I was preparing for what I knew might be an intense deliverance session. I had set aside time for prayer to ensure I was on the same page as the Lord.

Suddenly, I began having trouble breathing and I knew the enemy was sending an attack because he knew full well Jesus was about to set a heart free from a past of slavery to the world of darkness.

As I was praying and rebuking the spirit wrestling me out of my own mouth were these words, “To every principality in high places you are not contending with Shelly Wilson today because she is dead in Christ. You are contending with Jesus Himself who is alive and well l in me.”

I began to laugh out loud and praise the name of Jesus because from that moment forward I felt an inner shift and a clear revelation of the real authority in Christ. It is more that mere words we quote.

As soon as we realize and really understand who we are and who Jesus is and that He dwells in us that devil sees that we finally know the truth.

I realized that day a deeper truth that Christ had been training me in for several years now. Maybe I thought I already knew it well, but perhaps, it wasn’t quite as rooted as I had thought.

That demon did bow to Jesus and that heart was indeed set free.

I saw the reality and manifestation before my eyes of real truth. Sometimes, all I have to do is just walk in the room and darkness is on high alert. Why? Because they see the Jesus in me.

Beloved of God. Are you certain of who you are and of who He is? A battle with the realities of Hell will put you to a great test.

We had best get to a brave place with Jesus where we understand our divine authority. Otherwise, the devil and his minions have quite a hay day with us.

Once Christ gives you the fullness of revelation of who He is in you, you’ll know with all confidence that all you often need to do is just walk into the room.
