Deliverance 101: Part II Dealing with open doorways

Good morning beloved

To have effective deliverance we must first know our enemy

Secondly know the truth because the truth will set us free

Thirdly know our positioning and authority in Christ

As I have said in Part I

And I will put boldly here again

1 THE ENEMY CANNOT STAY WHERE HE DOESN'T HAVE A RIGHT (LEGAL GROUND TO STAY)

2 DELIVERANCE IS 20 % BEING COUNSELLED OR BEING MINISTERED TO AND 80% ONE SEEKING GOD FOR TRUTH AND CHOOSING TO CONFORM ONE'S LIFE AND MIND TO GOD’S WORD

With that being said let us debunk a lot of those theories as to why we are being relentlessly pursued by the enemy

1. Satan is on our backs or we are "under" attack. Even I must repent of saying the words "under" attack.  Our positioning in Christ is one of authority and once we have accepted Christ in our lives then we have the authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions and over ALL the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means harm us. (Luke 10:19)

We are the head and not the tail, above only and not beneath (Dueteronomy 28:13)

We are seated in heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6)

We are never UNDER the enemy or his attacks in Jesus name

To know about the enemy let's outline a few factors

We have an invisible enemy (because our battle is one of a Spiritual nature) and who has been given power in the earth realm

One third of the Angelic army left in rebellion with satan

TWO THIRDS still belong to the heavenly army and God commands them to fight for us

Satan has a purpose - he comes to kill, steal and destroy. He goes about the earth realm seeking whom he may devour.

He cannot do his work effectively without the use of a human vessel, that is why he tries relentlessly to gain access to human vessels by making the ways of sin, wordliness, lawlessness, degradation reprobation look so attractive, under the guise of doing what you feel and having what you want. The Satanic Church is founded on the Principles of "Do what thou will".

The enemy plants thoughts for temptation to lead one into sin and it is a fact sin if not dealt with (even if you are a Christian) is an open doorway to the enemy.

Please note any sin seperates us from God. We all sin at some point even after finding Christ and many times in lack of knowledge. Our mind has not yet been renewed completely and we are still walking through the process of transformation. It is very necessary for us to walk with repentant hearts.

"Repentance grows as faith grows. Do not make any mistake about it; repentance is not a thing of days and weeks, a temporary penance to be got over as fast as possible! No; it is the grace of a lifetime, like faith itself. God's little children repent, and so do the young men and the fathers. Repentance is the inseparable companion of faith"

Charles Spurgeon

2 Anything that God allows in our life will always always work for his glory. Now when I say ALLOW. There are natural and spiritual laws, we live in a fallen world. The flu doesn't have to ask God permission to come upon us, it just happens in the bigger picture of life that happens. Though always it can be an opportunity for God to be glorified as he heals us.

God never cooerces man's choices and it is fact there are some who practise evil and are cohorts with the kingdom of darkness. The enemy is relentlessly using individuals at this time to specifically target mankind and the Christians in particular as he knows his time is short and if he can derail, distract or disturb Christians then his army will have a lot of leeway. If only we could know how effective our prayers are in stopping the enemy.

As we walk through these fiery trials we gain - most of all more and more of the anointing as "experienced" soldiers in God's army. We also glorify God as we prove God as deliverer, Sabaoth, El Gibor, defender - just simply our everything.

So much more to say that would help you to know your enemy but alas I must move on

We will only have victory and power over the enemy of our souls Satan when we surrender all and live in right-standing clothed in the whole armour as we align ourselves to the Kingdom of Light and Life.

Power and authority from God only comes from connection and alignment - aligned to God’s perfect will and therefore aligned to heaven.

Are you connected to the vine? Are you living moving and breathing in Christ. I tell you to do Spiritual warfare effectively one must be so deeply rooted and grounded in God, living out of the flow of the Holy Spirit. We cannot fire "blank shots" or "miss the target" we must be "sharp threshing instruments" for God's Kingdom.

To do this one has to conform every area of our life to God's word and his will and his ways.

There are so many things that influence how we think, feel and choose (the soul dimension). That is why Satan is called the enemy of our souls.

The influences are:

- What we inherited from the Generations and Ancestors

- How we were brought up

- The traumatic experiences of life

- The cultural background of our upbringing

- Our personalities

And so much more

We have to be "free" of all those influences by now bringing our heart and mind into alignment with God’s word and his will. We must ask God for the Spirit of Truth and Revelation knowledge and to enable us to live according to God's word and his will.

DELIVERANCE IS FOR THE PURPOSE OF LIVING IN ALIGNMENT WITH GOD AND HIS WILL.

To remove anything of the "old" that would block and hinder us from being in intimate relationship with God (one with A Spirit of Rejection is unable to receive God’s love and flow in this intimate relationship)

Deliverance also removes anything that would pollute our identity and thus derail our destiny.

Deliverance also removes anything that would block or delay us fulfilling our God given purpose and completing our assignment.

So here are some ways one may need deliverance but one is blaming Everything and everyone else and even doing Spiritual warfare instead of just simply dealing with the open doorways to the enemy and conforming to God's word and his will.

THE ENEMY WILL NOT GO, NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU CAST HIM OUT

IF ONE STILL KEEPS ON "SINNING" ie. Living in ways that are independent of God's word and his will

Let me give you just a few examples

1 How are you going to speak to those divisive demons in a marriage when you're not submitted one to another

Or practising Agape love with forgiving, forgiving forgiving

Forgiving the unforgivable

2 How you gonna speak to financial demons when you are not practising bible financial principles of tithing and offering

3. How are you going to speak to demons affecting your relationships, when you may not see it so, but you may be one of the most difficult people to deal with.

Here is what God's word says

Proverbs 18:24

A man who has friends [f]must himself be friendly,

But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother

Amen

To have friends one must first be friendly

The list goes on an on my friends

Ask God to show you truth, not evaluate yourself by your own measures (you will think of yourself as being good)

Allow the Holy Spirit to convict

To remove, deliver and restore

Amen

Two more topics to raise

Can a Christian have a demon?

and I think the last one should be on Walking in the Spirit as against living out of the soul dimension

If you would like inspiration on a particular topic. Please do let me know

Walk good in Christ

Till we meet again
