“They said to him, ‘Thus says Hezekiah, This day is a day of distress, of rebuke, and of disgrace; children have come to the point of birth, and there is no strength to bring them forth. It may be that the Lord your God heard all the words of the Rabshakeh, whom his master the king of Assyria has sent to mock the living God, and will rebuke the words that the Lord your God has heard; therefore lift up your prayer for the remnant that is left.’ When the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah, Isaiah said to them, ‘Say to your master, ‘Thus says the Lord: Do not be afraid because of the words that you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have reviled me. Behold, I will put a spirit in him, so that he shall hear a rumor and return to his own land, and I will make him fall by the sword in his own land.’” (2 Kings 19:3-7 ESV)
You will have to admit that we are living in a very strange day. Satanic activity is increasing almost every day. More and more, witchcraft is being accepted by society as normal. We live in a day where evil abounds. We live in a day where the New Age movement has swept our country. You, now, constantly hear about channeling, witchcraft, sorcery and wizards. Evil people channeling up demonic spirit guides, and people paying $1000 a ticket to see some woman call up her demon so it could take her over and speak through her. Yes, it's a very strange and troubling day. Even church people are afraid to draw closer to God at times for fear of the devil attacking them.
But I have good news for you today. You don't have to be scared. As a matter of fact, you don't even have to worry. I am going to show you how to reverse a prophecy from the devil. In 2 Kings 19:6, Isaiah said, “be not afraid because of the words that you have heard.” There may be those of you reading this right now that has had the enemy whisper into your ears, telling you that certain things are going to happen. He's been telling you that you're going to lose your job. He's been telling you that you're going to go bankrupt. Telling you that because your mama or daddy has cancer or high blood pressure that you're going to get it to. Telling you that your marriage isn't going to work. Telling you that you can't be healed. Telling you that you can't receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Telling you that you can't make it to heaven. Whether you realize it or not, that is the enemy prophesying to you. He is trying to predict a word for your future.
We need to know how to reverse that word, or prophecy, from the devil. You need to know that when he tells you these things, there is no reason to fear. As a matter of fact, we had better not be afraid at all, because when you begin to fear that which is spoken over you in the negative, it can cause it to come to pass. Job found that out the hard way. Look at what Job 3:25 says, “For the thing which I greatly feared has come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.” Job was literally afraid of losing his possessions and family, and that was exactly what happened to him. When the enemy comes playing and toying with your mind, the greatest thing you have to be concerned with is fearing what he has spoken to you.
The worst thing that you can do is to hold on to that word the enemy gives you. Understand this. Do not listen to the enemy speaking into your thoughts and telling you things that are supposed to happen or that he predicts will happen to you. Because if you ever start believing the devil's prophecies, then that thing that you fear will come upon you. It opens up the door for the enemy to attack you and to try to destroy you by using his false prophecy against you. I want you to know, though, that there is a way to break that prophecy. There is a way to reverse it. There is an answer. And it is found in the power of our God’s Word itself. Greater is He that is within me than he that is within the world.
Has the devil given you a word lately? Has he told you you're going to lose your mind? Then why don't you turn to him and say, “how can I lose a mind that doesn't even belong to me? I have the mind of Christ.” Praise God! Be not afraid of the words which you have heard. God's saying, “I'm going to drive your enemies away.” God wants you to know that when your enemies come in against you, don't be afraid. He'll fight your battles for you. He will fight for you. He will reverse that prophecy.
Some might say, but I'm just so scared. I just don't know what to do. Well, quit being scared. “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and love, and of a sound mind.” If you want to reverse that prophecy, then get rid of your fear and put your trust in Jesus. When you put your trust in the Lord, you can reverse any prophecy.
Has the devil told you lately that you're going to die? Listen, how can you die when the Bible says “I shall not die, but live and declare the works of the Lord?” If you do die in the first place, you've won. The enemy hasn't won, you have. You just get to go to your heavenly home a little sooner. Has the enemy told you that you are going to get cancer.? Well, look at him and tell him, “I've already read the Book and it says, “with His stripes we were healed.” I've already read the Book that says, “I am the Lord that healeth thee.” Has the devil told you that your husband or your wife is going to be lost and go to hell? Has he told you that your kids are going to go to hell? Don't you believe him! The Word says in Act 16:31, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved and thy house.” The word is alive! And it can reverse any prophecy from the devil.
The devil is a liar and is the father of lies. When he comes to you and tells you that you're not saved, start rejoicing because you must be saved. If he tells you that you can't receive the Baptism of the Holy Ghost, start praising God, because you must be getting ready to receive it. When he tells you that you're not healed, start praising God, because you must already have your healing in the works. You can reverse a prophecy from the devil. You don't have to put up with his lies.
