SENDING DEVIL SPIRITS INTO CHAINS OF DARKNESS
Psalm 149 gives us insight into one of the
greatest and longest-lasting weapons we have against forces of evil.
Verse 6 tells us we have a two-edged sword in
our hand to bind people’s “kings with chains, their nobles with fetters of
iron.”
That’s not referring to human kings and nobles
but to those principalities and powers in high places, i.e., devil spirits, demons.
We are to “execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his
saints. Praise ye the Lord” (v. 9). When I show you the written judgment that
you have a right to proclaim upon demons that
disobey, you will be praising the Lord too.
The written judgment comes directly from the
Word of God. It says that if demons do not keep their first estate (Jude 1:6)
but are disobedient (1 Pet. 3:19-20) and if they sin (2 Pet. 2:4), they are to
be delivered into chains of darkness, in prison (1 Pet. 3:19), in everlasting
chains (Jude 1:6) under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. That’s a
lot to meditate on, and vital revelation.
So how do we know when demons are disobedient?
There are laws of God, lines that cannot be
crossed. Two that I know of are 1) The power when we use the name of Jesus
Christ, and 2) the power of the blood of Jesus. Devil spirits legally must bow
to these two very strong commands.
If you’ve prayed for, spiritually poured, or
applied the blood of Jesus for its protection over your children, for instance,
and a demon is trying to hurt them, that demon has crossed the line. The demon
isn’t regarding the legality of the blood of Jesus. The blood applied to the
doorposts and lintels in Exodus even kept the destroying angel from having
access to the believers. If you have by revelation and believing applied the
blood of Jesus to any situation and an evil spirit has not backed down, you
have the legal right to send that spirit to outer darkness to be imprisoned in
“everlasting chains” until the final judgment day.
That means you’ve taken that demon or demons
out of the world until the final judgment. Those particular ones are locked in
prison with the ones Jesus showed Himself to when He went to hell and triumphed
over them all. They are locked into everlasting darkness and unable to roam the
earth and hurt anyone else. This is an awesomely good thing, and as Psalm 149:9
says: “This honour have all his saints. Praise the Lord.”
Can you imagine how much better the world will
be as God’s family begins to exercise this privilege and right to chain up
thousands of these demons that are so arrogant to think they can defy the laws
of Almighty God?!
Another case of demon disobedience is one that
my roommate Jane and I experienced with a house in our neighborhood.
The people were gone from the house, but the
demons weren’t. We had been using the name of Jesus Christ against the cluster
of demons that remained in the back part of the house. We looked directly at
the house and spoke Philippians 2:10, which says: “That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in
heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth.” I absolutely believe
that verse, and when it didn’t work, I was baffled.
I looked over at
the house, and I could see by revelation that the devils were trying to hide in
that back corner, at the furthest point away from us.
The house is now
unoccupied. I prayed no one would move in until we got totally rid of the
demons; the house had a bad history. First, there was “Papa.” We found out he
was illegally growing marijuana in the back area of the house. He was extremely
arrogant and unfriendly. He was one of the jefes
at a local landscape company and often had his guys come over with plants for
his yard. They worked in the hot sun while he sat in the shade, swore at them
and barked directions. The other neighbors would hear loud, vicious arguments
he’d have with his wife. Whenever we saw his young children, which wasn’t very
often, they seemed terrified. His wife was practically a prisoner in the house.
They lived there for many years, but I wouldn’t recognize her at the store if I
saw her. Finally, they left, and another couple moved in.
The new couple
eventually invited friends. I rarely saw the friends, but one day I was out
watering, and a girl arrogantly marched out the front door to the edge of the
sidewalk and was calling someone on her cell phone. A guy ran out after her
with a metal pipe held up in his hand, threatening her. It scared me, so I
started to call 911, but then the girl went back inside, and it quieted down.
About a month later, they all got evicted.
The demons were
still there. I knew I had to do more.
One morning I
knew in the Spirit that it was time to take the final action, and Jesus
confirmed it in a big way. I’d first heard about believers putting demons in
chains of darkness from Dr. Dale Sides. Then I heard more about it from Dr.
Paul Norcross. This particular morning, after not hearing from Paul in over
five months, I received a written message from him that reminded me of what to
do in these kinds of situations. Also, I’d just the day before listened to a
teaching about taking situations to the courtroom of God.
When I got ready
to confront those demons across the street, I knew the courtroom of God would
be the
appropriate venue
to picture in my Spirit. In this particular situation, we had a legal case
against these devil spirits.
I felt led to
drive the car over and park in front of the house where we had the best view of
the back corner where the evil spirits gathered. I started by reading Ezekiel
21:14-17 out loud and pounding my fists together a couple of times, like in the
scripture.
Then I prayed and
told the demons, “You have no right to be here. We’ve poured the blood of Jesus
on this house and demanded you to leave in the name of Jesus Christ, according
to Philippians 2:10, but you haven’t obeyed. You’ve broken and stood against
the law of Almighty God. But God is the one who made you in the first place,
and He is greater than you. The Bible says we can bind you in chains and send
you to outer darkness for your disobedience. You get out of here. We’ll give
you until we get back from our errands, and if you’re not gone, you’re going to
chains of darkness until the final judgment. If you think you can arrogantly
stand against God, you’re wrong.”
We prayed for
God’s angels to carry out the job. We came back from our errands, and it felt
like several of the larger demons had taken off. Four were still there. Two
whined and tried to make themselves look small and pitiful: “We’re going. We’re
going. Just a little more time.” But I could see right through their deception.
These were the arrogant ones, and they rose large, angry, and vicious the
minute I said, “NO! No more time. You’re going now!” Then there were only two
more, less vicious and hiding as if we couldn’t see them.
Spiritually, I
knew that they were thinking that they should be safe as long as they were
tagging along with the bigger demons. None wanted to
go, but God’s angels were there to arrest, chain, and lead them off.
The house is now just a house. God’s angels
took the demons and paraded them across the expanse, like a victorious leader
in battle marches his prisoners in chains down the main street for all to see.
No person will ever have to be abused or lured
by those four demons ever again. They will be held in chains, in prison, in
outer darkness until the final judgment.
My reaction surprised me. I was sad that they
had chosen this fate. They had the choice. But still, I was so glad they were
gone now. We prayed for good, wonderful people to move into the newly cleaned
house.
The house stayed empty for many months, and
that was fine. Then we saw a mother and her two school-aged boys move in. The
place has been quiet and peaceful ever since.
We, as the body of believers, are the
spiritual watchmen in the world today — what an awesome honor, blessing, and
responsibility we have.
I hope you will take the time to look up the
scriptures I’ve shared about what we can do when demons don’t obey. Let’s join
together to get as many devils out of here as we can. Do you want to make the
world a better place? Sending demons to outer darkness is a rock-solid way to be
a part of making that happen. And don’t give up until they’re gone.
Love, Carolyn
