Topic: THE WICKEDNESS OF SATANIC COUNTERATTACK
Text: Matthew 12:43-45
Minister: Dr. Daniel Olukoya (G.O. MFM Worldwide)

Unclean spirits do not go out of a person without a fight. It is when they come under fire and the place is no longer comfortable that they get out of the person.

Matthew 12:43 (KJV) says: “When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.”

It is from this scripture we see that demons get tired. You can keep wicked spirits under heavy bombardment attacks that they will get tired and get out.

• I decree by the decree of heaven that any power that does not want you to have rest shall lose their own rest, in the name of Jesus.

Matthew 12:44 (KJV) says, “Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.”

That is, he is launching a counterattack.

Matthew 12:45 (KJV) says: “Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.”

Here again, we learn that wickedness amongst spirits has levels. There are levels of wickedness. So when they want to launch a counterattack, the person lost only one demon, but now the demon goes to look for seven more wicked demons so that it will be harder to chase them away.

So the wickedness of this counterattack is that the position of the person will be worse. Meaning that maybe the person could have just let the one demon stay, because there are eight of them now troubling his life.

• I decree once again by the decree of heaven that any power troubling your Israel, the God of Elijah, shall trouble them, in the name of Jesus.

All true ministers of the gospel know about counterattacks. Many times the powers behind evil problems go back to the deliverance powers in a rage and shout, “What is your own? Why did you send us out?” They rage, and you need to learn how to wage war against these counterattacks. A kind of scenario of counterattack happens like this:

Demon 001 goes back to Lucifer and says, “I have lost my position.” Lucifer asks, “Who did this?” The demon replies, “Sister Deborah.”

While they are still discussing, demon 007 is back, and when Lucifer asks him the same thing, he replies that it is “Sister Deborah” responsible for sending him out.

While they are still discussing, demon 010 comes back, and when asked the same question, his reply is the same: “It is Sister Deborah”. What they will now do is to plan against Sister Deborah and launch a counterattack.

So the counterattack of darkness is a serious problem. This is the reason that in MFM, sometimes after service, we ask people to pray, “Every power that wants to attack me as a result of my prayers, die, in the name of Jesus.”

You cannot fire live bullets at the enemy and think he will fire blank bullets at you. Unto every new level of spiritual achievement, there is a new devil. We are faced with an enemy that is stubborn and does not go on sabbatical leave.

The Bible knows that the enemy is strong, so it says to you, “Be strong in the Lord.” The greater the level God is taking you, and the higher the anointing upon your life, the greater the counterattack.

Try and understand this very well. The enemy will always try to stage a second coming, and many lose their breakthroughs during this counterattack.

WHAT DO WE MEAN BY “COUNTERATTACK”?

• Retaliation.
• A fight back from the devil.
• The enemy challenging your victory.
• The enemy trying to retaliate.
• The enemy trying to capture his lost territory.
• A regrouping.
• A reinforcement.
• The bringing back of more wicked spirits to repossess a person.
• The enemy looking for open doors to re-enter. Herein lies the reason many lose their blessings.

WHEN DOES HE LAUNCH A COUNTERATTACK?

• When you have had a major breakthrough.
• When you have won a major battle.
• When you have disgraced a major satanic strong man.
• When your destiny is considered very risky.
• When you have just received a miracle that will announce you.
• When your enemy is aware that their final stronghold is about to be broken.
• When you attack a major demonic stronghold or when you minister deliverance to a strong satanic agent as a deliverance minister.
• When you challenge territorial powers.
• When he finds you dilly-dallying, not sure.
• When you are trying to dislodge ancestral powers troubling you.

Do these counterattacks succeed? Yes, they do. Why do they succeed?

• If you are living in any known sin.
• When you have very bad eating habits. You eat anywhere, at any time, and anything.
• Because of prayerlessness and carelessness.
• When you do not take the battle to the gate of the enemy.
• When your knowledge of the Bible is low. Many churchgoers have very low knowledge of scriptures.
• When you are disobedient to the Holy Spirit.
• When you do not like praising God.
• When your deliverance is incomplete.
• When your foundational bondage is still strongly in position.

The enemy launched a counterattack against Elijah and failed woefully. The enemy launched a counterattack against Saul and succeeded. The enemy launched a counterattack against Elisha and failed woefully. It is time to deal with these evil counterattacks.
