       How do we overcome the spirit of slavery? I have two pieces of advice for you. One is that at the moment we recognize a demon is lying to us, we need to dispel that lie with a verse or passage from God’s Word. It’s that simple. I’m sure you can recall the movie from the mid-1980s called Gremlins. I think a lot of us have seen this holiday classic. For us if we don’t confront demons, it’s like we let the Gremlins loose in our minds and they reap havoc. In the movie, flashing a bright light in their face disoriented them and caused them to move back. This is like speaking God’s Word to an evil thought (which is brought about by a demon). You have to kill a gremlin to prevent his destruction; so, you have to vaporize an evil thought so that it cannot cause destruction. And if a demon insinuates something to us, like that a particular person really doesn’t like us for instance, and we’re not certain of the reality of the situation, we need to believe the best in that situation. That’s how we combat that.
