Deliverance - Spiritual Housecleaning



Freedom 1 here and now we're finally to the subject of deliverance, and now I'm going to tell you everything….

I know I've kept you waiting long enough, but what we've been doing here is what I like to call 'responsible deliverance'. In every age, when God does a new thing, we have to understand that we all as a church body are given a new 'talent' or 'new revelation' of the Kingdom of God…. and then we have to take what we are given and then bring forth more. We cannot hang onto the old thing and bury it in the ground; we must launch forth from that revelation into the next.

The problem with humans is that we get lazy and begin to go after the 'pill' or the formula instead of meeting with the doctor (Jesus). We like to slam some money down and have someone do everything for us, so we don't have to be real with our own sin.
1Samuel 8:7 The LORD said to Samuel, "Listen to the voice of the people in regard to all that they say to you, for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me from being king over them."
Deliverance will work as it's performed, but the 'why' isn't taught like it should be.... sheep are not cared for like they should be.... and the people perish for lack of knowledge, as the demons come back, the struggle is even harder because now their faith is bruised because the 'King' they set up over themselves did not fix their problem.
Mat 12:45a "Then it goes and takes along with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first…"
I hope you paid attention to the last video in the series, A Testimony of Deliverance, Derek Prince - Spiritual Housecleaning. Derek's deliverance prayer was very simple:

Reenactment of prayer:

"Lord, You've shown me that I have been oppressed by a spirit of heaviness, but You have promised in Your Word that if I call on Your name, I shall be delivered. So I'm calling on You now to deliver me, in the name of Jesus!"

It is important to note, Derek was a minister in a denomination that didn't do 'deliverance'. He spent his time examining himself, and in seeing that he wasn't aligning with the Word, he cried out. In crying out, God revealed to him the problem, and then Derek clung to the Word of God.

It comes back to childlike simplicity… because we're not under a law, we're IN a relationship.
Luke 18:17 "Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all."
Kids love to solve a 'mystery'… so like a child, I hope you've gone through all the videos in the series to uncover the sources of access. Doing it this way (the long way) helps you identify what all you are dealing with and the 'why'--- which is very important for being sure we hit alllll the associated spirits that deliverance lines at the local church may not get because there's no time to really spend time with a person & also for staying clean. When we can 'know' the root of something--- that's a big deal.... being able to identify our weaknesses so we can spot and halt when things try to come back & to identify so we can use the sword of the spirit to actually FIGHT=== that's just priceless! We're also teaching ourselves what to look for etc. so that we'll be empowered to help others. Did you really think you're going to stop with just yourself??

So let me share what i did. Remember the list of papers I wrote out? These being based on everything I've uncovered in identifying strongholds in my life.

Repent. Revoke. Replace...

Remember I touched on this in the video entitled: Negative Confessions, Inner Vows & Curses - Spiritual Housecleaning, and if you need a refresher, go there and review the 'descriptions' for the prayers. You repented, you revoked and cancelled the demon's assignment in your life and then you began to loosen the soil by using the Word of God to counter the demon's assignment. So, in deliverance we go one step farther.

I shared how Derek Prince got his freedom… I'll share what I did… but remember, in the end you have take what bears in your own spirit and with what you know in the Word.

I Address by Name…

Reenactment of Prayer:

"Spirit of Heaviness, I am speaking to you. You are no longer welcome here in this vessel of honor. The blood of Jesus stands against you. I bind you in the name of Jesus and command you to go to the footstool of Jesus Christ."

Feeling Opposition…

If you have a stirring in your spirit, affirm who you are in Jesus by using scriptures that are the opposite of the demon's assignment (this is something you can make a conscious effort to do in advance), and then any other proclamations of your freedom are in line. If you have visions of strands or chords, cut them…. remember to pay attention to your spiritual radar in this battle. Continue to command the demon to go.

Pushing it Out…

As they come out you may feel them leaving.

Remember in the video: "Recognizing 'spirits' and Dealing with Them"--- the 'flash' of the demon I recognized as 'fierce'? That one came out of me producing hard, deep hiccups, and it felt like my heart was being jump-started.


Yawning and/or coughing is very common.

There was one I recall, where my eyes felt strange for a moment and then I felt the Holy Spirit pour back into my belly… so in that instance I realized that it left via my eyes. Some people have felt them exit the fingertips or toes… I have not, nor have I screamed, manifested a weird voice or vomited… those occurrences, you've probably heard about in group 'deliverance sessions'… I don't know what to tell you if you are doing deliverance upon yourself, but prepare and remember what you bind is bound. Some people say that you should cough to help dislodge the demon and push it out of your system… I don't know if that really makes a difference or not, but I thought I'd bring that up for your discernment…. so anyways, whatever the case….call the shots, because you have authority to do so.

Impartation Wedge…

And since I mentioned that we have authority to bind and we have the same to loose… Remember how I encouraged you to use the sword of the Word to 'loosen the soil' by focusing on those scriptures that align with the Truth of God? After having bound the enemy we then declare and loose, effectively imparting those one-word opposite antonyms of who you are in Christ-Jesus.


There have been times where I've called a demon to attention, bound…commanded and yet I still did not feel the release of the enemy from me, but as I loose these positive attributes into myself and calling them to go forth and fill formerly enemy occupied space within me… it works as a wedge to push the demon out. I can also say as I've grown to administer help in deliverance with others, I continue to use this with success as well.


Reenactment of Prayer:

"'heaviness', you have no place in me anymore…. I impart the attributes of: hope, cheer, contentment, encouragement, happiness, and joy into my spirit into all those places that you held me captive… for I am no longer influenced by you because the spirit of the Lord is within me, and I am released from captivity and set free from your oppression in the name of Jesus!" (Luke 4:18)

The Process…

The moment you make a decision to set a time to work deliverance on yourself… you can expect distractions to meddle with your schedule; thoughts that escalate to delay, or feeling 'sick' etc. So from the get-go, you need to be putting your prophetic shoes on and speaking life into your situation. You need to declare your freedom like a freight train with no brakes!

*Praise and worship or a round of thanksgiving unto God immediately beforehand will stir up the anointing within you and it's so helpful in getting you to physically and mentally tune-in the the Spirit of God.

As you wage war on the invaders you'll feel the apprehension as you begin. Depending on your unique spiritual gifting you will cue - in to a notable cycle that lets you know you are getting the job done. I personally recognize that my battle is over when I feel the presence of the Holy Spirit return and burn in my stomach region. In using the impartation wedge…. I usually feel the Holy Spirit slipping in at that point-- and then when I feel it fully, I know I'm done. I also feel this same sensation when praying deliverance for others… which really is my 'eyes' in knowing what is taking place as I haven't noted the seer anointing kicking in to let me actually 'See' the demonic in the person, whereas my husband can see them and watch when they leave. (Yay…. we're a perfect team because He made us opposites!)

The beauty in starting out on yourself is that it's a valuable learning experience for you.

And then there were two…

And if you want to go deeper you can research and go with what bears in your spirit… but this has started you down the path…. first you are free… people notice the change and you testify the Glory of God…. and then you help those closest to you… and pretty soon you have a team.

As you study you'll learn basic common sense things like to not minister alone to a person of the opposite sex… remember, we are take the revelation that Father God has shared with the body from the past and move forth from that history… and such wisdom from deliverance ministries cannot be ignored… we can learn from their testimonies.

Another reason to grow beyond yourself is because you may have some tough ones that you weren't able to get rid of. Everything I've shown you… has been more 'self deliverance' oriented. You have surely been gaining freedom in some, if not all areas, which you must now maintain control over.

But we are not islands unto ourselves. The Word is pretty clear that as a body, we need each other:
James 5:16 "Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much."
We are also taught that some things do take time.
Matthew 17:21 "But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting."
So if you've done everything, but haven't gone beyond self-deliverance, and still have not gained freedom…. If you know it hasn't ever left as opposed to it leaving and then coming back because you haven't been putting on the full armor of God through a lifestyle of obedience… Then you need to turn to the body of Christ. If you don't have anyone to turn to, then pray for a helper… Again,…. if you ask, believe you will receive help. But I do warn you… only do so after you have done your due diligence.

If you do meet with other christians for further deliverance, you will have effectually loosened the soil… you will be able to share what you believe roots of access are and everyone will know how best to pray with you; catching things you may have missed as well. Through all of this you have been led on a journey of practicing 'responsible deliverance' and now, with this knowledge, I ask that you go forth and multiply what you have learned, not only as a pursuer of the Word of Truth, but a 'doer' as well!

A Testimony of Deliverance, Derek Prince - Spiritual Housecleaning



A reading from Derek Prince's book entitled: "They Shall Expel Demons", in a chapter where he shares his honest testimony in his victory over depression.

Through this valuable testimony, no matter what 'battle' you are in, this will help you understand how vitally important it is to not only intake the Word of God, but that in being a 'doer' of the Word as well, you are well equipped to overcome by using the Word as the powerful 'Sword of the Spirit' that it is!

Born Again in the Holy Spirit - Spiritual Housecleaning



You may have received Jesus as your Lord and Savior, but have you asked for the baptism in the Holy Spirit? "What?", you say, "You mean they aren't the same thing?"
No, they are not.

Continuing on this journey of Spiritual Housecleaning...
In my last video, I got you all hyped up about removing any spiritual invaders that might be oppressing you... and we'll get to it... but first we have to be sure that we are not only 'saved' but born again in the Holy Spirit.

In Luke 11:24-26 We can see how very important that it is to have our temple not only free of invaders but that we don't want the possibility of a far worse situation because that spirit came back to an unoccupied place. No, we want the Spirit of God filling up every pore of our being.

["When the unclean spirit goes out of a man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and not finding any, it says, 'I will return to my house from which I came.' And when it comes, it finds it swept and put in order.
Then it goes and takes along seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they go in and live there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first." Luke 11:24-26]

The rest of this series is all about removing the invaders, shutting the doors and then replacing what was once enemy occupation with more of the Spirit of God.
Remember the last video?...

[ "I will not speak much more with you, for the ruler of the world is coming, and he has nothing in Me;.." John 14:30]
Does the enemy have anything in you?

I could spend a lot of time creating a video, but instead of recreating the wheel... I'd rather refer you to a playlist that I quite frankly cannot top. If you are earnestly walking through Spiritual Housecleaning...whether you believe you are born-again or not, I explicitly request that you watch this series entitled: "Receive the Holy Spirit" by Derek Prince.
Please do not skip this series! Whether you know you have the baptism, are unsure if you do, or know you do not... This series is 52.5 minutes long, filled with teaching from the scriptures that will help you; will also help you in ministry with others and I assure you that I feel the anointing churning in my stomach during it! [The Holy Spirit within me confirming that the message has the approval of the Lord upon it!] And, the bonus for those of you that have not received it, is at the end where Derek will guide you through prayer that will help hold your hand and activate it!

Anticipating Freedom - Spiritual Housecleaning



In the process of Spiritual Housecleaning… let me do a recap of the precepts in the videos I've done thus far:

The enemy can access or oppress us through:

•Our sin (rebellion)

•The unrepentant sin of our forefathers (generational)

•Curses (including self imposed via Inner Vows)

•Negative beliefs, confessions or thoughts that align with the enemy and are opposed to the Truth in the Word of God

•Unhealthy or sinful soul ties

•Unhealed Wounds or Trauma in our soul

--------

Now I've walked you through much understanding to break cycles of wrong thought processes…. through empowering prayers to cut off curses or ties that pin doors open but the final frontier is removing the invader(s).


In Luke 4:18, Jesus declares,

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free those who are oppressed, to proclaim the favorable year of the Lord."

Let me point out what is so very important that Jesus is declaring:

•Proclaim release…. the time is now.

•Sight to the blind… to heal.

•Set free the oppressed… deliverance.

•Proclaim year… the time is now.


In between "The time is now" is: to heal and to deliver!


Jesus, the spiritual King of the Spiritual Kingdom of Heaven… but all the people could see was oppression in the Kingdoms of Man.

Up until the time of Jesus, the law-- the temple --was the only way to keep clean from these spiritual 'invaders'. But through His ultimate sacrifice and example, He has GIVEN US everything we need to overcome. Nothing has changed in this book, but that HE has lifted us up with Him in authority and power and freedom if we so choose!


[Luke 10:19 "Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you."]


Deliverance is no different today then it was back then. The problem today is that [holding Bible] much of this has been added to or taken away at the users whim. Bad fruit, physical ailments, torments… you name it…. it's all ignored as opposition to abundant life. Instead of focusing on Healing and Deliverance, drugs are pushed…psychotherapy is pushed. The purpose of ministering deliverance is to set free those who are in bondage. Whether spiritual or physical… HE HEALED THEM ALL. So, why should we live life expecting any less?

We are to preach the gospel, to heal the sick and to deliver the oppressed or we are not following what Jesus has mandated for us!


[John 20:21, "Then said Jesus to them... as my Father has sent me, even so send I you."]


What does the oppression that cries out for the need of deliverance look like?

Have we become brainwashed by Hollywood?

Oppression is not an issue of being totally overrun by the demonic….


You've heard this before… that our bodies are 98% water… That we make the perfect home for usurpers of the glory of God:

Luke 11:24

"When the unclean spirit goes out of a man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest…"


[Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If any man destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him, for the temple of God is holy, and that is what you are." 1 Corinthians 3:16-17]


Derek Prince has said, "Demons continually seek to invade a person, but when the person is healthy spiritually, the spiritual "immune system" within the person identifies and attacks the demons, and they are not able to move in and take control. Any kind of unhealthiness or emotional weakness, on the other hand, makes a person vulnerable to demonic attack."


So it's important to seek out those areas in our life where there is not abundant life and discern what is holding us back? Is it our flesh that needs crucified or do we have an invader that needs cast out and the door healed and sealed by Jesus Christ?


If you were the enemy and you didn't want to leave your 'house' wouldn't you infiltrate the church and blind the people; discredit anything and everything that might get you evicted?

And so the 'church' normalizes oppression as something to expect in life. Let's face it… the 'church' at large does not want to deal with 'deliverance' because of lies believed. "Deliverance" to the 'church' is like potty talk… but I'm sorry, we all poop! Do we not all sin and fall short of the Glory of God? Didn't even Peter get a rebuke for aligning with the enemy?


[Mark 8:33 "But turning around and seeing His disciples, He rebuked Peter and said, "Get behind Me, Satan; for you are not setting your mind on God's interests, but man's."]


You've got to get it in your head that enemy access is a normal thing we struggle with in life. This isn't strange, this isn't new… we need to quit running away from deliverance!


As Jesus was speaking to the disciples at Passover… at that last supper He declared:


"I will not speak much more with you, for the ruler of the world is coming, and he has nothing in Me;.." John 14:30


Does the enemy have anything in you?


Question everything alongside of the Word of God… and get ready because the next videos in this series we will begin to expose the invaders and I will walk you through self-deliverance with encouragement that you can do this with others as well. His commission is your commission!


[John 14:12, "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do".]

Planting Seeds Among Occultists



There are 2 kinds of people in the occult. Those that are 'searching' and through occult power... see results and are therefore drawn in.... and there are those that reject God and embrace it. The majority are those 'searching dabblers'. Unless a person REALLY reads the scripture and chases after God, it's all to easy for even a professing 'Christian' to dabble unawares.

Hi Freedom 1 here…. I can even attest to dabbling unawares in my younger days... coming across an 'Automatic Writing' tape from the library. I had no idea what it was… the description on it sounded pretty good… I mean, who doesn't want direction for their life? I said I was a 'Christian', was kind to others, didn't do anything radically off-the-wall bad… but never had read the bible outside of Sunday services. Even then, it wasn't me reading the scriptures, but listening to it being recited. This speaks to many people of today… content with watching other people having relationships with Jesus; content to mooch off the experience of others, never 'entering in' to Know Him for oneself.

In my experience with the automatic writing, every time it told me to call on some ominous force, I of course, called on Jesus. For some reason it didn't work for me, but I then later understood that I had to repent of looking for direction outside of the confines of the Holy Scriptures. It doesn't matter that it didn't work, I had crossed the line by peeking where the Word says I shouldn't.


Deu 18:10"There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices witchcraft, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer,

Deu 18:11or one who casts a spell, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead.

Deu 18:12"For whoever does these things is detestable to the LORD; and because of these detestable things the LORD your God will drive them out before you.”


Whether we are ignorant of the scriptures or not, we are blessed and we are cursed by it's timeless mandate. And this is often the angle I use with occult dabblers. You see, they are where they are at because they perceive power, help, or benefit in some way.

You often see the phrase of "Love and Light" as a seeming blessing. You'll see all manner of grated biblical precepts like "do what thou wilt but harm none", "be at peace with all man", and so on…. all precepts with a root of truth, but devoid of Jesus and Father God; and not lining up with the scriptures.

Remember what Satan did with Eve in the Garden… he took the truth and twisted it.

Unfortunately many Christians either shun occult dabblers or worse harden them more so by using angry/judgmental scriptures or ones that spell out the sin, all out of context, neglecting the reason of 'why'.

The simple revelation of:

"Hmm, maybe God wants a relationship with mankind… maybe He wants you to consult Him."

If such 'Christians' really knew the scriptures, in that, God spells out that sin is as a veil of darkness over their eyes, and so they cannot see.

Rom 1:21“For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened.”

The way we witness to the world is by meeting people where they are at, by feeding them the keys that unlock the darkness and stir the hunger within them to search for the truth. You see, it's not your job to save souls, it's Jesus's. Christ made flesh through you, breaks the clouds away.

Rev 12:11 "And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death."

Your experience, especially if you were once in the occult and broke free, is a 'been there, done that… got the t-shirt, GOT the trophy', but it was empty--- testimonial that they are going to identify with. These are all seeds to be planted. If you are blessed to be sent in to their lives after the seeds have grown, then the anointing will break the yoke. There's nothing greater than standing before a person, that recognizes what 'power' is, and unleash the true power of the Holy Spirit over them.

Sickness Is A Doorway

Desperate people are much more likely to consent to an offer for prayer. I pray that all of you out there have asked Jesus for His baptism in the Holy Spirit… that you all are speaking in tongues and at every drop of a hat are exercising and displaying that you are healed by His stripes in your own life first instead of running to the doctor or immediately popping pills. Greater Works are something you walk into by faith… and if your heart is to reach those in the occult your confidence in the Word of Truth and in your Lord has to shine through.

Acts 14:3“Therefore they spent a long time there speaking boldly with reliance upon the Lord, who was testifying to the word of His grace, granting that signs and wonders be done by their hands.”

When you pray over family or friends can they physically feel the presence of God flowing through you? If you said "Yes," this is going to be one of the biggest witnesses of Jesus because you simply become the vessel and disappear and HE does all the work. Do you realize that the Anti-Christ and perhaps his followers are going to soon enter the stage and the deception will be so great that it says even the elect might be deceived?

They are going to 'pray' over people and get results….what are YOU waiting for? It's not going to get easier… it will be harder…. so think of that co-worker… that server at your favorite restaurant that you know is in the occult and is ill or searching. Ask the Lord for boldness and give His Spirit permission to nag you to Move!

I Used To Be A 'Christian'….

I find it especially endearing when occult dabblers admit "I used to be a Christian", because it reveals an either 'bad' or 'spiritually dead' experience, which makes it so much easier to witness to them. Why? Because we can agree with their pain and disappointment on some level; the apostate church that is powerless and does not DO what the word says.

I can happily share my experiences in the Truth and in boasting of the fulfillment I have that they admitted having not found there. It's essentially my apologizing for the bad experience they had… agreeing with their calling a spade a spade… but then basically saying "Try it again, but this time….", targeting what pushed them away. Get them to separate that experience from the person of Jesus, so that you are re-introducing them to the Messiah, that you know intimately.

• Was their experience suppressive and controlling?

What was all the bustle about Pharisees, Saducees and Teachers in the Bible?...

Hypocrites - Luke 12:1

False Apostles, Selfish and Authoritarian - 2 Corinthians 11:19

False Teachers & the Love of Money - 1 Timothy 6: 3-10

False Teachers, Gluttonous and Money - Titus 1:10-16

Altered Gospel - 2 John 1:7-11

False Teacher - Revelation 2:20

Elitism, Pride, Gossip, Authoritarian - 3 John 1: 9-12

• No power or a blind eye to the supernatural… just a routine?

Mar 16:17-18 "These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues;they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."

And we wonder why it's called the 'narrow road' that few take? Obviously getting them to question that perhaps a church that doesn't follow the Word, might not be 'true church' after all.

• Do as I say, but not as I do… with family or church members?

Just because a parent or church member or family 'got away' with behaving badly, doesn't mean it won't be dealt with in the future…

By their fruits you shall know them.

• I prayed but nothing ever happened.

Luke 11:9"So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you."

…. Did they actually read the scriptures ….ask them to put themselves in Gods shoes regarding relationship…. was it just like genie in a bottle or did they actively seek to Know Him?

Romans 10:17 "So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ."

• Cults, errant teaching or lack of revelation.

I've come across people admitting that their background was tongue-talking, demon casting, 5-fold ministry… and yet were pushed away because that church didn't have full revelation on understanding generational curses. I have an example of a guy that said, "I really tried, I was at church 3 days a week… but God has damned me and there's nothing I can do." At his past church, instead of removing a generational curse, which in his case was a homosexual tendency, the church would constantly have deliverance sessions of casting a demon of homosexuality out of him… to no avail. Why of course not… it has legal right to be there via sins of the forefather.

I encourage you to read Exodus 20:3-5, realizing that this is in the context of THE FIRST COMMANDMENT:

"You shall have no other gods before Me. (CAUSE)

You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth.

You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, (EFFECT) visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me…" Exodus 20:3-5


Are you going to 'salad bar' with the 10 commandments???

If the command is still in effect, the curse is as well-- UNTIL the blood of Jesus is applied to it! Problem is, is that most people only think repenting for their own sin is enough… hmmm, gotta do something with theses scriptures.

[Other 'Generational Sins' verses: Exodus 34:6-7, Numbers 14:18, Jeremiah 2:5-9, Jeremiah 32:17-18, Deuteronomy 5:9-10, Malachi 2:1-4…]

Let me get back to this guy that tried, but 'church' failed him…. So because he put church on his pedestal instead of seeking God about it… when 'church' failed him… and then his church condemned him as a sinner because the homosexual tendencies remained… Are you feeling a deep empathy for him? 'He tried', but it was someone in his family line that walked away from God first!

Romans 1:21 “For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened.”

He Wants All the Souls

God created all in His image and He wants all the souls. Can you be the one to feed these searching people the truth they so desperately need? Make sense for them by the truth of the Word and in the power of your testimony!

The Lord showed me a dream this past year about how searching and hungry occult dabblers are. He showed me people almost as groupies flocking to a writers book table that was selling new age help books. The book author operated in occult psychic power and enamored the crowd. But these people were dissatisfied, unfulfilled, angry and honest in professing their hatred and disbelief in God. Then the scene panned down beneath them. I could see rows and rows of heavy weights with floating sculptures of witches tied to them.

Any amount of dabbling brings on a curse:

“And the person who turns after mediums and familiar spirits, to prostitute himself with them, I will set My face against that person and cut him off from his people.” Leviticus 20:6

It is like that weight in the ocean that prevents them from seeing the sky, from accepting the truth. So I encourage you… go to the root. First, privately (internally) bind satanic forces over them before you share. Ask them if they have ever had curses broken off their lives. Offer to pray with them… if they consent, Hooray…. because, if you can destroy the root… then when they search for truth, the blinders will be off. Then, continue to pray for them in your prayer closet… scriptures over their life, as led by the Holy Spirit.

"Brethren, my heart's desire and my prayer to God for them is for their salvation." Romans 10:1

No Religiosity

One of my favorite quotes is from St. Francis of Assisi: "Preach the Gospel at all times and when necessary use words."

I can't stress enough that you meet people where they are at. Remember my dream… they can't see the sky because of the weight, holding them down… Interpreted: the scriptures are not going to be revealed to them lest the veil is removed first.

"…but whenever a person turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away." 2 Corinthians 3:16

This is why the word of your testimony is so important. Throwing scriptures at them is what? Did you learn anything from my examples?

Jesus taught revelation through parables so that it would loosen the soil and be received, and you are to do the same.

"...Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables; and without a parable He did not speak to them, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: 'I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things kept secret from the foundation of the world.'” Matthew 13:34-35

These days biblical precepts are everywhere in the occult but with some other label on it and void of Jesus. Searching and open people will respond to those precepts just as Gentiles flocked to Jesus when He preached.

Do not Fear

Remember about what I said about your confidence in the Word of Truth? When you are under His covering, when you are doing only what you see the Father doing, what does the bible promise? [Do you BELIEVE Psalm 91 yet??]

[I show some pictures of Pagan events or places where I've been led to go and pray.] If the gates of Hell shall not prevail against the 'church', then we should all understand that we are living arks of the covenant… wherever we carry the Lord, the enemy is silenced… and people in the occult can begin to hear the voice of of Father God.

Occult dabblers may 'get away' with a lot of stuff amongst unspirit-filled people, but ruin or complete salvation are the only ends when they approach a vessel of the most high Jesus Christ!

"I try to Read the Bible but I Just Can't"


If you focus on Jesus, He'll order everything else in place. Hindrances to reading the bible are NOT you.... remember we are in a spiritual battle. If you allow the spirits that try to block you from reading the bible & such to conquer you--fear will continue to run you around. Read the bible even if you don't want to....it's spirits that try to hinder you...the word of God is called the 'sword of the spirit'...it's a weapon. As soon as you take it & begin to use it, it's over for the enemy in your life & it's only onward & upward. Begin to pay attention to the thoughts you have or the distractions that happen every time you move towards seeking God in the bible or praying. It's no coincidence. Bind them up in the name of Jesus and move forward.
