In the past couple of weeks I’ve been attacked twice by demonic entities through my dreams. But, I have a feeling I’m not the only one. I believe the enemy is directing dark powers toward God’s people and attacking many of us in a similar manner. These entities will do everything within their power to get us to turn away from God. So we must know how to fight these dark powers. Remember what Paul said in Ephesians?

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12

To fight these forces there’s a couple of things one should know.

Satan is the prince and ruler over this world

And you[He made alive when you] were [spiritually] dead and separated from Him because of your transgressions and sins, in which you once walked. You were following the ways of this world [influenced by this present age], in accordance with the prince of the power of the air [Satan], the spirit who is now at work in the disobedient [the unbelieving, who fight aghainst the purposes of God]. Ephesians 2:1-3 (AMP)

Knowing Satan is the prince of the power of the air means he has influence over this world. And he uses that influence by allowing his demonic spirits to guide, direct and control non-believers in his ways. Non-believers can be physically possessed by these demonic entities and it’s why Christians are to be careful who they associate with.

But while these entities can influence our thoughts, our moods, and our emotions such as fear, worry, anxiety, depression, hatred and lust, as a TRUE born again Christian, these entities cannot possess a true believer. But they will attack us every chance they get.

How do we fight against them?

Renew the mind

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove that the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12:2

How do we renew the mind?

Set your minds on the things that are above, not on the things that are on earth. Colossians 3:2

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Philippians 4:8

And He said to him, “YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND. This is the great and foremost commandment. Matthew 22:37,38

We also renew the mind by reading God’s Word, by praying, by praise and by singing and when we do these things and keep our focus on God, and believe in Jesus as our Lord and Savior we receive authority and power to reject these demonic entities.

We need to recognize when a thought comes into our mind that is NOT of God, we need to respond quickly, to take that thought captive and hold it in obedience to Christ. In other words, you can say something as simple as this;

I reject you Satan, Get out of my head!
