YOUR BOLDNESS TO REBUKE THE devil IS BASED ON THE QUALITY OF INFORMATION AND THE PERSUASION THAT YOU HAVE.
WHEN BOTH THE DECEIVED AND THE DECEIVER KNOWS THE TRUTH, DECEPTION DIES.
THE IDEA OF COVENANT WAS NOT INVENTED BY satan; THE IDEA OF COVENANT WAS INVENTED GOD.
COVENANTS ARE VERY POWERFUL; ANYTHING THAT GOD WANTS TO DO WITH A MAN AND HE WANTS TO TAKE SERIOUSLY, HE WILL TIE A COVENANT TO IT
THERE ARE THINGS IN YOUR LIFE THAT WILL NEVER THRIVE UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT.
- Apostle Joshua Selman at Koinonia on ‘COMPLETE DELIVERANCE PART TWO’
(PART B).
LEVELS OF satanic INFLUENCES.
There are three levels of satanic influences over the saints as revealed from scripture:
1). Witchcraft (Galatians 3:1).
The Bible’s idea of witchcraft is not drinking blood and eating flesh; those are just extended meanings. The Bible’s idea of witchcraft is not going to a coven in the night and having a meeting. Church Gist. I am not negating those things but I’m telling you that the standard definition of witchcraft from the Bible has nothing to do with any of these things. Witchcraft according to Bible definition is anything that can cause you to err and causing a man to go out of alignment using the tool of deception.
Ephesians 5:6
Notice, every time there’s witchcraft, you will see that there is deviation from the truth, there is disobedience in it. What is witchcraft?
Witchcraft is to cause you to think, to act and to talk in error, using the tool of deception.
2 Peter 2:1-2
2). Manipulation and control of your mind. This one is principally in the realm of the mind; your will, emotions and intellect (Matthew 16:22-23, Luke 22:31-32).
3). Possession: This talks of complete influence and control of your spirit, mind and body (Mark 5:1-15).
Satan does not have that kind of power to just enter anybody anyhow, it takes a lot; there are processes.
Can a Christian be possessed with demons? The answer is no! A Christian cannot be possessed by demons because of the very character of the administration of eternal life. Church Gist. Eternal life demands that you are joined to Christ in one Spirit. Just because a Christian cannot be possessed does not mean satan does not have an activity that a believer can be a victim of witchcraft, manipulation and control. It does not matter how born again that believer is, the cure for witchcraft, manipulation and control is not just being born again; it is putting on the whole armour of God (Ephesians 4:18).
What then is deliverance?
Exodus 3:7-8, Colossians 1:13-14
There are two dimensions when it has to do with the dealings of God and man:
1). The prophetic dimensions, realities from God’s standpoint. That every time God speaks, He speaks from a realm that is finished.
2). Experiential manifestation of that which God intended, happening in time.
Generally speaking, the word deliverance connotes rescue or freedom from bondage, danger and evil. Deliverance also means Salvation.
Deliverance is the scriptural strategy for experientially establishing the victory and authority of Jesus Christ over satan and demonic forces, as it relates to the life and destiny of the believer. Church Gist. Deliverance and by extension spiritual warfare for the believer in Christ is about establishing and manifesting victory rather than fighting for it (2 Corinthians 2:14, 1 Corinthians 15:57).
When it has to do with deliverance, your concern is not fighting satan, demons, curses; your concern is taking advantage of the weapons of victory that have been given to you in Christ. There are weapons of victory that has been given to us in Christ;
1). The power of the Word.
2). The power of the blood.
3). The power of the name.
All of them are not doing the same thing.
By what access point does satan and demons get into the life of believer or find a place in their mind or body? By the privilege of God’s grace, I have studied my Bible from cover to cover and by the privilege of God’s grace, I’ve had the honour of listening to people who really understand this subject. Church Gist. I have studied my Bible and I found out that, as complicated as satan, causes, yokes, altars, foundations, ancestry and all these ills are; there are only three access point that satan has to man and even the believer.
There are three Biblical access points:
1). Covenants.
2). Ignorance.
3). Disobedience.
If you ever find satan manipulating a life, destiny, region or family; it is one or more or all of these access points. Of the three, the most effective access point of satan is covenants because covenant has a legal transgenerational implication. The idea of covenant was not invented by satan; the idea of covenant was invented God. Church Gist. It was God’s own intelligence to manage the inconsistency and emotional frailty of man. Covenant is a non-emotional activity, that means, you can’t just decide to change it. Anything that God wants to do with a man, that He wants to take seriously, He will tie a covenant to it. Covenants are very powerful. Everything that God wants to do with you, there will be covenants.
An altar is simply a system of authorization. The assignment of an altar is to insist that the terms of a covenant remain binding even when those who initiated it are no more. An altar is the spiritual system that supervises compliance to covenants. There is no true covenant until there is an altar and that altar is built and ratified with blood. When a covenant is ratified by blood, an authorization is given that everybody who comes from this region, this spirit, when you see them, have no fear. Through ancestry, bloodline or personal activity, they have brought themselves to that point. That is the reason why when you are dealing with issues of legal access, you do no cast it in Jesus’name, it is the blood that speaks. There are rules of engagement.
In the realm of the spirit, blood is currency and every blood speaks something, but with respect to what we want, the only blood that can speak to the degree of that blood is the blood of Jesus. The blood is one of the witnesses on earth. There are three things that have lived as long as the earth; water, blood and the spirit.
I’m not just speaking from scripture alone; I’m speaking from experience. There are things in your life that will never thrive until you understand the rules of engagement. When you know the truth, when both the deceived and the deceiver knows the truth, deception dies. When you come to the point of knowledge, the deceiver does not have an advantage over you. Your boldness to rebuke the devil is based on the quality of information and the persuasion that you have. Church Gist. Listen, I have held many charms with my bare hands. I have prayed for many people, this is what I do; I have seen many spirits, I have met many demon spirits, I can tell you; the strength of satan is in his power to deceive. The strength of satan is in the continual ignorance of the saints and the inaccurate construction of our spiritual understanding (John 1:5).
I don’t know how true it is but I hear it is the story of Archbishop Benson Idahaosa when someone dropped a dead chicken or something of that sort and they saw the chicken, it was supposed to be a ritual for them to die and they carried the chicken and said, “we cannot waste this chicken like this” and they boiled it and ate it in peace and they went and slept and woke up because you see, before satan attacks, he finds out what God told you and he finds out whether you know and believe what God told you. The trouble is, if you believe what God told you and you know how to make it happen and remain in your life, now you have defeated him totally.
Isaiah 49:24-25
There is a cure to demonic covenants, yokes, spells, hexes and all these things. When Jesus Christ hung on that cross, it was not just the body of a 33-year-old man hanging, his blood was touching the earth. When he drained his blood and according to the revelation of Paul to the Hebrew church, when he went as a High priest and a Lamb also, He poured his blood once and for all and returned back to the earth and said, all authority in Heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Revelation 5:5-6
The Lion of Judah has prevailed!
Satan is not looking for your money, fruitfulness, job or health; he’s looking for transgenerational loyalty and that the structure of his operation largely is deception. He manipulates strategies that fight the Word of God. The principal raw material for fashioning his attack against you is the Word of God. It’s amazing that it’s not only God and believers that use the Word of God; satan uses it too. Satan has deceived pastors, churches; for instance, the understanding and the theology that you should concentrate on serving God in your spiritual life and don’t worry whether you are doing well or not, it looks like a sincere message but that is destructive message. Church Gist. Many sincere people have received it and today, they cannot pay the school fees of their children and today, they are in trouble. For others who come and fall into this deception; everything is about prosperity and money and making it; and they forget about strengthening believers to be strong. No knowledge of the truth, no evangelism, no nothing and people become carnally minded; all they want is competition of clothes and cars and all of that; that is another kind of error but when the Spirit of truth comes, He will bring the whole truth and create a balanced, structured growth.
PRAYERS:
- In the name of Jesus, the Son of the living God whatever level of influence the enemy has over me, my destiny and loved ones; I declare that I am completely free from his influence.
- 2 Corinthians 10:4-5
A strong hold is a negative mindset that has been fortified by the presence of demon spirits to ensure that the victim remains in that thought pattern.
Lay your hand on your head, representing your mind and I want to begin to prophesy; I have a sound mind in the name of Jesus. A mindset that is Word-based and Word- compliance.
When Satan is operating on legal basis, you don’t cast him; you engage the Blood. The blood is the system that vetos every legal operation of satan because the blood is payment too. Church Gist. Every time satan stands to accuse you before God, if the blood did not speak; he is right. So what you do in that state is to plead the blood. The moment you plead the blood, the scene of judgement changes, it’s no longer you; it will be Jesus standing there.
- I want you to plead the blood over your wife, husband, children, business and family; every legal access that is giving satan access over my life, I declare that voice is silenced!
- In the name of Jesus, I decree and I declare that by the blood of Jesus, the blood of the eternal covenant; every legal access that satan has over my life, family, children and territory, by the blood of Jesus, I declare that access broken now. I declare and I declare that I am a partaker of the righteousness of Jesus Christ. Church Gist. Therefore, I pass a decree as one anointed of God; satan take your hands off me, my job, my destiny, my health; I decree it is a new season. I decree only the Word of God comes to pass in my life. Your strategies of deception over me will not work again. I declare that I have Spiritual enlightenment; I am a child of God, you have no power over me. The blood speaks against; it speaks for for me but it speaks against you in Jesus’ name I pray!
