You have given a banner to those who fear You, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah Psalm 60.4

People who respect the Lord don’t need to worry about threats from the lost, who promise to do them harm. As servants of the Most High, they should neither fear nor tremble. We have a good banner from God to display. The saved need to study the Bible more because of the demons, the real enemies, who hate them so much that they would destroy them if they could (Ephesians 6.12). Know your rights!

In the past, when they had to go to war to defend themselves against attacks from other countries, the commander of a nation would go to the front and carry a flag. When he saw the enemy, he would propose a peaceful retreat under certain conditions. If the proposal was not accepted, the officer of the attacked country would raise the flag and order an attack on the invading forces, and war was declared.

We’ve been given a flag to display in the event of aggression, but we don’t have to propose peace, because it’s a case without any possibility of the opponent repenting or thinking better of it. There are no conditions for the devil to accept. The order is to cast him out from where he is. Jesus said: And these signs will follow those who believe: in My name they will cast out demons [...] and they will lay hands on the sick and they will recover (Mark 16.17,18). War on the enemy to the end!

Our flag is the Holy Scripture, which guarantees us complete deliverance. If anyone decides to propose peace to Satan, they are prevaricating – making a deal without authorization. Anyone who dares to act like this with the devil will pay a high price. God knows that the evil one has no chance of regenerating and will remain the greatest liar. As for people who lie without repentance, their future will be eternal death (Revelation 21:8).

Those who respect the Lord, living according to His Word, can give the order to attack darkness when it comes on the scene, because they have the banner – the Name of the Lord. Using Him, evil will flee far from them (Luke 10:19). Standing firm in Jesus, you will never make a deal with the devil, but you will cast a fire on him that will burn him to the ground. Never back down!

It’s time for the church to stop being a Christian social club and take its place as the leader of the holy people. The time has come to unite our faith with that of those who do not yet know the Lord, and to march firmly to spread the Name throughout all the Earth. We have the power to bind and loose, granted by Jesus, who said: And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven (Matthew 16.19). Use it!

The cause of Truth is losing the battle to that of lies. We cannot continue to see so many people suffering, when we have the Lord’s authority in our hands. We need to help those who suffer at the hands of the devil, binding him and casting him out of the lives of those who are oppressed and subjugated. We can make a difference!

In Christ, with love,
