When Jesus Intervenes

Upon being verbally assaulted by a demon-possessed man, Jesus said to the demon, “Be silent and come out of him!” (Luke 4:35, ESV). At that, the demon threw the man down and came out of him without hurting him further.

What would it be like today to have faith to believe that your marriage could not be damaged any further? What would it be like for you to believe that your children who are far from God could come back to the Lord and know him?

I have seen the truth of this text become reality, and I want to tell you that the same can happen for you. I was at the edge emotionally because of my prodigal son. He had left home, fallen into drugs, and was living on the streets. He was wild and rebellious, but deep down, he had a good heart, and I knew God had a calling on his life.

I began to pray these things: “Holy Spirit, step in and intervene on behalf of my prodigal son. Oh, Holy Spirit, wherever he is right now, cut short the plans of the enemy because I know that he’s called to victory after victory. Lord, destroy the work of the enemy.”

Then my prodigal came home! Jesus intervened in his life, and today my son is a changed man. He’s serving God, and he’s totally changed! He has joy, confidence, boldness, and a vision for his future. Why? Because Jesus got involved, and he destroyed the enemy’s plans.

Friend, the good news is that Jesus wants to take what is planned against you and destroy it so that it cannot harm you any further. Pray and know he can do that for you today!
