TOPIC: The Same Devil
SCRIPTURE READING: Revelations 12: 1-16
1 Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. 2 Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth.
3 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads. 4 His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born. 5 She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God and His throne. 6 Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days.
7 And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, 8 but they [a]did not prevail, nor was a place found for [b]them in heaven any longer. 9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. 12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.”
13 Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child. 14 But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. 15 So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. 16 But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth.
FOCUS VERSE: “And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.” (Revelations 12: 3)

Our Focal Scripture makes mention of a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns. This dragon was later identified as the devil, and Satan. So, despite having seven heads and ten horns, it was the same devil with his same strategies. Despite having what seemed like differing manifestations, it was the same Satan. The hydra-headedness of the dragon didn’t change the fact that it was the same being with same mode of operation.
Friend, no matter how hydra-headed the enemy manifests, it is the same enemy with his strategies. Whether the enemy manifests in your family or marriage or finances or health or business or ministry, he is the same enemy who is said to be going about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. No matter how the enemy manifests, he is the same that shows up to steal, kill and destroy. The multiplicity of satanic manifestations does not change the fact that it is the same devil.
In Luke 10 vs. 19, Jesus says, “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you”. If you have embraced the redemptive work of Christ, then you have power to trample upon snakes and scorpions and dragons and over every power of the enemy. No matter the strategy of the enemy, your assignment is to resist him and he will flee from you.
If Christ has redeemed you, then you have an assignment to crush every work of the enemy. Arise and cut short every satanic machination that is against you. Arise in prayers against the hand of the enemy that is stretched against you. Wherever there is a seat of satan around you, stretch forth the sword of the Lord and cut it down. No matter the diversity of the manifestation of the enemy, cut it short before it blossoms.
Don’t let the enemy confuse you with seven heads. If he arises like a flood, then arise and resist him. If the enemy arises, use the power of God at work in you to counter the enemy.
James 4: 7 says: “…Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”
DECLARATION: No matter the manifestation of the enemy, he will go down under my watch, in Jesus’ name!
