Intro:  Palm Sunday and the battle nears its climax

“Don’t give the devil an opportunity” Ephesians 4:27

“Spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places” Ephesians 6:12

“Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, who accuses them before our God day and night. And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even to death.”    Revelation 12:10-11

“In the Name and authority of the Lord Jesus Christ, whose blood covers my sin, the One who is now seated at the right hand of the Majesty in glory, who is coming again to judge and reign, In Jesus’ Name I rebuke you Satan. Minions of hell of any rank, power, or authority, I command you to leave me alone, spiritually, mentally, emotionally, physically; my circumstances, my family, my friends; I claim myself and these loved ones for the purposes and glory of Jesus Christ. Only the Spirit of holiness, through the Lord Jesus Christ, has permission to rule and reign and influence me and these loved ones.  I commit and submit myself entirely to the Triune God, Father, Son, and Spirit.”
