Did You Know You Have Spiritual Immunity?

Many Christians have never heard of the Holy Spirit, and if they have, they only know of Him as “the One who seals” their salvation. Because of this lack of knowledge of who the Holy Spirit is and what He does, many people perish due to spiritual activity they have no awareness of and do not exercise authority over.

1 And it happened, while Apollos was at Corinth, that Paul, having passed through the upper regions, came to Ephesus. And finding some disciples 2 he said to them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" So they said to him, "We have not so much as heard whether there is a Holy Spirit." 3 And he said to them, "Into what then were you baptized?" So they said, "Into John's baptism." - Act 19:1-3 NKJV

When John the Baptizer was alive, he baptized many people into a baptism of repentance and preparation for the Lord Jesus Christ to come.  However, they were not baptized in Jesus Christ.  So, when Paul came upon this group of men, he discerned they had not yet been introduced to Jesus through His Spirit.

Paul taught them about the Holy Spirit, and they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then Paul laid hands on them, and the Holy Spirit came upon them. They spoke with tongues and prophesied.

Throughout the scriptures, we see the activity of the Spirit of the Lord, from the creation of the earth to Christ's resurrection and His return. All Spiritual things are done through the Holy Spirit. He is the power of God in demonstration.

We can see the Holy Spirit in the life of Jesus. 

Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, 2 being tempted for forty days by the devil.  And in those days He ate nothing, and afterward, when they had ended, He was hungry.  3 And the devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.”    - Luke 4:1-2

Jesus was getting ready to end His 40 days in the wilderness when Satan came upon the scene to try to derail the plans of God.  Using Jesus’ weakness from hunger, Satan tried to tempt Jesus to do it His way. 

Saying, just use Your power to turn this stone to bread and You can end Your suffering.  He went on to tempt Jesus in other areas, such as wealth and fame, but Jesus continuously turned to the words of God, and eventually, Jesus told Satan to leave.

When the devil had finished every temptation, he left Him until an opportune time.  – Luke 1:13

How did Jesus resist Satan so easily?

Jesus had nothing in common with Satan.  He relied on His Father’s Spirit to help Him in any times of weakness.  Remember, Jesus was fully human and fully God.  We are fully human with God in us.  There is a difference, but we still have the same power that worked in Christ to raise Him from the dead, working in us to raise us from the death of sin.

Jesus knew who He was.  He knew who His Father was.  He did not question it, nor did He permit His humanness to control Him.

Detaching from worldly attachments is a divine act where God's purpose for a person is realized according to the plan He set forth before their birth.

Here’s what Jesus says about your worldly attachments.

Your pride – put it on the Cross.  I come to the humble, and I resist the prideful.

Your selfish ambition and desire to be seen – put it on the Cross.  I came as uncomely, common, and disregarded.  I was of no reputation.  My global popularity came after My death.

Your identity in this world – lay it down.  Satan rules this world, and I have nothing in common with Him.  The world hated Me, and it will hate you as well.

Idols of your heart – destroy them.  The Father, God of the universe, despises idolatry.  Everything you put before Him is an idol.  If you love Me, you will keep My commands.

Perversion – kill it.  Everything that distorts the truth about who Jesus is must be destroyed.

            Sexual sin, pornography, lust, and such things are all diversions and distractions that lead to destruction. 

Holiness – pick it up.  Choose to be holy because I Am holy.  I have set you apart for greatness according to My kingdom and not man’s.  What looks like it is of little importance might be the most significant thing you have ever done. 

If you have received the Holy Spirit through salvation, you are spiritually immune to death and destruction.
