The Legal Rights that you give the enemy

What exactly does it mean when we give the enemy the legal right to invade our lives? In order to fully understand the legal rights that we willingly give to the enemy we need to have an understanding of God’s Spiritual law. The Spiritual laws are the rules and regulations made by God that everyone must abide by including the Kingdom of God and the kingdom of darkness.

These laws and guidelines are not just pertaining to the Ten Commandments as most people may think. There are many principles scattered throughout the Word of God that can lead to either blessings or curses.

The perfect verse of Scripture that highlights the fact the there is a spiritual law is Romans 7:14 the Apostle Paul writes, “For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin.” Here we can see that Paul is making a distinction of the law that he is referring to being spiritual and not physical laws or material laws.

Think of the rules as consequences that the Lord is establishing up front beforehand so that we can have a clear understanding of what to do and what not to do as children of God. They are the rules of life that will determine your outcome based on how well you adhere to God’s law and protocols.

A lot of times what happens is Christians will read a verse of Scripture but fail to put it into context. They completely miss the stipulations attached to what God’s Word is saying. For instance: Deuteronomy 28:13 states, “And the Lord will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them.”

This is a very familiar and powerful Bible verse; however, you will often hear people say “…the Lord will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath…” but they leave out the rest. The last part of this Scripture is the most important part because that is where you get the specification from. It states, “…if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them.”

The Lord is a man that He should never lie (Numbers 23:13), so He will honor what His Word says He will do if we follow the Scriptures correctly. The only way that we will have the ability to be the head and not the tail is if we make sure that we are taking heed to His commandments and are careful to remain mindful of them. In other words, they should never be underestimated or disregarded because they are extremely important in order for you to live a victorious life.

Look for conjunction words in the Scriptures. Words like: if, and, but, since, because, however, and therefore. These are so important because they are key indicators to let us know that there is something attached to that particular Bible verse that we need to pay really close attention to.

I am going to go over some of the basic details pertaining to understanding how God’s Spiritual laws actually work in our lives. What this will do is prevent the enemy from gaining legal access to wreak havoc!

Psalm 94:20

“Shall the throne of iniquity, which devises evil by law, Have fellowship with You?”

We often assume that God just wants to be strict or He just doesn’t want you to have fun. That is so far from the truth! His rules and regulations are put into place for our protection. As we can see in this Psalm, the Lord is making it very clear to us how the devil and his kingdom gain legal authority to create chaos in our lives. They have to get us to make the wrong choices and go against the law of God and will do anything they can to ensure that we do so.

The Lord gave every single one of us free will. What that means is that we have the choice to live a life serving Him or to live our lives however we want to disregarding what His rules and stipulations say. By doing that, we are serving the enemy by default. The Word of God is extremely clear in Matthew 12:30 “He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad.”

In other words if you are not following the Lord and His Word, you are against Him; there is no in between. There are only two kingdoms that you can serve. A lot of people are unknowingly giving the devil and his demons legal access to wreak havoc in their lives simply because they do not know how the spiritual realm operates. There are spiritual principles that govern everything. Just like how natural laws have a justice system, the Lord has His own legal system that every human being, the devil, and even God Himself must abide by.

View it as standing before a judge in a courtroom. The Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God is our Advocate (1 John 2:1) and the devil is the accuser (Revelation 12:10). The Lord is supporting us, vouching for us, and speaking on our behalf and the devil is accusing us, blaming us, and condemning us. If we’ve broken one of God’s laws and are found guilty of it, that is when the devil has the legal right to come into our lives and create destruction.

When we fail to adhere to the Lord’s rules and regulations outlined in God’s law that is how the enemy finds kinks in our armor. It is difficult to stand and have the power to come against the schemes of the devil if he has a legal right to establish strongholds in our lives.

God is extremely clear in Ephesians 5:11 when Paul states, “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.” The reason why this is so significant is because the Lord is letting us know some vital information: don’t dabble in the enemy’s devices. When you open the door, you cannot control what comes through.

Trust and believe me when I tell you, I did that very thing and gave the enemy access into my life, and I reaped the consequences in a severe way. That is one of the main reasons why the Lord has given me this blogsite to begin with; to warn anyone that will listen about the dangers of the devil and his demonic kingdom!

The great news is we have the Power and authority to trample on every one of the enemy’s schemes, Luke 10:19. The problem is in order to excel beyond his plot against your life, you have to be willing to live a consecrated life abiding by God’s Word!

Conclusion:

Make no mistake about it, the devil is here to steal, kill, and destroy by any means necessary. His number one target is a believer of Jesus Christ; he cannot stand any one of us. We are not to be ignorant of his devices, 2 Corinthians 2:11. Instead we need to have a full comprehension of what we can do to prevent him from having legal access to our lives.

Remember, the devil and his kingdom form their mischief by law (Psalm 94:20), meaning that they have legal rights to us when we break God’s Biblical rules and stipulations that He has laid out for us in the Scriptures. I cannot stress enough the importance of studying to show yourself approved (2 Timothy 2:15), because when God’s Truth is ingrained in you, it is hard for the devil’s lies to faze you!
