The word says, his praise shall continually be in my mouth. If we will continually worship the Lord, we are continually keeping the door closed to the devil. The devil can't get in. When God is being glorified, when God is being magnified, when God is getting our attention, the thing that allows the devil in is when he gets our attention. If we listen to him, if we put our focus on him, but if we will continually praise and continually worship, we keep the door closed to the devil. I know this, that I was facing one, one project that we were doing. And the spirit of God said to me, he said, you don't think anything with the anointing is going to go. You don't think anything with the anointing on it is going to go unchallenged, do you? And he said that to me twice. And about two weeks later, as we were finishing up this project, I could feel an evil presence come in the room. And it was just. He said something when he came. He said, this project is going to cost money, the ministry. It's going to bring embarrassment to the ministry. And I recognize that spirit of fear, anytime you try to advance, fear is there to try to pull you back. I don't care what it is, try to advancing the anointing, advancing in what you're born for, advancing in prosperity, advancing in healing, whatever it is in revelation, fear will always show up to try to push you back from your advancement. And so I recognized that it was fear. And I said, fear, you leave me in Jesus name. Well, I sensed it standoff, but it stayed in the room. And I said to God, I said, I don't know why that spirit is standing off and not leaving. And then I realized what it was and is that he was waiting to see if those words he spoke to me would find an entrance. I answered the spirit, but I didn't answer the words, you understand? So I said, this project will not bring embarrassment to this ministry. This project will bless this ministry. See, I had to answer specifically the words that were spoken by the enemy. And then after I answered the words, then I answered him. And as soon as I answered the words, what it did, it stopped the movement of those words around my head. When he spoke those, those words Just kept circling. If I could say they just kept cycling through and cycling through and cycling through trying to get in. I said, no, you don't. No, you don't. But I could still sense their movement around my head trying to get in. So when I said, that project will not bring embarrassment. That project will be funded. It will bless the ministry, all of those words stopped moving. The devil will speak words to set movement against your life. Your words stop the movement of those words. If you don't answer them, those words will keep moving. That's why young kids and even adults get troubled and stay troubled for years. Why they're not answering the words. Amen. You cannot out think words. The devil will try to give you a thought. You can't out think thoughts. You speak to words. You speak to thoughts that the devil gives and you stop their movement. Amen. Then after I answered those words, then I turned to that spirit of fear and I said, now you go. Then he left. And I said to God, why? When I spoke to that spirit earlier, the spirit stood back and he didn't leave. He said, because he was waiting to see if those words that were left unanswered were going to get in. He was wanting to see if he had an entrance. So number one, speak and answer the wrong thoughts. Answer the wrong words spoken against you. Then number two, turn to the spirit that spoke him and tell him to leave. Amen. This is what Jesus said, when I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy. Well, what is the power of the enemy? The power of suggestion. He suggests something. Remember, Jesus has defeated Satan. He stripped him of all power and authority to hurt you. The only power he has left is he suggests wrong thoughts.
