Topic: Spiritual
Immunity - Introduction
Greetings Sons of God:
Have we ever considered why do we see or why do we
experience so many attacks in the spirit?
Why is it that Jesus seemed to not been affected by demonic attack? Now understand that we are to be like Him.
Jesus dealt with demons with the authority the Father gave Him so I am not
talking about be completely oblivious to demons because that would be
ridiculous considering we are told in Ephesians 6 that we wrestle with
spiritual wickedness, forces and principalities in high places. Considering the way Jesus walked in the
Earth, is there a place or a position that we can walk that gives us spiritual
immunity? Let us search the Scriptures:
Job 28:7,8: There is
a path which no fowl knoweth and which the vulture’s eye hath not seen: The lion’s welps have not trodden it, nor the
fierce lion passed by it.
One of the great mysteries and teaching concepts the Lord
uses that we miss is metaphoric language.
Believe it or not you have seen this language before but may not have
connected the dots but in order to understand Spiritual Immunity, God locks
this up in metaphoric language. Let me
show you this because there can be no mistake about what God is saying and the
Scriptures will confirm it.
Examining Job 28:7,8 fowls and vultures are predatory
birds. Unclean or predatory birds are a
picture of demons. Now let’s prove this
using Scripture:
1. Revelation 18:2: And he cried
mightily with a strong voice saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen,
and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit and a
cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
2. Matthew 13:4,19: And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way
side and the fowls came and devoured them up;
19-When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it
not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his
heart. This is he which received seed by
the way side.
In verse 8 it speaks of the lion’s welps nor the fierce
lion. Some would say this could be
talking about Jesus because He is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah but if you
read the context of the entire passage we will clearly see the answer is
no. But also lion is a picture of the
devil.
1. 1 Peter 5:8: Be sober, be vigilant because your adversary
the devil as a roaring lion walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.
So we must understand when God is using plain language or
metaphoric language and Job 28:7,8 is in metaphoric language. Now let’s look at it understanding the metaphors. There is a path that the demons do not know,
nor have they seen. In turn, the demons
have not walked it nor passed by it. So
there is a path that we as the sons of God can walk that will give us immunity
from demons. To the oppressed this is some
of the best news but you have to read the entire passage for understanding of
how to access this “path”. Let me give you a word of encouragement if you think
this sounds impossible:
Jesus Christ walked this path! How do we know? When you study the Gospels noticed Jesus
“appeared” immune to demonic attack. Oh
when he encountered demons he exercised the authority the Father gave Him to
send them or cast them out of people. No
demon could touch him because He walked the path of spiritual immunity. If Jesus Christ could walk this path and He
is our example of who we are to become then we also have access to this
path. Before we reveal this path in the
next message we will continue to look at Job 28 and examine more metaphoric
language to show even then there was a search for this path. I urge you to stay with us and study with
us.
Peace, Love and Grace,
Calvin Calhoun, Jr.
