In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night.And the evening and the morning were the first day. Genesis 1:1-5

Introduction

The story of creation is an interesting one. There are many schools of thought with regards to what happened between verse 1 & 2 of our text. One of the views is that the devil fell between verse 1 & 2 which was why the earth was without form and void, and
darkness was upon the face of the deep and the Holy Spirit moved upon the face of the waters. It is important to note that the location of darkness was strategic and deliberate. Because the devil controlled the deep, he was able to unleash darkness upon the earth. I can therefore conclude that when God wanted to break the hold of darkness on the earth, He had to release light to displace darkness from the deep. When God released His Light into the deep, there was a co-existence of darkness and light, which was why God had to separate darkness from light. When God separated light from darkness He literally confined darkness into obscurity. We can relate this to our lives because before we gave our lives to Christ we were in darkness and possibly darkness had taken root in our deep. To be free from the influence of darkness we need to address the things in the deep of our lives which is where Satan plants darkness. There are families who have initiated their entire bloodline to satanic worship, which means that Satan controls the deep of the family and until the deep
issues are addressed, prayer remains superficial. What is in the deep of your family that you need to displace? Is it poverty? Is it cancer? Is it divorce? As you pray, God will displace darkness in your life in Jesus Name.

Prayer

Father, I speak the name of Jesus into the deep of my family and I declare that the darkness in my deep be displaced. I displace poverty, sickness, failure, delay and barrenness in Jesus name. I lose Satan's hold in the deep of my life and my family in Jesus Name
