REBUKE THE SPIRIT OF DEVOURER
TEXT: 1 PETER 5:8-11
The Spirit of devourer can also be called the spirit of consumption. A demon or evil influence that seeks to destroy, consume, or devour an individual’s life, finances, relationship, marriage, career, ministry, education, and spiritual well-being.
The opening passage we read indicates that Christians must be vigilant because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion seeking for whom he may devour. Satan can catch those who are spiritually asleep or self-indulgent. He comes like a roaring lion; he is cowardly when facing faithful believers.
1 Thessalonians 5:6 says, “So let us not sleep as others do, but let us watch and be sober.” We have to be self-controlled and alert — sleeping people do not know what is going on or what is going to happen. Therefore, you need to be spiritually prepared to rebuke the devourer.
Malachi 3:11 — God says He will rebuke the devourer for our sake. We need to seek God’s guidance, pray, fast, and meditate on His word (Matt. 4:4).
PRAYER: Lord, I come against every devouring spirit hovering over me and my family. Amen.
