HOW TO TAKE BACK YOUR PEACE!

According to Hebrews 4, entering the Lord’s rest is labor or in other words “work.” 

Yet, the irony is that we enter in by “ceasing from our own works.”  I believe that  we struggle or “labor”  to enter in for one main reason.   The enemy knows that in order to keep us defeated, he has to block our way by  stealing  both our joy, peace and our rest. So strategically, demonic entities have   designed three main  styles of deception.  Demons revel in depression, oppression and vexation of spirit because these three (3) emotional conditions are open doors to relapse during the restoration process.

Pam Sheppard, A licensed therapist for 38 years.

.

Depression is spiritually nurtured by a poor sense of esteem, dissatisfaction, and alienation—each rooted in a lack of patience.  Evil spirits thrive on the three “d’s” of doubt, disappointment and despair to lower our physical energy and vitality. Their method is to entangle weeds of negative thoughts, emotions and attitudes into a stronghold or spiritual underground root system that develops into a solid fortress or base of operation from which demons can function unhindered. 


Condemnation and accusations are central to the guilt experienced by the depressed.y to rest and peace. 
Oppression brings a sense of being smothered or weighed down with the burdens of a troubled, problematic life.  In such cases, the demon assigned to oppress you is by metaphor a “monkey on the back”, hovering around and pressing you down with a persistent attack, until your spiritual back breaks and you fall or “relapse”.  At times sudden and shocking, the demon will apply a steady and relentless attack with persecution and disarming calamities of all sorts.

Vexation of spirit ALSO takes several forms.  Restlessness can lead to a feeling of annoyance or irritability.  In this regard, evil spirits will employ sequentially ordered petty harassments to
cause worry and a disquieted state, akin to mild or even acute stages of paranoia.  In the mental realm, vexation also brings confusion and disorientation.  The demonic weapons of choice are fear and intimidation.  Demons will use others close to us to create situations that incite our emotions.  The
agitation we feel may become so intense that we might literally react compulsively and consequently lose control.

Attempting to control ourselves  with human will power alone is an exhausting struggle  that Satan will ultimately win.  We need to humble ourselves to the fact that human will power cannot outlast Satan’s power.  However,  when we are able to rest in Christ by ceasing from our own works,  the Holy Spirit  empowers our spirits with strength that exceeds the capacity of our will.  Ceasing from our own works  will enable us to walk in the spirit and not fulfill the lust of our flesh without much effort because we have sought the kingdom and found righteousness. 

The evil spirit’s goal is to take advantage of  and condemn us for what we have been trained to perceive as  past failures, coupled with  worry and fear over the consequences we may face for our actions, causing us to cry over spilt milk.  The demons are skilled at maneuvering  the perceived failures  to motivate a setback. Deliverance counseling can help you to place the past on the dung heap and press forward to the victory that truth brings. 

However, when we are ignorant of Satanic devices, evil spirits can and DO repetitively and consistently employ the same strategies to defeat us, over and over again=== simply because we are ignorant to the fact that whatever failures and mistakes  used by  the devil  to destroy us, God uses it ALL to employ us!”

A perceived failure is just another opportunity to struggle to “enter into His rest.” Once you’ve entered, the struggle is over!  Satan won’t completely give up on you.   However, once you become an overcomer,
you will find the enemy consistently “on the run.”

THE ENEMY AND DELIVERANCE MINISTRY

The bible warns us to “be not many masters, for ours is the greater condemnation.” In other words, “Don’t rush in where fools ought not to tred.” Or “something like that.’  At least, take heed of the worldly proverb which says, “don’t bite off more than you can chew or else you will choke,” if you get my drift.  The bible also reveals  through the prophet David, that man was made “lower than the angels.”Oh, he got THAT right.” 

Only ONE human being—the God/man of the universe— has
power over angels, both divine ones and evil ones.  His name is Jesus Christ of Nazareth.  When we have faith in Him, then when we confront devils, they must obey us,—not because of USbut because of Him!!!  So I warn the so-called “Army of God,”  the Dominionists, the Manifest Sons of God, the army of the locusts or “The New Breed,”—by whatever
handle they are using at the moment.   If you are out of step with the Lord, then don’t expect that the Holy Ghost will protect you from Satan’s army.  Since the major belief among you is that as a  special “Superman type” you are  going to overcome the devil, just know that Satan is laughing at you. When the enemy comes out against you, without the backup of the Holy Ghost,  hopefully you will NOT be dealt with more harshly than were the sons of Sceva. 

Until you’ve been standing “toe to toe” with the enemy, you haven’t a clue of what devils and demons can do to you. After 30 years in ministry—25 of those years in deliverance—, I speak from experience.  When God finally  “un-deceived” me, He politely informed me that “He didn’t call me into deliverance ministry.” 

So since I knew that I didn’t “call myself,” THERE WAS ONLY ONE OTHER CHOICE.  I didn’t have to be a Rocket Scientist to figure out that “the devil called me into deliverance ministry.”  Simple
logic told me that if the devil called me into deliverance ministry, then “the enemy is in FULL control, the author and the finisher of it.” 

I have had many “encounters” with the enemy in what is called “deliverance ministry.” I have watched  all of  the pre-staged shows, the “charades,” and even the circuses, where demons play games and cough,vomit,convulse, whine, growl, talk,  roll, prophecy, and hiss like snakes. The foolish then believe
that because “demons manifested,” the captive is now free. WRONG! I have stood flabberghasted, as a demon picked up a crippled person OUT OF A WHEELCHAIR—a professing Christian who never walked—and mobilized  her to walk down a long aisle toward me in what I call “the Frankenstein
stroll”, screaming the F word, bellowing in a Dracula-type voice,  blaspheming and trying to hit one of those present in the head with a bible
.

The reality is that casting out demons is just the beginning of freedom. Complete freedom can only be obtained when a captive is able to receive the total truth about self, God and the ways of the enemy that trapped him or her off in the first place.

  Demons are like actors who far excel over the master Houdini’s of this world. They can imitate any human voice, appear in a mirage as any  human being, and they communicate with each other
telepathically!!! Whatever you see with your human or even your spiritual eye is “not what you see!!!”   Like movie stars, they like to put on a show.  They particularly like to mock Christians.   So be careful, New Breed!  Even your  “generals” like Todd Bentley haven’t a clue.   You can not  “take back what the enemy has stolen,” because the enemy has stolen YOU!” That’s right!  Joel’s Army is working for Satan!  Get a grip, people!!!  Come out from under Satan by resisting pride.  Humble yourself under the might hand of God and admit that you are in gross error.

Once I got wise and realized that the enemy is in control of deliverance ministry and  any movement that uses the term “spiritual warfare,”  I put on the breaks. 

 So how did I defeat Satan’s personal agenda against me?

 First, I reclaimed my commonsense and learned how to try the spirits.  Throughout,  I stayed at the cross of Calvary!  I resisted personal pride by allowing the Holy Ghost to break me. Therefore, I lost all ambition to be anyone special. It just LEFT!!!  Nothing IN me desires to be a part of Joel’s army as I have been stripped of personal ambition. I no longer seek the help of mega preachers to mentor or embrace my ministry.  In fact, I no longer have “a ministry.”  I no longer stand behind any pulpits nor do I answer to any man’s authority.  Even though man has ordained me and I remain in good standing with my credentials, I no longer submit myself to the approval  of men. I will not be
called, “pastor” any longer, or “Rev” any longer.  When people call me by those titles, with tact, I correct them.

I have ONE General.  Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

 I walk by faith and not by supernatural signs and wonders.  One of my practices is to quickly   admit when I am wrong. I not  only acknowledge my error without rancor, but I also make immediate changes.  When, after 25 years,  God said to me, ” If you stay in that denomination, I will not
be able to use you.  But let them put you out,”  I did just that and in 9 months, I was “outta there!”  When I found error in one of my 6 books, I tried to  immediately take it off of the market.  When that failed, I no longer market it. When the Lord revealed that the enemy had taken over my church, I shut down a church that I loved—one that  I had founded 12 years previously.  Whatever God shows me, I DO ACCORDINGLY– once I have tried the spirits and I am assured that it is HIM.

  As a result, God has been  impressed with my meekness and  my obedience.  Realizing
how truly powerless I actually am, I am constantly shocked when  the Lord honors my prayers. As I write this,   I perceive that I have entered  into  the secret place of the Most High and that  I abide in His shadow. I  stay in His shadow, because, unlike “the New Breed,” I know full well that the devil is exceedingly more powerful than me, in my own strength.  I  also realize that “this is the enemy’s hour,” given to Him by God Himself.  So I understand my boundaries.  I don’t fret, fear, nor am I sad, nor do I say things, like, “Oh, my heart hurts so bad for God’s people.”  I just keep ready and alert for the moment when I perceive that ONE of God’s people has been prepared to be “un-deceived.”  Then I do what “God has called me to do.”

Therefore, the Lord’s  burden is light to me.  As one who continues to cast out devils,  I no longer struggle with them—not even for 5 minutes— once I have uncovered their presence!  I simply  give the command and the Holy Ghost backs me up.  Since I have humbled myself and perceived that in truth, I am nothing where the power of the enemy is concerned,  demons cannot stand before me when  the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth is in my mouth.  I have real faith in His Name.  You cannot have faith in His name if you don’t live a life of repentance or if you don’t understand His bodily resurrection.

 Consequently, it is a dangerous thing to use the rhetoric that I hear in the mouths of those who call themselves frontline warriors, locusts, the new breed, etc. You cannot stomp on the enemy or pull the devil’s teeth.  You are not “the violent who take the kingdom by force” for you have already “been taken.”

SET FREE FROM DEPRESSION AND LUST

By Minister Kellie Wood Leclerc
I believe that a Christian can and does hear the voices of demons parading as the voice of Lord. If a Christian is not willing to believe that not every voice he hears is God, he will be open to being deceived by these same demons to do and say things that are not in line with the will of God. This can be because the Christian is not truly saved, or because he has a spirit of rebellion that makes him think that the voice he hears, thinking it’s God will also be the voice that lines up with his own will.
 I can attest to this because back when I was a new Christian I too, believed that every time I heard this voice, it was the Lords. This drove me to tithe money, give away things and go into relationships that  God never had intended for me. I couldn’t believe that this God who loved me, would allow me to do things that weren’t in His will. I now realize that this was false doctrine that I had picked up in a religious organization. I also began to realize that depression and lust, the traumas that I had endured as a child because of sexual and parental abuse opened doors to these demons as well. The religious organization only exacerbated these demons. I began to experience deep depression that would last for weeks, sometimes months.
I had also developed a serious case of lust that became much worse after being involved with an elder of the church I was attending. It wasn’t until I left the church and all of its false doctrines, that God gave me the desire to search for someone who was inspired by the Holy Spirit to aid in my healing.
This is how I came to know Pamela Sheppard.
 After counseling with Pam, I began to see that my whole Christian life was built on certain doctrinal lies that held me in bondage to these demonic entities that fed off my depression and lust. God then delivered me from these demons because Pamela knew that they were hiding in my emotions, and actually had become part of my personality. Because of this, she cast demons from me  with the help of the Holy Spirit and since that time I have been free from depression and lust for over 2 years now.
If you suffer from trauma that has stemmed from false religions, sexual abuse or depression, it is my belief that you do not have to live in it for the rest of your life. There is hope for you to be healed and whole. If God is no respecter of persons, what He did for me, He will also do for you if you will just be obedient to His will. If this speaks to you and you feel that God is calling you out to a life of freedom in the Holy Spirit click this  link:
I am now one of Pam’s ministers, trained in the SEW Deliverance Counseling Training Program.  I highly recommend it for anyone who either feels a call to minister freedom to others, or who simply wants to know more of the truth.

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE JEZEBEL SPIRIT

Who is the Jezebel Spirit?

It should not surprise you the irony of where the teaching that there is a demon called Jezebel came from. It came from a Catholic nun by the name of Sister Nadine.  Five years ago, while writing the book “the Fake Jesus: Fallen Angels Among Us,”  I wrote this:

 It seems irreconcilable in this instance that the religious demon would work against itself by revealing truth through someone who is herself ceceived by the Jezebel spirit within the Catholic church’s adoration and deification of Mary, the mother of Jesus.  Proceeding with caution in referencing Sister Nadine, I remind myself that very often, a religious demon will release a particular truth through a human vessel because Satan is seeking to draw his prey into a deeper trap.”

At the time, I didn’t know how correct I was.  As it turned out, leaders of deliverance ministry grabbed a tight grip on the Jezebel spirit teaching and propelled yet another false doctrine—that there is a demon called “Jezebel.” As a result, I am constantly getting calls from professing Christian husbands who seek my counsel for a wife that they have “diagnosed” as a Jezebelian.

The truth is Sister Nadine’s teaching is that there is a mental health  disorder known as narcissistic personality.  She then described this personality type from the Christian perspective of evil.  As she wrote, “Religion is where ‘evi’ has most often been described and discussed, and its books mention it often as the end result of un-repented sins. In her discription of the mission and purpose of the Jezebelian personality type, Sister Nadine identified 5 elements:

1) to masquarade as a protection, 2)to kill the prophets 3) to emasculate all men. 4) to curse others and 5) to appear to desire to destroy evil.

Deliverance ministry leaders took what Sister Nadine discovered concerning a personality type and created a hot deliverance topic–the Jezebel Spirit as a demon to be cast out of people, mostly women!.

  Commonsense should have prevailed.  No where in the bible do we see Jesus or any of His disciples casting out “personality types.”  A personality is a work of the flesh, not a demon. Any workers who try to cast out the Jezebel spirit from anyone —is doing something quite foolish.

No such demon exists. They will laugh at you and have some fun!

So who could  Jesus have been  referring to as “Jezebel” in His letter to the church at Thyatira???.  The most logical way to respond to that is to not focus on Jezebel but upon the church at Thyatira.  Who is SHE?  A review of history reveals to me that Thyatira is the church age of Catholicism.  Who is the predominant female in Catholicism?  Mary.  Not the true mother of God, but a demon who masquarades as the Lord’s mother.

In the occult world, there is an ascended master called “Mother Mary.” I wrote about her in the books “the Fake Jesus: Fallen Angels Among Us.”   and also in “the New Idolatry.”  Ascended masters are fallen angels who lie and say that they are the reincarnation of this one and that one, usually a famous person.  Fallen angels  have never been incarnate in flesh.

The bible suggests to us in more than one place that fallen angels are all male.

Mother Mary is a fallen angel, not the Mary of the Bible.  I call Mother Mary  a male angel in drag.  Perhaps that is the reason for so much perversion among Catholic priests and why so many Catholic men are involved in perverse porn. A male fallen angel has infiltrated the Catholic church and when “he” appears in an apparition, he has transformed himself into a feminine image.

What I have discovered is that the enemy is the author of deliverance ministry so that he can divert sincere deliverance workers who are bold enough to face demons in the name of Jesus  with ineffective  sheer nonsence of his own choosing. 

You cannot cast out a fallen angel. I believe that Jesus was speaking to the fallen angel who masquarades in the Catholic Church as His mother Mary, and He insulted and threatened  this entity by calling her “Jezebel.”

THE CROSS, THE RESURRECTION AND DELIVERANCE

 

ARE YOU LOT’S WIFE?

I have been doing the work of deliverance for 28 years and so I learned that I must “plead the blood.” Even so, I know full well that there were times when I did not fully understand the power of the blood, yet  my faith was fully grounded in the power of the Name of Jesus and I have had a modicum of success with casting out demons.  However, the power of His name comes from the power of the cross, the blood and the resurrection.

In order for a deliverance to occur and be long lasting, it is important that both the worker and the captive realize that being crucified to the world is essential to a complete victory over the enemy.  Yet in order to fully understand how to be crucified to the world, the terms need to be defined.

First of all, the world is not the earth.  The world is an invisible group of “systems” that the enemy of our souls is still the god of.  So in simple terms, if Jesus Christ of Nazareth is not Lord over a particular system, that system is a part of THE WORLD.  Put another way, if Christ is not the head of it, it is “the world.”  That includes people, places and things.  For example, if Christ is not the head of your family, then your family is “THE WORLD.”  If Christ is not the head of your school, then your school is “THE WORLD.” If Christ is not the head of your career, your sport, whatever, it is THE WORLD. If Christ is not the head of your church, SHE IS THE WORLD!

Actually, ALL religious systems are a part of THE WORLD, if Jesus Christ of Nazareth is not the head of them.   Christianity and the organized church are a significant part of the religious WORLD. If you are born again, you must be crucified with Christ  to the religious world. Since the religious world includes the organized church system, you must be crucified to Her. If you love the organized church system, then you are a lover of the world.

There are other blogs where I explain why the organized church is a part of the religious world and must be rejected.  Just know that what I write herein is premised on the fact that I believe it was the Lord who spoke to me in 2007 and said that “He has already judged the organized church and that the Holy Ghost has been removed.”  So as I am dead to the world, I am also dead to the organized church and her practices. I don’t argue that point with anyone.  I simply walk by faith and not by sight.  The organized church is quite “visible” yet She is dead to me and I have buried Her.

According the word of God, the cross of Jesus is the great separator between the Lord and every aspect of the world.  Consider Lot’s wife.  When God was destroying Sodom–the visible world—He warned those He was about to deliver “not to look back.”  Looking back was a sign of a love for Sodom and the things of the sodomite world.  Today, some seek deliverance yet like Lot’s wife, the cross has not separated them from the longing that still remains in their hearts for the world.

Two years ago for my 65th birthday, I planned to celebrate by attending a gospel fest held in a Pentecostal church during the holiday season.  I thought to myself, “What could be the harm? After all, there would be no preaching, but only worship through song.  So I ordered 4 tickets. 

Two days later, I heard in the spirit very clearly, “ARE YOU LOT’S WIFE?”

Four little words!  Believe, me folk! My imagination was live! lol No more needed to be said.  I cancelled the tickets with a quickness! Think of it!!! I was planning to return to the enemy’s territory, “to worship God!”  The bottomline is that I was “looking back”, possibly TO GO BACK! Who knows but God. A very bad move  AFTER God had delivered me out of the oppression of the enemy that I had withstood for 25 years!!!.  This is what I believe.  If I  had attended that service, my days of celebrating birthdays would have come to an abrupt end.  The fear of the Lord came on me, a fear that is  the beginning of wisdom!

Some have left the world, even the church world, but like Lot’s wife, the cross has not separated them from the longing that remains in their hearts for the world. So I warn everyone who has an ear to hear and an eye to see.  There is a religious world in our times  which is far more dangerous than other systems that are obviously evil and a part of Satan’s domain. This religious world consists of professing Christians who deny the cross and the resurrection of Jesus Christ in more ways than one.

You see the cross symbolizes deliverance from this present evil age (Gal 1:4),—from the powers of darkness (Col 1:13)—from the devils and demons who rule the world under their leader, Satan–(Eph 6:12) and—-on the resurrection side of the cross—WE ARE TRANSLATED INTO THE KINDOM OF THE SON OF GOD! When we plead the blood, we are telling the enemy that we are dead to his world, that he no longer has authority over us, that we walk in that same power that raised Jesus from the dead. 

Yet–if we look back—Satan treats us as if we were “Lot’s wife.” The cross and the resurrection loses its victory in our lives.  If the world STILL has the power to attract us or to influence our spiritual walk, then we are not crucified.  If we are not crucified, then we are open and vulnerable to demonic attacks and the fate of Lot’s wife can be OUR fate.

We arrive on the resurrection side of the cross only AFTER we have been crucified to the world.  No crucifixion? No power to defeat the enemy. For we overcome Satan by the blood of the Lamb! Pleading the blood is of no consequence to demons if the one who stands as a deliverer of captives is not crucified to the world.

The Seven Chakras Are Demonic Doorways

Sign Up for Email Updates

THE SEVEN CHAKRAS

 Those who have practiced meditation, yoga and who have submitted themselves to various chakra initiations have unknowingly  opened themselves to scores of demons. If you are a practicing Christian  and you are experiencing various energy pulls, shifts, sensations of heaviness, heat and cold, if you find yourself frequently out of control of various body parts, bodily functions  and/or  other manifestations, you are experiencing the outward signs that suggest that you need to be delivered “inside” your spiritual body. Here is why. You have made an invitation to Hindu gods, aka, evil spirits aka demons and fallen angels. Here is a summary of “what has happened.”

Schematic of yoga chakras.

The 7 demonic gateways or doorways

There are seven psychic gates  in the human body that occultists call chakras: The crown of the head,  the forehead between the eyes called the 3rd eye, the throat, the heart,  the navel, the sex organs and the anus. In his testimony, former  grandmaster occultist, “Eric” revealed that these 7 openings are sealed  by God and opened by man through sin.  When they are opened, spirits are  able to pass through these gates or doorways, several at a time.

About  5 years ago, I counseled a very religious man, an Asian who had been  dedicated as a child to Hindu gods, converted as an adult to  Christianity, studying to be a minister in seminary and a member of a  7th day Adventist church. He came to me because he was hearing  condemning, accusatory voices throughout each day.  In counseling we  discovered that “James” was not saved. James has been a long time  practitioner of yoga, a spiritual discipline whose goals are to “open  the 7 gateways.” James’s gateways were wide open. The Lord gave James a  dream, showing him that over each chakra, sat a Hindu deity, aka a  demon–as follows:

1. The crown—Shiva   2. The Third Eye—Hakini  3. the Throat—Savashiva

4. The Heart—Isha  5. the Navel—Vahni 5. 6.The sex organs Vishnu and Rakini,

7. The Anus—Brahma.

During  the  telephone deliverance session, James discerned that scores of  demons were running in and out of each of his gates.  So to stop this, I  had to close the gates by casting out each of the 7 deities. Calling  them by their Hindu names, one by one, they came out roaring, cursing,  screaming and speaking in tongues.  By the way, James had never spoken  in tongues, other than in the  session.

This was a unique  deliverance.  I had never heard of any such thing before or since.  However, after reading what Eric had to say, I will certainly perform  this ritual with others. James was not only delivered of the torment,  but all of his religiosity completely disappeared.

Eric reports  in his book that he has projected himself into the bodies of weak  pastors through the 7th gateway, the anus. When “inside”, he would  evaluate the pastor’s spiritual power through his aura, a feat that Eric  accomplished in two minutes. If the aura is a certain color, then Eric  knows the person is weak in faith. In most cases, the power of the  pastor was weak because of fornication. In his own words, “There are  many men, women, boys and girls who are ravening wolves or agents of  different demons, operating in different churches all over the world.  Women and girls are more in this connection then men. The presence of  such agents in Christian churches will always guide astral spirits on  how to advance their manipulations against Christians.”

According to Eric, the sins that open the 7 gates are:

1. sexual intercourse with a demon in a dream or sex with a prostitute

2. drugs

3. visiting a fortune-teller

4. receiving healing through occult powers

5. reading occult books.

6.  Anger. (By anger, demons transmit certain diseases or sicknesses.  Demons will manipulate people to seek solutions from witches and  occultist—a psychic healer–who himself is an agent of demons in  disguise.

This is no surprise to me. Our Deliverance Assessment  Form gleans this kind of information from clients.  What Eric confirms   is that human spirits, witches and warlocks, and people skilled  in astral travel can enter into one or more of the 7 gates with their  own spirits, and function as if they were a demon spirit. Now I  understand why the Holy Spirit has often led me to call the spirit by  name—a mother, father, relative, rapist, any human being who has put  my client into bondage. In my deliverance counseling practice, I have had success with not only casting out demons but also casting out human spirits from a captive to a demonic soul tie.

If you have opened any of these 7 gateways, you need to have demons expelled from each chakra and then each chakra must be shut down and closed tightly,  the way God intends for them to be.

Deliverance Ministry

MY PERSPECTIVE ON DELIVERANCE MINISTRY

A  simple rule of thumb is that anything that is too complicated, too confusing is a clue that the enemy is involved in it. Deliverance ministry as it has been named and practiced since the early 1970’s is quite complicated, quite confusing.For example, why does a deliverance worker have to know the name of every single demon that he or she confronts? Certainly, demons exist and as the Lord commisssioned His first followers 2000 years ago, born again people have the power to cast them out.

Yet we need to be cautious of any movement where God is not sovereign. Since the 70’s, a ministry has developed where deliverance specialists are like spiritual lawyers who have to figure out the spiritual contracts of the universe by which demons operate by  a huge spiritual lawbook that explains how the law  that may or may not apply.From the Jezebel spirit, to generational curses, to territorial spirits, to binding and loosing, the more complicated that deliverance ministry gets,the greater the disadvantage.

The reality is that angels and demons have been navigating the spirit world for several thousand years.  Put to a tremendous disadvantage, what has happened in deliverance ministry is that workers are forced to question demons to find out needed information in a futile attempt to outsmart and beat evil spirits at their own rules!!!! Now that doesn”t make much sense to me and I can see the hand of the fake Jesus in this.The more complicated the process, the more in control Satan’s kingdom remains.

I have been battling with demons since 1983, so  I have seen how the enemy has tried to dupe me over the years  by complicating deliverance. So today, I stand on a few  essential, un-complicated truths, taken out  of the mouth of Jesus.  First, it is the truth that sets captives free, once the truth is known. So casting out demons indiscriminately will not bring freedom to a captive that refuses to face the truth.  The truth has to be received in doses because most captives have built up a huge wall of defense mechanisms in their soul to block truth.  Also, an evil tree doesn’t bring forth good fruit. So I examine the roots and the fruit in a captive’s life. The enemy can’t attack a believer without God’s permission.  So rather than seek demons for answers, the wise thing to do is to seek God.

I believe  that captives will only become free when they can accept responsibility for allowing themselves to be spiritually victimized. A captive who has not faced himself can only see and feel in the flesh because he has been blinded from true self perception in the spirit. Therefore, he may find it difficult to recognize how much his own sensitivities and hostilities have caused him to be vulnerable to demons. Without facing his true self, deliverance will be mature. In a search for demonic doorways, I begin the deliverance counseling process by plowing the ground of the captive’s soul.
