needs to know which kind of snake it was before he can treat it with the appropriate anti-venom.

It's perfectly acceptable to see a doctor for a diagnosis. If you look in the Bible, most people came to Jesus already knowing what the problem was, and when they didn't know, they told Him the symptoms. He, as the Great Physician Himself, was able to diagnose, through discernment of spirits, where the problems lay.

Jesus first had to name the issue and then He could call it out by its name.  He named the spirits and called them out, rebuking and rejecting them in His name. He commisioned the Disciples to do this very thing, telling them that they were to call out evil spirits; binding spirits; unhealthy spirits and rebuke and reject them in the name of the Most High God.

We can do this. Yes, even today, even you. You can call out those spirits of ill-health and reject them, but you need to know what they are first.

We need to get angry with the enemy; with the evil spirits he is using as weapons against us. We can't just allow him to defeat us. We can't let him get under our skin and make us feel powerless. We can't beg and plead with him, or with those ailments or situations which bind us.

We must take control. Jesus has told us that we can use His name and rebuke them! We have been given the right to use the mightiest name in the universe and reject that which holds us captive.

Learn about your situation and call it out by its name. find its weakness and use the most deadly weapon available, the name of Jesus!

Rebuke and reject!
