It is
Father God and His Son Jesus Who Open & Close Spiritual DOORS
affecting our Healing
Yes,
Yes, Schizophrenics do get better. Some much better and some all better. Praise God. Some get better with time. Some get better with
medications. Some get
better with nutrition and vitamins. Some get better by attending healing services. Some
get better miraculously. Some get well, fast as a tornado and some get well,
slow as a turtle.
Regardless. God is at work in all. (regardless of one's beliefs, for God is our lover,
our creator).
Daniel, as recorded in Daniel 4:34 NIV Bible, speaks of a Babylonian king's
healing of mental illness. -
"At the end of that time, I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward
heaven & my sanity was restored. Then I praised the Most High; I
honored and glorified Him who lives forever."
Nebuchadnezzar's
complete healing was not year: l, 2, 3, 4, 5, nor 6, but 7.
God is not only in the medical business of restoring sanity in the old
testament, but also in the new testament +
today & tomorrow,
for God is not dead. Today most
doctors do not come to us; we go to them. Doctor God is waiting for us to
come to Him, not begging, but trusting, without any doubt. Only then can
He help us adequately, for doubt brings hindrance like puss is to a wound.
The Letter of Aristeas verses 312-316
in the Pseudepigrapha (written 200 BC) speaks
about insanity
resulting from violating holy scripture or acting regarding sacred things
without explicit consent from God. God has times & seasons for holy
revelations. -
www.ccel.org/c/charles/otpseudepig/aristeas.htm
"He (King Ptolemy of Egypt) said to Demetrius (President of the king's library),
'How is it that none of the historians or the poets have ever thought it worth
their while to allude to such a wonderful achievement?' He replied, 'Because
the law is sacred and of divine origin. Some of those who formed the intention
of dealing with it have been smitten by God &
therefore desisted from their purpose.' He said that he had heard from Theopompus that he had been driven out of his mind for more than 30 days
because he intended to insert in his history some of the incidents from the
earlier & somewhat unreliable translations of the law. When he had recovered a
little, he besought God to make it clear to him why the misfortune had befallen
him. It was revealed to him in a dream, that from idle curiosity he was wishing
to communicate sacred truths to common men, & that if
he desisted, he would recover his health. I have heard, too, from
the lips of Theodektes, 1 of the tragic poets, that when he was about to adapt
some of the incidents recorded in the book for 1 of his plays, he was
affected with cataracts
in both his eyes. When he perceived the reason why the misfortune had befallen
him, he prayed to God for many days & was
afterwards restored."
Often there are spiritual
doors one must open before going
into full permanent recovery.
However, God can never, never be put into a box.
In Revelation 4:20 KJV God says, "Behold, I stand at the door
&
knock.
If any man hears My voice & opens the door, I will come in to him & will eat
with him & he with Me."
John 10:9
TNAB "I am the gate (door).
Whoever enters through Me will be saved."
Let us consider a few of many doors to God, to eternal
life, &
to His healing:
Doors of:
appropriation
(Did you know that healing is in Jesus' atonement just the same as
salvation is?)
(Did you know that we do not have to accept our illness, in Jesus Name?)
(We can speak TO disease, problems, germs, weather & evict in Jesus'
name.)
resisting Satan in the Name of Jesus
(Did you know that we can stand up to Satan, in Jesus Name?)
shofar blowing
(imparts deliverance
& healing )
Trumpet or horn blowing is found in scripture & announces God's
blessings.
Judges 6:34 The Spirit of the Lord came upon Gideon, who blew a
trumpet. www.step-by-step.orgMinistry of the Shofar by Jim Barbarossa
speaking out loud what God says in the Bible & not what we feel, see or
think that disagrees with scripture
(Did you know that the Devil is hard of hearing.
Seems that he can give you wrong thoughts, but he can NOT read your thoughts. You need
to speak out loud to him constantly like a broken record, until he gets
the message that you mean what you say.)
Speak the Word of God
1 door
to
healing is
receiving communion: bread (body of
Christ) &
wine (blood of Christ) at church. In The HiddenPower of the
Believer's Touch Chavda calls receiving communion one of the keys to
healing. Scripture tells us that many become sick & die for taking
communion, without first confessing our sins to God: (1st Corinthians 11:27-30) -
"Therefore, whoever eats the
bread or drinks the cup of the Lord (takes communion) in an unworthy
manner will be guilty of sinning against the body & blood of the Lord.
A man ought to examine himself (go to confession) before he eats of the bread & drinks of the cup.
For anyone who eats & drinks without recognizing he body of the Lord eats & drinks judgment
on himself. That is why many among you are weak, sick & (a number) have fallen asleep."
Sanctified visualization and meditation (holy
imagination & NOT blank empty minds) can
be a valuable tool during
communion. For instance, say that you have arthritis in the hip.
Then you can picture the slain Lamb of God taking your diseased hip bone and
replacing your hip bone with a new 1 from His parts department. Christ
became sin & diseased on the cross. His maladies are those of ours
yesterday, today & tomorrow.
The brain can be healed the same way.

Henry Wright's CD Teaching on Health & Disease: Relative to the Sacrament of Communion may be of value.
2 Catholics have had wonderful healings in their ministries incorporating
"healing mass for the living" & "Requiem mass for deceased relatives".
English psychiatrist Kenneth McAll's A Guide to Healing the Family Treewww.marianland.com, + Father John Hampsch's Healing the Family Tree,
& Healing Power of the Eucharistwww.claretiantapeministry.org
explain that when conventional medicine fails, Doctor Jesus does not. They
teach their congregation to forgive both the living & the deceased relatives &
to then take communion, because the blood of Jesus goes backwards down the blood
line to remove all curses & forward to give blessings in their own blood line.
They encourage their congregation do a genealogical family tree which is to also
include the family sins & diseases. This often reveals inherited curses
which need to be confessed, forgiven & put under the blood of Jesus.
Henry Wright
www.pleasantvalleychurch.org believes that a lot of our unconfessed
sins stem from evil spirits, like pus being the result of infections &
illness being the result of inherited diseases. For example, the "spirit"
of fear can cause strokes, high blood pressure, stress, anxiety & paranoia.
Jesus told us in His traditional Lord's Prayer to forgive others so that our
heavenly Father can forgive us. When we forgive others, ourselves & even
God, that opens the door for God to begin healing in that area, to lance the
area where the pus is. Often many curses are due to spiritual &
psychological issues, even as far back as childhood. Forgiveness is
not about the other person, rather it is about allowing Doctor Jesus to begin
His operation on & in our lives & allowing Dr Jesus to start the healing process
in our hearts, minds & bodies. Henry Wright believes that bitterness against dead people
can be resolved by forgiving them before God. The Lord's Prayer says,
"Father, forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us."
The point being that God looks at the heart, our heart.
2nd, if someone else has grudge against us, then that is his problem between him
& God. If we have done all that we can do to
remedy any situation in which we are guilty, then the rest is up to God.
God looks at the heart not the sin, per Wright.
What about abuse? If our parent or our mate abused us physically or
violated us mentally or spiritually, do we have to honor them? Wright
suggests no, we do not have to keep secret their evil deeds when talking to the
medical, church, or therapy community which is in place to help us heal.
We can honor them the way we would honor a friend, but not allow our family to
abuse us, ever again. When we go to the altar & forgive, we release the
enemy from having to fix the sin, apologize, give us alimony, whatever we
expect. We allow the Lord to become our husband and provider.
Linn, Matthew & Dennis - Healing Life's Hurts -
Paulist Press Linn, Matthew & Dennis - Deliverance Prayer -
http://www.linnministries.org/ -
"90% of those having evil spirits have an open door due to deep
hurts in life, making it difficult to get close to Jesus. Often they
(clergy) counsel those seeking deliverance to 1st attend the (morning)
Eucharist daily for a month & (stay in church) after the Eucharist
to spend a half hour adoring Jesus. This weeds out those coming only for
relief and unwilling to make a deep commitment to Jesus...Those returning are
often free of all spirits, because they have grown closer to Jesus... The evil
one will leave easily & for good only when all wounds
(invitations/incentives/legal grounds for) inviting him (the evil spirit) back
are healed (gone)... Be (not) so concerned about whether or not they have
(one
has) an evil spirit, but rather (more importantly) whether they are (one is)
growing closer to Jesus Christ."
(Remember, Jesus counseled the disciples to be joyful that their names were
written in heaven, rather than joyful because demons had fled during their
ministry to demonized individuals.)
INIQUITY = INHERITED Disease
Another intriguing issue is that of a child's
inherited
disease, where the root cause is the parent's sin. Wright contends that
he has seen children instantly healed when the parents acknowledge & confess to God
their sin. 1st Corinthians 7:14 says, The unbelieving husband is
sanctified by the wife & the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband; otherwise your
children would be unclean (cursed with problems), but as it is, they are
holy
(blessed with God's mercy and kindness)..
Henry Wright
in his book A More Excellent Way
further contends that some are not healed because God looks at the heart instead
of the brain. Attitude seems to be a big ticket item with God. Judas
was 1 of the chosen disciples, yet he did not ask for forgiveness when he sinned.
Saul was chosen, yet he did not ask for forgiveness when he sinned. David
was chosen, but he did ask for forgiveness when he sinned. Wright goes on
to say that temptation is not a sin. Just because we think something does
not make us condemned. According to Wright, an exception would be fantasy
lust, where we commit acts in our mind. If we are married this affects our
mate.
With mental illness the lines are not so clear.
This is when we need to go back to God's heart and trust His love and mercy
always remembering that condemnation comes from Satan. Second, we must
always remember never to harm oneself or another individual. For instance,
if I believe that God wants me to sacrifice a child or kill an individual, I
would follow a rule of "When in doubt, do not do it.", or "Thou shall not kill",
murder, mercy kill, commit suicide, etc - Perhaps have person diagnosed with
mental illness/psychiatric illues sign a contract (or health proxy) to allow
temporary intervention when s/he has shared that s/he plans to harm myself or
another. (Problematic as some states/nations allow patient to have same
day assisted suicide. Often better to intervene spiritually.)
Wright teaches that "Christians" often do not receive
healings due to lack of "sanctification", that is daily repentance & growing
spiritually in the Lord.
Matthew 6:33 explains this. Seek first the kingdom of God & His righteousness;
& all things (items on your wish list)
will be added to you.
Finally Wright notes that, as long as "Christians" do not
know scripture, they will be defeated by the enemy, for they will not be
able to distinguish between God's thoughts, Satin's thoughts & human thoughts.
Perry Stone contends that we need
daily communion, just as Moses and his tribe
did when they daily partook of the manna. that fell from heaven into the desert.
Remember, for 40 years no one got sick, nor did their shoes or clothes wear out.
Stone believes that those who take daily communion will be healed, will keep
their healings & be protected as was the Tribe of Moses, from disease, enemies,
harm & lack of food or water.
www.perrystone.org
Stone has 3 items which may be of interest: Meal that Heals' video, book,
communion set.
Even if one were to label healing of the mind as
a psychosomatic cure, speaking positively & in accordance with the will of God
would still trigger a spiritual law of cause & effect in the soul, in the spirit
& in the invisible spiritual realm, the same way the scientific
law of
gravity would cause a rock to fall instead of rise on the earth.
There is a wonderful story told by Liardon in John G Lake, The Complete Collection of His Life Teachingswww.robertsliardon.org
It tells of lepers in South Africa who were healed at
communion on
Christmas eve. Now that is no psychosomatic cure. That is
the real
thing done by a real God. A God who is not dead, but is alive, today, in
this generation.
Dr John Miller has two 2003 radio broadcasts on cassette
espousing the healing virtue of communion.
www.sidroth.org
Iniquity Scripture
JOB 34:22 KJV There is no darkness, nor
shadow of death, where the workers ofiniquity may hide
themselves.
BLOOD OF JESUS Healing through applying the
blood of Christ
Another door to healing is
appropriating the Blood of Jesus. The old testament church applied the blood of a
lamb to forgive sins and the blood of a lamb to prevent death. Jesus
Christ came to fulfill the old testament requirements. The lamb of the old
testament is a symbol of the Messiah, the Lamb of God. In communion
we drink His blood & eat His body. When we speak aloud, "Blood of Jesus",
both to ourselves and to Satan, we disarm the enemy & empower the angels to
assist us. Whether we drink or apply the blood of the Messiah, we tap into His
forgiveness, healing & protection. Joyce Meyer has a music
CD on the blood of Jesus. 1 day a lady had the urge to play that tape.
As she got out of her chair to respond to God's urging, a bullet whizzed by the
place where she had been sitting, hit metal & bounced back at the robber
outside the window. www.joycemeyer.org
Repentance
The front door of Christianity is
confession: asking Jesus Christ
for & receiving forgiveness of our:
(own, family, tribal & national) sins.
To be healed or to stay healed one needs to forgive. (This does not mean that
we allow another to harm us.)
The Lord's Prayer reads "(Lord) Forgive us
our trespasses, as we (also) forgive those who trespass against us."
(Matthew 6:12) - Jesus Christ paid the penalty
for our sins on the cross.
Jesus says He is the door to God and the
door to eternal life.
"I
(Jesus) am the door: By Me if any man enter in, he shall be saved."
(John 10:9 KJV)
Once we have been forgiven of our sins & forgiven others, then we invite Jesus
into our heart to live permanently. He always says yes. One
can be a pastor or theologian & have head
knowledge, but Jesus does not live in the head, He lives in the heart.
Heart knowledge is comparable to marriage consummation, where each mate knows
each other
in an experiential manner which they did they did not comprehend
prior to virginity. Elly Matz, a holocaust survivor, tells in It Was Worth It All of a
priest who had her repeat this prayer, after she had confessed her sins, &
before he gave her communion, "Lord Jesus, come into my heart." Then he
gave her last rites & told her that when she died she would go to heaven.. Instead of
dying she was immediately healed. What a grand illustration of God acing
in communion.
There is another
confession, that of saying out loud to
ourselves and others that we are a chip off the old shoulder, in other words, a
child of God with God like qualities, not the former self, with the enemy's
self-defeating character traits of Satan, our former father. When we
become a child of God, we become princes & princes with lots of inheritance
and lots of power. We are no longer a nobody. We are a somebody - to
God. A family member. Let us, as would any adopted child, begin to
identify with our new value.
Let us internalize who we are - in God, lest we sabotage ourselves & others.
As we practice our new walk with God, we
will blossom into the son or daughter we already are, for an adopted child is
never disinherited nor divorced nor disowned. As we learn to trust our
new
Dad, then we will be more able to lay claim to those healings we need so badly.
Some of those healings will sneak into our life without our immediate awareness,
as we relish our relationship with our new Dad. It is imperative that we
read His word daily,
so we will recognize all that we are in Him.
There is a 3rd
confession, that of always speaking aloud and
in our heart those words of God found in scripture. It encompasses NOT
speaking those words and thoughts which are from our old nature and from Satan.
Such words are our enemy & will demoralize & defeat us Beware lest we
speak gossip, illness, disease & death. Speaking aloud such words glues
them to ourselves & blocks God's healing work. We become a danger to
ourselves. Cancer, for example, multiplies under such adverse confession.
Now we know why the Bible talks about cutting out our tongue. However,
please do not do this. It is the mind that gives permission to the mouth.
Every muscle needs exercise. We need to exercise the muscle to shut up,
when we feel like confessing our weaknesses. Let us instead, when we go to
our therapist, confess the good things that are happening in our lives plus the
hopes and goals that we have. If our counselor asks a question, we
can
say yes or no, but we do not need to repeat weekly the woes we have
previously shared.
Positive Thinking
The Door of Positive Thinking
and Not Stinking Thinking is profound. God SPOKE the world into existence
from nothing, whereas the Devil SPOKE disease & evil into existence by deceit
& lies. (The greatest lie of the Devil is "that there is
no Devil".)
(The 2nd greatest lie
of the Devil is "that there is no God.") Our SPEAKING
positively out loud God's (Scriptural) truth & best goals grows health.
Our speaking negatively makes the Devil happy & contributes to disease & death.
Don Gossett in What You Say Is What You Get, cites Kenneth Hagin
who says that Mark 11:23 is the secret to success
in obtaining miracles from
God. What is Mark 11:23? It is Jesus Christ saying, "Whoever shall
say...& NOT doubt in his heart, but believe that those things
which he says, shall come to pass. He shall have whatever he says." The Apostle Paul says to
the Philippians, "I can do all things through Christ
Who strengthens me." Gossett claims, "Now, that's the secret...Instead of
saying, 'I can't receive healing.' Begin to affirm: 'Through Christ Who
strengthens me, I can do all things; I can receive healing. I can be
made completely whole through Christ, Who is my strength & healer; by His
stripes I amhealed.'"
Gossett and Kenyon in The Power of
Your Words, contend that Holy Spirit filled Christians are impotent to do
God's work, due to "foot in mouth disease". They lack power due to their
silence or negative speech. The implication is that devils, disease &
death cannot flee without God speaking to their ears through our mouths.
Most of us have that ability to "bite our tongue" before speaking a negative
word + the ability to talk when we
need to, so let us go for the gold.
Our best weapon for health is right in our own mouth, not the doctor's hands,
not the priest's hands, our hands. An illustration is depression. Suppose I take
meds for that. As I daily exercise positive confession, regardless of
how
I feel, my mood improves as I am obedient. It is imperative that we
speak what God speaks in scripture & that we refrain from speaking what our 5 senses
dictate.
We are not to repeat over & over our fears & doubts,
especially not at bedtime... There are spiritual as well as
physical muscles. God is not dead, but asleep inside us.
As we
exercise our spiritual muscles, God will begin to wake up in our lives.
Practice, practice, practice. Practice speaking God's word not our own
word.
This is not a mind
game. It is allowing God to grow us up. We all have weak knees.
Let
us be patient, both with God and ourselves.

Baptism in the Holy
Spirit
Water baptismin the Name of Jesus &
baptismin the Holy Spirit are doors to
healing. Acts 19:2-6 explains: "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you
believed?"
They answered, "No, we have not even heard there is a Holy
Spirit." So Paul asked,
"Then what baptism did you receive?" "John's
baptism," they replied. Paul said, "John's baptism was a baptism of
repentance. He told the people to believe in the One coming after him,
that is, in Jesus." On hearing this, they were baptized into the name of
the Lord Jesus. When Paul placed his hands on them the Holy Spirit
came on them, and they spoke in tongues & prophesied. Smith Wigglesworth contends that baptism in the Holy Spirit is a must for
every human who wants to live a disease free life. Mahesh Chavda
in The
Hidden Power of the Believer's Touch blesses us with a story of an insane
woman who became
well after going swimming near a group of people who were being
baptized
in the Congo River, for the Lord did not pass her by.
R Liardon in John G Lake, The Complete Collection of
His Life Teachings
www.robertsliardon.org shares a wonderful story of Lake's first deliverance
(immediately after God had baptized John G Lake as the early disciples had
received it & after God
had told Lake that he would cast out demons). A
grain elevator manager became insane while attending a religious service
& was committed to an asylum. 2.5 years later that same man was brought by a
hospital staff attendant & delivered by God during Lake's service. Not
only that, the man got his old job back as manager. Awesome. Lake
went on to say that at that time he had seen God deliver over 100 mentally ill
people. Now that was around 1898. Oh that more people then & more
people now would be aware that God is still healing the incurable.
During a June 2003 television broadcast, Binny Hinnwww.bennyhinn.com told how
(jewelry) a
snake ring contained demonic power, but when removed the young lady was
set free
from male voices and violent energy. He also told how his own father
was prevented from coming to God, until he burned 1 of his dad's hidden books.
The ring would not come off, nor would the book burn until the Name of Jesus was
applied. As the book burned, voices came out of the book. That is a
glimpse into the real world of demons, who can inhabit inanimate things &
molest the owners of such ungodly possessions. Beware of what you call a
treasure, lest the treasure contain a genie begetting evil rather than good.

Intercession
Another door to healing is intercession.
One might enjoy Jim Goll's The Lost Art of Intercessionwww.reapernet.com
In Scripture Jesus said
that where 2 or 3 are gathered
together in His name, there He is also.
There is a breath taking autobiography of Lake & his congregation who together with God cured an insane
woman miles away in an institution. It compels us to enter the door
of intercession & group prayer, so that God may continue to rescue.
John G
Lake's 9/27/2014 sermon complied by Roberts Liardonwww.robertsliardon.org is astounding:
"I have told you in this congregation on another occasion of how a friend of
mine arose one Sunday morning in our tabernacle & presented a
request for prayer with many tears saying, 'I have been a member of this
congregation for 4 years. I have witnessed God
heal all kinds of people: the lame, halt, blind, deaf, dumb, insane, etc.
This morning I
am convicted of God that I have never even presented a request for prayer for a
cousin of mine, who is in an insane asylumin Whales.' Something about the man's spirit touched my own heart.
The spirit of God was deeply present.
I invited the congregation to join
in prayer as I knelt on the platform to pray.
As my heart went out to God in prayer, something transpired within & to me that
I can only describe like this: Presently, my sight & consciousness were
awakened to the fact that from this one and that one, from perhaps a hundred
divergent streams, faith & power was coming to my spirit & concentrating in me
as shafts of light. Indeed, it was the spirit of faith being imparted to
my spirit from the hearts of those who knelt throughout the house. An
unusual consciousness of God's power & presence swept over me...
In my consciousness I observed that I was no longer in that
tabernacle. The 1st place I became aware of was passing the city of
Kimberly. Then I became conscious that I was at Cape Town, South Africa, 1,000
miles from Johannesburg... I remember the Cape Verde
Lighthouse on the coast of Spain. I remember...passing
the
shores of France. I entered the hills of Wales (I had never been in
Wales), but as I went over those hills...I came to a little
village...Outstanding was a building that I recognized as the asylum. I went into that place, walked straight into the room where a woman was
strapped to the sides of a cot & as consciously as I stand here now I put my
hands on the woman's head & in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ
rebuked the
insane spirit that possessed her & cast it out. Her face became calk.
She smiled up into my face.
I
recognized in the look of her eyes the awakened consciousness.
All the time I had been kneeling on the platform at
Johannesburg,
my heart & voice had been expressing my desire to God...
Throughout the word of God we read many times this expression,
'The Spirit of the Lord caught away Elijah, the Spirit of the Lord caught
away Elisha, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Jeremiah.' or Amos or 1 of the
other prophets. Now that doesn't mean
that their physical body was
transported to another place in all instances, though in some
I believe it does.
But it does mean that the inner man, the conscious spirit man, was
transported for the time being to another place. He saw & performed acts
there.
As quickly as a letter could come from Wales, my friend
received a letter saying,
'A strange thing has happened. Our cousin who
has been in the asylum was suddenly and instantly healed on the last Lord's day
& she is well.' Beloved, I was there. I could tell you to this hour of the
old-fashioned brass that was on the door and the pattern of that old Welsh
knocker on the door. There was not a detail of the room that I did not see.
There was not a detail of the trip from Africa to Wales that
I was not as conscious of as I was at a later time when I came via that
route on purpose, to prove whether or not it were a fact... My person and being was in the attitude of prayer on the
platform at Johannesburg, but I was conscious. And the woman was
conscious that out from by being something went that carried my
consciousness with it, and I consciously performed acts and witnessed scenes
that in the natural were impossible. What was it that was
transported or
projected, for the time being, from my person, but the spiritual entity,
the
real me, self, or ego in such a degree that it was able to bring back to me all
the consciousness that it possessed.
My thought of the Christ is exactly that thing. All
through the Word of God we see this. The visible manifestation of God as
He appeared to man at different times was in the form of Christ." [Yes, this true story is just another resurrection miracle.
Praise to
God.
What inspiration for the mentally ill.]
Exciting emphasis is now being put on the fact that BY
CHRIST'S STRIPES WE ARE HEALED. Isaiah says in the Bible's Old
Testament
(Isaiah, Chapter 53, New International Version) "by His wounds we arehealed".
Likewise, in the New testament of the Bible (I Peter, Chapter
2)
Peter
says, "by His wounds you have been healed."
(Jesus' apostle Peter is the rock on which
the Catholic Church is said to be founded.)
Based on the testimony of Isaiah
(a
Jew) and
the testimony of Peter:
CHRIST PROCURED OUR HEALING "BEFORE WE WERE BORN".
Appropriation
All we need to do is take our healing. This is called
the door of
appropriation. Think of this as money in the bank.
If God put money in the bank with our name on the account, then all we need to
do is write a check. The money will not jump into our wallet until we
acknowledge that the money (+ the interest) is there & act upon that fact.
Don Gosset in What You Say is What You Get states that "God
cannot lie; we know we can believe anything God says in His Word. If it is
in God's Word, we can know it's true. That is why Jesus said, 'If
you abide in Me, & My words abide in you, ask what you will, and it shall be done.' (John 15:7 TEV)
What a promise. It's like a blank check on the
bank of heaven." God gave us the
medicine to cureus 2000 years ago. All we need to do is to take the
medicine. The brand name of the medicine is Jesus Christ.
Henry Wright in A More Excellent Way, says
"I teach something called appropriation of what was done at the cross.
It's the only thing that makes any sense. It's called appropriation & was
granted when Christ died. He died for all the sins of the world.
Did He do that? Did He pay for all sins once & for all? Is everyone
saved? But it was finished. If it was finished, then why isn't
everyone saved? Because you have to appropriate it by faith. It's
the same way with healing. Just because it says by His stripes
we were healed & He bore the penalty of the curse, doe not mean that you get to
keep your sin & get your freedom.
www.pleasantvalleychurch.net
If we accept the fact that we are healed, then we need
to stop nagging God & start thanking Him.
There is a good Bible illustration that shows what
happens in the invisible before the visible appears.
"Daniel, you who are highly esteemed...since the first day that you set your
mind to gain understanding and to humble yourself before God, your words were
heard, and Ihave come in response to them. But the
prince of the Persian kingdom resisted me 21 days. Then (the angel)
Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, because I was detained there
with the king of Persia...Soon I will return to fight against the (demon) prince
of Persia, and when I go, the (demon) price of Greece will come...No one supports me
against them except Michael, your prince." (Daniel chapter 10 NIV Bible)
Pastor Don Bryant says that the issue
for Christians is "not that you believe in God,
but that you believe
God." (www.coastalchurch.com)Pastor Paul Cox says, "It is
dangerous to believe God."
because then you have to
take Him at His word. (www.aslansplace.org)
Likewise, Jesus procured our eternal life in heaven before we were
born, at the same moment He procured our healing. Oswald Chambers in
Grow Up Into Him, Talks on Christian Habits explains, "Jesus Christ's last
command to His disciples was not to go and save the world, the saving is done;
He told them to go & make disciples. Our work is to 'open men's eyes, to
turn them from darkness to light, from the power of Satan unto God, that they
may receive forgiveness of sin.' ie. that they may receive the Redemption which
is complete but which is incredible to a man until he does receive it."
Whether it is salvation or healing, either is available for free. Only
believe. Jesus said, "Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it,
and it will be yours. (Mark 11:24 Bible NIV) Famous Smith
Wigglesworth even goes so far as to insist that any Bible promise (such as
healing) is not even to be prayed about, but is to be received and acted upon.

Believe
Only trust. Take God at His
word. A gentleman's handshake. A promise to keep. Perhaps you have
been hurt by life or by your earthly dad, so it is difficult to trust our
heavenly dad. Do not depend on your feelings. eelings are human.
God our Father created us in the womb. He is our parent, too. Dare
to trust Him. Don't quit when you do not see the evidence right away.
Abraham waited years (not days) after God promised him a son. Both
physical & spiritual
muscle takes time to build. What infant would ever learn to walk if he quit
on the first fall? Be patient with yourself & with God. He loves
you. Each time we trust in our feelings or trust what we see with
our eyes, then we are defeated, until we claim the Words of God once again.
The Apostle Peter walked on water until he became afraid. Jesus Christ
cried out on the cross, "Why have You forsaken Me?" God saved His own
Son's victory until 3 days after the suffering & trial of Jesus Christ.
God allows many to go through a baptism of fire for our purification, testing & subsequent great use. There is a saying, 'No Pain, No Gain.' An
unrefined diamond is not beautiful. Suffering can be a gift from God for
those He knows have great value for mankind. There is no better
school than the school of hard knocks. Even for Christ, suffering produced
forgiveness for sins (past, present & future), plus the death of death for
those who believe in the resurrection of the body, & death of disease (yes even
now in the present). While we (who are ill) and we (who love those who are
ill) wait & suffer, we learn lessons we would never have had the opportunity to learn.

Scripture speaks of Jesus standing at the door of a church, a born-again
person's heart,
or actually at the door of man's soul (mind/will/emotions). If Jesus is
stuck in our spirit,
outside of our daily life, or left in the foyer, it is because we have not
invited Him inside,
not allowed Him to align Himself with us or us to align with Him. If we
are stuck without
our healing or help, perhaps we have neglected to align our spirit man with God,
our soul
with Holy Spirit, and our body with Jesus' body. Perhaps we have not taken
time out or created daily time to honeymoon the Trinity & to marinate our mind in His
scripture. revelation/3-20.htm -

"Have you ever battled with an issue & couldn’t figure
out why it wasn’t going away? It could be because there was an ancient gate in
your soul or your body that was shut, so the Dunamis power of Christ
could not get to that place to heal it. When I was learning about soul
healing I was traveling a lot. I kept having some major issues with
illness. I had to seek the Lord to help me get to the root problem, so He could
deal with it. One major hit happened when I traveled to the state where I was
born. As I was landing, the Lord said in my spirit that the enemy would be
waiting for me at the gate (birth neighborhood). I got totally sick. When I
finally got back home, I laid on the floor soaking for weeks. At 1 point
there was so much power that my skin turned red like I had a sun burn. My
husband’s skin did the same even though he was in the other room. Yet, I wasn’t
getting better. Something in me was blocking the flow of power. Then 1 day I was
in the car asking God what was wrong & He said, 'Lift up the ancient gate.'
Then I heard
Psalm 24:7-10 7 Lift up your heads, you gates. Lift them up, everlasting doors, so that the glorious
king can enter. 8 Who
is he, this glorious king? Adonai, strong
& mighty, Adonai,
mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, you gates.
Lift them up, everlasting doors, so that the glorious king can enter. 10 Who
is he, this glorious king? Adonai-Tzva’ot,
He is the glorious king. When I read that Psalm,
I saw that inside it was the command to lift up the ancient gates.
So I did. I was instantly healed.
The next time I heard God tell me this was in a meeting in Montana.
A man came up to me who had a severe liver dysfunction & bile was backing up
into his body. He was grey, bloated & greasy looking. While on stage I
started to command his ancient gates to open. I saw a vision of an ancient gate
opening from
the floor up. When I told him his eyes got as wide as saucers, then he
said he saw
the same thing. He was a new believer that had never seen a vision before, but
by
the next day he had lost 16 pounds. He contacted me & told me he lost 15 more
pounds over the next 2 weeks."

Nelson, Jerame 7/26/2021 @
Microsoft Word - Sid Roth 1110 NELSON.docx (netdna-ssl.com) - (edited
excerpt) - JERAME: I was in Seoul, Korea, ministering to around 2000 hungry
Koreans. God gave me a dream. In that dream, He told me that
hunger is a currency of heaven.
He said to me that
when people pray& push in, it creates a vacuum for heaven to
invade earth.
It opens up the heavens... The 1st
night of those meetings those Koreans...said, "We want to do something real
quick before you speak." Every person pointed their hand towards me & prayed for
10 minutes. All of a sudden, the heavens opened. 13 deaf ears in a row opened in
that meeting. A woman on a mat in the back of the meeting, had been paralyzed
since a child. All her bones begin to crack. She jumped up & ran to
the front. A crazy outbreak of miracles, because of that key of
hunger, which opened it up when they began to pray. I encourage
you. Allow your prayers to open the heavens. When you begin to intercede,
begin to push in. It causes heaven to open even more... We can increase
an open (gate/portal of) heaven by intercession, prayer & hunger

SID: Tell me about the portal, the gateways. Explain a quote from
your book. "You," speaking of us, "are now a heavenly being in an earth suit."
CANDICE: It's really important for people to understand that when we
become born again, we immediately enter into eternity. You don't have to
wait until you die to be in eternity. We are in eternity right now every moment
of time, so we need to learn to operate as eternal beings in the here & now.
When we began to activate that knowledge & understanding that we are eternal
beings, we'll begin to start to see the miracles of heaven manifest in the
earth. Everything that is founded on healing & miracles is all about faith, so
God will meet us where we're at. If we believe we're eternal beings, He will
treat us as such & then we'll begin to see the responses of being eternal.
Speak in the Name of
Jesus
Another
door to healing is
speaking the
Name of
Jesus. Acts 19:11-17 illustrates the power of
the name of Jesus: "God did extraordinary miracles through Paul, so
that even handkerchiefs & aprons that had touched him were taken to the sick,
and their illnesses were cured & the evil spirits left them. Some Jews who
went around driving out evil spirits tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus
over those who were demon-possessed. They would say, 'In the name of
Jesus, whom Paul preaches, I command you to come out.' 7 sons of
Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this. 1 day the evil spirit
answered them, "Jesus I know. I know about Paul, but who are you?" Then
the man who had the evil spirit jumped on & overpowered them all.
He gave them such a beating that they ran out of the house naked & bleeding.
When this became known to the Jews & Greeks living in Ephesus, they were all
seized with fear & the name of the Lord Jesus was held in high honor."
Peter Gammons wrote The
Powerful Name Of Jesus. His Orlando ministry is near
Disneyworld. www.pgmi.org
Scripture (John 16:23-24 NIV) instructs those who believe in Jesus
Christ: "I tell you the truth, My Father will give you whatever you ask in My
name. Until now you have not asked for anything in My name. Ask & you will
receive, &
your joy will be complete."
Joyce Meyer wrote Be Healed
In Jesus Name
+ Battlefield of the Mind: Winning
the Battle in Your Mind .
She touches on the subject of spirits, which is NOT necessarily the usual cause
of mental illness, but may contribute to the harassment of the mind
(oppression/torment) of a person who loves the Lord...
Joyce, on page 56, encourages us "to pray
in Jesus' name.
By the power of His blood, come against 'mind-binding spirits.'
Pray this way not just 1 time but any time you experience difficulty"...
On page 96, Joyce shows the importance of persistent Scripture quoting: "There
was a man who was sick & who was confessing the Word over his body, quoting
healing Scriptures & believing for his healing to manifest. While
doing so, he was intermittently attacked with thoughts of doubt. After he
had gone through a hard time & was beginning to get discouraged, God opened his
eyes to the spirit world. This is what he saw: a demon speaking lies to
him, telling him that he was not going to get healed & that confessing the
Word was not going to work. But he also saw that each time he
confessed the Word, light would come out of his mouth like a sword.
The
demon would cower & fall backward. As God showed him this vision, the man
then understood why it was so important to keep speaking the Word. He saw
that he did have faith, which is why the demon was attacking him with doubt.
Doubt is not something God puts in us. The Bible says that God gives every
man a...measure of faith (Romans 12:3KJV). God has placed faith in our
heart, but the devil tries to negate our faith by attacking us with doubt.
Doubt comes in the form of thoughts that are in opposition to the Word of God.
This is why it is so important for us to know the Word of God. If we know
the Word, then we can recognize when the devil is lying to us. Be
assured that he lies to us in order to steal what Jesus purchased for us through
His death & resurrection."

Meyer Ministries) www.joycemeyers.org
God often gives us spiritual understanding for "invisible"
warfare. In the Bible (2 Kings 6: 16-17) God opened the spiritual
eyes of a servant: "'Don't be afraid,' Elisha told him, 'for our army is
bigger than theirs.' Then Elisha prayed, 'Lord, open his eyes & let him
see.' The Lord opened the young man's eyes so that he could see horses of
fire &
chariots of fire everywhere upon the mountain.'"
Another area that Joyce stresses is the area of human
nature where it is easier & more comfortable to take care of "me".
Nobody is going to tell me what to do, attitude. Often when the Holy
Spirit is mentoring us, He will nudge us to obey our superiors or signs.
When our boss or our mate orders us to do something, do we pout, grimace, scowl,
talk back or do we smile without an inward grumble? Do we park in
handicapped spaces, throw or drop trash on the ground and not in the garbage
barrel, drop cigarette buts anywhere except in ash tray containers, keep
lights on in hotel rooms, etc? The voice of the Holy Spirit is usually silent,
but those who have asked Jesus to come into their heart can recognize His voice.
Usually we do not want to listen. We are too busy. We are too
important. It is too inconvenient. When we are not too busy & not
too important for God, then He will be able to fine tune the violin or piano
that we are so that we can begin to make music for Him that sounds like an
instrument rather than a pan and pot in the kitchen.

underlining cause being demonic activity. Dr Paul L Cox expounds on how

demons out of her. Not only was her insanity gone, but a 15 year old
abscess & rheumatism as well. God is not on vacation, it is us who are
on vacation. Let us take back what the enemy has stolen, now that we
realize "who" the cause of
many of our diseases is, whereas before we did not
know "what" the cause was.
Fast
Another door to full recovery is the door of
fasting and prayer according to Jesus
(Bible: TLB version, book of Matthew, chapter 17, verse 14-22). "A man came,
knelt before Jesus & said,
'Sir, have mercy on
my son, for he is mentally ill, & in great trouble, for he often falls into
the fire or into the water;
so I brought him to your disciples, but they could
not cure him.' Jesus replied, 'Oh,
you stubborn, faithless people.
How long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to Me.'
Then Jesus rebuked the demon in the boy & it left him. From that moment the boy was
well. Afterwards the disciples asked Jesus privately, 'Why could we not cast
that demon out?' 'Because of your little faith,' Jesus told them.
'For if you had faith even as small as a tiny mustard seed you could say
to this mountain, "Move," & it would go far away. Nothing would
be impossible. But this kind of demon will not leave unless you have
prayed & gone without
food (fasting).'"
One might appreciate Mahesh Chavda's book The Hidden
Power of Prayer & Fasting.

In 2002 John W. Carver, Jr and
Timothy Enloe obtained
permission from Dr. Price's family
to republish 2 books of Dr. Charles S. Price
called The Meaning of Faith & The Sick are Healed (Resolving the Mysteries of
Faith).
Chapter 12Faith is the Victory expounds on the merits of the stripes of Christ:
"Why did they whip Him at the cruel post of scourging? Why did they bare
His back & allow that Roman lash to descend upon Him? What stripes was it
that Isaiah beheld through the lens of his telescope, that make him declare
under the power of the Spirit that WITH THOSE STRIPES WE ARE HEALED? Would
a loving Father, beholding the culmination of the purpose for which He sent His
Son into the world, permit Him to under-go agony & pay such as that if it were
not for some purpose? The answer is obvious to every man & woman who will
read the Scriptures with an open & unbiased mind.
By what authority did the disciples heal
subsequent to the ascension of Jesus?
Have you ever noticed the type of faith that they possessed when they came in
contact with devils & with sickness? When they saw the man who was
at the beautiful gate of the temple, they did NOT start to cry in sorrow & then
lead him off to some place to intercede for God to have mercy upon him & bring healing to his body.
To me they acted
as if they knew the mind of the Lord
in the matter. To me they acted like men who had come from direct
contact with God in the power house of the upper room & they were sure that
God Himself had power over sickness.
It was NOT intercession. It was faith.
They did NOT claim that it was done by their power. They certainly acted like
men who believed that Jesus had already done it.Using the name that is
above every name they simply told (bolding is my emphasis) him to get up & walk. That is just
what the man did.
In plain words the thing that impresses me when I read the account (& the same
truth is impressed upon me when I read every account of divine healing
subsequent to
the ascension of Jesus) is that they acted as if they believed
&
knew that healing was in the atonement
(bolding is my emphasis). There is healing for you because Jesus purchased it.
Remember the promise: yours-yours. Jesus purchased it. Remember
the promise is yours, your promise, yours-yours. Commence to rejoice in it,
praise God for it, hold that Bible to your heart & sing & sing again: 'Jesus never fails.'"
Dr. Price' s Chapter 16, What Is Divine Healing?, section
Healing is Your Inheritance, reminds Christians & Messianic
Jews:
"The 1st thing that I want to emphasize is the fact that as children of the
Lord,
you have a right to claim divine healing as your
inheritance.
If a rich man died and left you some property, both in money & real estate, you
would not hesitate to come forth & claim what belongs
to you. You would get in touch with the administrator. You would be
careful not to lose contact with the executor. Your would not go forth
with the spirit of 1 who is petitioning & begging for the portion of odds that
that been left to you, but you would march forward boldly in faith to claim what
was your portion. The question of whether you deserved it or not would not
enter into the matter at all. As a matter of fact an inherited property is
very seldom deserved. When it comes to the question of divine healing,
however, if we with unprejudiced minds would read the Word of God, we cannot
arrive at any other conclusion but that the Lord left divine healing to His
church in His last will & testament. He earned it, He purchased & paid for
it & told His church they could have it. He sent the Holy Spirit to become
the administrator.
It is our privilege to carefully read the will & be persuaded in our own minds
that it is our inheritance, & then get in contact with the Divine administrator
of the testament & ask aid in the reception & 'appropriation' of our
inheritance. This fact must be clearly understood & this truth must be comprehended before we can become the possessors of the
things our Lord has purchased.
It is the lack of recognition of this truth that lies behind the fact that so
many Christians are sick & weak these days. If we doubt the fact that
divine healing is our inheritance, then faith loses its power of appropriation &
we stand helpless in the clutches of sickness &
disease.
If what I say is true then it must necessarily follow that
healing is for all of God's children. That is what I most
emphatically declare. It is a tremendous hindrance to the faith of the
Christian, when uncertainty crowds to the forefront of the mind. We begin
to
doubt whether or not it is God's will to heal at all. We are persuaded that it is the will of the Lord to heal
some. We praise the Lord when we hear the testimony of the deliverance
of others but it is difficult for us to believe that it is the will of the Lord
to heal us. When it becomes a personal matter, doubt commences to rise
& the conflict is on between faith & reason.
Every sufferer, who turns to the Lord for deliverance, must
1st become convinced
that it is God's will to heal him. Unless you arrive at that
conclusion, it is impossible for you to exercise faith. Not a sinner could
ever be saved who knelt at the altar & doubted the will of
the Lord regarding the salvation of his soul. He writes the pardon on my
heart the moment I believe. Faith begins to grow in the garden of the
heart when we know we are in the will of the Lord."
An awesome concept is that God has given us the power of
attorney for Jesus Christ.
As lay people, we have the legal
right with the full authority to speak or to act on behalf
of the
Name of Jesus Christ & heal the sick. This is explained in The
Wonderful Name
of Jesus by E W Kenyon, who states, "for the healing
of a sick one...we take Jesus' place & use Jesus' Name just
as though Jesus Himself were here. The only difference is that, instead of
Jesus doing it, we are doing it for Him; we are doing it at His command.
He has given to us the same authority He had when He was here, & the
believer's position in Christ gives him the same standing with the Father that
Christ had when He was here." (see: www.kenyons.org)
Don Gossett (& Kenyon) mention the power of attorney application of God's
words to our situation in The Power of Your Words - www.dongossett.com

As a child of God one has the privileges &
responsibilities of a son. As a brother or sister of Jesus, one shares in
the family inheritance & the present spiritual powers. These powers are not
personally owned nor are they even human powers but God's power, including the
power to heal & be healed. Jesus is here, & though we cannot see Him, He
is working through the power of His Name & Holy Spirit, because Jesus is not
dead. He rose from the dead to give us heavenly power, but most of all to
give us a relationship with Himself, for He desires us as a groom desires a
bride. Satan says, "Bull." Jesus says He loves us. It is safe
to ask Jesus to be our lover. It is safe to ask Jesus to heal our wounds.
"...With his stripes we are healed (Bible: NKJ
Version, Isaiah 53:5)." It is safe to trust Him. It is good
to be nothing. Then Jesus can be our everything. Then He can begin
to grow us up into a treasure that gives Him much pleasure. It is not what
we do or say. It is what He does in & through us. INVITATION: If you have not invited Him to be your mate, your lover, your
God, your friend,
your healer, your comforter, then dare to speak
out loud
these few words: Jesus, it says in the Bible that if we ask according to
Your will, then You will
grant that request. Now
I ask for You to be my Savior and my comforter & my lover.
Please forgive all the things that I
have done that wound Your heart and that
separate me from You.
I ask for eternal life with You that begins now & continues
on forever in heaven, because You rose from the dead & ascended into heaven.
I accept the fact that You died on the cross to take the punishment for my sins.
I accept on
faith that what You state in the Bible is true.
I accept that my forgiveness and Your acceptance of me is not based on what I
feel,
think or do but on what You do through your Holy Spirit. You have just now
answered my prayer. Because You are NOR a liar,
I thank You & praise You, regardless of how I feel. Praise You, bless You,
wonderful You, awesome You, Holy You. Honor & Glory & Praise to You, Jesus Christ.
I now have You Lord with
Whom I can have a daily special relationship. Thank You.
Now that I am forgiven & safe in Your arms,
I ask for Your Holy Spirit's baptism so that I might be a blessing to You &
those in my life &
empowered to be the best for which You created me.
I receive this
baptism in faith, not
by feelings or intellect, according to Scripture. Praise You, bless You,
wonderful You, Holy You, awesome You. Honor & Glory & Praise to You,
Jesus Christ.
Gratitude
A frequent door missed by many is the attitude of
gratitude, so much so that we tithe at least 10% of our time,
money
and talent to the Lord for the benefit of others. Malachi 4:8-11
admonishes us:
"You are cursed with a curse, for you have robbed Me; even this whole nation.
Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in My house.
Prove Me now, says the Lord of hosts & see if I will open the window of
heaven & pour out a blessing that, that there shall not be room enough to
receive it. I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes & he shall not
destroy."
Praise
Praise is another door
to healing. An amazing true story about praise
causing deliverance & healing is published by the Foundation of Praise.
Contact www.merlincarothers.com
for this free brochure of Marilyn Foglio's biography A Most Amazing
Story of a mentally ill patient locked up in a hospital, until her
father began to praise God. Scripture tells us that God inhabits the
praise of His people. Praise is a shortcut to healing
Be reminded. Healing is NOT obtained by a charitable
contribution, bribe, purchase or cunning.
Neither is it obtained by
education, a seminary degree, works or a magic formula.
Ana Mendez-Ferrell reminds
us that it is only found in our "position in Christ".
www.anamendez.org
In other words,
God looks at our heart attitude.
We can be sincere, but sincerely wrong,
so we need to know God's heart.
Usually that is by reading, listening to, speaking aloud, meditating on, & standing on God's word in scripture.
In
order to receive, we need 1st to BELIEVE.
If we cannot believe, then
someone needs to stand in the gap for us.
Do not faint, until you have
received the prize.
But may the real prize be Jesus, our mate, not just
our date.
Let us not look just for the presents but the giver of the
presents, Santa Clause.
Not just the mender of our bodies, minds &
hearts, but the doctor Himself, Jesus.
http://www.voiceofthelight.com/vision.html Ana's book Seated in Heavenly Places shares that
there are many doors to/from heaven, some predetermined & some opened by
prayer. In addition, there are roads for God's angels to travel between
earth & heaven.
Chapter 10 continues to say that the Blood of Jesus
Christ made available "frequent flyer" access to heavenly realms
for Christians
desperate enough to pursue intimacy with God. 2nd Corinthians 5:6 I (Paul) say, "We are confident and willing to
be absent from the body & to be present with the
Lord." 1 of Ana's bi-lingual DVDs Fundamentals of Toma Territory
#D4003-1 shares that there are high centers of cities
& doors facing
west that are demonic doors/gates through which evil enters at sunset when
darkness begins. Likewise there are certain places/open
doors on earth
where/when angelic activity is highest at sunrise. Since the kingdom of
God is in us, we can be anywhere to do God's work to close demonic doors
&
to open
heavenly doors. (Alzheimer's and other seniors may experience sunset

[Many expect the returning Christ to set His foot on the Temple Mount (guarded

gate of the temple.]
An aside: (Ana & Emerson Ferrel's book & English/Spanish DVD
Regions of Captivity
mention that sometimes opening a door to evil is blamed as a cause of
evil or relapse. However, sometimes problems arise when the spiritual
prison door has NOT been locked after one has left captivity.
Sometimes problems arise because an invisible root issue has NOT been taken care
of. An overview of one major cause & cure of problems, especially
psychiatric problems is found at

Redding, California, USA - Chapter 8Enduring Uncertainty
reminds us that "many people have NO gate (door) because they won't PRAISE
Him...That gate - that place of praise in the midst of conflict is where
His presence rests...The gate is formedwhen we move above human
explanation & into a place of trust" (in God).
Doug Jones in Understanding the Healing Power of God
compares healing to electricity.
In generations past electricity existed, but was only tapped into when people
learned about & then applied what they
learned to their benefit. So it is with healing.

would stay within you. The 'flies' of it would buzz about, bringing
destruction & disease...

Do not seek to slay the flies individually, by your own efforts. Instead,

Jewish Feasts & Locations
Herzog, David - The
Ancient Portals of Heaven - Glory, Favor and Blessings -
www.thegloryzone.org
Herzog has found from literature (especially in the Old and New Testament) +
from personal experience that God visits us more readily & in greater
manifestation on holy places plus holy feasts installed/initiated by Himself to
be observed perpetually/forever. Such days would be Jewish feasts &
Sabbaths (between Friday midnight & Saturday midnight). Places would be
those sacred to the rabbis, especially Jerusalem & Israel.
"Experience being in both
a geographical portal (Israel) & a seasonal portal (such as the Feast of
Tabernacles) all at the same time, while standing in these open heavens"
if/while vacationing in Israel, perhaps at a Messianic conference (during any of
the Jewish feast days).
Many consider one's observation of the Jewish feast days
as being portals/doors/gates/windows to heaven.

Chapter 4Ancient Geographical Portals -
Herzog believes that the Garden of Eden may have been or contained the front
door to heaven, where one could freely go through the veil (to heaven).
Chapter 5Seasonal Portals - Herzog clarifies for us the role of
ruler Constantine, who after converting to Christianity, threw out the baby with
the bathwater, that is, the Jews for killing Christ, according to his
misunderstanding. Constantine at his Council of Nicaea in AD 325 separated
the Jews and Christians, + eliminated
the Jewish feasts and holy days in the Catholic/Christian liturgy, contradicting
what God ordered to be implemented in perpetuity and thus closed many
heavenly doors between heaven and earth! However, Theodosius (another
anti-Semite) put teeth into Constantine's edicts by decreeing death to those
celebrating Jewish feast days.

Creation Lab from Divine Encounter II Disc 1 - (transcript) "The 1st time He took me there, I was so totally blown away, there wasn’t
even a door to get into the place. Cause you’re going to have to use your
faith, not because of battles & trials, but because He’s training you.
Because you see, when He speaks, He knows it’s going to happen. He will train
you even to get into this place. You have to believe that you can enter in.
That’s what He told me when I first saw this beautiful building. It’s an
emerald green building, it’s fantastic! There’s this light that emanates
from it. It’s a green color you’ve never seen in your life. Green represents
life. I wanted to get in. I’m standing there, going. ‘I can’t get in Lord.’
He
goes, ‘You have to believe that you can get in.’
So I go up to this wall with no entrance. If He tells me to do something,
I’m going to go do it. So I stand outside this place. I’m going, ‘I believe
I can enter in’, & nothing happens. I said, ‘Well, Lord, I tried to enter in.’ He said, ‘No
you didn’t, You were
just saying something.
You have to say it from here.’ So, I
stood there & went, ‘I believe I can get into this place’ & a doorway
appeared. I was shocked. I was standing there. I walked right up thinking it was
going to open. I run into it & went, ‘Well there’s the door, but it didn’t
open.’ You’ve got to BELIEVE that you can enter in, not just get in. So I’m
ready now. I walk up & go, ‘I BELIEVE I can enter in.’ It opens all by itself.
So I run in there. I don't have any idea what I’m going to do next. I’m
trying to look at everything all at the same time.

Your property is also designed just for you. You go outside an
you'll see a door suspended. Just a door. It's going to show you how there's no
space in Heaven. No limit to space. You've got beautiful things all around
there, things you always wanted to do but couldn't afford it. God gives it to
you in Heaven to bless you. I was taken 1 time & saw a huge family
having a picnic. They were playing all over this beautiful lawn, and there was a
door suspended, just like right here, just hanging in the air. God said, 'Walk
around it.' I walked around it, there's the back of the door. I walked
around it, there's the front of the door. Then He goes, 'Now
open it'. When I opened that door & stepped in, I was in an entirely
different place taking up the same space as that person's property & their
mansion.
He said, 'This belongs to them too'. I
couldn't see the end of this place. I was somewhere on the Crystal Sea. It was
absolutely beautiful. All I did was walk through that door. Because you
know what? There's no space limit in Heaven. This takes up 1 place in 1 space.
Right? If you tried to put a car here, would something happen? Yes. But in
Heaven, you can have more than 1 thing taking up the same space in Heaven. There
are realms within realms in Heaven, because God is a supernatural God.

suspended everywhere.
There’s NO space in Heaven. NO time or space...That means...it can be unlimited

The way the Father explained that to me was to show me the doors on
someone’s property. I saw this huge family, all having a big picnic on
their property.Dinosaurswere
roaming around them. They were
eating...None of the animals in Heaven are wild...
There was a door, right
there, where they were having their picnic. I thought, ‘Well, that’s pretty
strange’… I walked around. There’s the back of the door. There’s the front of the
door. The Holy Spirit said, ‘Now
go in the door.’
I opened that door. When I went in,
I was in a whole different place
(dimension) taking up the same space as that whole
family having their
picnic...You will never stop being surprised by your Father. You think you have
this beautiful piece of property; you’ve got more than what you see even when
you get there. Because there’s realms within realms in Heaven...That
beautiful place;
it belonged all to that guy who’s mansion I was at. There was

Then God gives you places to go have concerts. You don’t even have to go

http://sidroth.org/television/tv-archives/david-martin DAVID:
Sid, it was 1 of the 2 most significant
visions in my life. Literally,
I saw a
picture of a man going through the thin barrier,
almost like paper.
But as the man went through the barrier, I knew it wasn't me, but it represents
all believers.
God said to me, "You're on the threshold of a spiritual
breakthrough coming into
a move of My spirit
unlike anything the world has ever seen. More: signs, wonders, miracles
than you can even
imagine... But I can't use you yet." SID: "2 weeks later, God spoke to you
again." DAVID: He did. I was sharing the
vision about spiritual breakthrough...As soon as I said to the
congregation, I said, "The spiritual barrier is about to
be broken,"
God said, "That's not what I said...The barrier is not spiritual...You're on the
threshold of a spiritual
breakthrough, but a spiritual barrier is already broken. The veil is rent
(by Yeshua). You've got free access to My throne...The...breakthrough, barrier is
intellectual...
The problem is you're thinking too much like people, not
enough like Me." DAVID: 2 weeks after God gave
me the vision about the spiritual breakthrough...
He said to me, "You're thinking too much like people"...
Then in 1998, literally God gave me...keys to the operating in the supernatural.
Then I really discovered how it works. A few months later, I was in Rwanda doing
a pastors conference with 250 pastors, all of which were involved from a
negative side. They had loved ones that were massacred in the genocide in Rwanda
in 1994. God said, "Go
there for a week. Minister to them... Do not cover the gifts of the spirit, the operation of the Holy Spirit"...
All these guys were not spirit-filled. But the very last meeting God said to
me...after a whole week of speaking about love & the things of God, right in the middle of a sentence,
God said, "Stop." It had to the longest
moment of my life. It probably wasn't more than a minute. But when you have 500
eyeballs looking at you & interpreter comes up & says,
"What's the problem here?" That minute is a long time, but right in the middle
of that moment
the Holy Spirit fell onto these 250 pastors. They all got baptized with the Holy
Ghost. They started speaking in tongues. DAVID: Key #1 is
sensitivity...to the voice of God.
#2 would be obedience to do whatever He says. #3. the key...of humility...The Bible says, "He
resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble."
Grace as I see it is God's ability to do for us what we can't do for ourselves. DAVID: In 1982, serving in the church,
on the platform...literally, the ceiling disappeared. The roof.
There was an open vision. I didn't know it was a vision at 1st. I thought a
tornado came.
But I'm looking up at the blue sky. But there in the blue sky...I received the
sovereign vision,
a sphere of light with beams of light touching just a handful of people in the
congregation.
I said, "God, what are you showing me?" He said, "I'm
ministering to those that are ministering to Me,
those that are worshiping Me in spirit & truth, & literally those
that are walking in humility. These people...recognize their need for Me. They're
not living in self-sufficiency.
They're walking in obedience of My word. They're humbling
themselves & they know they need Me."
In a 2nd vision, I saw a battery with 2 posts, a positive & a
negative.
When you touch a positive wire to a negative wire there's an unseen force.
This is the key thing that He was showing me. The beam is an unseen force.
We
can't see it,
but we're connected to God by this unseen field of energy of sorts. The
2nd
vision was, again,
unseen energy of electricity. When you connect a positive
to
a negative
there's sparks.
There's heat. There's a transfer of power. God said to me,
"I am representative of the positive side & those that
walk in humility are the negative."
He showed me another picture...with positive and negative, of magnets, again,
unseen field of energy,
magnetism. Again, put 2 positives together, in this case they repel.
2
negatives, they repel,
but 2 opposites (positive + negative) they're attracted
and they're held
together by the unseen force.
God said to me, "That's how my spirit works. When you walk
in negative...behavior or...mindset (you repel Me),
but (when)...you live a life that (shows) you need Me,
you're worshiping
(attracting) Me (like a magnet),
for every breath that you have,
you're the negative (charge, whereas I am the
positive current)." DAVID: This
was one of the key things He showed me, is that we need to have that respect and
recognition. His word is absolute truth & we need to live according to it.
So if He says, meditate on the Word day & night, that's not a suggestion, that
is a commandment. DAVID: God said to me, Sid,
we're coming into a short season of blessing and prosperity.
But those that are
going to enjoy it the most are what you would call normal, red hot for God.
Those people that are pressing in,
they're living the life God wants them to live, they're going to hear God in a
more clear way. DAVID: He...said to me, "This connection is there for
everybody. But those people that are dying to themselves,
living for me, walking in holiness, I'm increasing their bandwidth."
It's like when the computers came out 25 years ago, you know, we can do data
message and do texts. But now we have high bandwidth. We’ve actually got
streaming video. It's like right now God is opening the windows to Heaven.
For those people that are pressing in, there's an increased bandwidth & they're literally receiving and going to
receive so much more high
definition video from Heaven like Branham did. Branham who did, I heard it said
in his life time,
in his miracle ministry like in the late '40s and '50s, more miracles in his
ministry than all the other
great healing revivals together. SID:
Whatever God is
doing...has nothing to do with us. It has to do with the fact:
(1) we chose to make God, our God, (2) to believe in
Jesus,
(3) to repent of our sins, (4) believe his blood washed away our sins,
(5) believe that God remembers our sins no more &
(6) believe that Jesus lives inside of me, inside of you...
Pray that prayer (or rededicate yourself) right now and mean it.
Have it count for eternity & start doing the destiny that God has called you
to.

"The Lord also told us, “In order to unlock the door
for the present, you must close the door to the past.”
This is a now word for those who are attempting to step into every-thing the Lord
has for them.
He showed us that looking back into the past is like looking at a mountain
covered in ice. It looks cold and barren from the distance.
However, if you look at that same mountain in the present, you can see the
beauty of it.
You can see the colors & the grandeur.
You can find the amethyst, emeralds & rubies that are hidden in its secret
places.
You can see none of this from the distance of the past.
It is time to close those doors to the past and press forward into what the Lord
has for us today.
We must quit focusing on failures, hurts, pains, & the assorted problems of
the past.
We must even limit our nostalgic thinking that somehow things were better in the
past.
It is time to see what the Lord is doing now."

10/17/2016 - Rick Joyner declared a
gate of hell has been opened in America. The source? Abortion. The
slaughter of innocent children compelled the head of MorningStar Ministries to
use the upcoming election as a way to banish that hell from America...
We're told about 'gates of hell' in Scripture, which
are access points where hell enters a nation or culture.
Abortion is the biggest gate of hell through which death, the culture of
death & violence enter a land. It was this gate of hell
through which the culture of death entered Germany in the 1930's, when
mandatory abortions were used on the 'undesirables.' After killing the
unborn became acceptable they then began to systematically kill the
elderly, who they called 'useless eaters.' Then it spread to
killing everyone they didn't like, or felt threatened by. This culture
of death is now creeping into our land. It will put all lives in jeopardy if
we do not close this gate. Roe v Wade was not just about abortion.
It was also about seeing if we would allow the courts to legislate in
violation of the Constitution. This is what Thomas Jefferson called
'judicial tyranny' where a small number of judges would begin to rule over the
will of the people. He contended that we could not remain a Republic for
long if this happened. The Constitution is clear that what authority is
not specifically given to the federal government in the
Constitution remains with the states & people. Nowhere does the Constitution
give authority to the federal government mandate social issues such as abortion,
same-sex marriage. Every time it has ruled on such issues it has done so in
violation of the Constitution. It should not be a surprise that they have
always been in exact conflict with the will of God as revealed in His word."

give myself to darkness. I tell you it blesses God when you don’t choose it.
Body (of Christ) worldwide: Scrape the darkness off & block the world out of
you. It doesn’t belong in you. Darkness does not mix with the light! It
clouds your light. Let it (your light) blast a hole in the darkness in this
world until the glory of God is seen upon your very face. That’s how we need to
live our life. If you really believe He is sitting on the throne in Heaven,
and they are watching everything you did, you would live your life
differently…Wake up…Know who you are (your heritage, your potential & your
inheritance in Christ Jesus). You don’t (your reborn spirit man doesn’t) belong
to this world. Stop giving yourself to darkness. It (God’s admonition in
scripture) says to flee the very appearance of evil. It doesn’t say run into the
theaters & watch it. It says don’t even discuss the wicked things done in
darkness… We are an example of God the Father, Jesus Christ & Holy Spirit… You
don’t even own your body anymore, when you get born again.
It is the temple of the Holy Spirit. That means He lives there. (From inside of
you) He doesn’t want to watch garbage…witchcraft…vampires. None of
that stuff comes from Heaven. It comes from Hell. When you buy a movie
ticket to go watch the devil’s stuff, you are giving him ammunition to
come & get you. You are helping to pay for the human trafficking…drug
lords…all that stuff you say you hate & despise. You hate abortion. You’re
helping to pay money to the enemy, so he can give it to those who do those
things. So if you hate it, stop helping to supply it…to finance it…The devil
doesn’t love you. He loves to see you squirm…suffer. He hates you. He’s actually
terrified of you…Wake up. Get cleaned up…You can’t put new wine in an old wine
skin. Especially when
it’s got holes. Maybe some mold on it…Your Daddy in Heaven loves you. He wants
you free. He wants you to help set people free. He doesn’t want you to run down
here (and there)
all of the time, because you need a miracle. He wants you to become the miracle.
He doesn’t want you to live in lack. He wants to make you a treasure chest…You
don’t work to get into Heaven. That blood (of Jesus), that salvation is free,
but if you think you’re going to move & shake this earth for Him (God), you’ve got to be
pure (empty of sin
and full of God).” (Forum note:

“I have more fun than some of the wicked do in this world. I don’t have any after effects
(withdrawals) from it. I can get drunk in the Holy Ghost. I don’t have a
hangover. I don’t think we should be drunk & then tell people in the bars that
we know Jesus. I know sinners. Guess what they’ll tell you? Christians shouldn’t
get drunk. They won’t listen to you. You’re no different from them. Do you
agree? We need to start living by what the Word says, because Heaven does not
live by the world’s guidelines. God has His own guidelines & they’re in His
Word. You shouldn’t have to read it all of the time
to find out what they are. It’s real simple. This is what the Father said:
If we
wouldn’t show it in Heaven. If We wouldn’t have it in Heaven, you shouldn’t have
it in your life.
How about
that for some guidelines? If He says start by cleaning your closet. You’d better
go clean your closet. It’s not just the big things that we don’t do or obey, the
little things matter right now. He said you need to start listening & obeying,
because it might cost you your life one day. When He began to train me, He said:
I want you to hear Me if I whisper. I don’t want to have to yell at you. I hear
Him if He whispers. If there’s anything in me that doesn’t belong there. I want
it out.
Stand up. We’re going to get clean right now before we finish. Because when
you sin or say the wrong things, you literally give him permission to come into
you atmosphere & set up camp. I see in to the (invisible evil) spirit
realm too; I just don’t go to Heaven. I go into some people’s homes; they’ve got
cesspools in there. When you shred people with your mouth, you
backbite…gossip. Out of this mouth comes a cesspool in the spirit realm.
When you say the God thing. You encourage, you love. When you pray, living
water. I have been in some people’s home… I saw their guardian angels surfing
from the river that came from their mouths.'”

Gods said: 'I'm giving you a platform, when
you start sharing about Heaven. You're going to show them what happens when they
do things in your life. I need to let them know

In this day and age, He's going to share with you
how the enemy gets into your life, and you don't even realize it. Whatever you
enter into (enters into you); that means when you (do), go, watch or
listen to things, you open doors, either to Heaven or Hell.
They're around you all of the time. Whatever you enter into, you choose. A
lot of people think because the world says it's ok to do things, they think it's
ok (for your) to do them.
False. They don't do some of those things
in Heaven. (Remember the Lord's prayer:)
God, Your will be done on earth as
it is in Heaven. ...In other words, what you allow in Heaven, you want
allowed on earth...There is no: witchcraft, vampire, sin, pornography in
Heaven. Yet the world says, if you're a certain age, you can go watch
(or do) all you want to. But, the Word says, you will not even talk about the
evil dark things in darkness ...because you open yourself up to the enemy.
I'm not talking about being possessed by him. I'm talking about him interfering
in your life (work, family, mind, health & relationships)." (Prior editorial

http://forgive123.com/category/articles/ DENNIS: I said, I'm just a young Christian, maybe 6-8
months old in the Lord.
I knelt down by the side of a couch and I said, "God, what is wrong with me?
If I'm called to preach I can't do that. What just happened to me, I don't
understand."
I closed my eyes. The 1st thing I saw in my mind's eye: I was a 9
year-old bed-wetter.
I pictured myself with clenched fists, hating myself. I was enough of
a Christian to know: gee, you don't hate people; you certainly aren't
allowed to hate yourself.
I saw that I received down in my belly, down in the gut, forgiveness for
self-hatred. Instantly there was in my belly/gut and simultaneously
(saw/knew) what was going on
in my mind's eye. I felt a lifting; it was in my mind's eye a slimy stocking
mask. I don't know how else to explain it: like a burglar would wear in a
stick-up, a slimy stocking mask; its name was "Shame". While I was
watching, it lift off me in my mind's eye.
(After) I felt the lightness of it's (absence). The shame literally
had (been/become)
the open door of self-hatred in my life. I didn't know it was there.
That was something that I had as a kid. DENNIS:
The 1st step to self-deliverance is starting from the
spirit. Everyone knows,
even forgiveness. I watch people struggle with forgiveness and they say,
Matthew 18,
but Matthew 18 says, (forgive) "from the heart". I watch people give
forgiveness (via) pray-after-me prayers. But if they want to get
deliverance, they've got to start in the belly. When they realize that
Jesus is the forgiver, He's the deliverer...the healer (Who)wants to rise
up. So the 1st step is knowing that you start from the inside.
When you close the door on the inside, then anything that's influencing from
the outside has no (legal) ground.

Chapter 4How Do Demons Access Believers?
"Gateways to our life are often controlled by other people & other
circumstances prior to birth & in our early childhood." "Could evil spirits gain access to a believer's life through surgery?
...When a person is under anesthesia, there is a brief window, a transfer
state where they are neither conscious nor unconscious...similar to a hypnotic
state as they go from consciousness to unconsciousness & the
same thing happens when they come back out. Maybe that's when it
happens."
"Children...have received demons from cartoons...They fantasize. This
can invite demons."
Chapter 17What Exactly Is Scriptural Deliverance? - "Some of the
demons in the internal kingdom (of our flesh or mind) are assigned the duty
of gatekeeper. It is their function to bring other
demons... In...deliverance, I will address these spirits and command that when
they leave, every gate is closed & locked."

"She was studying to become a
nurse but could no longer endure the painful, demonic attacks against her mind
&
body.
'Dr. Holliday, I have to return to Nigeria,' Esther said. 'The American
church leaders cannot help me. American pastors are spiritually blind
concerning demonology & their power to torture a human being. They don’t
believe casting demons out nor did they believe that Christians could have
power to do spiritual warfare against them. Also,' Esther continued,
'they do not want to pray for people that are under demonic attack.' She said
that in her country, pastors and their prayer warriors would spend all day and
night praying with you if under demonic attack. 'America Christians do not
want to talk to you even for a few minutes. I am being harassed by demons day
&
night'...
After you bind all the (relevant personal strongmen) demons, then, you will
lose the will
of God over each of these situations by commanding the devils’ powers to
be bound & go to the feet of Jesus. The devils leave under pressure by you
using the name of Jesus. They must obey when a stronger power arrives that
will supersede & overcome all their
power. You will reverse the powers of the Devil which will nullify his
power. He must flee.
Jesus said that this is giving
the believer the keys to the kingdom...
You must believe that Satan & his demons are real before you can be
effective in attacking their evil work. You have 2 spirits that are working
(competing) for your soul, the Spirit of God &
the spirit of the Devil. The Bible says, in
1st JOHN 4:1, Beloved, believe not every SPIRIT, but test the SPIRITS to
determine whether or not they are of GOD,
because many false prophets have gone out into the world...
Once we become aware of their (demonic) identity & learn their tricks,
their power to harm us is gone. 'Surely in vain
is the net spread in the sight of any bird,
(Prov. 1:17). 2 'Briefly stated the test is
this: This new doctrine, how has
this new religious habit, this new view of truth, this new spiritual
experience affected my attitude toward & my
relation to God, Christ, the Holy Scriptures, self, other Christians,
the world & sin? A. W. Tozer goes on to
say, 'By this 7-fold test we may prove everything religious & know beyond a
doubt whether it is of God or not. By the fruit of the tree we know the kind of tree it is. So we
have but to ask about any doctrine or experience,
what is this doing to me? Then we know immediately whether it is from above
or from below'...
When a person is ensnared by a false prophet (doctrine/indoctrination), a
satanic influence captures that ndividual’s mind. The inspired demons will
bind the person & put a
'gate keeper' spirit in the mind that
will direct the knowledge that is received. Of course, all information
concerning the truth will be twisted.
Deliverance is needed to extricate the person from spiritual bondage. It
truly is important where you receive spiritual knowledge. It must be based on
Jesus Christ as the foundation &
the Word of God as truth."

the devil to lead people into (emotional, physical & spiritual)

is reemerging from the 9 embraces'...The Lord had me write the
(progressive) list:"
"(1st) Embrace of an offense...[The (evil) spirit comes on the heels of...an
offensive event. The Bible says that offenses will come, but it is up
to each one of us to either embrace the offense or release it immediately to
God. If one embraces the (evil) spirit
of offense, they have opened a
door for other (evil spirit) embraces to follow. This is a strategy of
the enemy to bring people into bondage (captivity/character defects).]
(2nd) embracing a lying spirit of reinterpretation [exaggerates events &
explains things (& motives) in a negative way]...
(3rd) embracing a spirit of accusation & judgment...
(4th) embracing a spirit of bitterness [You can tell you are in bitternesswhen you relive the same event (&/or emotions) over & over in your
mind...& then begin to spread it to others... Now these tormentors (demons)
have a (legal) right to lock you up & torment you...until such a time as

"Suddenly, about 5.5 years after his
conversion, he felt like the presence of the Lord was withdrawing from him. He
began to hear a voice telling him that he 'had denied the Lord' & accusing him of many other
things. His whole live started a vicious down hill course. He began to have
trouble praying & reading his Bible. He continually had thoughts accusing
him of denying the Lord, although he knew of no specific instance where he had
done so. He started having trouble at work & eventually lost his job...
He was being destroyed. Sound familiar? For some of you reading this,
Steve’s story will sound very familiar to what’s going on in your own life. What
in the world is happening in Steve’s life? Ghosts from the past. You have
heard that saying, 'Ghosts from the past will come back to haunt you.'
What the saying means literally, is that things you have been involved in,
in the past, will eventually bring difficult problems into your present.
This is
exactly what is happening in Steve’s life, and in the lives of so many other
(born-again) Christians.
You see, the sins Steve committed (before salvation) allowed many demon spirits
to come into his life. The whole series of problems, including the rebellion &
sexual immorality started at an early age when he was sexually molested. The
sexual molestation brought demon spirits into his life which started all the
trouble. As he entered his teen years, they rose up with great power &
influenced everything he did, trying to destroy him.
They worked through him to destroy his relationship with his parents, & eventually
nearly killed
him... Each fall into...sin...allow more spirits to enter his life, hastening his
down-ward spiral into destruction. BUT, God in His infinite mercy put His hand
on Steve’s life; Jesus appeared to him to give him one last chance. Steve
accepted & his whole life was changed. However, unfortunately, Steve was
never taught that he needed to
cleanse his life (to repent of specific
sins + to cancel & evict personal &/or inherited
strongholds/curses/ demons). He simply prayed the 'Sinner’s Prayer' asking Jesus to come into his life &
to forgive all his sins. He never once thought that he needed to do anything
else. This is a great error (shortcoming/half-truth) in teaching in the Body
of Christ today.
You see, when a person such a Steve prays that 'Sinner’s Prayer,' in that
instant of time God performs a purely supernatural act in his life. Before
praying that prayer, the person is a sinner separated from God (& His
spiritual family/blood-line).
After praying the prayer, God places him under the covering of the blood of
Jesus & he becomes a son of God by adoption. The Holy Spirit enters into
his life & he becomes a 'new creation in Christ.' This was manifested by the
complete change in Steve’s life. BUT, his past sins were never dealt with. The
demon spirits that entered into his life through those sins were never kicked
out (bound & evicted, in Jesus' name). They simply went into hiding
(dormancy/vacation).
However, God knew they were there, & so did Satan. Eventually, as happens in
every case, Satan went before God & petitioned to destroy Steve. He said
something like this: 'God, You see your servant Steve? He has never cleansed
(uprooted the weeds in) his life as your Word commands. My demons are still in
his life. Now I am petitioning you to allow my demons to rise up and destroy
Steve.' Because God is a just judge, He will have to grant Satan’s petition.
But God does not simply abandon Steve to
the demonic attacks. (That’s why some of you are reading this, God has not
abandoned you either.) In time,
God brought Steve...to the point where he
recognizes his need to cleanse his life. God cannot fulfill all He wants in
Steve’s life as long as he has defilement in his temple.
'Do you not know that you are the temple of God & that the Spirit of God
dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For
the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.' 1 Cor. 3:1617 As soon as Satan petitioned God, the demon spirits in Steve’s life began to
rise up.
As they did, the Holy Spirit backed down. Steve became aware of the loss of
God’s presence in his life. Prayer & Bible reading became difficult to the point
where Steve nearly stopped both. As the demons exerted more & more influence in
Steve’s life, they created difficulties for him at work to the point where he
finally lost his job. Not only did they work directly through Steve’s
mouth, causing him to say & do things to offend others. They
also worked directly against others. Demons in a person can give others around
them a sense of revulsion every time they are in the person’s presence.
This will cause them to withdraw & not want anything to do with that person. Neither the person with the demons, or the others around will ever recognize
that what is happening is a direct result of the presence of demon spirits.
That’s the problem.
[The Full
Armor of God -
http://biblehub.com/ephesians/6-12.htm - 11Put
on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the
schemes of the devil. 12For
our struggle is not against flesh & blood, but against the rulers, against the
powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces
of wickedness in the heavenly places.13Therefore, take up
the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day.]
Our battle is not visible. Ephesians 6 tells us clearly that our battle is
against the unseen spirit realm. However, these unseen spirits can,
from
the outside of us, affect us with all sorts of (oppressive) emotions &
thoughts. That’s what happened to Steve. Even on those occasions when
he did not say or do anything to offend those around him, the demons still
afflicted those people with feelings & thoughts against Steve, thus causing
him to lose his friendships. The same thing happened when he went for job
interviews. The demons were right there affecting the person doing the interview
to make him think negatively about Steve. Then as a final punch, often the
demons would influence Steve to say something which would finalize
the loss of
the possible job.
These spirits were busy directly in Steve as well. They continually put all
sorts of accusatory thoughts into his mind to try to drive him away from God.
He became discouraged and decided that it was impossible for him to please God.
Stronger and stronger (obsessive-compulsive) thoughts came to
him...These spirits also hindered him from eating...to the point where he was
losing his health. All in all, the demons were destroying Steve on every
level. Physically, in all his relationships, financially, and most importantly,
in his relationship with God.
Praise God! Jesus provided the solution for all of Steve’s problems on the cross
more than 2,000 years ago. Unfortunately, Steve had not been taught about the
fullness of Christ’s provision for him. That’s why God’s Word sadly proclaims:
'My people are destroyed (esp. with emotional & physical maladies) for lack of
knowledge.' Hosea 4:6 God’s word is plain.
It is
our responsibility to cleanse our lives. Jesus made the provision on the cross
so that we could do this, but we must do the cleansing!
Steve
could have avoided all these difficulties if he had only known to follow God’s
Word. 'Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse
ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh & spirit, perfecting holiness in
the fear of God.' 2 Cor. 7:1 O.K...How? 'If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to
forgive us our (personal & family un-repented) sins and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness.' 1 John 1:9...Simply asking the Lord to 'forgive all my
sins' is NOT a (full) confession because it does not name the specific sins.
Steve had never taken the time to
confess his sins. He fell into the trap of simply asking the Lord to
'forgive all my sins.' Therefore, the demon spirits that came into
his life through those sins never had to leave because Steve had never cleansed
himself from those sins. This is why, in almost every recorded instance of
people accepting Christ in the books of Acts, they were instructed to 'repent'
for their sins. Repentance involves a process...&...means that you review your
past life & specifically confess...specific sins, not just a blanket
statement.
...Charles Finney had this to say...'General confessions of sin will
never do. Your sins were committed 1 by 1, & as best as you can they should be
reviewed & repented of 1 at a time.' (Lectures On Revival,
by Charles Finney, Bethany House Publishers, 1988, pp. 3031)
Once you have been cleansed from a (named) sin (with a named person), the
spirits that came into your life through that sin no longer have any legal right
to stay in your life. You can then simply command them to leave in the
name of Jesus, & they must go.
However, if we do not go through this cleansing process, then any
spirits that came into our lives through sins, have the legalright to
stay. They may remain dormant for years after our conversion to
Jesus, but eventually they will rise up & bring havoc and destruction into our
(or our grandchildren's) lives. Not all sins allow spirits to enter our lives, but many of them do. The 3
general areas of sins that bring demonic defilement into our lives are:
inheritance, sexual sins, & any involvement in the occult or the worship
of other gods. I call these sins 'doorways.'
...Make haste to cleanse your life! Once you have done this, then you can
take your case into God’s courtroom & ask the Lord to render judgment between
you & Satan & bring a halt to this process of destruction.
You need to deal as best you can will all the (individual un-repented personal
&/or family) sins in your life, but start with those that allowed spirits to
enter. You can do this in 4 simple steps: 1.
Name the
sin. Sit down & write up a list of every sin that you (or your ancestors) have
committed (& failed to confess to God or failed to discontinue) that falls
into these categories. Ask Holy Spirit to bring them to your memory.
2.
Repent and Confess the Sins. Set aside a block of
time when you can do this...
Pray through each one of you sins individually...Cross each one off of your list
as you deal with it, so that you will know which 1 you have confessed, & which one you haven’t.
3. After confessing each sin, then command all demons that came into your
life through that sin to get out at once & forever in the name of Jesus.
This is not a prayer, it is a command. Open your mouth & speak out loud.
This is how we interact with the unseen spirit realm. Speak like this:
'In the name of Jesus Christ, I take authority over every demon that came
into my
life through my sin of __________ (with _____________ ).
I command you to get out of my life right now and forever in the name of Jesus!
You don’t have to know the names of the demons, you don’t have to know how many.
All you have to do is command them out by the sin (or nature) that allowed them
to come in. God will take care of the rest. Luke 10:19 and Mark 16:17 gives us
our authority over these spirits in the name of Jesus.
4. Accept in faith that they are gone! Stop
sinning & saturate your life with God’s word, prayer & praise. God
always performs His Word. His Word says that if you will confess a sins, He will
cleanse you. His Word says that if you command a demon to leave, it has to go.
It’s just that simple. Be thorough & methodical. Your life will change
is you will just do these simple 4 steps...Take
a few minutes & read through the list.
You may be surprised at what has
been in your own life in the past that you have never dealt with.
Before you
read, please join me in this prayer:
'Dear Lord Jesus, when You were here on earth You promised to send Holy Spirit
to us. You told us that 1 of His jobs was to convict us of our sins. Now,
blessed Holy Spirit, as I read through this list, I am humbly asking You to
convict me of any (un-confessed) sins I have committed, that I have never dealt
with. Please bring them to my memory (when I am able with Your help to deal
with them). I ask & thank You for this,
in the name of Jesus'... Below is a list of all the most
common doorways that allow demons to enter a person’s life:
Sexual Doorways - List #1 - List, by name, every person
with whom you have sinned sexually (including those who have sinned against
you). If you cannot remember the name, write down the incident. Also list any
other sinful sexual activities, such as pornography, sex with the same sex, etc.
Also list if you have been sexually molested and by whom, if you have been
raped, if you have participated in a sexual ritual of any sort. List each ritual
separately. Occult Doorways -List #2 - List every incident of any involvement in the
occult or any thing that blanks out your mind. (Many good cited) Examples:
∙ Drunkenness ∙ Street drugs – list each type ∙ Abortion (which is really
human sacrifice to the god of self)∙
Inheritance Doorways -
List #3 - Deal with
(family blood-line + tribal/territorial inheritance, such as genocide due to war
or abortion). To the best of your ability, list the (un-dealt with) sins
(iniquities/curses/diseases/maladies) of your forefathers, especially if they
were involved in the occult or any religion other than Christianity. Also, if
they were involved in any secret organization. All secret organizations involve
oaths taken by the members binding their offspring to loyalty to these
organizations... Doorways For (above or) Other Specific (personal or inherited Sins
not yet - apologized for and placed under the blood of Jesus):
(such sins as those listed in Deuteronomy 28
http://www.biblestudytools.com/deuteronomy/28.html )
Go through your (sin) list (and repent of) one by one (that you have NOT already
confessed).
Cross out each one as you finish with it so you won’t get mixed up or lose track
of where you are on the list.
Prayer:
Father, in the name of Jesus I ask you to forgive
me for my sin of ___________.
I acknowledge this as being sin & repent for it. Please cleanse me from it. I
thank you for it, in the name of Jesus (Your son). Command: In the name of Jesus
Christ, I take authority over every demon spirit that
came into my life
(mate/offspring/family) through my sin of ___________.
I command you to get out right now & forever in the name of Jesus. (I
enlist, in Jesus' name, holy angels to close & seal all evil doors & to open
all doors to Your holy blessings the opposite of the sin now covered with the
blood of Christ. Thank You, Lord. Amen.) Conclusion: When you have prayed through your list and cleansed
your life, you need to pray in your own words & thank the Lord for His wonderful
work of cleansing you. Ask Him to fill you completely with the Holy Sprit.
Keep short accounts with God. If you sin, deal with it immediately. If you
forget something & then remember it later, no problem. Simply deal with the sin
immediately in the same way. If you wonder if something is a doorway or not, I
have a little saying: 'If in doubt, cast it out.' You won’t be hurting anything.
Saturate your life with God’s Word, prayer, praise &
worship.
Your life will change."
There are demonic
spirits that are doorkeepers (gatekeepers) & make it
possible for other spirits to enter &
leave a person.
These doorkeepers need to be cast out in order to prevent spirits from entering
or re-entering a person. In the Old Testament,
the gate was the place of authority. To possess the gate of your enemy means to
exercise dominion over them.
Whomever controlled the gates to the city had dominion over the city (Genesis
22:17; Judges 5:8; Deuteronomy 28:52, 55).
Sometimes when the spirits are cast out of a person the doorkeeper (if not
exposed) will remain behind for the purpose of opening the door for them to
re-enter. It is necessary to bind & destroy the
doorkeepers to prevent Satan from rebuilding his
kingdom in an individual."
