ARE YOU ASKING "WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?" - Part 2 Volume 2 In our difficult times, we tend to make inner vows as a means to protect ourselves. Making vows is also allowing demonic alliances to “help” us. Taking hands with any other spirit is allowing ourselves to be clothed with it. We put it on. For example: Anger. If we respond in anger and keep anger, thinking it protects us from unfair treatments or whatever, we clothe ourselves with it. It then becomes like an armor of satan that we put on. And not the armor of God. We need to renounce any spirit we have allowed to be an alliance for us. Spirits of offense; anger; rage; bitterness; pride; isolation; distrust; rebellion; etc. The list can go on and on. Satan and his devils will stay until we evict them! Renounce them, and desire nothing else to protect you but the Holy Spirit. As much as it looks like these demons are giving us protection, it is costing us more than we actually realize. Demons have characteristics and personalities; whatever is not Christ-like must leave. Scripture Romans 6: 21 We are called by God to love what He loves, and hate what He hates. Most of our alliances are formed by something that was an attack upon our identity, in a time where we weren’t secure of who we are in Christ. So in order to protect our worth, we took hands with demonic alliances in our lack of knowledge.
