INTRODUCTION:
Satanic affliction is any form of suffering, sickness, oppression, or hardship orchestrated by the devil to hinder a person’s progress and fulfilment of destiny. Many people suffer afflictions that cannot be explained medically or logically. However, through the power of God, every satanic affliction can be broken, and deliverance can be obtained. The Word of God assures us that affliction shall not rise a second time!
1. UNDERSTANDING SATANIC AFFLICTION
Affliction is one of the devil’s strategies to weaken, oppress, and frustrate believers.
- a) Satan is the author of affliction (John 10:10)
The devil seeks to steal, kill, and destroy lives. - b) Affliction can manifest in different areas (Exodus 3:7)
People can suffer affliction spiritually, physically, financially, or emotionally. - c) Satanic affliction can be prolonged (Luke 13:16)
Some afflictions last for years unless divine intervention comes. - d) Afflictions may come through open doors (Ecclesiastes 10:8)
Sin, disobedience, and ignorance can open doors to affliction. - e) Biblical Example: Job’s Affliction (Job 2:7)
Satan afflicted Job with boils, but God restored him.
2. SIGNS OF SATANIC AFFLICTION
Recognising affliction is the first step toward deliverance.
- a) Persistent sicknesses and diseases (Mark 5:25-26)
Some sicknesses defy medical treatment and explanation. - b) Strange setbacks and failures (Haggai 1:6)
When efforts produce no results, it may be an affliction. - c) Unusual family or generational problems (Lamentations 5:7)
When affliction runs through a lineage, it is spiritual. - d) Oppression through dreams and night attacks (Matthew 13:25)
Repeated demonic attacks in dreams indicate affliction. - e) Biblical Example: The Woman with the Spirit of Infirmity (Luke 13:11-13)
She was bent over for 18 years until Jesus healed her.
3. CAUSES OF SATANIC AFFLICTION
Satan cannot afflict a person without a reason.
- a) Sin and disobedience (Deuteronomy 28:15)
Sin opens doors for affliction. - b) Evil covenants and ancestral curses (Exodus 20:5)
Some afflictions are inherited from past generations. - c) Witchcraft and occult manipulations (Numbers 23:23)
Evil powers afflict those under satanic bondage. - d) Carelessness and ignorance (Hosea 4:6)
Lack of spiritual knowledge allows affliction to continue. - e) Biblical Example: King Saul’s Torment (1 Samuel 16:14)
His disobedience brought demonic affliction.
4. STEPS TO DELIVERANCE FROM SATANIC AFFLICTION
To be free from affliction, we must apply biblical principles.
- a) Repent and turn fully to God (2 Chronicles 7:14)
Confess and renounce any sin that opened doors to affliction. - b) Engage in warfare prayers and fasting (Matthew 17:21)
Some afflictions require aggressive spiritual battles. - c) Break every evil covenant and curse (Galatians 3:13)
Declare your freedom from generational afflictions. - d) Use the power in the Blood of Jesus (Revelation 12:11)
The Blood of Jesus is a weapon against satanic affliction. - e) Biblical Example: The Israelites’ Deliverance from Egypt (Exodus 12:13)
The blood of the lamb set them free from bondage.
5. MAINTAINING YOUR DELIVERANCE
Deliverance must be sustained by spiritual discipline.
- a) Live a holy life and avoid sin (1 John 5:18)
Holiness keeps affliction from returning. - b) Engage in daily prayer and Bible study (Joshua 1:8)
God’s Word strengthens spiritual immunity. - c) Stay connected to a spiritual covering (Hebrews 10:25)
Fellowship with strong believers helps maintain freedom. - d) Use your authority in Christ (Luke 10:19)
Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. - e) Biblical Example: Jesus’ Victory Over Satan (Matthew 4:10-11)
He overcame Satan by the Word of God.
