Believing and Knowing your Authority
Basic Deliverance Manual
BELIEVING AND KNOWING YOUR AUTHORITY
Mark 16:17 "And these attesting signs will accompany those who BELIEVE: in My Name they will cast OUT demons..."
BELIEVING: The first step to DELIVERANCE is the actual believing that a Christian canhave a demon. Yes, that you, a born again, Spirit-filled, tongue talking, JESUS loving and worshiping Christian can and do have demons. JESUS said that DELIVERANCE was the "children's bread". Matthew 15:26 and Mark 7:27.
If you do not believe that you have demons, and some one tries to cast OUT your demons, then they do not have to leave. That is why you must humble yourself and say, "Well, IF I have any demons, I want them OUT!"
BUT HOW CAN THIS BE??? HOW YOU CAN, AND DO, HAVE DEMONS When you are Born Again as a Christian/Believer/True Worshipper, JESUS/Holy Spirit comes to abide in your SPIRIT. Demons CANNOT get INTO your Spirit.
You are a tri-une being - BODY, SOUL and SPIRIT. Your SOUL is your MIND, WILL and EMOTIONS.
First is your BODY. Christians can have a sickness/disease just like theunsaved. That's caused by demons (if not caused by other factors) Second is your SOUL. Do you have a bad temper? That's a demon. Is theremental illness in your family background? That is a demon. Do you have trouble serving God? That's a demon. Do you have problems with bad thoughts? That is ademon.
Third is your SPIRIT. Demons cannot get into your SPIRIT, but, the demons surround your SPIRIT like a glass jar surrounds its contents, and you have trouble serving the Lord JESUS the way the bible tells you to do or that you want. The contents of the jar can not get out until you remove the lid (demons).
Deliverance can get rid of the demons.
So here we are, children of God, and we are sick in our bodies, sick in our minds, can't seem to serve God the way we want to. Bingo! That's right, demons are causing this trouble. JESUS said in John 10:10 that satan has come to kill, steal and destroy, but that He (JESUS) has come to give life and life abundantly. JESUS came to destroy the works of the devil. 1 John 3:8.
In Mark Chapter 7 beginning at verse 21 JESUS said, "For from within, (that is) out of the hearts of men, come base and wicked thoughts, sexual immorality, stealing, murder, adultery; 22) Coveting (a greedy desire to have more wealth), dangerous and destructive wickedness, deceit; unrestrained (indecent) conduct; an evil eye (envy), slander (evil speaking, malicious representation, abusiveness), pride (the sin of an uplifted heart against God and man), foolishness (folly, lack of sense, recklessness,thoughtlessness). 23) All these evil (purposes and desires) come from within, and they make the man unclean and render him unhallowed." These are all names of demons.
Knowing that JESUS said this, doesn't it make you want to have anything evil that is within you driven out? The only way to do this is by DELIVERANCE.
YOUR AUTHORITY: In accordance with believing that you have demons, you must know your authority in the Name of JESUS. Luke 10:19 says, "Behold! I have given you authority and power to trample upon serpents and scorpions, and (physical and mental strength and ability) over all the power that the enemy (possesses); and nothing shall in any way harm you."
He also said in II Corinthians 10:4 "For the weapons of our warfareare not physical (weapons of flesh and blood), but they are mighty before God for the overthrow and destruction of strong holds."
In Ephesians 6, He said that we wrestle not against flesh and blood but principalities, powers, etc. He told us to put on the whole armour of God that we may be able to withstand in the evil day.
The enemy will try you, to know if you mean business or if you are just playing. So get into the Word of God and know your authority in the Name of JESUS.
Fear is the number one weapon used by satan. But JESUS said that He has not given us a spirit of fear but of power and love and a strong mind. (II Timothy 1:7).
