Destined
to Overcome
by Paul Billheimer
The Problem
“Humanity is beset by a host of self-conscious evil spirit personalities
called demons who are responsible for much, if not most, of the personality
difficulties, complexities, spiritual pressures, strains and the aggravated
forms of evil that characterize our modern social order…
The Solution
“When once the technique of overcoming is understood, it can be used
effectively no matter what form the demon activity may assume. God’s method of
overcoming is specifically set forth in Revelation 12:11. After describing the war in
heaven and the expulsion of Satan and his angels into the earth, the writer
explains that in the warfare set up against the brethren as a result of Satan’s
expulsion, the victory was won by ‘the blood of the Lamb and the word of
their testimony.’...the Holy Spirit has handed to the discerning saint
weapons of supreme effectiveness in this spiritual warfare.
“When one understands that evil spirits are self-conscious personalities
who hear and see and feel and think, it becomes clear why the word of command
in the Name of Jesus is effective… be specific and call them by their names, to
command them in the Name of Jesus and upon the basis of the shed blood to go
back to the abyss and stay there… Authority is transmitted and made effective
only when you speak directly to them in the first person, always in the
Name of Jesus of Nazareth and upon the basis of the shed blood.”
Jesus Christ has delegated the enforcement of Calvary’s victory to
believers. Luke 10:19 and Matthew 16:18-19
Prayer is where
the action is!
“And the least-gifted, the least-endowed, the least-known person in the
world, by making prayer the main business of his life, may become greater in
God’s book than the most highly endowed, the most brilliant and the most famous
person in the world who fails to pray… God’s deepest secrets are reserved for
those who take time to wait upon the Lord, who take time to be alone with Him.
He has many secrets, many spiritual visions, many hidden revelations and
insights which will be shared only in long hours of waiting upon God in the
secret place of prayer… If we will not take time to be alone with God, we
forfeit the most priceless and invaluable secrets known to divine intelligence.”

writing about his own health. The following information has been passed on to

death.
