SPIRITUAL IMMUNITY

HEBREWS 10:25

INRODUCTION

Immunity is the state whereby certain things cannot harm you. It is having an internal defense. Many Christians wonder why they are always attacked and the attacks succeed. There are others who don’t seem to see any attack, nothing seems to touch them. The difference depends on the principle of Spiritual Immunity. Believers are meant to be   immune to certain things but lack of knowledge kills people prematurely. We need to know what we have as a result of our being born again. We need to worship the Lord, spend time with God everyday. Need to attend church services regularly (Heb.10:25),- we need to give to God our tithes and offering so that He will open the windows of heaven and pour down blessings upon us. We need to witness to others, live Holy Lives.

Let us Learn:-

I.  YOU NEED TO KNOW WHO YOU ARE .

• Talking about Spiritual Immunity, the first thing is to know your identity.
• If you don’t know who you are, you cannot know what to do with immunity.
• When there is an out break of disease it is good to know if you are inoculated against the disease.
• John the Baptist knew who he was, when they asked him, (John 1:22-23)
• Jacob learnt the hard way about identity, his name was not in the place of blessing (Gen.27).
• Elijah knew that he was a “ Man of God”
• Therefore he could call fire down.
• Satan would want us to doubt our identity. He told Jesus “if you are the Son of God”.

II.   WHO ARE YOU ?

• Jesus Christ was always confessing who He was.
• Jesus said “I am the way, the truth and the life” (John 14:6)
• “ I am the bread of life” I am Alpha and Omega”.
• If you are saved, you are a branch (John 15:5) you are a new creature (2 cor.5:17), you are God’s workmanship (Eph.2:10)
• There is therefore no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus. (Rom.8:1)
• Know your rights as a child of God.
• Stand your ground like Elijah who said “If I be servant of the Most High God, let fire fall”
• John the Baptist said “I am not Elijah, I am not that prophet, I am a Voice crying in the wilderness, follow the way of the Lord, Make His path straight”.
• When you know who you are, your confidence in God would be settled in your spirit.

III. IMMUNITY SCRIPTURES

IV.   WAYS OF BREAKING DOWN ONE’S IMMUNITY.

1. Repaying evil with evil (Rom.12:21)
2. When you refuse to accept responsibility for your faults.
3. When we fail to forgive those who have hurt you (Mark 11:25)
4. When you don’t allow God to fight for you.
5. When you are selfish and when you practice any willful sin.

V.  STRATEGIES TO MAINTAIN SPIRITUAL IMMUNITY.

1. Your blood must be immunized (Leviticus 17:11)
2. Your bones– God is a keeper of bones (Psalm 34:19-20)
3. Your skin – God will keep your skin
4. Always lay your hands on your head when you pray– You can also anoint yourself.
5. The Home- (Deuteronomy 7:26)

• Bewitched decoration materials, jewelry, curved images etc. can put you in bondage.
• Occult materials will compromise your immunity.
• Your house could become a traffic of demons because you have their property.
