Teaching on Accusing Spirits
Pastor Caspar McCloud – Upper Room 2009
John writes so that we may not sin. And yet we have Jesus Christ going to bat for us before the Father at the times we do sin. In this teaching we look at the great blessing it is to have Jesus as our advocate. At the same time, we examine what John says is the Scriptural test for whether we really know Jesus or not.
Introduction: In chapter 7 we see Joshua and his men getting routed by the men of Ai because of the sin of one man Achan who coveted and kept devoted things from the previous exploits, against the specific command of God to not do so. This defeat follows a grand victory God had given the Israelites when the walls of Jericho collapsed and the entire city was destroyed and every living thing in that city was put to the sword by the Israelites.
Satan will try to get me away from being filled with the Spirit, by offering in my mind temptations which appeal to the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes or the pride of life.
What should I do when I am aware of temptations?
1. Look to Jesus Christ. Try to force the mind off the temptation by looking to the Lord and His Word.
2. Immediately seek to be filled with the Holy Spirit.
3. Endeavour, if possible, to flee temptation.
4. Pray for the Lord not to lead me into temptation.
5. Use spiritual weapons where possible – speak the Word, praise God etc.
6.
In previous lessons we have seen the importance of repentance from dead works and of faith. These two elements are the keys to receiving God’s salvation. We have also seen the importance of casting out demons as a key to wholeness in Christ. This lesson builds on these concepts and looks more specifically at the issue of overcoming sin, sanctification and how to live a holy life.

1. You must be truly born again! This takes place when God’s spirit convinces you of the reality of Jesus Christ and you respond to God, saying in effect, “Yes, I was wrong. I need you as my Savior and I want you as my Lord. I’m deeply sorry for the way I have lived without you. But now, I give my life to you. Come into me, Lord Jesus.” Without the foundation of a true born-again experience all attempts to break free of satanic influence are ultimately doomed.
A major part of spiritual warfare is resisting the devil’s enticement’s to compromise on God’s principles. We give the powers of darkness a definite advantage when we do anything that actually compromises the intimacy of our fellowship with God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, through the Holy Spirit. Worldliness is anything attitude or occupation that makes your heart just a little colder towards the Lord.
