Talk and demonstrate your word
Do you want to hammer the devil on the head? Match on him or even throw him to the abyss? It may sound foolish, but only to the carnal man. 1 Corinthians 2:14. The power is in your hands. You have been giving the authority to do so and gain a total victory over your enemies. Talk and demonstrate your word is an act of putting what you say during your prayer time into action or show; you imagine it, you say it, and you demonstrate it, simple! In other words, it is about commanding the devil and his forces by using an appropriate word and expression to get them submitted to your will. When we are praying, it is better we combine God’s word with ours by quoting scriptures that are related to the issue at hand and act accordingly. For example, Paul says, “And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet short.” Rom. 16:20. We know that Satan has already been bruised under our feet. Now, we have to show this during prayer time by matching our feet on the ground while imagining that we are bruising the devil. This is one of the most effective ways of winning our spiritual battles.
Imagination
It is the ability to see the whole picture of something or somebody in the mind before it comes to reality. It is very relevant in the things of the spirit. We ought to imagine how our enemies should be dealt with, say it out, and demonstrate it accordingly. Imagination is power, and this power has been given to humans by God. Everything we are seeing today did not just come out on their own; either God or man brought them into existence. God imagined them, spoke the word, and they came to be. Man also imagines or sees it in the mind and brings it into reality. Gen. 11:6 & Hebrews 11:3. There is absolutely nothing in this life that was not born out of imagination. It is the bedrock of invention and creativity. First see the picture in your mind and follow it up accordingly, and it will soon become a reality.
Similarly, in spiritual things, when we imagine how our enemies should be dealt with and demonstrate it, it will surely transcend into a spiritual realm and become a reality. Every spiritual element is operating on the principles of imagination, combination of words, and demonstration to bring their will to manifestation in the physical world. So, following these principles will help us a lot to counter the powers of darkness, control our own world, and fulfil our destinies.
Power of the spoken word
There is no doubt that there is power in the spoken word. Remember that God used it in creation Genesis 1. As said, a combination of Gods word with ours will give an outstanding result. Sorcerers, magicians, native doctors, occults, etc. have been using the power of imagination, words, and demonstration to command their forces to work according to their will. For example, in Isaiah 8:9–10, the Bible says something about speaking the word, which reveals how our enemies have been utilising it for destruction. All their manipulations can only be activated by a combination of words and demonstration. But God is with us. He says there shall be no enchantment and divination against us, Number 23:23.
Biblical example
Thereis truly power in talking and demonstrating your word. If you go through the Bible, you will see that many prophets of God only demonstrated their message as they delivered it and eventually came to pass. In other words, they used symbolism to express the main content of their message. Jesus did this during his earthly ministry. He said it and demonstrated it as well. The man was blind from birth. Jesus anointed his eyes with clay and told him to go and wash in the pool of siloam. And the man did so and became healed. John 9:5-7.
Casting and binding
Casting and binding the devil and his forces has been very common among the pentecostal believers, and it is expected to be more common, especially in this end time where the battle is intensifying. However, when casting the devil, we are to send him to his final destination, where he cannot come again. Remember that we have been given authority that whatever we bind on the earth is equally bind in heaven. Matt. 16:19. The word is in our mouth, and we are to speak and show it to confirm our faith. Many people just say an open word to the devil without closing it. For example, a believer will say, Devil, I bind you! I cast you out! Is that all? No! That is not enough! You have to cast him, bind him, and send him to the abyss in the name of Jesus. Read what happened in Gérardennes. Jesus finally sent those demons into the pigs as they requested, and they perished there. Matt. 8:28-34. Many believers often engage themselves in prayer of request and never attempt a war fare prayer, probably because of fear or ignorance. God has already given us everything pertaining to life and godliness, but it is the devil who has not been allowing those things to come to us on time. 2 Peter 1:3. For this reason, there is a need for us to engage ourselves fully in spiritual warfare to break away those strongholds. 2 Corinthians 10:4-5.
Talk and demonstrate your word should not only be done when we are praying. It should be our daily confession and taking of a corresponding action. If you are challenged by any ailment, stand up and demonstrate your healing, restoration, and glory! And this will attract a heavenly response to your situation if you do it faithfully (Genesis 22:15-16).
In conclusion
Just imagine it, say it, and demonstrate your word, and it will surely become a reality for you, Mark 11:23-24. However, everything we do, let it be done in the spirit of gentleness and orderliness, not to the disturbance of others, so that in the end, glory will be to God.
