DEMONIC INFLUENCES: RECESSION
Yesterday we spoke of a “demonic control” called “demon possession.” Today we will begin to study “demonic influence” which seeks a “measure” of control, not full control as with “possession.” With demon possession, the person’s free will has been surrendered to the demon or demons. As we proceed with P.R.O.O.D. we must note that with the other four (recession, obsession, oppression, depression) the person remains in control of their free will, although it is under attack.
Recession is where demonic pressure is trying to move you “backward” into a former “place” you should never again be. You were set free of some life-controlling or life-altering situation, and Satan is trying to draw you back into it. Perhaps it was an addiction. Maybe it was some traumatic event from childhood that had a very negative affect on you into adulthood, but you were set free from it. Whatever the issue, it was a “train-wreck period” in your life. Although you were “free” from that former part of your life, demonic influences are working to cause you to recede back to that place. You have the free will to fight it through the Word, the Name, and the Blood of Jesus. You have him on your side and Holy Spirit as your counselor. If your will weakens and you do not fight “the good fight of faith” with Jesus, you might very well recede back into that “train wreck.” In the worst-case scenario, giving in to recession could possibly even open up a gate leading to demonic possession.
There may be another type of recession relating to a family issue with your forebears. This might be considered in some cases to be a “generational curse.” Certain evil spirts attach to a family generationally and will try to pass along from one person to their child, grandchild, or great-grandchild. Spirits of witchcraft, sexual abuse, murder, and others often operate this way. This amounts to a generational recession (recede to the evil of a forebear). The person may have no such past of their own, but the “family spirit” tries to pull them “back” to their forebears’ behavior patterns.
In any case, you do not have to submit to any type of recession, but if you do, call on Jesus and He can pull you back.
Victory is yours when you stand on the Word of God (speak it out), call on the name of Jesus, and plead the blood of Jesus against every dark force. Victory! Freedom!

CASTING DOWN IMAGINATIONS
Did you know that Satan does not wear a red suit and carry a pitchfork? No, he appears as an angel of light. II Cor. 11:14-15 says
“And no marvel: for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.”
He doesn’t show up looking like a monster. He shows up transformed to look good.
I Peter 5: 8 says
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.”
This indicates he transforms himself to look like the Lion of the tribe of Judah, which is Jesus. He tries to copy God and deceive anyone he can. Also, it says seeking whom he “may” devour. This indicates he has to have permission. He has nothing good in him at all. He is a deceiver, and a liar. He started with Adam and Eve, and continues to do the same to us.
We must recognize his voice when he whispers temptations or thoughts of doubt, or discounts who we are in Christ. This is all a ploy to get us to give him permission to devour us. He puts thoughts into our minds, and if we don’t cast them down they will materialize. We have to control our thoughts with the Holy Spirit of God in us. Every thought must be filtered through the Holy Spirit, or we will fall into his traps and become devoured. The devil does not play fair. He is looking for advantages. Like in a chess game, if you move wrong, he will set you up to lose. He always looks for opportunities to cause you to doubt God’s promises.
We renew our minds through reading the word of God. It changes doubt to hope and fear to faith. Here is something to consider:
- Satan Says: you are all alone
- God says: I will never leave you nor forsake you
- Satan says: You will never make it.
- God says: I will guide your steps
- Satan says: You can't pay your bills
- God says: I will supply all your needs
- Satan says: No one loves you
- God says: I gave my life for you because I love you
Perhaps you could make a list of promises and put them somewhere you can see them to remind you that God has great love for you. Don’t let Satan’s lies control your thoughts. Cast down those imaginations. Learn to stand on the promises of God and stand on Satan with your foot. He is defeated through the blood and word of Jesus!

TODAY IN THE NEWS
- House bill 6666 if passed will allow testing for Covid19 virus in homes. Tell your representative you want him to vote against it! There are many false positive tests coming up, and this is a violation of our freedom. It could mean losing your children if you are tested and test positive. Your children would be removed.

APOSTLES & PROPHETS EVERYWHERE
With lots of people starting their own FB ministry and garnering a "following", there are so many in our Pentecostal/prophetic realm who are calling themselves "apostle" this or "prophet" that...many even have to put it in their title or name on FB. Please!! Says who?? Before you begin following the latest "apostle" or "prophet" on FB, ask this....
Are there actually other SEASONED apostles/prophets who would call them this? Not just people they know through FB, but people who have known them for years. Have they actually been through any type of ministry training, specifically in the thing they claim to be called to?
Again, notice the wording above. They "call" themselves...they have called themselves, they are not the true "called" and sent ones...some out of ignorance, but many out of pride and a wanting to be recognized. So many want a following, want to be looked up to, and seen as successful at something, and many want to be the "head cheese". They like the recognition, and their motives for what they do are not pure. The functions of apostle and prophet have a high responsibility to them, and not just because you want to have a title, and have other people serve and "sow into" their ministry.
I would say a large number are in it because it is something they can make money at fairly easily without doing a whole lot. A couple of videos and prophetic words, and they have lots "sowing into" their ministry. If that isn't enough, they decide they're going to do a "school" or training of some sort. So many are regurgitating what they heard or saw someone else do.
If you're doing ministry, starting a "school", or doing a mentoring program because you want to make money at it and make it your business...you're in it for the WRONG REASON! Go get a job (Paul the apostle made tents!), and step down and serve someone else's ministry for a while, or get some training for a couple of years.
The Lord is getting ready to deal with those who have run and have not been called. Many have been given warnings that they need to step back or step down, but they have not heeded the warning. If this is you, and you've sensed the Lord saying this, please do it now!
Those who are in ministry, specifically calling themselves apostle or prophet, who are doing it for the wrong reasons, are about to be dealt with by the only Chief Apostle and Prophet..Jesus, King of Kings!
Many ministries will begin to falter and fall apart in this season, for these who have "called" themselves, and have not waited on the Lord to call and send them.
