That angel's first responsibility was to protect you, and to see to it that in the process of time, you heard and received the Gospel for your salvation. But as you progress in life, depending on the calling of God upon your life, and the things He's assigned you to do, He allocates more angels to you.

 

Conversely, Satan also has demons whose primary responsibility is to devour, destroy, deceive and to lure people away from the path of righteousness right from when they're born.

 

The Bible tells us about the woman who was about to deliver a child - a male child - in the Book of Revelation, and Satan was there waiting to devour the child, right from the time of birth (Revelation 12:4-5).

 

This wasn't peculiar to that child; God is just showing us Satan's modus operandi. So, just because you're serving the Lord doesn't mean Satan is in good terms with you.

 

It doesn't make him your friend. That's why you must deal with him. The Lord Jesus shows us just how to deal with Satan; He said to cast him out! Every Christian has the ability and authority in Christ to cast out devils (Mark 16:17).

 

Therefore, it's not a question of how "strong" or "spiritual" you are; the Lord Jesus has given you His own authority. You have the power of attorney to use His Name against Satan and the cohorts of darkness.

 

When you say, "Devil, get out of here in the Name of Jesus", he's got no option but to flee. Don't give him the liberty to run things in your life, or in your home or in the lives of your loved ones. Don't give him that chance; shut him up! Cast him out in the Name of Jesus and he'll flee!
