CONSENT

"AND THAT THEY MAY COME TO THEIR SENSES AND ESCAPE THE SNARE OF THE DEVIL, having been taken CAPTIVE BY HIM [the devil] TO DO HIS WILL."
2 Timothy 2:26 (NKJV)

• The consent of an individual whom God wanted to work with or through is needed If anything would be done.

• As it is with God using someone for a purpose, so also it is with whoever yielded himself or herself to the devil, such a person was not forced to do it. The devil cannot force anyone against his or her will. Likewise God would not force anyone against his or her will.
• Whatever God would do in or through the life of anyone, It has to be through the agreement of the person. If the person does not consent to it, It would not be done.

• Those who are satanists, and those who are being used to perpetrate evil by the devil, they yielded or gave their consent before the devil could use them as instruments to do his will or bidding (2 Timothy 2:26).

• No one is being used as an instrument in the hand of the devil against his or her own will. The person does know about it, he or she is fully aware of whatever they are doing.
• Humans have the right to agree, consent or yield to God or the devil. All depends on the individual choice or decision.

• God would need the cooperation of the person who He intended to use for a particular purpose; whatever may be the thing He wanted to do through such a person's life.

• God would need your cooperation in whatever He wanted to do in or through your life. Until your consent is given to God on the matters or issues of your life, He would not be able to do much.
• Have you allowed God lately?
  If you already had your own plan that is rigidly scheduled or programmed to be followed, God would not bother to change it, except you come to Him and surrender It to Him and you are willing to embrace His own plan or will for your life. God will not force anything on you as per the matters of your life.

• Although, there are some people who ignorantly give their consent to the devil and he became the lord of their life, began to rule over them and use their spirit to do evil.

• If someone falls in this category of those who are ignorantly deceived into the snare of the devil; If such however comes to the knowledge of Christ Jesus, such would be made free.
• The first step to a person's deliverance from the hold of the devil is the willingness to be free. If someone is not willing to be free, If such sees the demons operating with or through them as an asset; they would remain in their position and would not want the demons to go.
• Even if the person is ministered to under the anointing of the Holy Spirit and the demons in him or her are exorcised, such would still receive or welcome the demons back when they come back to check out on him or her—if such a person is not willing to be free completely yet (Luke 11:24).

• Human consent or approval is powerful in which without it, no spirit being can operate through someone without the yielding of the person's consent.

• The spirit that would be operational in a person's life is determined by and large by the person through his or her yieldableness or the giving of their consent—agreement or approval.
• This is why no one is being used to manifest or demonstrate or operate any spiritual power without his or her own agreement. Though consent could be given through ignorance—being deceived into it—but since the person has given his or her consent or approval, It is considered legal.
• Adam and eve gave their consent or approval to the serpent, the devil, through deception—they were deceived into it—nevertheless, their authority was immediately transferred or given to the devil (Genesis 3:1-7; 1 Timothy 2:14).
  It was considered legal because they consciously did it, though they were deceived into it, but It was considered legal anyway.
• Whichever supernatural power that would work or operate in or through your life, or the one already working in your life, could only be in operation in your life through your consent or approval (1 Corinthians 14:32).
• Whoever is attacking others with demonic power knows what he or she is doing, the devil would not use you to do or perpetrate evil without your knowing. The devil may be using someone against his or her will, but the initial will or consent or approval or go-ahead must have been given by the person before the devil or the demon or the evil spirit operating through him or her could have an access to their life.

• You will not fail in Jesus' name.
Should there be any ailment in your body, receive your healing now in Jesus' name.

• The affliction will not rise the second time in Jesus' mighty name.

STEPS TO SALVATION
• Take notice of this:
IF you are yet to take the step of salvation, that is, yet to be born-again, do it now, tomorrow might be too late (2 Corinthians 6:1,2; Hebrews 3:7,8,15).
a. Acknowledge that you are a sinner and confess your Sins (1 John 1:9); And ask Jesus Christ to come into your life (Revelation 3:20).
b. Confess that you believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is Lord, and that you confess it with your mouth, thus, you accept Him As your Lord and Saviour (Romans 10:9,10).
c. As you took the steps A and B your name is written in the Book of Life (Philippians 4:3; Revelation 3:8).

• If you took the steps As highlighted above, congratulations, It means you are saved—born-again. Join a Word based church in your area and Town or city, and be part of whatever they are doing there. Peace!
