Exposing Satan's Playbook The Perry Stone

the wings of the ark of the covenant, communing yearly with the high priest on the Day of Atonement. The believer’s spirit is off limits to the intrusion of Satanic or demonic forces as long as the believer maintains covenant with God. The believer’s mind is linked to the inner court, where the menorah illuminates the atmosphere, the smoke of prayers arise off the golden altar of incense, and the table of showbread feeds the soul (mind) from the Word of God. In this chamber there is a daily renewal of oil for the menorah, as the old wicks are replaced with new, and fresh oil is poured into the seven golden cups. There is incense on the golden altar in the morning and evening—a picture of the prayer life of a believer. The bread is replaced each Sabbath with fresh bread—just as believers must receive a fresh word from the Lord each Sabbath! The mind must be renewed from the fiery darts (carnal and negative thoughts) of the enemy (Eph. 6:16). Satan does not possess the mind of any true believer but has access to send from the outside thoughts, ideas, and imaginations that must be cast down; thus the daily need to renew the mind. The outer court is the area of the body, and the brass altar and laver are the two main pieces of furniture in this area. This is also the area where the common Israelite can walk, and, in the Bible, the area where Satan stood at the altar to resist the high priest (Zech. 3:1–2). This court of the temple is parallel to the physical body. As stated, spirits of infirmity and sickness can attack the body of a believer, but they can also be expelled through the believer or an anointed minister exercising spiritual authority
