The Children’s Bread: Walking in Authority Over Demons


November 16,2025

Key Scriptures: Luke 11:20; Matthew 15:26–28; Mark 16:17

Jesus declared, “If I cast out devils by the finger of God, then the Kingdom of God has come upon you” (Luke 11:20). In the same breath He asked, “By whom do your children cast them out?”—revealing a profound truth: casting out demons is not reserved for spiritual elites; it is the inheritance of God’s children.

In Matthew 15:26, Jesus referred to deliverance as “the children’s bread.” Although He initially told the Syrophoenician woman that this bread was not for dogs, her humility and faith positioned her to receive what belonged to the household of God. Her sole desire was simple—that the demon tormenting her daughter be cast out. And Jesus granted it.

This raises a vital question for the church today:
Why are many believers afraid of demons and witchcraft?
Why have our prayers focused more on “killing demons” rather than exercising the authority Christ already gave us to cast them out (Mark 16:17)?

It seems many spend more time calling down fire in fear than commanding demons to leave in faith. Yet Jesus made deliverance as simple and natural for a believer as eating bread. It is our right. It is our inheritance. It is our responsibility.

The truth remains:

We are empowered by Christ (Luke 10:19).

We are seated with Him in authority (Ephesians 2:6).

We are not victims of darkness but victors over it (Colossians 1:13).

Therefore, the church must pray—not for more fear-driven warfare—
but for a fresh revelation of the power already available in Christ. We must arise with understanding, confidence, and authority, fully convinced that greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4).

No Room for Crawling: The Three Dimensions of Divine Progress

Image
November 2,2025 “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” — Isaiah 40:31 (KJV) In the agenda of the Lord for His people, there is no room for crawling. Every believer is designed to be in motion — to advance, grow, and ascend in the divine order of grace. The least a believer can do is walk, for the life of the Spirit has no provision for stagnation. Those who wait upon the Lord are not only renewed but are divinely empowered to operate in three progressive realms of movement — mounting up, running, and walking. Each dimension carries a distinct purpose yet leads to one destination: fruitful and victorious living in Christ. 1. Mounting Up with Wings as Eagles — The Realm of Dominion Waiting on the Lord brings you to a realm of spiritual elevation. You rise above earthly limitations and ascend into your heavenly position in Christ Jesus, seated abov...

The Breath of Life: Unleashing the Power of Meaningful Prayer

The Breath of Life: Unleashing the Power of Meaningful Prayer March 23,2025 1 Thessalonians 5:17, Luke 18:1-8, Matthew 6:5-15, Philippians 4:6-7 Prayer is one of the most essential modes of conversation between God and humanity, allowing us to express our hearts before our Maker. Prayer not only helps us navigate life's challenges but also empowers us to overcome spiritual battles. Unfortunately, many children of God struggle to engage in meaningful and effective prayer, leading to stagnancy in their spiritual journeys. While studying the Word, praising God, and giving tithes and offerings are all vital aspects of our spiritual lives, they cannot replace the importance of prayer. The Bible encourages us to "pray without ceasing" (1 Thessalonians 5:17), emphasizing the need for continuous communication with God. Prayer should become as natural as breathing, for without it, we may have ideas and plans, but lack the power to implement them. Jesus taught us to prioritize pray...

The Roll Call of Destiny: Ensuring Your Name is Written

The Roll Call of Destiny: Ensuring Your Name is Written March 19,2025 Matthew 10:1-42, Mark 3:13-19, Luke 6:12-16, 9:1-6 In Matthew 10:1-42, Jesus commissions His twelve disciples, empowering them to cast out unclean spirits, heal sicknesses, and diseases. The Bible emphasizes that Jesus "called His twelve disciples to Himself" and gave them authority over darkness (Matthew 10:1). The naming of the disciples in verse 2 is not a coincidence; it signifies a divine roll call, ensuring that each one is mature, ready, and accountable for the assignment. Perhaps you have struggled to exercise your authority in Christ because you're unsure if your name is on the list. You may feel timid, afraid, or silent, wondering if you are truly called and empowered for the task. However, those who are sent out by Jesus have their names written, and the darkness recognizes and trembles at their authority. The story of the seven sons of Sceva in Acts 19:11-16 illustrates the impor...
