  • 00:00:07.097 --> 00:00:10.200
  • Based on powerful biblical principles
  • 00:00:10.200 --> 00:00:12.335
  • That will help you stay free
  • 00:00:12.335 --> 00:00:14.337
  • From bondage to sin and demonic oppression.
  • 00:00:14.337 --> 00:00:16.873
  • >> the purpose of deliverance
  • 00:00:16.873 --> 00:00:18.875
  • Is so we can grow in intimacy with him,
  • 00:00:18.875 --> 00:00:20.877
  • Hear his voice, know his word, and fulfill our purpose
  • 00:00:20.877 --> 00:00:23.780
  • Because those chains, those demonic influences
  • 00:00:23.780 --> 00:00:25.782
  • Were holding us back.
  • 00:00:25.782 --> 00:00:27.784
  • Once you get set free, that's actually a first step.
  • 00:00:27.784 --> 00:00:29.919
  • Then we pursue him more, then we know him more,
  • 00:00:29.919 --> 00:00:32.222

  • 00:00:32.222 --> 00:00:34.224
  • And then we fulfill our purpose more.

  • For having me. it's great to be back here.
  • 00:01:57.907 --> 00:01:59.075
  • It's great to be back here. that is such a great question
  • 00:01:59.142 --> 00:02:00.343
  • That is such a great question because even the question of
  • 00:02:00.410 --> 00:02:01.477
  • Deliverance from
  • 00:02:02.579 --> 00:02:03.546
  • Deliverance from a demon is such
  • 00:02:03.613 --> 00:02:04.581
  • Deliverance from a demon is such a controversial question.
  • 00:02:04.647 --> 00:02:05.648
  • A demon is such a controversial question. there are a lot of theological
  • 00:02:05.715 --> 00:02:06.683
  • A controversial question. there are a lot of theological debates and arguments over it.
  • 00:02:06.749 --> 00:02:07.717
  • There are a lot of theological debates and arguments over it. i think it is based
  • 00:02:07.784 --> 00:02:08.751
  • Debates and arguments over it. i think it is based on misunderstanding.
  • 00:02:08.818 --> 00:02:09.786
  • I think it is based on misunderstanding. misunderstanding of what
  • 00:02:09.852 --> 00:02:10.820
  • On misunderstanding. misunderstanding of what it means to have a demon
  • 00:02:10.887 --> 00:02:11.854
  • Misunderstanding of what it means to have a demon and what it means
  • 00:02:11.921 --> 00:02:12.889
  • It means to have a demon and what it means to have demonic influence.
  • 00:02:12.956 --> 00:02:13.890
  • And what it means to have demonic influence. people think possession, think
  • 00:02:13.957 --> 00:02:14.924
  • To have demonic influence. people think possession, think well, if you're a christian,
  • 00:02:14.991 --> 00:02:15.925
  • People think possession, think well, if you're a christian, you can't be possessed.
  • 00:02:15.992 --> 00:02:16.926
  • Well, if you're a christian, you can't be possessed. of course, you can't
  • 00:02:16.993 --> 00:02:17.961
  • You can't be possessed. of course, you can't be possessed
  • 00:02:18.027 --> 00:02:19.128
  • Of course, you can't be possessed but that doesn't mean
  • 00:02:19.195 --> 00:02:20.196
  • Be possessed but that doesn't mean there can't be areas of
  • 00:02:20.263 --> 00:02:21.231
  • But that doesn't mean there can't be areas of a christian's life that have
  • 00:02:21.297 --> 00:02:22.332
  • There can't be areas of a christian's life that have come under demonic influence.
  • 00:02:22.398 --> 00:02:23.533
  • A christian's life that have come under demonic influence. james: you can certainly
  • 00:02:23.600 --> 00:02:24.667
  • Come under demonic influence. james: you can certainly be oppressed and depressed.
  • 00:02:24.734 --> 00:02:26.970
  • James: you can certainly be oppressed and depressed. you can be disheartened,
  • 00:02:27.036 --> 00:02:28.171
  • Be oppressed and depressed. you can be disheartened, discouraged, and deceived.
  • 00:02:28.238 --> 00:02:29.439
  • You can be disheartened, discouraged, and deceived. no doubt about it.
  • 00:02:29.505 --> 00:02:30.707
  • Discouraged, and deceived. no doubt about it. jake: yes.
  • 00:02:30.773 --> 00:02:31.941
  • No doubt about it. jake: yes. many of the struggles
  • 00:02:32.008 --> 00:02:32.976
  • Jake: yes. many of the struggles that christians are facing
  • 00:02:33.042 --> 00:02:34.177
  • Many of the struggles that christians are facing actually are
  • 00:02:34.244 --> 00:02:35.278
  • That christians are facing actually are demonic influences.
  • 00:02:35.345 --> 00:02:36.379
  • Actually are demonic influences. sometimes it is flesh,
  • 00:02:36.446 --> 00:02:37.413
  • Demonic influences. sometimes it is flesh, but sometimes it is
  • 00:02:37.480 --> 00:02:38.648
  • Sometimes it is flesh, but sometimes it is actually demonic spirits.
  • 00:02:38.715 --> 00:02:39.716
  • But sometimes it is actually demonic spirits. if we don't deal with that,
  • 00:02:39.782 --> 00:02:40.717
  • Actually demonic spirits. if we don't deal with that, then the person is not
  • 00:02:40.783 --> 00:02:41.818
  • If we don't deal with that, then the person is not going to be able to walk
  • 00:02:41.884 --> 00:02:43.219
  • Then the person is not going to be able to walk in the full freedom
  • 00:02:43.286 --> 00:02:44.387
  • Going to be able to walk in the full freedom that jesus has for them.
  • 00:02:44.454 --> 00:02:45.722
  • In the full freedom that jesus has for them. and so, that's why i often
  • 00:02:45.788 --> 00:02:47.257
  • That jesus has for them. and so, that's why i often call deliverance
  • 00:02:47.323 --> 00:02:48.491
  • And so, that's why i often call deliverance the missing link.
  • 00:02:48.558 --> 00:02:49.525
  • Call deliverance the missing link. it is a missing link
  • 00:02:49.592 --> 00:02:50.627
  • The missing link. it is a missing link in a person's journey
  • 00:02:50.693 --> 00:02:51.794
  • It is a missing link in a person's journey of freedom, healing,
  • 00:02:51.861 --> 00:02:53.196
  • In a person's journey of freedom, healing, sanctification, holiness,
  • 00:02:53.263 --> 00:02:55.265
  • Of freedom, healing, sanctification, holiness, and walking in transformation
  • 00:02:55.331 --> 00:02:56.599
  • Sanctification, holiness, and walking in transformation because god wants us
  • 00:02:56.666 --> 00:02:57.767
  • And walking in transformation because god wants us to be transformed.
  • 00:02:57.834 --> 00:02:58.935
  • Because god wants us to be transformed. but if we are under some kind
  • 00:02:59.002 --> 00:03:00.236
  • To be transformed. but if we are under some kind of demonic influence,
  • 00:03:00.303 --> 00:03:01.304
  • But if we are under some kind of demonic influence, maybe it is heaviness,
  • 00:03:01.371 --> 00:03:02.472
  • Of demonic influence, maybe it is heaviness, maybe it is oppression,
  • 00:03:02.538 --> 00:03:03.640
  • Maybe it is heaviness, maybe it is oppression, maybe it is fear,
  • 00:03:03.706 --> 00:03:04.807
  • Maybe it is oppression, maybe it is fear, maybe it is lust
  • 00:03:04.874 --> 00:03:05.908
  • Maybe it is fear, maybe it is lust or things like that,
  • 00:03:05.975 --> 00:03:07.010
  • Maybe it is lust or things like that, lies we believed,
  • 00:03:07.076 --> 00:03:08.111
  • Or things like that, lies we believed, then we cannot fulfill
  • 00:03:08.177 --> 00:03:09.545
  • Lies we believed, then we cannot fulfill the calling god has for us.
  • 00:03:09.612 --> 00:03:10.780
  • Then we cannot fulfill the calling god has for us. so yes, deliverance
  • 00:03:10.847 --> 00:03:12.181
  • The calling god has for us. so yes, deliverance is for believers.
  • 00:03:12.248 --> 00:03:13.449
  • So yes, deliverance is for believers. it is part of what jesus came
  • 00:03:13.516 --> 00:03:14.484
  • Is for believers. it is part of what jesus came to pay the price for
  • 00:03:14.550 --> 00:03:15.518
  • It is part of what jesus came to pay the price for when he died on the cross.
  • 00:03:15.585 --> 00:03:16.686
  • To pay the price for when he died on the cross. james: what do you want
  • 00:03:16.753 --> 00:03:17.854
  • When he died on the cross. james: what do you want people to hear today
  • 00:03:17.920 --> 00:03:19.088
  • James: what do you want people to hear today who are listening?
  • 00:03:19.155 --> 00:03:20.290
  • People to hear today who are listening? do they need to wonder
  • 00:03:20.356 --> 00:03:21.891
  • Who are listening? do they need to wonder am i bothered by demons?
  • 00:03:21.958 --> 00:03:23.159
  • Do they need to wonder am i bothered by demons? or can they just know
  • 00:03:23.226 --> 00:03:24.727
  • Am i bothered by demons? or can they just know in fact they are?
  • 00:03:24.794 --> 00:03:26.596
  • Or can they just know in fact they are? i heard from milton green
  • 00:03:26.663 --> 00:03:28.431
  • In fact they are? i heard from milton green who prayed deliverance for me.
  • 00:03:28.498 --> 00:03:30.633
  • I heard from milton green who prayed deliverance for me. it was a miracle that he said,
  • 00:03:30.700 --> 00:03:33.936
  • Who prayed deliverance for me. it was a miracle that he said, "many of your thoughts
  • 00:03:34.003 --> 00:03:35.271
  • It was a miracle that he said, "many of your thoughts are not your own."
  • 00:03:35.338 --> 00:03:36.472
  • "many of your thoughts are not your own." in other words, they didn't
  • 00:03:36.539 --> 00:03:37.540
  • Are not your own." in other words, they didn't originate with you.
  • 00:03:37.607 --> 00:03:38.675
  • In other words, they didn't originate with you. they were suggestions
  • 00:03:38.741 --> 00:03:39.942
  • Originate with you. they were suggestions by the deceiver,
  • 00:03:40.009 --> 00:03:41.044
  • They were suggestions by the deceiver, the deceiving spirits
  • 00:03:41.110 --> 00:03:42.045
  • By the deceiver, the deceiving spirits to you and they become
  • 00:03:42.111 --> 00:03:44.180
  • The deceiving spirits to you and they become tormenting spirits, especially
  • 00:03:44.247 --> 00:03:46.949
  • To you and they become tormenting spirits, especially when you believe them
  • 00:03:47.016 --> 00:03:48.384
  • Tormenting spirits, especially when you believe them because you're believing
  • 00:03:48.451 --> 00:03:49.519
  • When you believe them because you're believing the liar
  • 00:03:49.585 --> 00:03:50.620
  • Because you're believing the liar so you're believing the lie.
  • 00:03:50.687 --> 00:03:51.754
  • The liar so you're believing the lie. therefore,
  • 00:03:51.821 --> 00:03:52.989
  • So you're believing the lie. therefore, you are taken captive
  • 00:03:53.056 --> 00:03:54.023
  • Therefore, you are taken captive by the effect of that.
  • 00:03:54.090 --> 00:03:55.224
  • You are taken captive by the effect of that. jake: so one of the keys
  • 00:03:55.291 --> 00:03:56.459
  • By the effect of that. jake: so one of the keys for people
  • 00:03:56.526 --> 00:03:57.760
  • Jake: so one of the keys for people to receive deliverance
  • 00:03:57.827 --> 00:03:58.928
  • For people to receive deliverance is discernment.
  • 00:03:58.995 --> 00:04:00.029
  • To receive deliverance is discernment. like how do you know
  • 00:04:00.096 --> 00:04:01.164
  • Is discernment. like how do you know whether something
  • 00:04:01.230 --> 00:04:02.298
  • Like how do you know whether something you're dealing with
  • 00:04:02.365 --> 00:04:03.533
  • Whether something you're dealing with is a demonic spirit
  • 00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:04.701
  • You're dealing with is a demonic spirit versus flesh?
  • 00:04:04.767 --> 00:04:05.902
  • Is a demonic spirit versus flesh? so i like to talk about it
  • 00:04:05.968 --> 00:04:07.103
  • Versus flesh? so i like to talk about it like it is a light switch.
  • 00:04:07.170 --> 00:04:08.271
  • So i like to talk about it like it is a light switch. if you walk downstairs
  • 00:04:08.338 --> 00:04:09.305
  • Like it is a light switch. if you walk downstairs into a basement,
  • 00:04:09.372 --> 00:04:10.406
  • If you walk downstairs into a basement, you flip the light switch on
  • 00:04:10.473 --> 00:04:11.474
  • Into a basement, you flip the light switch on and then all of a sudden
  • 00:04:11.541 --> 00:04:12.475
  • You flip the light switch on and then all of a sudden you can see there is a rodent,
  • 00:04:12.542 --> 00:04:13.509
  • And then all of a sudden you can see there is a rodent, there is a pest.
  • 00:04:13.576 --> 00:04:14.544
  • You can see there is a rodent, there is a pest. there is something
  • 00:04:14.610 --> 00:04:15.578
  • There is a pest. there is something in your house
  • 00:04:15.645 --> 00:04:16.612
  • There is something in your house that shouldn't be there.
  • 00:04:16.679 --> 00:04:17.647
  • In your house that shouldn't be there. it was already there but then
  • 00:04:17.714 --> 00:04:18.681
  • That shouldn't be there. it was already there but then when you turned the light on
  • 00:04:18.748 --> 00:04:19.716
  • It was already there but then when you turned the light on now you can see it,
  • 00:04:19.782 --> 00:04:20.750
  • When you turned the light on now you can see it, now you can deal with it.
  • 00:04:20.817 --> 00:04:21.784
  • Now you can see it, now you can deal with it. so we need to be able
  • 00:04:21.851 --> 00:04:22.819
  • Now you can deal with it. so we need to be able to discern
  • 00:04:22.885 --> 00:04:23.820
  • So we need to be able to discern when something is demonic.
  • 00:04:23.886 --> 00:04:24.821
  • To discern when something is demonic. that can happen
  • 00:04:24.887 --> 00:04:25.822
  • When something is demonic. that can happen in multiple ways.
  • 00:04:25.888 --> 00:04:26.823
  • That can happen in multiple ways. sometimes the holy spirit
  • 00:04:26.889 --> 00:04:27.824
  • In multiple ways. sometimes the holy spirit might show us through
  • 00:04:27.890 --> 00:04:28.825
  • Sometimes the holy spirit might show us through the gift of discerning spirits
  • 00:04:28.891 --> 00:04:29.826
  • Might show us through the gift of discerning spirits or through him
  • 00:04:29.892 --> 00:04:30.827
  • The gift of discerning spirits or through him speaking to us
  • 00:04:30.893 --> 00:04:31.928
  • Or through him speaking to us or showing the other person.
  • 00:04:31.994 --> 00:04:33.062
  • Speaking to us or showing the other person. sometimes people discern
  • 00:04:33.129 --> 00:04:34.163
  • Or showing the other person. sometimes people discern because something manifests.
  • 00:04:34.230 --> 00:04:35.264
  • Sometimes people discern because something manifests. like they have
  • 00:04:35.331 --> 00:04:36.366
  • Because something manifests. like they have demonic manifestations.
  • 00:04:36.432 --> 00:04:37.467
  • Like they have demonic manifestations. maybe somebody is praying
  • 00:04:37.533 --> 00:04:38.634
  • Demonic manifestations. maybe somebody is praying for them and all of a sudden
  • 00:04:38.701 --> 00:04:39.635
  • Maybe somebody is praying for them and all of a sudden something comes to the surface
  • 00:04:39.702 --> 00:04:40.636
  • For them and all of a sudden something comes to the surface in a more outward way
  • 00:04:40.703 --> 00:04:42.372
  • Something comes to the surface in a more outward way and they recognize oh wow,
  • 00:04:42.438 --> 00:04:43.439
  • In a more outward way and they recognize oh wow, this is actually
  • 00:04:43.506 --> 00:04:44.507
  • And they recognize oh wow, this is actually a demonic spirit.
  • 00:04:44.574 --> 00:04:45.608
  • This is actually a demonic spirit. but sometimes,
  • 00:04:45.675 --> 00:04:46.709
  • A demonic spirit. but sometimes, it is more of what i call
  • 00:04:46.776 --> 00:04:47.810
  • But sometimes, it is more of what i call "natural discernment"
  • 00:04:47.877 --> 00:04:48.911
  • It is more of what i call "natural discernment" when you put pieces together.
  • 00:04:48.978 --> 00:04:50.012
  • "natural discernment" when you put pieces together. for instance, if a person
  • 00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:51.381
  • When you put pieces together. for instance, if a person wants to be free
  • 00:04:51.447 --> 00:04:53.583
  • For instance, if a person wants to be free in an area of their life
  • 00:04:53.649 --> 00:04:54.984
  • Wants to be free in an area of their life but they're not able
  • 00:04:55.051 --> 00:04:56.219
  • In an area of their life but they're not able to get freedom.
  • 00:04:56.285 --> 00:04:57.687
  • But they're not able to get freedom. and maybe there have been
  • 00:04:57.754 --> 00:04:58.921
  • To get freedom. and maybe there have been certain doors in their past
  • 00:04:58.988 --> 00:04:59.989
  • And maybe there have been certain doors in their past that were opened up
  • 00:05:00.056 --> 00:05:01.023
  • Certain doors in their past that were opened up to the enemy.
  • 00:05:01.090 --> 00:05:02.091
  • That were opened up to the enemy. maybe through sin issues,
  • 00:05:02.158 --> 00:05:03.292
  • To the enemy. maybe through sin issues, maybe through
  • 00:05:03.359 --> 00:05:04.360
  • Maybe through sin issues, maybe through unforgiveness issues,
  • 00:05:04.427 --> 00:05:05.428
  • Maybe through unforgiveness issues, maybe they dabbled
  • 00:05:05.495 --> 00:05:06.496
  • Unforgiveness issues, maybe they dabbled in spiritual occult-type
  • 00:05:06.562 --> 00:05:07.563
  • Maybe they dabbled in spiritual occult-type things in their past,
  • 00:05:07.630 --> 00:05:08.631
  • In spiritual occult-type things in their past, so they opened up these doors.
  • 00:05:08.698 --> 00:05:09.832
  • Are being opened online now.
  • 00:05:11.033 --> 00:05:11.968
  • Are being opened online now. i think pornography
  • 00:05:12.034 --> 00:05:13.035
  • I think pornography is being fed online.
  • 00:05:13.102 --> 00:05:15.805
  • Is being fed online. and i think
  • 00:05:15.872 --> 00:05:17.039
  • And i think those visual images
  • 00:05:17.106 --> 00:05:18.274
  • They open the door for
  • 00:05:20.076 --> 00:05:21.310
  • They open the door for a deceiving spirit to come in
  • 00:05:21.377 --> 00:05:23.079
  • They open the door for a deceiving spirit to come in and get a grip on people;
  • 00:05:23.146 --> 00:05:24.480
  • A deceiving spirit to come in and get a grip on people; on their mind,
  • 00:05:24.547 --> 00:05:25.648
  • And get a grip on people; on their mind, on their appetite.
  • 00:05:25.715 --> 00:05:26.816
  • On their mind, on their appetite. and literally,
  • 00:05:26.883 --> 00:05:27.884
  • On their appetite. and literally, it will be a torment
  • 00:05:27.950 --> 00:05:29.952
  • And literally, it will be a torment because they're always
  • 00:05:30.019 --> 00:05:31.254
  • It will be a torment because they're always putting things before you
  • 00:05:31.320 --> 00:05:32.355
  • Because they're always putting things before you to reach out for
  • 00:05:32.422 --> 00:05:33.389
  • Putting things before you to reach out for that you can't have
  • 00:05:33.456 --> 00:05:34.424
  • To reach out for that you can't have or shouldn't have.
  • 00:05:34.490 --> 00:05:35.458
  • That you can't have or shouldn't have. but they become a tormenter;
  • 00:05:35.525 --> 00:05:36.492
  • Or shouldn't have. but they become a tormenter; they become
  • 00:05:36.559 --> 00:05:37.527
  • But they become a tormenter; they become a controlling spirits.
  • 00:05:37.593 --> 00:05:38.561
  • They become a controlling spirits. and those are evil spirits.
  • 00:05:38.628 --> 00:05:39.595
  • A controlling spirits. and those are evil spirits. those are deceivers.
  • 00:05:39.662 --> 00:05:40.630
  • "unclean spirits."
  • 00:05:41.764 --> 00:05:42.698
  • "unclean spirits." and so a lot of times,
  • 00:05:42.765 --> 00:05:43.733
  • And so a lot of times, things are related
  • 00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:44.767
  • Things are related to uncleanliness,
  • 00:05:44.834 --> 00:05:45.802
  • To uncleanliness, and immorality.
  • 00:05:45.868 --> 00:05:46.836
  • And immorality. like you said, pornography.
  • 00:05:46.903 --> 00:05:47.870
  • Like you said, pornography. i've seen many people
  • 00:05:47.937 --> 00:05:48.905
  • I've seen many people that were struggling
  • 00:05:48.971 --> 00:05:49.939
  • That were struggling with some sort of addiction
  • 00:05:50.006 --> 00:05:51.107
  • Or sexual sin
  • 00:05:52.208 --> 00:05:53.109
  • Or sexual sin and they were trying,
  • 00:05:53.176 --> 00:05:54.110
  • Or sexual sin and they were trying, they were trying to repent,
  • 00:05:54.177 --> 00:05:55.111
  • And they were trying, they were trying to repent, they were trying
  • 00:05:55.178 --> 00:05:56.112
  • They were trying to repent, they were trying to read the word but then
  • 00:05:56.179 --> 00:05:57.180
  • They were trying to read the word but then they received deliverance
  • 00:05:57.246 --> 00:05:58.181
  • To read the word but then they received deliverance and that was again
  • 00:05:58.247 --> 00:05:59.182
  • They received deliverance and that was again that missing link,
  • 00:05:59.248 --> 00:06:00.183
  • And that was again that missing link, something that was missing.
  • 00:06:00.249 --> 00:06:01.184
  • That missing link, something that was missing. and when that unclean spirit
  • 00:06:01.250 --> 00:06:02.185
  • Something that was missing. and when that unclean spirit got cast out
  • 00:06:02.251 --> 00:06:03.186
  • And when that unclean spirit got cast out then they were able
  • 00:06:03.252 --> 00:06:04.187
  • Got cast out then they were able to choose freedom.
  • 00:06:04.253 --> 00:06:05.188
  • In that freedom.
  • 00:06:06.289 --> 00:06:07.190
  • In that freedom. betty: don't you think
  • 00:06:07.256 --> 00:06:08.191
  • Betty: don't you think sometimes we allow
  • 00:06:08.257 --> 00:06:09.192
  • Sometimes we allow those spirits to come in too
  • 00:06:09.258 --> 00:06:10.326
  • Those spirits to come in too because we think
  • 00:06:10.393 --> 00:06:11.327
  • Because we think that's not so bad?
  • 00:06:11.394 --> 00:06:12.361
  • That's not so bad? or do we entertain a thought
  • 00:06:12.428 --> 00:06:14.931
  • We should just say go away.
  • 00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:19.802
  • We should just say go away. i won't allow you
  • 00:06:19.869 --> 00:06:21.003
  • We should just say go away. i won't allow you to take up my time,
  • 00:06:21.070 --> 00:06:22.071
  • I won't allow you to take up my time, my thoughts that way.
  • 00:06:22.138 --> 00:06:23.172
  • To take up my time, my thoughts that way. but sometimes,
  • 00:06:23.239 --> 00:06:24.273
  • My thoughts that way. but sometimes, it doesn't seem so bad
  • 00:06:24.340 --> 00:06:25.274
  • But sometimes, it doesn't seem so bad so we go that's okay.
  • 00:06:25.341 --> 00:06:26.375
  • It doesn't seem so bad so we go that's okay. that's his way of weeding
  • 00:06:26.442 --> 00:06:28.611
  • So we go that's okay. that's his way of weeding himself into our hearts.

  • I've prayed for people that i've delivered from a spirit of death.
  • 00:06:35.952 --> 00:06:36.986
  • That i've delivered from a spirit of death. they were being tormented
  • 00:06:37.053 --> 00:06:38.387
  • From a spirit of death. they were being tormented in their mind; that either
  • 00:06:38.454 --> 00:06:40.089

  • 00:06:53.569 --> 00:06:54.570
  • They didn't even think it was demonic. and then
  • 00:06:54.637 --> 00:06:55.638

  • He can deceive a christian. he can defeat a christian. and i'm telling you,
  • 00:07:38.314 --> 00:07:39.482
  • He can defeat a christian. and i'm telling you, he can make
  • 00:07:39.549 --> 00:07:40.616
  • And i'm telling you, he can make your life miserable,
  • 00:07:40.683 --> 00:07:41.617
  • He can make your life miserable, and that's what he does.
  • 00:07:41.684 --> 00:07:42.885
  • Your life miserable, and that's what he does. but you can be set free.
  • 00:07:42.952 --> 00:07:43.986
  • And that's what he does. but you can be set free. what do you say to somebody
  • 00:07:44.053 --> 00:07:45.454
  • But you can be set free. what do you say to somebody to help them know
  • 00:07:45.521 --> 00:07:47.757
  • What do you say to somebody to help them know there is a path out?
  • 00:07:47.823 --> 00:07:49.258
  • To help them know there is a path out? what do you do
  • 00:07:49.325 --> 00:07:50.393
  • There is a path out? what do you do when you're dealing
  • 00:07:50.459 --> 00:07:51.594
  • What do you do when you're dealing with somebody who knows
  • 00:07:51.661 --> 00:07:53.296
  • When you're dealing with somebody who knows that they have a spirit
  • 00:07:53.362 --> 00:07:54.931
  • With somebody who knows that they have a spirit that has captured them
  • 00:07:54.997 --> 00:07:56.165
  • That they have a spirit that has captured them or is deceiving them,
  • 00:07:56.232 --> 00:07:57.500
  • That has captured them or is deceiving them, or you know it?
  • 00:07:57.567 --> 00:07:58.634
  • Or is deceiving them, or you know it? how do you deal with them?
  • 00:07:58.701 --> 00:08:00.069
  • Or you know it? how do you deal with them? jake: so i often teach
  • 00:08:00.136 --> 00:08:01.170
  • How do you deal with them? jake: so i often teach about three keys
  • 00:08:01.237 --> 00:08:02.338
  • Jake: so i often teach about three keys for deliverance.
  • 00:08:02.405 --> 00:08:03.506
  • About three keys for deliverance. the first one we talked about
  • 00:08:03.573 --> 00:08:04.574
  • For deliverance. the first one we talked about which is discernment.
  • 00:08:04.640 --> 00:08:05.741
  • The first one we talked about which is discernment. the second one is to close
  • 00:08:05.808 --> 00:08:06.842
  • Which is discernment. the second one is to close the door on the enemy.
  • 00:08:06.909 --> 00:08:08.077
  • The second one is to close the door on the enemy. and then the third one
  • 00:08:08.144 --> 00:08:09.145
  • The door on the enemy. and then the third one is to use our authority
  • 00:08:09.211 --> 00:08:10.212
  • And then the third one is to use our authority and cast out the demon.
  • 00:08:10.279 --> 00:08:11.414
  • Is to use our authority and cast out the demon. so james 4:7 says,
  • 00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:12.715
  • And cast out the demon. so james 4:7 says, "submit yourself to god,
  • 00:08:12.782 --> 00:08:13.950
  • So james 4:7 says, "submit yourself to god, resist the devil,
  • 00:08:14.016 --> 00:08:15.251
  • "submit yourself to god, resist the devil, and he will flee."
  • 00:08:15.318 --> 00:08:16.452
  • Resist the devil, and he will flee." so that's a simple version
  • 00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:17.687
  • And he will flee." so that's a simple version of a prayer for deliverance.
  • 00:08:17.753 --> 00:08:19.555
  • So that's a simple version of a prayer for deliverance. so closing the door
  • 00:08:19.622 --> 00:08:20.790
  • Of a prayer for deliverance. so closing the door looks like repentance
  • 00:08:20.856 --> 00:08:21.924
  • So closing the door looks like repentance if a person has sin issues.
  • 00:08:21.991 --> 00:08:23.092
  • Looks like repentance if a person has sin issues. it is repentance
  • 00:08:23.159 --> 00:08:24.360
  • If a person has sin issues. it is repentance if it is unforgiveness
  • 00:08:24.427 --> 00:08:25.561
  • It is repentance if it is unforgiveness in their heart,
  • 00:08:25.628 --> 00:08:26.862
  • If it is unforgiveness in their heart, then i would lead them
  • 00:08:26.929 --> 00:08:27.997
  • In their heart, then i would lead them through forgiving
  • 00:08:28.064 --> 00:08:29.131
  • Then i would lead them through forgiving people who have hurt them
  • 00:08:29.198 --> 00:08:30.232
  • Through forgiving people who have hurt them or they have bitterness.
  • 00:08:30.299 --> 00:08:31.400
  • People who have hurt them or they have bitterness. if they've been involved
  • 00:08:31.467 --> 00:08:32.501
  • Or they have bitterness. if they've been involved in the occult
  • 00:08:32.568 --> 00:08:33.603
  • If they've been involved in the occult then i'll lead them
  • 00:08:33.669 --> 00:08:34.704
  • In the occult then i'll lead them through renouncing
  • 00:08:34.770 --> 00:08:35.805
  • Then i'll lead them through renouncing that spiritual activity.
  • 00:08:35.871 --> 00:08:36.906
  • Through renouncing that spiritual activity. and so that step
  • 00:08:36.973 --> 00:08:38.007
  • That spiritual activity. and so that step is to close the door,
  • 00:08:38.074 --> 00:08:39.108
  • And so that step is to close the door, submit yourself to god.
  • 00:08:39.175 --> 00:08:40.676
  • Is to close the door, submit yourself to god. and then,
  • 00:08:40.743 --> 00:08:42.144
  • Submit yourself to god. and then, once that person does that,
  • 00:08:42.211 --> 00:08:43.546
  • And then, once that person does that, then we go into
  • 00:08:43.613 --> 00:08:44.647
  • Once that person does that, then we go into resist the devil
  • 00:08:44.714 --> 00:08:45.715
  • Then we go into resist the devil which is the actual authority
  • 00:08:45.781 --> 00:08:46.782
  • Resist the devil which is the actual authority that jesus has given us
  • 00:08:46.849 --> 00:08:47.883
  • Which is the actual authority that jesus has given us as believers to make commands.
  • 00:08:47.950 --> 00:08:49.085
  • That jesus has given us as believers to make commands. we can actually command
  • 00:08:49.151 --> 00:08:50.252
  • As believers to make commands. we can actually command unclean spirits
  • 00:08:50.319 --> 00:08:51.554
  • We can actually command unclean spirits to go from people,
  • 00:08:51.621 --> 00:08:52.788
  • Unclean spirits to go from people, to come out of people,
  • 00:08:52.855 --> 00:08:53.823
  • To go from people, to come out of people, and they have to obey us
  • 00:08:53.889 --> 00:08:55.191
  • To come out of people, and they have to obey us in christ.
  • 00:08:55.257 --> 00:08:56.392
  • And they have to obey us in christ. so i try to keep it simple
  • 00:08:56.459 --> 00:08:57.426
  • In christ. so i try to keep it simple with those practical steps.
  • 00:08:57.493 --> 00:08:58.861
  • So i try to keep it simple with those practical steps. every case is unique
  • 00:08:58.928 --> 00:09:00.329
  • With those practical steps. every case is unique so there is no formula.
  • 00:09:00.396 --> 00:09:01.631
  • Every case is unique so there is no formula. we always have to rely on
  • 00:09:01.697 --> 00:09:02.932
  • So there is no formula. we always have to rely on the power of the holy spirit,
  • 00:09:02.999 --> 00:09:04.367
  • We always have to rely on the power of the holy spirit, the leading
  • 00:09:04.433 --> 00:09:05.601
  • The power of the holy spirit, the leading of the holy spirit,
  • 00:09:05.668 --> 00:09:06.669
  • The leading of the holy spirit, but those are some
  • 00:09:06.736 --> 00:09:07.737
  • Of the holy spirit, but those are some basic biblical keys
  • 00:09:07.803 --> 00:09:08.838
  • But those are some basic biblical keys that you can apply
  • 00:09:08.904 --> 00:09:09.839
  • Basic biblical keys that you can apply to many situations.
  • 00:09:09.905 --> 00:09:10.940
  • That you can apply to many situations. betty: the enemy
  • 00:09:11.007 --> 00:09:12.041
  • To many situations. betty: the enemy will try to tell you,
  • 00:09:12.108 --> 00:09:13.109
  • Betty: the enemy will try to tell you, it is not simple.
  • 00:09:13.175 --> 00:09:14.176
  • Will try to tell you, it is not simple. god says, i'm right here.
  • 00:09:14.243 --> 00:09:16.646
  • Just trust me.
  • 00:09:17.780 --> 00:09:18.681
  • Just trust me. confess to me
  • 00:09:18.748 --> 00:09:19.782
  • Confess to me and i will forgive you.
  • 00:09:19.849 --> 00:09:20.916
  • And i will forgive you. i will teach you
  • 00:09:20.983 --> 00:09:22.351
  • I will teach you and show you how to walk
  • 00:09:22.418 --> 00:09:23.819
  • And show you how to walk in the right way.
  • 00:09:23.886 --> 00:09:24.887
  • In the right way. but the enemy wants you
  • 00:09:24.954 --> 00:09:26.222
  • There is no way out of this.
  • 00:09:27.923 --> 00:09:29.158
  • There is no way out of this. you're condemned.
  • 00:09:29.225 --> 00:09:30.393
  • There is no way out of this. you're condemned. jake: he does
  • 00:09:30.459 --> 00:09:31.927
  • You're condemned. jake: he does and that's how he operates.
  • 00:09:31.994 --> 00:09:33.729
  • Jake: he does and that's how he operates. it is so important to remember
  • 00:09:33.796 --> 00:09:35.064
  • And that's how he operates. it is so important to remember that we are fighting
  • 00:09:35.131 --> 00:09:36.298
  • Because jesus
  • 00:09:38.567 --> 00:09:40.002
  • Because jesus already paid the price.
  • 00:09:40.069 --> 00:09:41.203
  • Already paid the price. it is part of what
  • 00:09:41.270 --> 00:09:42.571
  • It is part of what he purchased on the cross.
  • 00:09:42.638 --> 00:09:43.706
  • He purchased on the cross. that's why he shed his blood.
  • 00:09:43.773 --> 00:09:44.840
  • That's why he shed his blood. so we're actually fighting
  • 00:09:44.907 --> 00:09:45.975
  • Of victory in christ.
  • 00:09:47.576 --> 00:09:48.678
  • Of victory in christ. james: you don't beg
  • 00:09:48.744 --> 00:09:49.879
  • Of victory in christ. james: you don't beg the demon to leave,
  • 00:09:49.945 --> 00:09:51.080
  • James: you don't beg the demon to leave, you tell him to leave.
  • 00:09:51.147 --> 00:09:52.281
  • You live as more
  • 00:09:53.816 --> 00:09:55.084
  • You live as more than a conqueror.
  • 00:09:55.151 --> 00:09:56.285
  • Than a conqueror. you can walk over the enemy
  • 00:09:56.352 --> 00:09:57.486
  • You can walk over the enemy like dust, like a scorpion,
  • 00:09:57.553 --> 00:09:59.689
  • That's what he wants us to do.
  • 00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:04.226
  • That's what he wants us to do. the thing about it is
  • 00:10:04.293 --> 00:10:05.394
  • That's what he wants us to do. the thing about it is how do you help people
  • 00:10:05.461 --> 00:10:06.729
  • The thing about it is how do you help people understand, okay,
  • 00:10:06.796 --> 00:10:08.464
  • How do you help people understand, okay, if i've broken the power
  • 00:10:08.531 --> 00:10:09.632
  • Understand, okay, if i've broken the power of the enemy in this area
  • 00:10:09.699 --> 00:10:11.233
  • If i've broken the power of the enemy in this area of deception and defeat,
  • 00:10:11.300 --> 00:10:12.835
  • Of the enemy in this area of deception and defeat, what do i do to stay free?
  • 00:10:12.902 --> 00:10:14.970
  • Of deception and defeat, what do i do to stay free? what's the best thing
  • 00:10:15.037 --> 00:10:16.405
  • What do i do to stay free? what's the best thing i can do?
  • 00:10:16.472 --> 00:10:17.606
  • What's the best thing i can do? jake: that's a great question
  • 00:10:17.673 --> 00:10:18.708
  • I can do? jake: that's a great question because once we're set free
  • 00:10:18.774 --> 00:10:19.842
  • Jake: that's a great question because once we're set free we want to get established
  • 00:10:19.909 --> 00:10:21.077
  • Because once we're set free we want to get established in that place of freedom.
  • 00:10:21.143 --> 00:10:22.311
  • We want to get established in that place of freedom. and so a couple
  • 00:10:22.378 --> 00:10:23.546
  • In that place of freedom. and so a couple of key points there,
  • 00:10:23.612 --> 00:10:24.814
  • And so a couple of key points there, one is renewing our minds
  • 00:10:24.880 --> 00:10:26.148
  • Of key points there, one is renewing our minds through the word of god.
  • 00:10:26.215 --> 00:10:27.483
  • One is renewing our minds through the word of god. because we can get delivered
  • 00:10:27.550 --> 00:10:28.584
  • Through the word of god. because we can get delivered from something
  • 00:10:28.651 --> 00:10:29.685
  • Because we can get delivered from something but now we need
  • 00:10:29.752 --> 00:10:30.686
  • From something but now we need to have our mind renewed.
  • 00:10:30.753 --> 00:10:31.854
  • But now we need to have our mind renewed. that happens as we replace
  • 00:10:31.921 --> 00:10:32.922
  • To have our mind renewed. that happens as we replace those lies with the truth.
  • 00:10:32.988 --> 00:10:34.090
  • That happens as we replace those lies with the truth. and as we spend time
  • 00:10:34.156 --> 00:10:35.157
  • Those lies with the truth. and as we spend time in the word,
  • 00:10:35.224 --> 00:10:36.258
  • And as we spend time in the word, meditating on the word,
  • 00:10:36.325 --> 00:10:37.460
  • In the word, meditating on the word, we spend time with god
  • 00:10:37.526 --> 00:10:38.594
  • Meditating on the word, we spend time with god and just get filled up
  • 00:10:38.661 --> 00:10:39.695
  • We spend time with god and just get filled up by his spirit,
  • 00:10:39.762 --> 00:10:40.896
  • And just get filled up by his spirit, that's really key.
  • 00:10:40.963 --> 00:10:42.364
  • By his spirit, that's really key. and then we're ready
  • 00:10:42.431 --> 00:10:43.499
  • That's really key. and then we're ready to resist the devil.
  • 00:10:43.566 --> 00:10:44.700
  • And then we're ready to resist the devil. if that demon
  • 00:10:44.767 --> 00:10:45.835
  • To resist the devil. if that demon tries to come back
  • 00:10:45.901 --> 00:10:46.969
  • If that demon tries to come back and knock on the door,
  • 00:10:47.036 --> 00:10:48.104
  • Tries to come back and knock on the door, we recognize it right away.
  • 00:10:48.170 --> 00:10:49.238
  • And knock on the door, we recognize it right away. we just say,
  • 00:10:49.305 --> 00:10:50.372
  • We recognize it right away. we just say, no, we resist that.
  • 00:10:50.439 --> 00:10:51.507
  • We just say, no, we resist that. and the more we do that,
  • 00:10:51.574 --> 00:10:52.908
  • No, we resist that. and the more we do that, the more established we get
  • 00:10:52.975 --> 00:10:54.043
  • And the more we do that, the more established we get in that place of freedom.
  • 00:10:54.110 --> 00:10:55.177
  • The more established we get in that place of freedom. then we can walk
  • 00:10:55.244 --> 00:10:56.312
  • In that place of freedom. then we can walk in that full victory.
  • 00:10:56.378 --> 00:10:57.446
  • Then we can walk in that full victory. james: if people would realize
  • 00:10:57.513 --> 00:10:59.014
  • In that full victory. james: if people would realize that you can have
  • 00:10:59.081 --> 00:11:00.716
  • James: if people would realize that you can have a conversation with god,
  • 00:11:00.783 --> 00:11:01.984
  • That you can have a conversation with god, where you talk to god,
  • 00:11:02.051 --> 00:11:03.552
  • A conversation with god, where you talk to god, train yourself to listen
  • 00:11:03.619 --> 00:11:05.020
  • Where you talk to god, train yourself to listen because he loves
  • 00:11:05.087 --> 00:11:06.455
  • Train yourself to listen because he loves to talk to people
  • 00:11:06.522 --> 00:11:08.190
  • Because he loves to talk to people who love to hear his word,
  • 00:11:08.257 --> 00:11:09.925
  • To talk to people who love to hear his word, hear his voice,
  • 00:11:09.992 --> 00:11:11.393
  • Who love to hear his word, hear his voice, know his mind,
  • 00:11:11.460 --> 00:11:12.695
  • Hear his voice, know his mind, and know his will.
  • 00:11:12.762 --> 00:11:14.130
  • Know his mind, and know his will. and so pray that way.
  • 00:11:14.196 --> 00:11:15.931
  • And know his will. and so pray that way. but also, you renew your mind
  • 00:11:15.998 --> 00:11:17.967
  • And so pray that way. but also, you renew your mind when you're reading
  • 00:11:18.033 --> 00:11:19.168
  • But also, you renew your mind when you're reading a love letter from god.
  • 00:11:19.235 --> 00:11:20.269
  • When you're reading a love letter from god. when you realize
  • 00:11:20.336 --> 00:11:21.403
  • A love letter from god. when you realize god wrote this to me.
  • 00:11:21.470 --> 00:11:22.571

  • Christians and people through the ages, he has written a letter to me.
  • 00:11:28.944 --> 00:11:30.379
  • Through the ages, he has written a letter to me. and if you take it that way
  • 00:11:30.446 --> 00:11:31.747
  • He has written a letter to me. and if you take it that way as something personal,
  • 00:11:31.814 --> 00:11:33.115
  • And if you take it that way as something personal, it becomes
  • 00:11:33.182 --> 00:11:34.617
  • As something personal, it becomes almost conversational
  • 00:11:34.683 --> 00:11:35.985
  • It becomes almost conversational when you're reading the word.
  • 00:11:36.051 --> 00:11:37.186
  • Almost conversational when you're reading the word. that is renewing the mind.

  • By the word of god. the word also opens our ears so that we can hear him.
  • 00:11:45.327 --> 00:11:47.363

  • 00:11:47.429 --> 00:11:49.165
  • So that we can hear him. and hearing comes by the word of god,

  • Faith knowing it is him. so this whole fellowship, to me, this is what it is
  • 00:11:59.675 --> 00:12:01.911
  • So this whole fellowship, to me, this is what it is to walk as an overcomer
  • 00:12:01.977 --> 00:12:03.813
  • To me, this is what it is to walk as an overcomer walking over the enemy.
  • 00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:05.581
  • To walk as an overcomer walking over the enemy. so when somebody asks
  • 00:12:05.648 --> 00:12:07.049
  • Walking over the enemy. so when somebody asks the question, what do we do?
  • 00:12:07.116 --> 00:12:08.284
  • So when somebody asks the question, what do we do? are those good suggestions?

  • Jake: absolutely. i think it's also great to understand that deliverance
  • 00:12:12.354 --> 00:12:13.589
  • I think it's also great to understand that deliverance is not meant to be an end
  • 00:12:13.656 --> 00:12:14.790
  • To understand that deliverance is not meant to be an end in itself,
  • 00:12:14.857 --> 00:12:16.025
  • Is not meant to be an end in itself, it is meant to be a beginning.
  • 00:12:16.091 --> 00:12:17.226
  • In itself, it is meant to be a beginning. it is actually meant to be
  • 00:12:17.293 --> 00:12:18.460
  • It is meant to be a beginning. it is actually meant to be like a springboard.
  • 00:12:18.527 --> 00:12:19.728
  • It is actually meant to be like a springboard. the purpose of deliverance
  • 00:12:19.795 --> 00:12:20.930
  • Like a springboard. the purpose of deliverance is to know god more.
  • 00:12:20.996 --> 00:12:22.097
  • The purpose of deliverance is to know god more. the purpose of deliverance
  • 00:12:22.164 --> 00:12:23.332
  • Is to know god more. the purpose of deliverance is so we can grow

  • The purpose of deliverance is so we can grow in intimacy with him,
  • 00:12:24.633 --> 00:12:25.801
  • Is so we can grow in intimacy with him, hear his voice, know his word,
  • 00:12:25.868 --> 00:12:27.102
  • In intimacy with him, hear his voice, know his word, and fulfill our purpose.
  • 00:12:27.169 --> 00:12:28.370
  • Hear his voice, know his word, and fulfill our purpose. because those chains,
  • 00:12:28.437 --> 00:12:29.638
  • And fulfill our purpose. because those chains, those demonic influences
  • 00:12:29.705 --> 00:12:30.806
  • Because those chains, those demonic influences are holding us back.
  • 00:12:30.873 --> 00:12:32.041
  • That's actually a first step.
  • 00:12:33.309 --> 00:12:34.510
  • That's actually a first step. then we pursue him more,
  • 00:12:34.577 --> 00:12:35.778
  • Then we pursue him more, then we know him more,
  • 00:12:35.845 --> 00:12:36.779
  • Then we know him more, then we walk in obedience
  • 00:12:36.846 --> 00:12:37.947
  • Then we walk in obedience to him more, and then
  • 00:12:38.013 --> 00:12:39.181
  • To him more, and then we fulfill our purpose more.
  • 00:12:39.248 --> 00:12:40.316
  • We fulfill our purpose more. if we could keep that in mind
