“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.” 1John 5:4
We have an awesome victory in Jesus Christ. The presence of the Holy Spirit of God who dwells in human beings that have been born again. This works through the faith that is planted as a seed in our innermost being.
The Apostle John wrote concerning the basis of our faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Jesus Christ came in the flesh and laid down His life as a substitute for us for forgiveness of sin. We will realize the completion of His work in us at His coming:
“When he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.” 1 John 3:2
Just knowing this Biblical truth is a foundation that strengthens our faith and gives us hope as we serve the Lord. There are other precious promises:

EAT OF THE TREE OF LIFE

“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.” Revelation 2:7

WILL NOT BE HURT OF THE SECOND DEATH

“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.” Revelation 2:11
 

Power over the Nations

“And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations.” Revelation 2:26

Given a New Name

“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.” Revelation 2:17

Clothed in White Raiment

“He that overcometh, and same shall be clothed in white raiment, and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.” Revelation 3:5

Pillar in the Temple of God

Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. Revelation 3:12

Sit with the Lord on His Throne

“To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.” Revelation 3:21
Inherit all things
“He that overcometh shall inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.” Revelation 21:7

Conclusion

We have these precious promises that the Apostle John spoke of. We can speak these out loud or meditate on them in our heart, soul, and spirit. We can overcome the world because Jesus said: “be of good cheer because I have overcome the world.” The Bible says we must: “occupy till He comes.” Luke 19:3

Put a Guard on Your Deliverance

Put a Guard on Your Deliverance

After receiving deliverance from evil spirits, be diligent and vigilant to protect your deliverance. Remember Jesus is the Deliverer; however, He uses ministers to perform the ministry. The Deliverance Ministry is intense for the deliverance candidate and for the minister. If ministry that is received is not guarded it will soon be lost. The really dangerous part is that the person receiving will be seven times worse than before.

Matthew 12:43-45: When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.44 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.45 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.

These particular scriptures show that a demon will attempt to come back “seven times” worse than before. The deliverance candidate should not become demon conscious but should trust the Lord their God.

Most Christians and just people in general view the deliverance ministry as bizarre and weird. But Jesus said in the Word of God once a person receives deliverance the spirits will go then come back to look and see if the person is truly filled with the Word of God and the things of God.

Holiness should be sought by the Deliverance Candidate

After deliverance the believer must be on guard concerning their sin life. We can only maintain a holy life as we put our trust in the Lord and seek His ways.Disobedience to God can bring sin into a Christian’s life. Keep in mind, “sin brings bondage”. In Galatians 5:1 the Bible says to hold onto the freedom that we have received in Jesus Christ. When we seek holiness as Christians instead of worldliness we will be sure to keep the doors closed to the demons that will try to come and tempt us back into our old ways.

In addition, any believer that is born again and receives deliverance should aspire to seek the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. Remember, demons cannot just freely enter into a Christian, especially if there is resistance from the Christians.

Stay close to Jesus. Read His Word and seek to develop a prayer life. These are ingredients that will ensure that you will not have to fear demons returning to your life.

Be Refreshed in the Lord

Be Refreshed in the Lord

autumn-lake-blue-skies

Christians sometimes need to be refreshed in the Lord. This fact would specifically apply to those that are constantly fighting in the spirit realm in spiritual warfare. This time of refreshing in the spirit will cause a renewal in spirit for the next battle. Lest the warrior get weary in well doing.

Galatians 6:9:And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

Isaiah 44:3-5:For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring:4And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses. 5One shall say, I am the LORD’s; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto the LORD, and surname himself by the name of Israel.

The Lord is the one that has the power to refresh as in the spirit realm as we submit our wills to Him. Without this refreshing a well-meaning Christian may find themselves even groing weary in the things of the Lord.
The Holy Spirit will come and comfort us as we put our hope and trust in Jesus Christ.

 

2 Corinthians 1:4: Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

John 16:7: Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

When a Christian is involved in spiritual warfare there is an intense battle going on in the spirit realm. The Bible describes this warfare as wrestling. If we work too hard at wrestling without a break to give God the glory we will surely grow tired, weary and discouraged.

Ephesians 6: 10-12: Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11Put on the whole armour of God that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

One method of entering into the refreshment of the Lord would be to seek the Lord in praying the scriptures. This type of prayer is just talking to the Lord in your heavenly relationship with Him. This is not the same as warfare. This type of commune with the Lord is just to talk to Him and pray the scriptures in faith believing that He hears and will answer you.

 

Romans 4:17(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.

As we pray the Word of God we will begin to have a balance in our spiritual warfare ministry and the Lord will be able to refresh us quicker as we become knowledgeable of the full Word of God.

The World Ending in 2012 – Christians Read Your Bibles

The World Ending in 2012- Christians Read Your Bibles

The World Ending in 2012- Christians Read Your Bibles

There has been much stirring around about the world ending in 2012. This is not the first time that someone has tried to predict the end of the World. The problem exists when Christians start to believe these types of predictions. They are lies from the pit of hell. A Christian should never trust secular writings for their information. Yes as a Christian we live in the world but are not of the world. This means that in order to know what the Lord says about this subject we must stop searching the internet and other forms of information to be enlightened. We must read our Bibles. When a Christian reads the Bible and believes what the Bible says then there will be no fear of tomorrow. Every Christian should be prepared for the World to end at any time and ready to meet the Lord Jesus Christ without fear.

Scientist have come up with all sorts of theories that attempt to convince those that are easily persuaded. These theories should not be believed to be the authority over the Word the God. The Bible will always be the final authority when discussing spiritual things. The subject of the World ending in 2012 is a spiritual issue. The Bible says a lot about the end of the World.

Mark 13:5-8: And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you: 6For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 7And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. 8For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.

Mark 13:21-23:And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not: 22For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect. 23But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.

The scripture that really should stand out in the Bible for the believer is Matthew 24:34-36.

Matthew 24:34-36: Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. 35Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. 36But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

This scripture says “no man knoweth the day or the hour but my Father only”. The Father in these scriptures refer to Father God. These scriptures do not even indicate that Jesus even knows anything about that day, how much more should we reject the fact that a mere man will know the exact day or hour. Many are accepting and have accepted in the past these false claims for the simple fact that they do not read or believe the Bible. Heaven is the final authority! We as Christians must believe the Bible.

If you are reading this article today and you are not a Christian. Please become one before time expires. No one is promised tomorrow and if the World did end in 2012 would you go to heaven. You must be sure of your answer. You must know that you know that you know beyond a shadow of a doubt. This is possible if you accept the fact that Jesus Christ came for your ticket to heaven. All you have to do is confess with you mouth and believe in your heart the Jesus Christ is your Lord. Now please say this prayer with me:

Father God in heaven I believe that you sent Jesus to die for my sins and that Jesus is God. Lord Jesus I ask you to forgive me of all my sins and the sins of my ancestors and come and live in my heart and be my personal Savior. I am truly sorry Lord and I receive your forgiveness and also forgive myself. I also ask you to fill me with the Holy Spirit with evidence of speaking in a heavenly language in Jesus name. Lord from this day forward I will read the Bible and seek you for the understanding of the Word of God in Jesus name-Amen.

Christians Being Overcome By the Flesh

By

Christians Being Overcome By the Flesh

What is the flesh? Most Christians have a hard time understanding the concept of the flesh. The flesh is simply that part of us that responds to the natural world around us. Our physical body and our desires are what make up the flesh. Unfortunately, we as Christians have more to contend with than just our flesh. We also have the Spirit to deal with.

1 Corinthians 3:1:And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. 2I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. 3For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?

One indication of being “dominated by the flesh” is that spirituality will be missing. Paul told the Church at Corinth that the reason that they were not able to grow in the spirit was because they were “carnal” or “fleshy”. If we look at this scripture we see certain characteristics associated with carnality and they are :envying, strife and divisions. As a deliverance ministry we have seen spirits that were also associated with these names. In other words with most fleshy activity there is a spirit that will be associated with it.

Galatians 5:16-25: This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 17For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 18But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. 19Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

We see again in these scriptures “works of the flesh”. However I will just take one of these as an illustration. For example, witchcraft is not just carried out by the flesh alone, there is a spirit attached to this work of the flesh. This spirit is what motivates and causes a person to be overtaken. This is another characteristic of a person that appears to be “driven” in there activity. This activity takes place in the flesh but has a spirit that is driving the person to continue to desire to participate in the sinful act. The only remedy for this is the ministry of “casting out demons”. No amount of personal or psychiatric counseling will cause that person relief besides casting the demon out.

The flesh screams to be satisfied, however, if we through the Spirit of God mortify (put to death) the power of the flesh we will live a victorious Christian life.

Romans 12:1: I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

Slain by the Power of the Holy Ghost

By

Slain by the Power of the Holy Ghost

There are many supernatural spiritual phenomena happening in this day. We must also realize that not all of the supernatural events that we witness are not from the God in Heaven. As a Christian we are “suppose to know” what is of God and what is not of God. However, this is not the case in the Body of Christ. Most Christians are afraid of the supernatural and tend to stay as far away from anything to do with something that cannot be experienced with the five senses. The problem with this theory is that the things of God are spiritual and supernatural first and then manifest themselves in the realm of the natural.

The Slaying in the Spirit has been frowned upon, misunderstood, abused and misused in the Body of Christ for a long period of time. However there is scriptural evidence as well as physical evidence that this is a valid sign and wonder for today. The following are just a few scriptures that show the evidence of being slain in the spirit.

Gen 17:1-3:And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect. 2And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.3And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him.

Josh.5:13-15:And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries? 14And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my Lord unto his servant? 15And the captain of the LORD’s host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.

Ez.1:28:As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.

Ez 43:1-5:1Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh toward the east:2And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory.3And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city: and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face. 4And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east. 5So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house.

Ez 44:4:Then brought he me the way of the north gate before the house: and I looked, and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD: and I fell upon my face.

Mt.17:5-6:5While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. 6And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
Rev.1:7 7Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

Rev 7:11:11And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God

Rev 11:16-17:16And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, 17Saying, We give thee thanks, O LORD God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.

Acts 9:3And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:4And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?5And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.6And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.7And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.

Every Christian needs to pray that they can receive everything that the Lord has for them to receive. Otherwise, we may miss something that will increase our faith and cause us to be victorious in Christ and in our own personal lives.

Letting Go Of Bitterness and Grudges – Key To Forgiveness

By

Letting go of bitterness and grudges- Key to forgiveness

Guarding yourself against unforgiveness is the key to peace in the mind ask a Christian. Unless we live as hermits, we will always be prone to attack from the spirit of unforgiveness and bitterness. Most people in their lives grew up thinking that holding grudges was just the normal thing to do. This is not the case as a Christian. This spirit of unforgivenss and sometimes called in the deliverance ministry “a root of bitterness” will cause many problems in a Christian’s spirit and overall well-being.

Unforgiveness,holding grudges and bitterness can open the door for many other spirits to come in and will wreak havoc in the life of the Christian. These spirits are (to name a few) anger, rebellion, rejection. These are big ones in a person’s life and can be noticeable by those around us and could possibly ruin our Christian testimony. We must search our hearts on a daily basis to ensure that we are not harboring these sorts of spirits in our lives. A fertile ground for these spirits is unforgiveness, and bitterness towards a person(s).

The Flesh can be a snare in a Christian’s Life

By

The Bible says that we must “put off “the works of the flesh”.

“The night is far spent, the day is at hand, let us therefore put off the works of darkness, (Romans 13:13)

The Bible also talks about a person being ignorant to Satan’s devices. We as Christians have the Word of God as our guide and we “should not be ignorant of Satan’s devices”.

2 Cor 2:11: Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

The Word of God speaks of two types of Lives. The first type is the Natural Life or Bios. Bios makes reference to our natural and earthly life here on this earth. The Bible also referes to Zoe which refers to the resurrection or eternal life that Jesus us when we commit our lives to him.

John 14:6: Jesus said: I am the way the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me.

The Word of God also talks about three types of people:

The Natural person

  • He is unsaved
  • Has the adamic nature
  • Cannot discern spiritual things and does not want to hear them
  • Everything about the natural man is opposed to the ways of God

The Carnal person

  • Lives a life of the world
  • Jesus is Saviour but not Lord
  • Not interested in spiritual or eternal things
  • Not interested in serving the Lord

2 Cor 10:4-5: For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds; 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.

“For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envy ing, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?” 1 Cor 3:3
