Not all bad things
happen to us because of the Demonic. Sometimes we just trip and fall because of
being clumsy, or we get sick with the flu, or God takes a family member home
unexpectedly. We should strive to live our lives on the straight and narrow and
vested in God’s plan for us; Pray, read Bible, walk the Christian life as
examples. However, I strongly believe that all the recent natural disasters
across our country are happening because we as a nation have left God out of
our lives. No school prayers, no God on our currency, empty pews, increases in
the Spiritualism realm, etc. We reap what we sow as individuals as well as
nations.
Deliverance Ministry
consists of three main parts: Destroying any strongholds, removing legal
rights, and casting out any remaining demons. If you try to remove the first
two and the person has not made the decision to deal with it and repent, you
cannot achieve 100% deliverance.
STRONGHOLDS are a false
thinking pattern based on lies and deception. As an example that has happened
with me thinking I have to ask forgiveness from everybody I have ever wronged.
Guilt sets in and we know how that feels. It is impossible to remember everyone
in a lifetime of whom we have wronged. Satan loves to use guilt in our lives,
therefore if you truly want to be liberated Confess to Jesus Christ and Repent.
A LEGAL RIGHT is
something that gives demons the opportunity to enter your life. When a person
allows unholy thoughts to enter our mind it can open the opportunity to a demon
of lust, which could lead a person to commit adultery. The demonic tempts us to
think the wrong thing then when we accept it and make it a habit it opens the
door for the devil to move in further. If we continue down this path, we open
more gates to the demonic and we can commit lust, adultery, and even rape
because the feelings and desires pushed on us become irresistible.
The following is a
partial list of strongholds:
· Stronghold of Whoredoms; Pornography,
Fornication, Materialism, Love of Self…Read Hosea 5:4
· Stronghold of Lying; Deception, Gossip,
Profanity, Lies, stealing, cheating…II Chronicles 18:22
· Stronghold of Jealousy; Jealousy, Envy, Bigotry,
Revenge, Cruelty…Proverbs 6:34
· Stronghold of Haughtiness; Arrogance, Pride,
Rebellion, Vain, Scornful, Self-righteous…Proverbs 16:18
· Stronghold of Familiar Spirit; Divination,
Abortion, Mediums, Spirit Guides, Yoga, Hypnosis…Leviticus 19:31
· Stronghold of Error; False Doctrines, Twisting
Scripture, Suicide, New Age Movement…1 John 4:6
· Stronghold of Bondage; Addictions, Compulsive
Behavior, Idolatry, Insecurity…Romans 8:15
· Stronghold of Anti-Christ; Heresy, Idolatry,
Anti-Christian, Secular humanism…1 John 4:3
If this all sounds
familiar to you in your daily life, it is never too late to do something about
it. First, if you are an unbeliever of God then you must accept him as your
personal savior! (John 3:16) “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”(John 1:12) “But as many as received him, to them gave the
power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.”
Secondly, you need to
repent! Verbally confess and apologize of your sins that have given the demonic
entrance in to your life. Pray and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal any sins
(including hidden sins) that are in you. (1 John 1:9 tells us to
confess our sins. If we do not confess our sins and instead we hide them from
God, it leaves that sin remaining in our lives.
For those that carry out
Deliverance ministry, do not cleanse any home of an unbeliever or for someone
who does not want to come clean with sin in their life, unless the Holy Spirit
leads you to. Remember you will be leaving and going home. They on the other
hand will have to deal with any demonic on their own and the devil’s minions
can and will be amplified at least “seven times” according to scripture. (Matthew
12:43-45) “When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry
places, seeking rest, and findeth none. Then he saith, I will return into
my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty,
swept, and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in
and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even
so shall it be also unto this wicked generation”.
