What to do With Demonic words?
READER QUESTION: WHAT TO DO WITH DEMONIC RHEMA?
If a person perceived that something they saw or heard or a dream, etc was demonic, would you try to sort out its meaning and pray to bind it? Would you try to discern where it was coming from, what door, etc?
==================
SANDY RESPONSE
For myself, when I see or hear something demonic I immediately bind it and command it to shut up and leave in Jesus Name. I don’t listen, ponder a meaning or give it any attention at all. I was trained as a warrior and learned that life and the Lord radically intervened and turned me into a lover instead. It doesn’t mean I let down my warrior reflex even a tad, but it means that my focus, my attention and passion is totally and completely in the opposite position.
One of my favorite testimonies is when the devil appeared to Smith Wigglesworth and he opened his eyes and said, “Oh its only you.” Then he turned over in bed and went back to sleep.
I remember one vision the Lord gave me about this. I was lifted up and I saw a scene that was quite revealing. It was like a circle of different groups of people. On the outside, I saw all these people sending in curses. And I saw a ring of warriors that were facing the opposers head on. These warriors had their backs to an inner circle. In the inner circle, there were a bunch of people facing IN towards one Person. Jesus was mingling among them and ministering to them. I heard the Lord tell me not to mind what was going on outside of the circle.
I live my life to attain an open porthole/heaven where I will not see or hear the demonic. It is my daily passion to keep heaven in and hell out. My husband is in the same place and heart. We have had this pursuit for years and years and years. Once you begin to flow in what is available in the Lord, it is agonizing to go back to any kind of compromise where the devil gets in to the porthole. Thus it becomes a life time commitment to live towards the place where we say the devil has nothing in me and we can walk with heaven on earth. I fight almost every day to get there and stay there and keep the demonic doors closed.
John 14:30 NKJV
…for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me.
Eph 4:27-28 NKJV
…nor give place to the devil.
James 4:7-10 NKJV
Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.
FAITH IN THE DEMONIC DREAM
There are many Christians that are feeding on unclean meat from the enemy and thinking it is God’s voice. They are perceptive enough to recognize inspiration and revelation through dreams, visions, etc but not understanding the source is from the wrong camp. These sources of “revelation” are being interpreted as prophesy, warnings, corrections and judgments.
With lack of discernment and ability to separate strong meat, when we receive these things as God’s will, we are releasing them to come to pass. Faith is what activates the spirit realm. If the devil shows what he intends, and people believe it, it only empowers it to happen. That is how the occult gets so strong along with the false prophets.
Fear Releases Negative Faith In The Devil
One of the reasons demonic dreams have so much power in Christian lives is because they believe in it through fear. They rehearse it in their mind through worry, they report it to others, and they are fearful about it coming in the future. Fear is actually faith in the devil and that is negative faith. Fear dispatches demonized forces to set up the negative circumstances of one’s belief.
HOW TO RESPOND TO DEMONIC REVELATION
When we see the real source, we can learn to prophesy in the opposite spirit and release God’s battle plan against what has been exposed. How? Without actually telling the demonic revelation, we can prophesy and decree the exact opposite of what was shown. Like for instance, saying that God is going to raise a standard against it. God is not calling us to prophesy and believe the demonic intent, but to release to His people a future and a hope. We can also prophesy a call to repentance that corresponds to what was seen in the demonic revelation, without telling the revelation.
A Christian’s place is to STAND against such, that it wont happen… not prophesy it to happen or believe that it will. Find your focus on God’s goodness, abundant life and standing against the destroyer with your weapons of warfare.
The massive collection of scripture about God’s goodness is very profound. He is good, does good, promises good. He has created us as His children to do good, think good, expect good, speak good. One of the most powerful weapons we are given is to overcome evil with good. We can do this by praying against bad news and declaring God’s goodness and promises over bad news.
Rom 12:21 NKJV
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
1 Thess 5:21
Test all things; hold fast what is good .
1 Peter 3:10-11
“He who would love life And see good days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, And his lips from speaking deceit. 11 Let him turn away from evil and do good; Let him seek peace and pursue it.
3 John 11
Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good .

WORD TO PONDER: WHO DO YOU SAY I AM? 7/23/07
When I labored and created the earth, I looked over everything that I made and saw that it was very GOOD. I also gave gifts of creativity so that mankind could understand that what is created comes out of the heart of the person creating it. The creation is a message that in some way represents the person behind it. What I created was good, because I AM GOOD.
Live in such a way that men will see your GOOD works and glorify Me, for a good man will bring forth good things from the good treasure stored in his heart. When I walked the earth, I went about doing GOOD and healing all who were oppressed by the devil. I give GOOD gifts to My children and I do not change; I AM GOOD. Every GOOD and perfect gift comes from Me. I AM and always will be, the GOOD Shepherd.
Remove your focus off the devil. Overcome evil with good. Abhor evil and cling to good. Never repay evil with evil. But instead pursue good. If you want to see good days, refrain from speaking evil. Turn away from evil and do good. Beloved, all in the world is very simple. You have only 2 choices: good or evil, coming from the kingdoms of light or darkness. You need to make your choice and stick to it until the end, knowing Who I AM and Who keeps you. Separate and discern what you are listening to. You need to separate the mixture and choose the good part. A good report makes My body healthy for I know the good plans I have for you, to give you a future and a hope.
Jer 29:10-12 NLT
For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for GOOD and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
Ex 33:12,13,18,19, 34:5-7 NKJV
Then Moses said to the LORD, “See, You say to me, ‘Bring up this people.’ But You have not let me know WHOM You will send with me. Yet You have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also found grace in My sight.’ 13 Now therefore, I pray, if I have found grace in Your sight, show me now Your way, that I may know You and that I may find grace in Your sight… 18 And he said, “Please, show me Your glory.” 19 Then He said, “I will make all My GOODness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before you. … 34:5 Now the LORD descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD. 6 And the LORD passed before him and proclaimed, “The LORD, the LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in GOODness and truth, 7 keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children’s children to the third and the fourth generation.”
EXAMPLE OF HOW TO RESPOND TO BAD NEWS DREAMS
The following is a testimony of how someone responded to their dream according to God’s desires. He gave her this dream so that she would exercise her authority, her identity in Him to PRAY OVER IT. Her prayers turned the purpose of the enemy.
Job 33:14-18 For God speaks once, yea twice, yet man perceives it not. 15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; 16 Then he opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction, 17 That he may turn man from his purpose, and hide pride from man. 18 He keeps back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
TESTIMONY: Several night ago I had a dream that my wallet and a check that I had received were stolen. Over the next couple of days I prayed on this dream. I remembered right away that wallet/purse represents “our identity” in dreams. A “check,” represents money or finances usually in some way. I prayed over this unsure of what it might mean and asking God for wisdom.
Today I discovered that my “identity” had been stolen. Someone had breached the security on a large on-line website and used my account (identity) to send themselves a $100 giftcard (the check part of the dream). Thanks be to God that the retailer caught on to the fraud and immediately closed down my account. They were suspicious when there was a request to change my email address (identity) on the account at the same time of the order.
