Demons try to choke you—or put you in a stranglehold. In the wrestling world, a stranglehold is an illegal hold that chokes the opponent. Merriam-Webster calls it a “force or influence that chokes or suppresses freedom of movement or expression.” If the wrestler doesn’t break free from the stranglehold, the lack of blood or air can cause him to black out. Translating this to our spiritual realities, the enemy wants to choke the Word of God out of your mouth so you can’t wield your sword of the Spirit or pray. The enemy wants to choke out the revelation of who you are in Christ and your authority over him.In Ephesians 6:12, you can see there are differing, broad categories of demon powers. Let’s start with principalities. The word “principality” comes from the Greek word arche. In Ephesians 6:12, principalities refer to “the first place, principality, rule, magistracy” and speaks of “angels and demons,” according to The King James Version (KJV) New Testament Greek Lexicon. Vine’s Expository Dictionary gives more insight, calling principalities “supramundane beings who exercise rule.”

 

Exouisa is the Greek word for “powers” in Ephesians 6:12. Our lexicon defines it as “the leading and more powerful among created beings superior to main, spiritual potentates.” Meanwhile, “ruler,” which comes from the Greek word kosmokrator, means “lord of the world, prince of this age,” and wickedness from the Greek.

 

Ponēria, which means unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, fornication, covetousness, and malice, is the Greek word for “wickedness” in this verse is. Merriam-Webster’s definition of malice is “a desire to cause pain, injury, or distress to another,” or “intent to commit an unlawful act or cause harm without legal justification or excuse.”

 

The Greek word kosmokrator is used to describe “rulers of the darkness of this world,” which means “lord of the world, prince of this age.” And darkness stems from Greek word skotos, which can mean darkness, like night darkness. However, in the context of Ephesians 6:12, it means “of ignorance respecting divine things and human duties, and the accompanying ungodliness and immorality, together with their consequent misery in hell.” It also means, “persons in whom darkness becomes visible and holds sway,” according to The KJV New Testament Greek Lexicon.

 

Our struggle is not just with demons in heavenly places. It’s also with demons in watery places. The good news is, you have authority over every demon power—on the earth, over the earth, and in the seas.

 

The Wonders Of Water In The Word

The Word of God speaks of the water of life, rivers of living water, passing through the waters, springs of waters unto eternal life. We find literal stories about water and important metaphors that are worth exploring as we seek to understand water spirits. The law of first mention—a principle that suggests the first place in Scripture a word or doctrine is found informs our understanding of God’s intent—is a strategic place to start our study.

 

The first time we see water mentioned in the Bible is in the second verse of Genesis. Genesis 1:2 tells us, “The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters.”

This is an especially telling verse in the context of the law of first mention. We see a spirit—the Spirit of God—moving over the surface of the waters. Given the enemy always works to counterfeit what God has done or is doing, we understand that demon spirits will move over the waters to combat God’s purposes and plans in the earth. This is the best case for marine demons—but it’s not the only one.Searching the Bible, we find Scriptures that connect water with both death and life. Isaiah 12:3 speaks of drawing water from the wells of salvation with joy. Jesus promised everyone who believes in Him would see rivers of living water flowing from His heart ( John 7:38). In Isaiah 43:2, God makes a beautiful promise: “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not overflow you….”God refers to Himself as “the fountain of living waters” in Jeremiah 2:13. We are baptized with water as a sign of being buried and resurrected to new life in Jesus (see 1 Peter 3:21). David spoke of God leading him beside quiet, or still, waters (see Psalm 23:2) and Paul talks of washing of the water with the Word (see Ephesians 5:26). We know Naaman dipped seven times in the Jordan River by the word of the prophet Elisha and was healed of his leprosy (see 2 Kings 5). In heaven, there’s a river of the water of life (see Revelation 22:1-2). These are just a few of the many Scriptures that speak of the life-giving, cleansing or healing power of water.Also enlightening as we set out to expose and defeat water spirits is the reality that water is a symbol of the Holy Spirit in Scripture. Jesus was speaking of the Spirit of God when He told the woman at the well, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again; but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life” (John 4:13-14).

 

Water archetypes paint vivid pictures through Scripture, including physical birth (see Genesis 1:20), purification (see Ezekiel 36:25; Hebrews 10:22), God’s help (see Isaiah 8:6); personal posterity (see Isaiah 48:1) and humankind’s purposes (see Proverbs 20:5).Water is overwhelmingly positive in Scripture, but water can also carry a negative connotation—including enemy attack. Second Samuel 22:17-18 tells us, “He sent from on high, He took me; He drew me out of many waters. He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me, for they were too strong for me.” Psalm 144:7-8 shares, “Stretch forth Your hand from on high; rescue me and deliver me out of great waters, out of the hand of aliens whose mouths speak deceit, and whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.”

 

And Psalm 124 reads:“Had it not been the Lord who was on our side,” let Israel now say, “Had it not been the Lord who was on our side when men rose up against us, then they would have swallowed us alive, when their anger was kindled against us; then the waters would have engulfed us the stream would have swept over our soul; then the raging waters would have swept over our soul.” Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us to be torn by their teeth. Our soul has escaped as a bird out of the snare of the trapper; the snare is broken and we have escaped. Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.”
