[00:00:10] Good morning, everyone. We want to welcome all of our students out there. This is Fire and Grace School of Ministry and
[00:00:18] We are in semester two
[00:00:21] Block number four spiritual warfare. This will be spiritual warfare class number six today
[00:00:28] we're going to get into demons and deliverance, so I I don't know I'm combining and
[00:00:35] renewing some stuff from the old series and putting in some new stuff, so
[00:00:40] I'm not sure if this will take two or three classes, but we'll see how it goes anyway demons and deliverance
[00:00:48] spiritual warfare class number six let's get started here. This is just from some I don't know Bible school seminary
[00:00:55] I thought it was interesting so I want to read a little bit of this paper from this gentleman here, but
[00:01:01] just talking about
[00:01:03] demon possession and demons in general. I think he made some interesting observations
[00:01:09] He says here in the New Testament
[00:01:12] The picture changes considerably when one turns to the New Testament
[00:01:16] He was comparing the the stories of demons and demon possession in the Old Testament versus the New of course in the new
[00:01:22] There's a lot more. He says in the New Testament
[00:01:26] demons are referred to more than
[00:01:29] 100 times now that I didn't know I'd never counted them up
[00:01:33] but demons are referred to more than 100 times with many of those references involving
[00:01:40] possession and we're going to define what that means and the different degrees of possession as
[00:01:44] we get into this class today. He goes on to say this particularly true of the gospel counts where J.
[00:01:49] Ramsey Michaels professor at Gordon
[00:01:52] Conwell Theological Seminary search quote nothing is more certain about the ministry of Jesus than the fact that he performed
[00:02:00] Exorcism or he cast out devils. I mean, this is absolutely a
[00:02:04] huge part of the ministry of Jesus and this ministry was to continue it continued on in his
[00:02:11] Apostles it continued on under the 70
[00:02:14] disciples that he sent out and it continued on in the early church and
[00:02:18] Has continued on in the church for centuries even though most churches ignore it
[00:02:24] He says here dealing with demon possession was an integral part of Jesus daily life and ministry
[00:02:30] It was also something in which he involved the Apostles and his other followers as
[00:02:36] Bible scholar and Christian apologist Merrill Unger reminds his readers quote not only did Jesus cast out demons
[00:02:43] But he delegated his power to the 12 to the 70 and even to believers now
[00:02:49] I want to read that again
[00:02:51] You know Unger's Bible dictionary anybody ever heard of that one. Well Merrill Unger says and I'm going to quote him again here
[00:02:58] He reminds his readers not only did Jesus cast out demons, but he delegated his this power
[00:03:06] to the 12 to the 70 and even to
[00:03:10] Believers and I don't say all believers true born-again believers in Jesus Christ
[00:03:14] He said unfortunately only a few cases in Scripture are treated with sufficient detail to be of any help in this study
[00:03:22] Even those descriptions are often briefer than one would wish in several passages where demon possession is mentioned
[00:03:28] It is only in passing such as in Mark
[00:03:31] 132 they brought to him all who were sick or possessed with demons the lack of any further detail doesn't provide much help for
[00:03:39] A study of this type except to support a distinction being made in Scripture between
[00:03:44] demon possession and illness
[00:03:46] nine cases in the New Testament are described with enough detail to make possible some comparisons between them and
[00:03:54] Modern day phenomenon such as the Haitian Leo possession now. I want to say this that right there
[00:04:01] I think there's plenty of evidence
[00:04:02] But I think the Lord didn't give as much as maybe we would like because he wants us to be led
[00:04:08] by the Holy Spirit and
[00:04:11] A lot of it we learn by by doing and by gaining experience
[00:04:18] Ministering people but he says the synoptic Gospels Matthew Mark and Luke
[00:04:23] The authors include seven cases of demon possession in which some detail is given. These are the demoniac in the synagogue at Capernaum
[00:04:32] gathering demoniac
[00:04:34] Mark chapter 5 the other ones mark chapter 1 in Luke 4 the daughter of the Syrophoenician woman mark 7 in Matthew 15
[00:04:41] the demonic boy mark 9 Matthew 17 the dumb man or deaf and dumb Matthew 9 Luke and Luke 11
[00:04:50] The blind and dumb man Matthew 12 and then the crippled woman in Luke 13 now at some point in
[00:04:57] This class we will cover all these
[00:05:00] We're going to cover a lot of them today, but I wanted to start out again with just a reminder
[00:05:05] about this verse Ephesians 6 12
[00:05:08] You couldn't state it more plainly that we wrestle not with flesh and blood he says
[00:05:14] But with but against rather principalities and powers and the ruins of the darkness of this world and get spiritual wickedness
[00:05:21] in high places or as we said before wicked spirits in
[00:05:26] heavenly places in our
[00:05:28] particularly in our atmosphere
[00:05:31] We've discussed that especially as we talked about binding and loosing last week now
[00:05:34] I do have a couple of quotes from the book of Enoch and I'm gonna state again
[00:05:38] Don't bother sending me stuff about the book of Enoch. I don't put it on the same level as Scripture
[00:05:44] But it is it kind of holds a place of its own and I do believe it holds correct information
[00:05:50] Just like I don't believe a history book
[00:05:53] Is on the same level of Scripture?
[00:05:55] But I do believe that some of our history books, you know contain correct information now
[00:06:00] one of the reasons I believe the book of Enoch is a
[00:06:05] Legitimate historical source is because we know that it was quoted by Jude who was the half-brother of Jesus
[00:06:12] His book is in the Bible and he quotes the first chapter of Enoch one now the Enoch two and three forgeries
[00:06:19] but Enoch one he quotes word for word and said Enoch prophesied and
[00:06:24] so he was looking at what was
[00:06:27] Recorded in the book of Enoch as a prophetic utterance from the Lord and he recorded it
[00:06:32] Word for word in the book of Jude and of course the book of Enoch or Enoch one here
[00:06:36] Was found in the Dead Sea Scrolls. So
[00:06:40] It is an ancient book. It's not a medieval forgery. It is a very ancient book that was referred to and I believe that we see
[00:06:48] even the Lord Jesus and
[00:06:50] Some of the other apostles Peter even quoting from it almost word for word. So having said that I think we've lost some things in
[00:06:58] Translation there may be aspects of it in especially in later chapters of the book of Enoch that you know
[00:07:04] You'd have to call in the question. But again as as I say many times eat the hay
[00:07:09] Spit out the sticks. Okay, we have to do that with
[00:07:13] anything we read outside of
[00:07:16] Scripture outside of the 66 books we call the can now, let's read this. This is the book of Enoch
[00:07:22] chapter 15 verses 8 through 11
[00:07:26] Talking about there's a difference between the fallen angels and what demon spirits are and I believe this to be true
[00:07:31] because I believe the Bible gives us also
[00:07:34] enough hints and clues that we can deduct this but
[00:07:38] Let's read this. Anyway, Enoch 15 8 through 11 says and now the Giants who are produced
[00:07:44] From the spirits and flesh shall be called evil spirits upon the earth and on the earth shall be their dwelling
[00:07:52] evil spirits have proceeded from their bodies because they were they are born from men and from the holy watchers or the
[00:08:00] Angels known as the sons of God and this was their beginning and their primal origin
[00:08:06] They shall be evil spirits on the earth and evil spirits. Shall they be called as for the spirits of the of heaven
[00:08:14] In heaven shall be their dwelling but as for the spirits of the earth which are born upon the earth
[00:08:19] The earth shall be their dwelling. Now listen this and the spirits of the Giants afflict
[00:08:24] Oppressed destroy attack do battle and work destruction on the earth and cause trouble
[00:08:31] It's very interesting here. So they take no food, but nevertheless they hunger and thirst
[00:08:36] Not interesting and they walk through Jesus said they walk through dry places seeking rest, but they find none
[00:08:42] right, and
[00:08:44] It says cause offenses and these spirits shall rise up against the children of men and against the women because they have proceeded from them
[00:08:52] So I'd say that's a pretty accurate description of evil spirits. Now. Why do we believe?
[00:09:00] that this is
[00:09:02] True here because if we look here at two passages in the Bible here in the New Testament 2nd Peter
[00:09:10] chapter 2 4 through 5 and
[00:09:12] June verse 6, of course, Jude is just one
[00:09:17] Chapter but Jude is also the book that quotes the book of Enoch word for word almost all of chapter 1 of Enoch
[00:09:26] But here it says this
[00:09:28] Will read 2nd Peter 2 4 3 5 verse 4 if God spared not the angels that sin
[00:09:34] But cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness to be reserved unto judgment
[00:09:42] And spared not the old world but saved no other the eighth person a preacher of righteousness
[00:09:46] Bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly
[00:09:49] So here says God spared not the angels that sin but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains
[00:09:55] This sounds as though that the fallen angels or at least a majority of them
[00:10:01] Were delivered into
[00:10:03] Chains into hell. So then what are we fighting out here now?
[00:10:08] I do believe there's some fallen angels that are loosed
[00:10:11] But he makes this statement here, too
[00:10:13] It says the angels this is Jude 6 and the angels was kept not their first estate but left their own habitation
[00:10:19] He hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. So
[00:10:26] It seems as though we see that there are the fallen angels
[00:10:31] at least
[00:10:33] I mean this these passages make it sound like all of them
[00:10:36] I don't know if it's all of them. We know
[00:10:39] Satan Lucifer, you know, we know he's still loose
[00:10:43] but
[00:10:44] This shows you then, you know, then what are these thousands and thousands and thousands or what are these unclean spirits?
[00:10:50] so I do believe in the realm of where you have principalities powers the rulers of the darkness of this world and
[00:10:56] Wicked spirits, I believe you're getting a breakdown that the principalities like we covered
[00:11:01] Last week are the fallen angel princes that have more authority
[00:11:07] than the unclean spirits, but that the unclean spirits are the
[00:11:13] disembodied spirits of the Giants who were the half-breaths now, I believe that
[00:11:17] You may not believe that there be people out there who disagree with me and not believe that that's fine
[00:11:23] But it doesn't really take away from the issue
[00:11:27] The Bible talks about foul spirits unclean spirits evil spirits. Those are terms used and
[00:11:34] in Jesus name the true born-again believer has power and
[00:11:39] authority to bind them and cast them out of people and
[00:11:43] Resist them and to make them flee and it really doesn't matter if you believe they're all fallen angels or you believe that
[00:11:50] There are some fallen angels and some
[00:11:53] Evil spirits that are the disembodied
[00:11:55] Spirits of the Giants either way. We have authority over them. Whatever they are
[00:12:01] Whatever they came from I'm just telling you what I believe I do believe that this in Enoch is valid
[00:12:08] Here's the other passage in the book of Enoch that I also believe to be
[00:12:13] true profitable here
[00:12:15] Yeah, this is Enoch 10 11 through 13
[00:12:19] He says and the Lord said unto Michael
[00:12:21] It's Michael the archangel one of the princes we covered him
[00:12:25] He said go bind some Jazza and his associates who have united themselves with women
[00:12:30] so as to have defiled themselves with them and all their uncleanness and
[00:12:35] when their sons have slain one another and
[00:12:38] They have seen the destruction of their beloved ones buying them fast for 70 generations in the valleys of the earth
[00:12:44] Till the day of judgment and of their const
[00:12:47] Consummation tell the judgment that is forever and ever is consummated in those days
[00:12:52] Shall they be led off to the abyss of fire and to the torment and the prison in which they shall be confined forever
[00:12:59] Now it sounds just like Peter and Jude or given us this right here
[00:13:04] But just in synopsis just kind of short shortened form here now some people may argue well
[00:13:10] Pastor Dean if you believe this if you believe
[00:13:13] This about the book of Enoch then it's really the only the 200 angels that sin and agreed together to
[00:13:20] corrupt the women and
[00:13:22] Consort with human women and produce a race of giants and maybe that's true. I'm just telling you these are what the verses say if there's obvious
[00:13:30] Even if we accept that it's still the Bible's telling us that there are angels that are chained
[00:13:37] the angels that sinned
[00:13:39] left their first estate and
[00:13:42] So it appears that
[00:13:46] Many of them some of them. I don't know, but I think it was important to just address this and
[00:13:53] There's more to be said about this, but we're gonna move on this morning. All right now we got all kind of accounts
[00:14:02] Of demon possession talked about now in the media. I'm gonna share just a little bit
[00:14:07] So, you know even the unsaid even the world is beginning to see this. Here's Fergie the singer
[00:14:13] I guess she was with the black eyed peas
[00:14:16] And then went out on her own. I think she still sings with the black eyed peas. Of course, she was a child
[00:14:23] Actor, you know star one of the kids shows way way back. I didn't know that till recently here
[00:14:29] This is a CBN news article from goodness. When was this just?
[00:14:35] 2017 so this is September 26 2017
[00:14:38] Fergie says that I was seeing devils everywhere singer Fergie opens up about her personal struggle and how she found redemption
[00:14:47] Now I'm not sure she
[00:14:49] Found redemption. There's some questionable things here. But just the fact that she's acknowledging that she was seeing
[00:14:57] demons here
[00:14:58] So singer-songwriter Fergie Duhamel, I guess that's her name has achieved chart popping success worldwide as a female vocalist for the black eyed peas
[00:15:06] however
[00:15:07] Her most recent solo work a song entitled a little work takes a look at the 42 year old struggle against her personal demons
[00:15:15] Well, she didn't say it was personal demons as if it was just her own, you know weird struggles
[00:15:20] She says I got to the point where I was seeing devils everywhere devil faces creatures that would appear to me and say
[00:15:27] fly fly fly
[00:15:28] Fergie says in the songs music video
[00:15:32] She said I would constantly be in a state of just listening to these characters or these demons or creatures
[00:15:38] What they were going to tell me what their messages were she had so
[00:15:43] She recalls a time when she almost had a panic attack in public
[00:15:47] You know in the end the story goes on now
[00:15:49] she says she ran into a church and she told the demons to go and she had this epiphany and
[00:15:56] All right, and I think there's one account where she says she called on Jesus. I you know, maybe she did maybe she didn't but
[00:16:03] Bottom line she said when she ran in this church and she cried out and I believe she did probably in a moment of
[00:16:10] Terror and pain cried out and you know, there was some relief there
[00:16:14] But she's by no means fully delivered after I especially even after I watched the video of this song
[00:16:21] I'm like this song is jacked up and I want you to look in the video
[00:16:25] And she goes in this church and I think in the video there's this again
[00:16:29] The video is not what the church she ran in or whatever. It's just you know, but the video is just disturbing
[00:16:36] Do you notice the upside-down cross? She's wearing right there. I would say there's still issues going on here, right?
[00:16:43] Now I won't say this about Fergie
[00:16:45] I didn't know until recently but there's evidence that some very bad things happened to her when she was a child
[00:16:52] Actress and actor or whatever in Hollywood and on that kids show and there's just some
[00:16:58] There's some evidence has come out and you know, of course I didn't you know, I was
[00:17:05] Not watching those kids shows back then so and of course her name was
[00:17:10] Something else but you know, they showed to her I was like wow, but she was definitely
[00:17:17] She was definitely abused I believe and she was definitely probably
[00:17:22] Taking through some satanic ritualistic abuse and she was if she's had this kind of success in the music industry then
[00:17:30] she's carried on with that and
[00:17:33] I have no doubt that she sees devils everywhere and that she was
[00:17:37] Struggles with demon possession. Um, did she get delivered? Probably not
[00:17:41] And if so, even if she cried out to the lord and found a little relief she still
[00:17:47] Obviously did not get completely free, especially if you watch this video
[00:17:51] Like I said, it's troubling but this kind of stuff it goes on in the media. There's some stuff articles from
[00:17:57] 2016 here's 180 children treated in hospital after outbreak of demonic possession
[00:18:03] in peruvian school where people say they had
[00:18:06] Visions of a man in black trying to kill them disturbing footage shows the children convulsing screaming and feigning
[00:18:13] Unfolded at pariah flores school
[00:18:17] in northern peru built on
[00:18:20] a mafia graveyard
[00:18:22] Locals claimed the shocking scene was a mass case
[00:18:26] of demonic possession
[00:18:28] So there's there's one there's more stories three american friends
[00:18:33] It's not just overseas three american friends hospitalized
[00:18:37] after becoming possessed
[00:18:39] following
[00:18:41] Ouija board game in mexican village for an updated version of this article. It tells you to click it says alexandra herta
[00:18:49] Uh 22 reportedly playing with a ouija board in a mexican village joined by her brother sergio 23 an 18 year old cousin fernando
[00:18:58] Juaves or I don't know how you say that
[00:19:00] Anyway, but minutes into the game the trio apparently started acting in a trance like state alexandra began growling
[00:19:09] While her relatives were suffering hallucination
[00:19:11] The players were taken to a hospital where they were treated with painkillers. This was in 2014. Now, let me say this
[00:19:17] Um just as a testimony here
[00:19:20] This happened. I was a youth pastor in a church many many years ago
[00:19:24] And I had instructed this the young people and I had I had
[00:19:29] young people in this youth group from probably 13 to
[00:19:33] 13 to 19, you know
[00:19:35] And uh at that time, I think there was probably about 50 or 60 in the youth group
[00:19:40] And I had warned them about playing with occult stuff and particularly I had warned them about playing with the ouija board
[00:19:47] And there was this one girl named jamie who was friends with my cousin karen and
[00:19:52] They did a sleepover jamie went and did a sleepover at some of her friends from school at their house
[00:19:57] one weekend
[00:19:59] And they played with the ouija board
[00:20:02] Well, she came to church the following wednesday night
[00:20:06] And we had youth meetings on tuesday. She didn't show up on tuesday
[00:20:10] And so she came to the regular wednesday night church service
[00:20:14] And i'm in the church service, you know, the pastor's preaching and and i'm just sitting in the sanctuary in the service
[00:20:21] and a bunch of the teenagers run in there and say you you got to come out here quick jamie is
[00:20:27] Freaking out, you know, they knew she was
[00:20:30] demonstrating demon possession
[00:20:32] So I go into
[00:20:34] What had been the previous sanctuary now is you know, I guess it by then turned into like the chapel
[00:20:41] And I go in there and the there's a bunch of the youth group and some of the guys trying to hold her
[00:20:47] And this little 15 year old girl 16, whatever she was she is flinging these two big old boys
[00:20:53] That are football players around like they're little rag dolls and growling and uh voices coming out of her like, uh
[00:21:02] Shouldn't be coming out of a 15 year old girl
[00:21:04] I mean it was and so when you walked up and when you looked in her eyes, it looked like cat's eyes
[00:21:09] You know look like those slits
[00:21:11] uh, and
[00:21:12] And she was growling and hissing and so of course
[00:21:15] I looked at everybody and every all the the teenagers are gathered around. They're all just freaking out. They're just like
[00:21:21] Scared to death shaking in their boots and I looked at all of them and I said this is why I told you
[00:21:26] I said this right here and they told me they said oh she played with the Ouija board this weekend
[00:21:30] I said I told you
[00:21:32] and so we had to go and uh take her to my office
[00:21:36] And some uh, some of the adults came out of the service but uh and just observed but
[00:21:42] uh got her to uh bound the demons got them to calm down got her to confess her sin of
[00:21:48] divination witchcraft playing with the Ouija board
[00:21:51] And then we bound the demons that came in and it was pretty dramatic. It was seven powerful spirits
[00:21:58] That came out of her evil spirits that came out of her
[00:22:01] As we bound them and commanded them to come out divination witchcraft sorcery rebellion so far we bound those demons and uh
[00:22:10] Commanded them come out and um, it was dramatic. It was pretty clear. So this is for me. It's it's not just a
[00:22:16] This article here from 2014 about the Ouija board causing demon possession. It's not just the article
[00:22:24] I have seen it with my own eyes more than once
[00:22:27] Even when I played with the Ouija board as a teenager when I finally prayed over that bound the demons
[00:22:33] Of divination familiar spirits and so on that I acquired from playing with the Ouija board
[00:22:37] I felt them come up and out of me
[00:22:40] I felt them leave when I bound them and commanded them to go in Jesus name. So this is
[00:22:46] real anybody unsaved saved born again, it doesn't matter if you play
[00:22:51] with
[00:22:52] Sin and particularly you play with the occult
[00:22:56] world or sexual sin
[00:22:59] You're going to open doors to demons and we're going to deal with doorways next week, but in more detail
[00:23:05] Here's another article distressing footage shows possessed girl 15 thrashing around and growling as pastors
[00:23:12] Are called to perform exorcism video shows teenager crying while two men attempt to restrain her
[00:23:17] According to her parents the girl had threatened to kill her mother
[00:23:21] Uh family appealed to ministers to help rid their daughter of evil spirit
[00:23:27] And of course it says distressing footage of this 15 year old girl thrashing around on the ground while purportedly being possessed by an evil spirit
[00:23:34] Has emerged online. This was march 2016
[00:23:38] We're not talking about stuff years ago
[00:23:41] I mean, this is just in the recent years here
[00:23:44] Of course, i'm going to bring this one up here and i'm just going to say
[00:23:48] Again at the outset because we're going to post this
[00:23:51] On youtube this teaching today
[00:23:54] But uh, look I don't i'm not one that believes every mass shooting is a hoax and that nobody dies
[00:24:00] Um, I know there's been hoaxes. I know there's been
[00:24:04] Crisis actors, so don't try to tell me every single one is because I just don't buy it
[00:24:10] What is interesting about this story of the virginia tech massacre
[00:24:15] the mother
[00:24:16] of this
[00:24:17] individual the shooter
[00:24:20] Says that she knew her son had demons
[00:24:23] I mean, this is the mother. Is she a crisis actor too?
[00:24:26] But anyway, it says virginia tech massacre did not have to happen
[00:24:30] His mother is a christian who knew her son had demons
[00:24:34] Summer of 2006 she asked 10 churches to deliver him from demons
[00:24:40] They all refused
[00:24:42] Now maybe i'm not going to blame all the churches on this. Maybe
[00:24:46] He didn't didn't exhibit any desire
[00:24:49] Himself to be free from these things and that is important. But april 16th, 2007 32 die at his hand
[00:24:58] Let's read a little bit of this article
[00:25:00] This is a washington post article
[00:25:02] from 2007
[00:25:04] I guess his name hyening cho
[00:25:07] Was so desperate to find help for her silent
[00:25:10] angry son that she sought out some
[00:25:12] Members of one mind church in woodbridge to heal him of what the church's head pastor called demonic power
[00:25:21] But before the church could act late last summer
[00:25:24] Sang hai hui cho
[00:25:27] Had to return to virginia tech to start his senior year
[00:25:31] said reverend dong
[00:25:32] Kioli minister of the presbyterian congregation
[00:25:36] I don't know that presbyterians really have deliverance ministries and cast out demons
[00:25:41] But the article goes on to say cho's family has said nothing publicly about his medical history
[00:25:47] His academic performance or anything else that might explain what drove him to kill nevertheless
[00:25:52] Hanging cho his mother knew last year that her son was troubled before finding one mind
[00:25:58] She had gone to several other congregations of various denominations seeking help according to officials at several
[00:26:05] Northern virginia churches quote his problem needed to be solved by spiritual power
[00:26:10] Said lee whose church members met with cho
[00:26:13] And his mother that's why she came to our church because we were helping several people like him those churchgoers told
[00:26:20] Hanging in cho that her son was afflicted by demonic power and needed deliverance
[00:26:24] And i'm just gathering from this. She did find a church that believed in deliverance and casting out demons, but again the person
[00:26:32] Has to be willing and you know want to submit to it and
[00:26:36] Obviously being in college as a senior. He was of age so
[00:26:40] Mom and church can only go so far in trying to get
[00:26:44] A young person to uh deal with their
[00:26:47] Demonic problems. It has to be something they desire and we'll we'll talk more about that
[00:26:52] As we get into this now, let's look at
[00:26:54] The book of ephesians here chapter two. This is a very interesting verse lets you know
[00:27:00] You know
[00:27:02] Again, like I said my pastor dr. Larry lee many years ago said in his seminary classes at southwestern theological seminary
[00:27:09] in fort worth texas one of the
[00:27:11] Baptist
[00:27:12] Seminaries said that the professors would teach that
[00:27:17] Demons are not active in north america. It's one of the most ridiculous statements i've ever heard
[00:27:21] Here's what the bible says about this especially in the unsafe. All right when you are unsafe
[00:27:27] now
[00:27:29] Remember paul is writing this under inspiration the holy spirit and he's writing to
[00:27:34] If you go to ephesians one, it says he's writing to the saints and to those who are faithful in christ. Jesus
[00:27:39] So he's talking to true born again christians here
[00:27:41] He says and you speaking to these true born again
[00:27:44] Christians he says and you hath he jesus quickened made alive
[00:27:50] Who were dead in trespasses and sins?
[00:27:52] So he's saying he's speaking to people who have been born again
[00:27:56] Through faith in jesus in his blood shed on the cross in his resurrection
[00:28:01] And who have repented and been truly born again truly saved
[00:28:05] So he says you hath he quickened made alive your spirit man has been regenerated made alive
[00:28:11] Who were dead in trespasses and sins wherein in time past you walked according to the course of this world
[00:28:18] So you walked according to the way the world walks the way the unsaved live
[00:28:22] But then he added this according to the prince
[00:28:26] Of the power of the air which is a reference to satan to the evil spirits to the demons to the devil
[00:28:33] the spirit that now worketh in
[00:28:36] the children of disobedience
[00:28:39] Everybody see that
[00:28:40] The spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience. So the bible says if you are not saved
[00:28:48] If you are not born again
[00:28:50] You better count on the fact that you're walking according to the course of this world according to the prince of the power of the air
[00:28:56] And that spirit is working not on you not around you not behind trees and bushes
[00:29:02] It's in
[00:29:03] you
[00:29:05] Okay, and i'm going to show from the book of isaiah as we get through this study this morning that all of us
[00:29:12] especially in our
[00:29:14] Life and our even as christians
[00:29:18] through our sinful
[00:29:20] actions and uh
[00:29:22] We've opened doors to demons and all of us are snared in holes in hidden prison houses
[00:29:26] And that's why I believe that every person even after they become a christian that getting saved is not
[00:29:33] Where it all ends that you know, a lot of people think that you get saved and if you you know
[00:29:37] The demons you acquired when you were unsaved all of them leave you and vanish and that's just not the way it works
[00:29:44] Um, a christian also needs to go through the deliverance process and we're going to address that in this
[00:29:51] But just wanted you to see that the bible is very clear
[00:29:56] that demons are in
[00:29:58] people
[00:29:59] who are lost
[00:30:00] Who are walking according to the course of this world according to satan power principles?
[00:30:06] And things and all it takes is, you know playing with the ouija board playing with the occult fortune teller
[00:30:11] sexual sin fornication adultery
[00:30:15] Any you know playing with false religion buddhism hinduism there's all kind of things freemasonry
[00:30:21] And we're going to cover all those but uh, let's let's move on into some more scriptures here
[00:30:27] Um, you know going back and looking at the uh, the virginia tech killer
[00:30:32] We shouldn't be surprised that demon possession
[00:30:35] Influences violence and even murderous actions. We see this here. This is first. Samuel 19
[00:30:42] talking about
[00:30:43] king saw
[00:30:44] And when king saw got into disobedience and sin and rebellion against the lord
[00:30:48] It says an evil spirit came and began to trouble him
[00:30:52] And really it began to possess him. But we're just going to read first. Samuel 19 8 through 10
[00:30:57] We'll refer back to this later
[00:30:58] But I want you to show how when saw came under the influence of this
[00:31:02] Evil spirit he tried to kill david with with the javelin
[00:31:05] I mean literally tried to murder him but says that there was war again and david went out and fought with the philistines
[00:31:12] And slew them with a great slaughter and they fled from him and an evil spirit from the lord was upon saw
[00:31:18] And when it says from the lord, it just means the lord permitted it to happen
[00:31:22] He didn't protect saw because saw was in sin saw was given place
[00:31:26] So an evil spirit from the lord was upon saw as he said in his house with his javelin in his hand
[00:31:31] And david played with his hand
[00:31:34] And saw sought to smite david even to the wall with the javelin
[00:31:37] But he slipped out of
[00:31:39] Away out of saw's presence and he smoked the javelin into the wall
[00:31:44] And david fled and escaped that night. So
[00:31:46] Uh saw through the javelin so hard that it stuck in the wall. He was trying he was trying to kill david
[00:31:51] But it's clear here. He was being vexed. He was under the influence possessed controlled
[00:31:57] By an evil spirit cannot deny that
[00:32:00] I believe we we have a lot of scripture it points to
[00:32:04] Someone that comes under the control
[00:32:08] of an evil spirit
[00:32:09] Through sin through willful sin through opening doorways
[00:32:13] Uh or yielding to satan's thoughts and temptations
[00:32:18] That these demons come in and they do want to murder and cause harm and that's this is first. John chapter 3
[00:32:24] 11 through 16 says for this is the message that she heard from the beginning
[00:32:29] That we should love one another not as kane
[00:32:32] Remember kane killed able able his brother
[00:32:35] But notice what it says here not as kane who was of that wicked one
[00:32:40] And slew his brother and wherefore why did kane?
[00:32:44] uh
[00:32:45] Why and wherefore slew him or why did kane kill him because his own works were evil and his brothers were righteous
[00:32:51] If you go back to the story
[00:32:53] It says god said kane told kane that uh sin lieth at the door
[00:32:58] denises chapter 4
[00:33:00] And the picture that sin had taken embodiment as is an animal like a lion crouched and ready to pounce
[00:33:07] and he warned
[00:33:08] Him he said you're about to open the door and what did he open the door to first?
[00:33:11] He opened the door to satan satan came into kane
[00:33:15] and then kane
[00:33:17] Took action
[00:33:19] And that's why it says here whosoever
[00:33:21] Hated his brother is a murderer. You know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him
[00:33:26] But he just uses the illustration of kane who was
[00:33:29] Of that wicked one. He opened the door to satan through his sin of jealousy
[00:33:34] anger hatred
[00:33:36] Bitterness and he opened that doorway
[00:33:39] And the demons came in satan came in and it resulted in violence murder
[00:33:44] um
[00:33:45] Again, not surprising that this should be here. Jesus told us this about
[00:33:53] The devil and demons and this desire to kill in the murder in john 8 40 through 44
[00:34:00] Jesus is speaking to the pharisees as he's been arguing with them for some time
[00:34:05] And he tells them he says but now you seek to kill me
[00:34:08] A man that had told you the truth, which I have heard of god. This did not abraham
[00:34:13] You do the deeds of your father then said they to him. We'd be not born of fornication
[00:34:18] We have one father even god
[00:34:20] And jesus said and if god were your father you would love me for I proceeded forth and came from god
[00:34:25] Neither came I of myself, but he sent me
[00:34:28] Why do you not understand my speech even because you cannot hear my word?
[00:34:33] You are of your father the devil and the lust of your father you will do he was a murderer from the beginning
[00:34:39] And abode not in the truth because there is no truth in him when he speaketh a lie
[00:34:43] He speaketh of his own for he is a liar and the father of it. So jesus says
[00:34:48] The reason you want to kill me
[00:34:50] pharisees
[00:34:52] Is because you are doing the the lust and the desire of your father the devil
[00:34:59] so
[00:35:00] A suicide spirit a spirit of whether it be self-murder or murder or violence. It's it's obvious
[00:35:06] That demonic forces are working
[00:35:10] Jesus makes the connection we see the apostle john made the connection in first john and we see the connection from
[00:35:19] Samuel
[00:35:21] And let's keep going here. Let's look here at matthew 17 15 through 20. I just want to read this
[00:35:28] Because children are not exempt generational curses and sins of the parents
[00:35:34] Whether intentionally or whether even through ignorance
[00:35:38] Sometimes it comes down from the third and fourth generation
[00:35:41] But children are not exempt from being vexed tormented afflicted controlled possessed
[00:35:48] by demons
[00:35:49] This is matthew 17 15 through 20
[00:35:52] they brought jesus this uh
[00:35:55] boy that was possessed and
[00:35:58] The father says lord have mercy on my son for he is a lunatic and sore vexed
[00:36:04] For oft times he followed into the fire and often to the water
[00:36:07] And I brought him to die disciples and they could not cure him
[00:36:10] And jesus answered said oh faithless and perverse generation. How long shall I be with you?
[00:36:15] How long shall I suffer you bring him hither to me?
[00:36:18] And jesus rebuked the devil and he departed out of him and the child was cured from that very hour
[00:36:24] Then came the disciples to jesus apart said why could not we cast him out?
[00:36:28] Jesus said and then because of your unbelief
[00:36:31] Or verily I say unto you if you have faith as the grain of a mustard seed
[00:36:34] You shall say to this mountain remove hints to yonder place and it shall remove and nothing shall be impossible to you
[00:36:41] So jesus was saying your unbelief and of course he goes on to tell them
[00:36:45] Mark 9 he talks about
[00:36:47] That really the spirits the evil spirits were trying to
[00:36:51] the evil spirits were trying to
[00:36:54] They were the ones trying to throw get the boy to throw himself into the water in the fire to kill himself
[00:36:59] Um, so again, we see that the spirit of suicide we call it suicide, but a lot of times it's just demonic
[00:37:07] possession vexation control
[00:37:10] Pushing people to do these things
[00:37:13] But jesus, you know had to tell them look if you guys are going to deal with this and there's something you need to understand
[00:37:18] As born again believers where we're not going to be able to do this
[00:37:22] If we don't operate in faith faith in god's word about it
[00:37:26] and if we don't build up our faith
[00:37:29] by
[00:37:30] Prayer and fasting and being in the word of god
[00:37:34] um
[00:37:35] we can we can be believers
[00:37:37] and
[00:37:39] And technically be given the authority and the power to bind and cast out demons
[00:37:44] But there are some situations like this one some of the more powerful more
[00:37:49] difficult situations with people
[00:37:51] um
[00:37:52] It's not going to it's not going to happen
[00:37:54] And even though maybe we've done it in the past and seen success. We're going to run into situations that we better be
[00:38:00] Prayed up and have fasted if we're going to deal with them
[00:38:05] Thoroughly, so let's keep going here
[00:38:09] All right. Here's uh, matthew 8
[00:38:11] 16 through 17. I think we've been
[00:38:14] Had this verse last week this passage, but again, we read from the seminary paper a minute ago
[00:38:21] About that. This was a normal activity in jesus life and ministry
[00:38:25] And of course matthew chapter 8. This is when he goes to peter's house and heals
[00:38:30] peter's
[00:38:31] Mother-in-law
[00:38:32] She was had a fever
[00:38:34] And he rebuked the fever and it left and then
[00:38:37] Of course, jesus has been teaching and preaching and ministering that day
[00:38:40] And of course when people heard that he was at peter's house a bunch of people gathered that evening
[00:38:45] And when the evening was come they brought unto him many
[00:38:50] Many that were possessed with devils
[00:38:53] And he cast out the spirits with his word and healed all that were sick
[00:38:58] That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by isaiah the prophet saying himself took our infirmities and bear our sicknesses. So
[00:39:06] This is again just making the point. This is something that jesus did regularly, but we want to look at this word
[00:39:13] Possessed here. Okay
[00:39:15] Because we get confused sometimes because we don't pay attention we let
[00:39:20] You know the exorcist and linda blair and some of these other these newer
[00:39:25] demon possession movies make us think that everybody is you know
[00:39:30] That's demon has a demon is their head spinning around and they're spitting pea soup and they're growling and
[00:39:36] That's not what we see the bible clearly gives
[00:39:39] Clear definition of what it means to be possessed the word possessed what it means and that there are degrees of
[00:39:47] Quote possession. So let's look at
[00:39:50] Matthew 8 here where it says that many that were possessed with devils were brought to jesus
[00:39:55] It means to just simply hear the outline of biblical usage
[00:39:58] To be under the power of a demon the strongs
[00:40:04] Dahi mo need so by
[00:40:06] do
[00:40:07] I mean dahi mo need zone
[00:40:10] Ahi, I guess that's how you say it was a long one there
[00:40:14] Here the definition in the strongs greek dictionary. It says to be exercised by a demon
[00:40:19] Have a demon be vexed with a demon be possessed
[00:40:25] with devils, so
[00:40:26] vexed possessed
[00:40:29] Be under the power the influence
[00:40:31] Of a demon it doesn't mean you're totally in in all cases. You're totally controlled. So let's
[00:40:37] Let's look. Of course here is the
[00:40:40] Thayer's it goes on to say to be under the power of a demon a person afflicted especially with severe
[00:40:47] diseases either bodily or mental such as paralysis blindness deafness loss of speech epilepsy melancholy insanity
[00:40:55] Whose bodies in the opinion of the jews demons had entered
[00:40:59] And so held the possession of them as not to afflict them with ills, but also to dethrone reason and to take its place
[00:41:07] uh
[00:41:08] Take its place themselves according to uh, the possessed or want to be expressed the mind of consciousness of the demons and dwellings
[00:41:15] So he's saying the demons would also speak and
[00:41:19] manifest through people
[00:41:21] But here are the degrees of demon possession. Let's look at we're going to look at all these passages here
[00:41:25] Those were not going fast in class
[00:41:29] But three degrees of demon possession now i'll put that in quotes because again
[00:41:33] We think of possession always we define it in our heads as in english. We think it means total control and dominion
[00:41:41] But that's not always the case. It's it's in degrees and it can get to the place of total
[00:41:49] control and dominion
[00:41:50] The three cases we have here. The first one is a daughter of abraham had one demon
[00:41:56] Luke 13 11 through 17. She had a spirit of infirmity. We're going to turn there read that
[00:42:01] Jesus cast that spirit out. She was healed
[00:42:05] Right of her infirmity
[00:42:07] The bible tells us in luke 8 1 through 3. Mary Magdalene had seven demons. That was very clear
[00:42:12] The disciples saw that seven demons
[00:42:15] left her
[00:42:16] And then though we have the gathering demoniac in mark 5 who was what we would call totally demon possessed
[00:42:25] You know crying
[00:42:26] living in the tombs
[00:42:29] Cutting himself with stones, you know running around naked. They try to chain him up. He could break the chains
[00:42:34] I mean this is the kind of thing that that
[00:42:37] This this level of deception. We don't see most of these people because they're locked up in mental institutions. That's what
[00:42:44] The world does with them and now the church cast them to the world and that's where they don't get help
[00:42:50] But let's look at each one of these just so you see the bible passage on it. This is uh
[00:42:55] This is the woman that had one demon. She had a spirit of infirmity. She was a daughter of abraham and let me say this
[00:43:01] You see jesus making it very clear when he was casting demons out
[00:43:04] See when jesus said i'm not sent to the but to the lost sheep of the house of israel. He didn't mean forever
[00:43:09] He just meant here in this season
[00:43:12] He was sent to those to minister to those who were all in
[00:43:15] Under the blood covenant of god the old covenant that was still intact until he died on the cross and rose from the dead
[00:43:22] So jesus made it clear, you know, he he ministered primarily during the synagogue
[00:43:28] and cast out demon
[00:43:30] And he this story makes it clear that this was a daughter of abraham. So she was a blood covenant
[00:43:35] israelite so
[00:43:38] We would say that person is a christian now anyone under the blood covenant of god the new covenant now the blood covenant the blood of jesus
[00:43:45] Would say we'd say yeah
[00:43:46] we're we're children of abraham now because through the blood of jesus and
[00:43:50] Faith in his death and resurrection. We are children of abraham
[00:43:54] But anyway, it says been behold. There was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity 18 years
[00:44:01] And was bowed together and could no wise lift up herself. So this was some type of crippling
[00:44:07] disease probably some severe form of arthritis is my guess
[00:44:12] When jesus saw her he called on her and said and her woman thou art loosed from thine infirmity now
[00:44:19] This is a spirit. He said this is an evil spirit. This is a demon causing this
[00:44:24] And he says you are loosed from this
[00:44:26] So here we see, you know, we talked about last week binding and loosing. We bind the demons
[00:44:31] We loose people we can command the demons to loose or let go of people
[00:44:35] I've seen demons with their claws into people and i've told them to loose them and let them go
[00:44:41] And it says jesus and he jesus laid hands on her and immediately she was made straight and glorified god
[00:44:48] Of course the pharisees didn't like it the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation
[00:44:53] Because that jesus had healed on the sabbath day and said unto the people
[00:44:57] There are six days in which men ought to work and them therefore come and be healed and not on the sabbath day
[00:45:02] Of course, jesus rebukes him says you hypocrite
[00:45:05] Does not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall and lead him away to watering
[00:45:11] And ought not this woman be in the daughter of abraham whom satan hath bound lo these eighteen years be loosed
[00:45:17] On this bond on the sabbath day. I mean do you hear the ridiculous religious spirit
[00:45:22] Working there. It's just quite
[00:45:24] Amazing, but she had one demon. She wasn't she wasn't the gathering demoniac in the tunes living
[00:45:31] You know crying and cutting herself with stones
[00:45:34] She just had a stronghold in her physical body
[00:45:39] Causing her and she was bound by satan
[00:45:43] Through this demonic stronghold of infirmity and it was affecting her physical body
[00:45:47] And so jesus commanded that demon to lose her
[00:45:50] And go from her and and she was healed because of that deliverance
[00:45:55] I've seen this happen as well
[00:45:58] Uh, you like my little demons up there
[00:46:02] I put seven of them because here we go. Luke eight and it came to pass afterward
[00:46:07] That he went through every city and village preaching and showing the glad tidings of the kingdom and the twelve were with him
[00:46:12] Jesus and it says in certain women
[00:46:15] Which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities. Mary called Magdalene out of whom went seven devils
[00:46:22] so here we have
[00:46:24] Mary Magdalene
[00:46:26] We went from the woman in loop 13 that had one demon
[00:46:30] To Mary Magdalene here is obviously she had seven
[00:46:33] demons
[00:46:35] I wish we had this whole story
[00:46:37] And and wish we had how jesus sat down and ministered to her and how they knew it was seven that came out of her
[00:46:44] But we don't but I can say I have experienced similar
[00:46:48] Deliverance sessions over the years binding demons and casting them out of people
[00:46:53] um, so
[00:46:55] And there were times you could tell how many left
[00:46:58] Right
[00:47:00] Let's keep going here
[00:47:02] And here's the mark chapter five now. Here's where we get to what I call the degree or level
[00:47:08] of total
[00:47:09] demon possession and this is obviously someone who just
[00:47:13] continued to
[00:47:14] open doors
[00:47:16] Or maybe had some more severe generational
[00:47:19] sins in his
[00:47:21] second third fourth generation back
[00:47:23] Um, but anyway, this is the gatorine
[00:47:26] This is mark chapter five and they came over onto the other side of the sea and to the country of the gatorines
[00:47:32] And when he was come out of the ship immediately, they met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit
[00:47:38] Who had his dwelling among the tombs so he lived
[00:47:41] basically like a homeless person he lived lived out in the tombs outside and
[00:47:46] Among the tombs and said no man could bind him
[00:47:49] No, not with chains because that he had often he had been often bound with fetters and chains
[00:47:54] So they tried to control him
[00:47:56] And the chains had been plucked asunder by him and the fetters broken in pieces neither could any maintain him
[00:48:02] And always night and day he was in the mountains and the tombs crying and cutting himself with stones, isn't it?
[00:48:08] And there's a new epidemic, you know people cutting themselves. That is demon possession
[00:48:13] But anyway
[00:48:15] To an interesting supernatural strength
[00:48:18] Um uncontrollable
[00:48:21] Crying. I mean, this is somebody that the world and even most of the church would label is mentally
[00:48:26] insane
[00:48:28] Um, no one wants to say that
[00:48:30] Anymore that it's really just full-blown demon possession going on here. The story goes on to say this is important
[00:48:37] I want to emphasize this
[00:48:39] Even with this individual being totally demon possessed
[00:48:44] When jesus came and I believe this this has happened in my own life
[00:48:48] I've walked up on people who were totally demon possessed and the demons would talk to them
[00:48:53] And they would say they knew me, you know, and we never met before and our I had you know
[00:48:58] They would tell me something like that
[00:49:01] And I knew we were dealing with a demon, but um, you always want to make sure that the person
[00:49:07] desires freedom
[00:49:10] There are people out there that desire to have their demons they desire to stay in their sin their wickedness
[00:49:15] But this right here says
[00:49:17] verse 6 matthew 5 6 but uh, I mean
[00:49:20] Mark 5 6 but when
[00:49:23] He the man saw jesus afar off. He ran and worshiped him
[00:49:29] This right here shows that the man
[00:49:33] Wanted freedom says he not the demons
[00:49:36] Ran into jesus to worship and the demons won't worship jesus. They won't run and bow to jesus. No
[00:49:44] The man did so the man showed a desire
[00:49:48] To be healed to be free
[00:49:51] And he he I guess just instinctively knew
[00:49:55] This is jesus and maybe he'd heard of jesus
[00:49:58] You know jesus fame by this time had gone out all over the place
[00:50:01] So here's what happened though. So the man runs to jesus. He sees jesus. He runs to him
[00:50:07] He worships him
[00:50:10] And then cried with and cried with a loud voice and said what have I to do with you?
[00:50:14] Jesus thou son of the most high god. I adjure thee by god that thou torment me not
[00:50:19] So here it switches from the man who runs to jesus and worships him then the demons start talking through it and i've seen this happen
[00:50:27] All the demons don't torment for jesus said said come out of the man thou unclean spirit meaning jesus had already said
[00:50:33] Come out of him
[00:50:35] This is what was tormenting the demons that jesus was starting the deliverance process and this was bringing them pain
[00:50:43] But the demon didn't come out immediately
[00:50:46] Remember it says here for he said unto him
[00:50:49] Come out of the man thou unclean spirit
[00:50:52] And meaning jesus went on further. He asked him. What is thy name?
[00:50:57] And the answer saying my name is legion for we are many
[00:51:01] So jesus has to probe the situation a little bit. He finds out it's not one demon
[00:51:07] It's a legion of demons. He found out his name's name legion
[00:51:10] So once he finds out his name, then he's exposed is weakened
[00:51:16] By that and jesus is teaching us something here that we have to find out we have to identify
[00:51:21] These demons and sometimes we identify them by getting them to tell us their name
[00:51:25] And sometimes we just identify them by what they're doing to the person or how they got in but there's ways to identify them
[00:51:34] And it says that he besought him much
[00:51:37] That he would not send them away out of the country
[00:51:40] Now there was nine to the mountains a great herd of swine feeding and all the devils besought him saying send us into the swine
[00:51:45] That we may enter into them and forthwith
[00:51:47] jesus gave them leaves and the unclean spirits went out
[00:51:51] of course, they entered into the swine
[00:51:53] and
[00:51:56] The herd of swine ran violently down a deep place into the sea and they were about two thousand and they were choked in the sea
[00:52:02] And they that fed the swine fled and told it in the city and in the country
[00:52:08] And they went out to see what was done and they come to jesus and they see him that was possessed with the devil
[00:52:15] and had the legion
[00:52:17] Sitting and clothed and in his right mind and they were afraid
[00:52:23] And they saw they that saw it told them how it befell him that was possessed with the devil
[00:52:28] And also concerning the swine and they began to pray him to depart out of their coast and when he was coming to the ship
[00:52:33] He that had been possessed with the devil
[00:52:36] Prayed that he might be with him. And of course, jesus tells him no you go home and tell your friends what great things
[00:52:42] God has done for you. So
[00:52:45] This is a powerful story of total demon possession and somebody getting completely free
[00:52:52] I mean you're talking about when you read that right there
[00:52:55] That he that was possessed with the devil and had the legion
[00:53:00] That he was sitting
[00:53:01] clothed
[00:53:02] And in his right mind
[00:53:04] Boy, isn't there a lot of people that need to be in their right mind now
[00:53:08] They need to be delivered. They are not in their right mind. That's one of the signs of a demon possessed person
[00:53:13] They're not in their right mind
[00:53:15] All right, do stupid things make stupid decisions
[00:53:19] um
[00:53:21] And just compound the problems over and over
[00:53:25] Let's look at this where the bible the bible uses some interesting
[00:53:29] Word here when it comes talking about
[00:53:32] People that have evil spirits. This is luke seven and luke eight. Let's read luke 7 21. It says
[00:53:38] and in that same hour he jesus
[00:53:41] cured many of their infirmities and plagues
[00:53:45] Cured many rather of their infirmities plagues and evil spirits
[00:53:50] And unto many that were blind he gave sight but notice it says he cured people of infirmities
[00:53:56] Right sickness and disease plagues another
[00:54:00] More serious form of sickness and disease, right?
[00:54:04] And then it says cured
[00:54:06] Of evil spirits cured
[00:54:08] All right
[00:54:10] Here's luke eight two certain women which had been healed of evil spirits
[00:54:15] So the bible here talks about being cured
[00:54:18] and healed
[00:54:20] of evil spirits
[00:54:22] The word here both words cured and healed is the same
[00:54:27] greek word
[00:54:28] And uh, let's see if I can pronounce it. They're up you oh they're up you oh
[00:54:34] Sound like a word we have therapy
[00:54:36] It's the root word we have for therapy
[00:54:39] Um, I think it's very interesting. Of course, it means to relieve of disease to cure to heal
[00:54:46] But it means to wait upon meaningly now what's interesting about that notice it says here
[00:54:51] To serve due service to heal cure restore to health
[00:54:55] And when it says here to wait upon meaningly it's like a waiter or a waitress
[00:55:00] Or a servant what's interesting with people that are
[00:55:05] Vexed with demons tormented by demons have demon strongholds in them
[00:55:10] You know, it takes time. What i'm saying is you have to be a servant. It takes time to
[00:55:15] Minister to them and you have to be willing to take the time
[00:55:20] And sometimes it's a process and you you really do have to have a servant's heart and you really do have to be willing
[00:55:27] to take time and spend time and
[00:55:30] so I found that interesting because
[00:55:32] I've been
[00:55:33] Doing that for many years and I spent many hours many many many many hours sitting down talking with people that are
[00:55:40] tormented vexed
[00:55:42] at different degrees of demonic torment and possession and vexation and
[00:55:47] Um, you sometimes you gotta sit on you gotta find out, you know, why why did this happen?
[00:55:52] How did it begin? How did it all get in there, you know, and
[00:55:56] And you find out things and then you're able to help them and it's
[00:55:59] I think of one of the reasons not only there's many churches and pastors and christians
[00:56:03] They don't do this. They don't fool with this ministry is because
[00:56:07] It is a lot of work and it takes a lot of time and um
[00:56:12] You know for some of them, of course, it's just unbelief
[00:56:14] They just don't believe the bible and they don't act on the scriptures and to me it's
[00:56:20] To me if you don't address this as a as a pastor as a church or as a minister of the gospel
[00:56:25] If this is not part of your ministry to me, I just believe you're just
[00:56:31] You're showing you don't care about people because people have these problems. This is a common demon
[00:56:39] possession vexation torment demonic strongholds is a common
[00:56:44] every day problem for
[00:56:48] Many if not all we could say all
[00:56:50] And it is it has to be part of the ministry. It was part of jesus ministry
[00:56:55] It was part of the apostles ministry and jesus said it's supposed to be part of the church's ministry
[00:57:00] Um to ignore it just you just basically saying we don't care about
[00:57:04] This this group of people that are having this problem
[00:57:06] Let's just shove them to psychologists and psychiatrists so they can either put them on
[00:57:10] Pills pharmacia sorcery and further screw up their minds or make them commit suicide or lock them away in
[00:57:18] Mental institutions so we don't have to deal with and that's what's happened. I think we're going to find out a lot of a lot of
[00:57:25] blood is on people going to be on the church's hands because we didn't
[00:57:29] At least try to help people that are having these problems
[00:57:35] But here's the word
[00:57:37] Of course to heal the cure look to serve notice what it says here
[00:57:41] About jesus cured and heal those of evil spirit
[00:57:45] to serve do service to
[00:57:49] You're willing to take the time to serve and do service
[00:57:53] So that you can see these people healed and restored to health whether that's mental health
[00:57:58] See, I don't believe I don't believe mental
[00:58:02] problems are
[00:58:04] An imbalance a chemical imbalance they in fact scientist. Dr. Peter Bregan. He um
[00:58:11] You know, he's an expert. He's not even a christian. He's an expert at
[00:58:15] Uh psychotropic drugs. He's been a psychiatrist. He's harvard graduate john hopkins
[00:58:20] I mean the whole nine yards and the guy flat out just says that
[00:58:24] There's for no reason at any time should people be put on these medications and psychotropic drugs antidepressants
[00:58:31] Bipolar medication going down the line
[00:58:34] He says they do brain damage. It's brain damage and he says there is no
[00:58:40] scientific proof of evidence that
[00:58:44] Mental like emotional problems depression and all this is caused by some kind of chemical imbalance
[00:58:49] Um now granted even if there is a physical problem going on in the brain
[00:58:55] um as we see with the scriptures that we're going through
[00:58:59] that
[00:59:00] satan demons
[00:59:03] It caused physical problems in the body
[00:59:05] um
[00:59:07] But still I mean I like I said, dr. Peter Bregan. That's b-r-e-g-g-i-n. He's worth looking up. Uh
[00:59:16] He especially when it comes to him
[00:59:17] He's an absolute expert on on these drugs and on psychiatry and counseling and uh in the secular arena
[00:59:25] And he says don't touch the drugs
[00:59:27] Don't touch them stay away from them. No one he says no one at any time for any reason
[00:59:33] Should take these things why because it's really a spiritual problem and then these christians need to be sitting down with people
[00:59:40] and trying to
[00:59:41] Heal them and restore them to health in jesus name by the power of jesus
[00:59:46] And by yes binding and driving out casting out demons
[00:59:50] It's part of it and a lot of times again
[00:59:51] It's not some dramatic thing where there's any kind of big manifestation. You just have to do it
[00:59:56] You just have to sit down and find out where a person's being tormented
[01:00:00] Why how did this get in? Is it generational? Is it a door they open? Is it a sin?
[01:00:05] They need to confess and repent of and then we deal with the demonic
[01:00:08] spirit
[01:00:10] But it takes time
[01:00:12] Here's the word again in uh
[01:00:16] Just the definition of therapy
[01:00:19] the word we get
[01:00:21] Uh from that greek word there treatment intended to relieve or heal a disorder
[01:00:26] Look what it says there the second definition the treatment of mental or psychological disorders by psychological means
[01:00:33] Well, this is what christians when jesus when jesus healed people of evil spirits. I want to back up
[01:00:39] When jesus see the word here, this is let me back up again
[01:00:44] the greek word
[01:00:46] therapeutic
[01:00:48] Therapeu where we get the word therapy means to cure
[01:00:52] to heal to relieve of disease
[01:00:55] to restore to health
[01:00:58] This is what jesus was talking about these verses
[01:01:01] That same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues and of evil spirits. He cured them of evil spirits
[01:01:09] Instead of certain women that had been healed of evil spirit
[01:01:14] how
[01:01:15] therapy
[01:01:17] but bible therapy
[01:01:19] not
[01:01:20] worldly secular therapy
[01:01:23] Bible therapy is casting out demons
[01:01:28] in jesus name
[01:01:29] Okay
[01:01:31] That's the therapy they need
[01:01:34] Now granted they have to be willing to submit
[01:01:37] It's again human beings. I believe in free will I believe every human being has a free will so they have to want
[01:01:43] And they have to desire and they have to be willing
[01:01:45] To do the work themselves what they need to do
[01:01:48] but
[01:01:50] It's therapy. This is
[01:01:52] And isn't it amazing the words and that the world we basically the church handed over the world here you do our job
[01:01:59] And they don't they don't have the power the authority or the supernatural power and authority of jesus name to do it
[01:02:06] And that's why they are miserable failures at it
[01:02:12] Yeah, and it was pastor. Kevin said the church has done that in a lot of areas. Yep
[01:02:17] We pass it off to the world. So you see it. There it is
[01:02:21] their opio
[01:02:23] therapy
[01:02:25] to cure people of evil diseases
[01:02:29] So christian therapies to cast out demons
[01:02:33] There it is
[01:02:35] I mean it's it's in the bible
[01:02:39] But oh lord forbid we should do what's in the bible, right?
[01:02:44] Luke 4 18 through 19
[01:02:47] Jesus said here the spirit of the lord is upon me because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor
[01:02:54] He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted
[01:02:57] That's emotional problem
[01:02:59] Brokenheartedness is a real thing
[01:03:02] to preach
[01:03:04] Deliverance to the captives now, why did he say first to preach deliverance?
[01:03:09] because
[01:03:10] It's by preaching this truth that brings faith and understanding so people can get to the point where they can
[01:03:17] Do what needs to be done to receive it
[01:03:20] Goes on to say preach deliverance to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind and then look what he says
[01:03:26] to set at liberty
[01:03:28] them that are bruised the word bruised is
[01:03:31] traumatized
[01:03:33] Uh who have faced trauma to preach the acceptable year of the lord
[01:03:36] So we're to preach deliverance to the captives and then we're to set at liberty
[01:03:40] So why because faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of god. That's what romans
[01:03:45] Chapter 10 says so faith comes by hearing
[01:03:49] Hearing by the word of god. So we preach deliverance first. We teach on it. We preach on it
[01:03:54] So people hear the word the faith is built in them
[01:03:58] And then you can set them at liberty once they have faith for this
[01:04:04] Too many people. I think jumped too quickly
[01:04:07] Um, I had you know
[01:04:09] One of the students that we did had to we've only had to boot one student
[01:04:14] Out of school. Of course, they say they were leaving but
[01:04:17] But they were going to continue the school and I said no, uh, you're not because
[01:04:21] There were some issues but one student
[01:04:25] You know got his panties in a wad because
[01:04:27] He thought I should jump on a situation and do deliverance when I knew the guy wasn't even where near ready
[01:04:33] Nor did I know anything about him and I don't operate that way nor did jesus
[01:04:38] so
[01:04:39] um
[01:04:40] You take time
[01:04:42] To preach and teach it first
[01:04:44] And you find out where people are because you know, you could do people more harm
[01:04:48] You just run into a situation. I'm gonna cast demons out of somebody half cocked and you don't know
[01:04:54] Where they are. You don't know if they're born again or not. You don't know if they want it or not
[01:04:58] You don't know if they're serious
[01:05:00] You're going to do more harm to them and we're going to get into those passages here in a minute
[01:05:04] um and that
[01:05:06] prideful arrogant
[01:05:08] Individuals going to get somebody killed because he's got just enough knowledge to be dangerous, but he hadn't got any wisdom or experience
[01:05:15] And uh, he's about to get somebody killed. So this is not something you play around with. All right
[01:05:23] Uh, look at some more
[01:05:25] scriptures acts 10 38
[01:05:27] It says how god anointed jesus of nazareth with the holy ghost and with power who went about doing good
[01:05:34] And healing all that were oppressed of the devil for god was with him. So jesus went about notice it says again healing
[01:05:41] Those who were oppressed
[01:05:44] of the devil
[01:05:46] I mean
[01:05:47] this should be
[01:05:49] This should be a huge part of
[01:05:52] What we pursue as the church as ministers
[01:05:56] Here's what the word oppress means though. Interesting isn't it?
[01:05:59] A different word from possession cat ad ooh
[01:06:03] nama to you. Oh, I don't even know how to say it
[01:06:07] uh, and I probably could just
[01:06:09] Destroy that but anyway the outline of biblical usage here from multiple lexicons to exercise harsh control over one to use one's power against
[01:06:18] to oppress one
[01:06:20] To exercise dominion against now, what is dominion dominion is authority rule
[01:06:27] This is important because people people get these stupid ideas in their head
[01:06:31] And it just really annoys me. Well
[01:06:34] Can't play oppressed but not posessed
[01:06:41] Again, you're trying to apply
[01:06:44] english
[01:06:46] thoughts
[01:06:48] definitions of words
[01:06:50] to greek
[01:06:52] We know bible words that were originally written in greek or hebrew. It doesn't work. All right
[01:06:58] Here it almost it's almost the exact same thing when it says here to exercise dominion
[01:07:04] to exercise authority or rule
[01:07:08] For the devil or demons to have
[01:07:11] power
[01:07:12] to oppress posez vex
[01:07:15] torment push
[01:07:17] provoke control
[01:07:20] they have to have
[01:07:22] Authority, they have to have right they have to have place
[01:07:27] And that's what this is talking about
[01:07:29] Oppression is a bad thing. I mean
[01:07:31] the term oppression is used when
[01:07:34] You see the the slaves in egypt or the bible talk about oppressing the poor. What's it talking about?
[01:07:40] When it talks about the rich oppressing the poor that talks about they the rich have some kind of power and authority to afflict
[01:07:48] and control
[01:07:50] and manipulate
[01:07:52] the poor
[01:07:54] Like when the israelites were slaves in egypt they were
[01:07:58] Under they they had no power. They were under the power authority control ruled dominion
[01:08:04] Of the egyptians and they needed supernatural power to get them out of that. I mean they had no power of their own
[01:08:11] So the word oppress here is not somehow lighter than or different than the word posess
[01:08:18] Or vexed or to be demonized or to be exercised
[01:08:22] By a demon it literally means to be under their harsh
[01:08:26] control authority
[01:08:30] Dominion or where because they have legal right in your life somewhere
[01:08:35] To have that stronghold or that
[01:08:37] so stop with the
[01:08:40] Christian cliches that have no basis in
[01:08:44] reality, okay
[01:08:48] Just trying to help you
[01:08:50] We don't know we have a ton of christian cliches. I mean they're just
[01:08:54] And and we we take them as gospel because they've just been repeated so many times
[01:08:58] Uh, but here it is again the thayer's greek lexicon of this word
[01:09:02] oppressed in
[01:09:04] acts 1038
[01:09:06] Says here to exercise harsh control over to use one's power against one to oppress one
[01:09:13] so
[01:09:14] Say well, i'm i believe christians can be oppressed and not possessed you're just playing
[01:09:21] Semantics in english you're not discussing anything. That's biblical
[01:09:25] Okay
[01:09:26] Now a christian can have we can have a war that is from the outside that feels the same
[01:09:32] But a lot of times if we open a doorway and give satan lego, right?
[01:09:35] We're dealing with something that's a stronghold that's moved in whether into the body
[01:09:40] Into the soul or even can into the spirit if we do the right, you know, if we mess with the wrong
[01:09:46] The wrong thing we can open a door all the way to the spirit man
[01:09:50] Just to show you where this continued on with the apostles and acts and the ministry of the church
[01:09:54] Let's look at this axe. This is into axe. So this is axe chapter five
[01:09:59] verses 12 through 16
[01:10:01] Says by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people
[01:10:06] And they were all with one accord in solomon's porch and the rest there's no man joined himself to them
[01:10:10] But the people magnified them
[01:10:12] And believers were the more added to the lord multitudes both men and women
[01:10:16] In so much that they brought forth the sick into the streets and laid them on beds and couches that at least the shadow
[01:10:22] Of peter passing by might overshadow them
[01:10:25] There came also a multitude
[01:10:27] Everybody sees a multitude there came a multitude out of the cities round about
[01:10:33] Unto jerusalem bringing sick folks and them which were vexed
[01:10:38] With unclean spirits and they were healed
[01:10:42] everyone
[01:10:44] so those who were sick had infirmities and
[01:10:47] those who
[01:10:48] Had were vexed with unclean spirits tormented demonized oppressed possessed controlled
[01:10:54] harsh
[01:10:55] Control and authority of demons were healed delivered of them
[01:11:00] Now this was a mighty revival. Oh that we have a revival again like this where multitudes come out
[01:11:06] And that everyone gets healed and delivered
[01:11:08] I long for it to see this kind of revival
[01:11:12] again
[01:11:13] But let's keep going. Let's look at this word vexed
[01:11:16] Very interesting word outline of biblical usage here in blue letter bible
[01:11:21] so taken from multiple verses multiple lexicons
[01:11:25] Acleo is the word to mob to harass to vex
[01:11:29] To excite a mob against one to disturb roll away to trouble molest
[01:11:35] To be in confusion and uproar to be vexed molested troubled by demons
[01:11:41] To excite a mob against one it says in the thayers to disturb roll away to trouble molest
[01:11:48] To be in confusion and uproar to be vexed molested or troubled by demons. Everybody see that
[01:11:55] So to be vexed the same word
[01:11:58] Basically, basically if you say the word if you say possessed oppressed
[01:12:03] vexed tormented
[01:12:06] Controlled pushed
[01:12:09] Manipulated
[01:12:11] You know, it's all the same. It's all just just different words to describe
[01:12:17] The same thing
[01:12:18] All right
[01:12:21] Now what did jesus say to us as his?
[01:12:24] disciples his believers
[01:12:26] his followers
[01:12:28] It's two things here that apply to us today. I know there's churches and seminaries that teach that these things don't apply to us today
[01:12:35] They are liars
[01:12:37] It's real simple. They're just deceived or they're infiltrated
[01:12:40] But here's what jesus said john 14 12
[01:12:44] Verily verily or truly truly I say unto you he that believeth on me
[01:12:48] The works that I do shall he do also and greater works than these shall he do because I go into my father
[01:12:54] So what jesus is saying here the works that I do you shall do also jesus cast out demons out of people
[01:13:00] And brought healing to them through casting out demons
[01:13:03] So should we these signs shall follow and that's why mark 16 is that jesus said?
[01:13:08] And these signs shall follow them that believe in my name
[01:13:12] They shall cast out devils
[01:13:14] So this is the ministry that should continue in the church. He said well pastor dean. It hasn't continued in
[01:13:21] In my life or my church. Well, it's something you have to pursue you have to desire
[01:13:26] You have to earnestly desire these things you have to pray for these things you have to ask
[01:13:31] For wisdom and understanding and god to guide you and then you have to step out in faith and
[01:13:35] And begin to bind demons and cast them out and pray for people and
[01:13:40] And it should come out of a season of fasting and prayer
[01:13:44] And but there comes a point where you're you're going to have to step out in faith and do it
[01:13:49] Just do it as nike said years ago. Just do it, right?
[01:13:56] And that that was the point I mean, you know
[01:13:59] There were situations when I was a young believer that I just had to end up stepping out and
[01:14:04] Dealing with and had to learn things as I went
[01:14:07] um
[01:14:09] but
[01:14:11] If something god wants us to do it's not something he wants us to go. Oh, well, i'm not called to do that
[01:14:15] That's somebody else's job. That's a lie. That's just a lie. Where do you see that in the bible?
[01:14:20] I'm not called to cast demons out. That's like saying i'm not called to preach the gospel and witness
[01:14:25] Yeah, it's not. Yeah, joel osteen. That's not my ministry
[01:14:29] What is your ministry?
[01:14:31] I know we know what joel osteen's is
[01:14:33] It's motivational speaking. It has nothing to do with casting out demons healing the sick
[01:14:40] Bible prophecy, I mean none of those things. He's like that's not my ministry
[01:14:43] Oh
[01:14:45] Lord help us. Jesus. That's just so many crazy, but I hear you think you think we laugh and say that's joel osteen
[01:14:51] But I hear christians say stuff all the time
[01:14:54] All that oh, it's not what i'm not called to do that brother
[01:14:57] What?
[01:14:58] Are you a christian? Yeah. Well, guess what the same bible I read you better start reading it
[01:15:03] You better start doing what it says
[01:15:06] Um, this is not relegated
[01:15:08] casting out demons
[01:15:10] healing the sick
[01:15:12] Is not relegated just to fivefold ministers or pastors
[01:15:17] No, this is for the body of crisis should be doing this. Listen, I need more people in our church doing it
[01:15:23] Because I i've got a list i've got a list of people I got to get to
[01:15:28] To do deliverance. I need more. It's time. I got to start passing the baton to some folks
[01:15:34] um
[01:15:36] And and really I hear this from people all over even churches and that have deliverance ministry say that they usually they are
[01:15:44] Overworked and understaffed, you know when it comes to that. They just don't have enough people
[01:15:49] That are equipping themselves and pursuing this to learn how to do it and stepping out to do it
[01:15:54] There's just not enough people doing it
[01:15:58] Versus the demand or the need that's out there because the need is tremendous
[01:16:05] But again, that's what jesus said. So let's uh,
[01:16:09] Let's go on here. This is in luke 4
[01:16:12] And I just found this interesting and said this years ago
[01:16:15] We're gonna kind of we're kind of shifting gears now into showing you
[01:16:18] That yes
[01:16:19] Even christians have demons in them and I say in them that must be cast out of them a christian can have a demon
[01:16:26] Again, that doesn't mean total demon possession like the gatherene demoniac
[01:16:31] uh, but after 30 plus years of
[01:16:34] Doing the ministry and counseling people I can assure you christians have demons
[01:16:38] I mean i've just seen it too many times and christians are struggling with the same thing the world struggles with
[01:16:45] And it's time to just confront the issues
[01:16:48] Um, but when it says when it says he came to set the captives free
[01:16:53] Jesus said he came to preach deliverance to the captives and set at liberty. Those are the word captives
[01:16:59] There in luke chapter 4 where jesus was saying that
[01:17:03] Here is the greek definition of that word and notice what it says down here a prisoner
[01:17:09] of war
[01:17:12] prisoner of war now
[01:17:14] Let's say this if american troops go to war against russian troops
[01:17:18] Or american troops go to war against chinese troops, right?
[01:17:24] and
[01:17:26] Who becomes prisoners of war if if if you're on the russian side and you get captured by the americans
[01:17:34] You were a prisoner of war you're captured by the other side
[01:17:39] right
[01:17:40] But you were on a different side
[01:17:43] And remember when we have satan you have satan and the demon spirits and fallen angels on one side you have jesus
[01:17:51] On the other side
[01:17:53] if you're a prisoner of war
[01:17:55] that means
[01:17:57] You were on the other side
[01:17:59] And you got captured and you're held
[01:18:03] by the enemy side
[01:18:05] I just thought that was just an interesting
[01:18:07] definition prisoner of war
[01:18:10] Think about that
[01:18:11] Now let's look at that. Let's look and i've said this and we're going to talk about
[01:18:16] That we really should not cast demons out of unsaved people
[01:18:21] thus
[01:18:23] And when I say that most people over the years have just freaked out because they think because they've been taught
[01:18:30] It's been drilled in their head by their churches christian can't have a demon christian can't have a demon christian can't have a demon
[01:18:35] Therefore the only people can have demons unsaved
[01:18:38] But jesus showed what happens here if you cast demons out of somebody who's not saved
[01:18:44] What happens let's look at
[01:18:47] Jesus said this in matthew 12 43 through 45. He said when the unclean spirit is gone out of a man
[01:18:53] He walked through dry places seeking rest and findeth none
[01:18:57] Then he saith I will return into my house from whence I came out
[01:19:01] And when he has come he findeth it empty swept and garnished
[01:19:05] Then goeth he and takeeth with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself and they enter in and dwell there and the last state
[01:19:11] Of that man
[01:19:12] Is worse than the first even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation
[01:19:17] So jesus say when the unclean spirit's gone out of a man that means somebody that that means a demon's been cast out
[01:19:23] How did the demon get out?
[01:19:25] Let's look at this. Let's break it down. So how did the demon
[01:19:29] Get cast out
[01:19:30] Well, the only way to cast a demon out of anybody is to bind it in jesus name and command it to leave in jesus
[01:19:35] Name, there's no such I know the catholic church and I mean i've even I even saw a video where jewish
[01:19:41] Rabbis are trying to do and i'm not talking about christian jewish rabbis, which is
[01:19:45] Like christian crack rock, I guess. I don't know but i've seen the world tries to do
[01:19:51] exorcisms and these false churches and false religions
[01:19:54] try to do exorcisms and
[01:19:57] It'll even appear sometimes as if they're doing them and is even as if they're successful and it's just a game that satan's playing with
[01:20:04] The only true deliverance whereas spirit actually has to leave a person
[01:20:09] And go into the dry places and seek rest if I know
[01:20:12] That's because someone has in jesus name bound that demon and commanded it to leave in jesus name. That's it
[01:20:19] That's the only reason so let's look back at our verse here
[01:20:22] It says when the unclean jesus said when the unclean spirit's gone out of a man
[01:20:26] You walk through dry places seeking rest and findeth none. What is the rest refreshing?
[01:20:32] Kind of like what the book of enoch said
[01:20:34] suffering thirst suffering hunger they
[01:20:36] They they so desire to be in a body and I believe because they used to be in one
[01:20:41] A physical body because they are the disembodied spirits of the giants and I believe that's why they so desire to be in a body
[01:20:46] And that it's comforting to them in some way
[01:20:50] But when the unclean spirit's gone out of a man
[01:20:51] He walketh through dry places seeking rest and findeth none then he say it
[01:20:56] I will return into my house from whence I came out and when he has come he findeth it empty swept and garnish
[01:21:01] Let's deal with the swept and garnished here
[01:21:04] He finds it empty swept and garnish now
[01:21:08] The swept and garnish part means that it's been if you sweep a house, what are you doing?
[01:21:13] You're cleaning you're you're getting the dirt and the garbage and the debris out
[01:21:17] So you sweep it's so he's saying the house has been clean and garnish means being set in order
[01:21:24] beautified, you know
[01:21:26] It's like things that were in disarray meaning
[01:21:30] something good happened
[01:21:32] but the house is
[01:21:34] empty
[01:21:38] What is an empty house now? Remember when the devil say in my house
[01:21:41] He's talking about a human a human body a spirit soul and body a human being
[01:21:45] The devil considers a house a temple a place to live
[01:21:49] um
[01:21:51] And if the demons cast out and the house is swept out cleaned of unclean spirits
[01:21:58] and set in order
[01:21:59] Right and how about the house that remains empty?
[01:22:04] no, jesus
[01:22:06] No, holy spirit. You're not filled with the presence and the power of the lord through
[01:22:12] Being saved you have to be saved. So here's the thing
[01:22:17] um
[01:22:18] The bible tells us if we if we cast demons out of somebody whose house is empty. They don't have jesus
[01:22:24] They don't have his holy spirit filling them
[01:22:27] Yeah, the demon will go
[01:22:29] But the demon will return and if the house is empty, no jesus
[01:22:33] No, holy spirit no power no authority no way to fight and resist
[01:22:38] Then that spirit returns into that house and brings seven other spirits
[01:22:43] More wicked than himself and they enter and dwell there
[01:22:46] And this is why I say there's only two exceptions and I didn't make a slide for this
[01:22:51] But i'm going to tell you and this will be on your tit
[01:22:54] There are only two exceptions to cast demons out of an unbeliever
[01:22:58] And this is the only two i've ever done
[01:23:03] In 30 plus years of doing this
[01:23:07] Number one is if a person is so demon-possessed like the gathering demoniac that
[01:23:12] They're completely just out of it. They're mine. I mean i'm talking about they they can't communicate
[01:23:20] They're just gone. I have had a situation where i've gone ahead and prayed for them
[01:23:26] And bound the demons and cast out some demons
[01:23:29] Because they were getting violent. I mean
[01:23:31] I'll just tell you situation. I was on I was I got a phone call
[01:23:36] And there was a situation where this guy I guess he was in his 20s
[01:23:39] And he had been in the gang. So he'd been into drugs. He'd been into uh sexual immorality even some violent acts
[01:23:46] This guy just opened himself wide up and he was out of his mind. So he's at his parents house
[01:23:52] And he's terrorizing his parents, right?
[01:23:55] You know threatening them
[01:23:57] You know throwing stuff, you know, they're scared. He's about to get violent and physical with them
[01:24:03] And he's he's I mean he's losing it and he's walking around saying he's jesus christ
[01:24:08] And he'd even already thrown himself off a bridge and tried to commit suicide and been in the hospital for
[01:24:14] For weeks and and this is you know a while after that. I mean this guy was
[01:24:19] Lunatic right? I mean we're talking about demon possessed out of his mind talking out of his head. He's jesus christ
[01:24:27] so
[01:24:29] his sister
[01:24:30] Goes over to the house. She's a christian
[01:24:34] And starts, you know trying to calm him down, but he's just
[01:24:38] He's just wigging out right he's wigging out
[01:24:41] I mean the next step is to call the law
[01:24:43] I mean, that's about where you lock him up
[01:24:45] That's this is where it was headed because he was about to get violent with everybody
[01:24:49] So they called me on the phone
[01:24:52] And tell me what's going on. So immediately I start praying
[01:24:57] And binding the demons and I knew this young man and I had actually had visited him previously when he was in the mental hospital
[01:25:04] All right, they had released him from the mental hospital. So we're talking about gatorine demoniac here
[01:25:11] So I immediately started, you know, I hung up the phone right hung up the phone
[01:25:16] He didn't know they'd called me
[01:25:19] He's in the background, you know throwing stuff and yelling and screaming. I mean I can hear the chaos right in the background
[01:25:25] So immediately I just start binding the demons in him. I said I said lord
[01:25:29] I'm just going to start binding the demons and cast them out of him
[01:25:32] I said hopefully he'll come to his right mind now
[01:25:34] Let me tell you what happened. I start binding the demons in him violence murder death destruction all the stuff
[01:25:40] I mean he'd been in some gang violence initiation stuff and drugs
[01:25:44] So I just start binding the demons in him and commanding them to leave him to lose him to go from him
[01:25:49] they said
[01:25:51] like about
[01:25:53] You know about five minutes later after they hung up the phone
[01:25:56] That he's back there ranting and raving and he stops and he starts screaming out
[01:26:00] Dean's praying for me dean's praying for me dean's praying for me. He starts flipping out. There's no way he can know that
[01:26:08] Right, there's no way he knows that I'm I'm I am
[01:26:12] Several, you know i'm blocks away
[01:26:15] You know actually several miles probably about five to
[01:26:18] 10 miles away praying for him
[01:26:22] He calms down
[01:26:24] right
[01:26:25] Things chill out. They don't call the law, but eventually they talk him into look, you know
[01:26:30] Because the parents were just like he needs to go back. He needs some
[01:26:35] Psychological help and drug rehab and so they ended up sending him down to a drug rehab
[01:26:41] In south alabama, but he went peacefully in the car rode down there with him checked in everything's peaceful now
[01:26:49] Did he pray and get saved immediately? No
[01:26:52] But let me tell you all I can tell you is
[01:26:56] Is that young man got out of the gangs?
[01:26:59] got out of drugs
[01:27:03] Went to school
[01:27:05] Got a good job got married had kids
[01:27:09] and his leading
[01:27:11] You know started leading a normal like in his right mind
[01:27:15] um
[01:27:17] Now his parents were christians sisters christian
[01:27:21] And you know, of course
[01:27:23] I lost track of him. I moved away. So I you know, I mean, I don't know what i'm saying
[01:27:26] I don't know what transpired in his life after that
[01:27:29] but I know that he was in a place where
[01:27:32] I knew he wasn't saved but he was in such a bad place that you had nothing to lose by going ahead and
[01:27:39] um
[01:27:40] testing demons out of him
[01:27:42] and
[01:27:44] You know it ended up turning out pretty good for him, right?
[01:27:48] and um
[01:27:51] But that's that situation those type of situations the only time I would
[01:27:55] Say, you know if it's that bad and of course you have nothing to lose and you got to try to
[01:28:01] Intervene to make a situation better
[01:28:03] It's best to try so that that person might even come back into their right mind so that they can even hear the gospel and and
[01:28:10] And have a chance to be saved. Okay
[01:28:13] But that's going to be rare that you see that kind of situation
[01:28:17] the other situation you could say unsaved but
[01:28:22] Is small children who are still under the authority of their parents and their but their parents are christians
[01:28:29] And they give you the permission to pray and minister their kids and like I said i've done that too
[01:28:34] Like uh, I just to give you the testimony years ago
[01:28:39] there was a
[01:28:40] family
[01:28:42] Well, it was a man and a woman and they couldn't have children and so they were in the air force and um,
[01:28:48] They adopted a little boy from the philippines and they adopted him. I think when he was like three or four
[01:28:55] And they didn't know anything about his parents. There was no knowledge of his parents
[01:29:00] and
[01:29:01] When he was five he started and they had moved
[01:29:05] They were in the philippines and they moved back to the states
[01:29:08] And they were in montgomery at stationed at maxwell air force base. And that's when I was in montgomery in those early years and um
[01:29:17] He's just started this this five-year-old boy. They told me started and these two these two parents
[01:29:22] They were godly christian holy spirit filled people. They were serious about the lord
[01:29:26] But again, they've been in the denomination assemblies of god that taught them christian can't have a demon. So
[01:29:33] You know, what is this? But this little boy starts some just manifesting some lewd
[01:29:40] lustful sexual
[01:29:42] Spirit started working through saying stuff and and manifesting stuff and doing stuff that really
[01:29:48] As a five-year-old, he shouldn't even know about I mean he just was just
[01:29:53] You know, and it was obvious that he just inherited these
[01:29:58] sexual immorality demons spirit of hortums and spirits of perversion and lust and
[01:30:05] Even homosexuality and I mean just perverse things he would say this kid was saying
[01:30:10] Perverse things right and his face which his face would go from looking like a little kid to looking like an adult
[01:30:18] Um, it was weird
[01:30:20] And so, you know finally his parents heard about me teaching on deliverance and asked me if i'd come and pray for him
[01:30:26] And so they gave me permission to administer this little kid
[01:30:30] And I sat down in a very calm and quiet and gentle manner
[01:30:35] Just prayed over him and bow broke the generational curses and sins of his parents and his grandparents and his great grandparents and any
[01:30:42] You know false religion native religion many curses
[01:30:45] I just kind of gently I broke those in jesus name bound demons that came in through the generational curse bound the demons of sexual
[01:30:51] sin immorality
[01:30:53] illegitimacy
[01:30:54] Bound those demons that came in perversion hortums lust adultery fornication
[01:30:59] Just went down the list of all the demons that could come in through those sins
[01:31:04] Bound them and cast them out of this kid very quietly very calmly
[01:31:07] He sat by me on the couch and his parents were sitting right there
[01:31:11] and uh
[01:31:12] He sat there very peaceful the whole time. No screaming. No
[01:31:16] No pea soup coming out of his mouth. No head twisting around or anything like that
[01:31:21] um
[01:31:22] And when we got through praying he and he loved me he the kid loved me
[01:31:26] And uh, he uh, he jumped up when we said can I go play now? Yeah, go ahead
[01:31:31] You know
[01:31:32] But after that his parents said he never did any of that again
[01:31:36] ever
[01:31:38] Now we could say that kid was not saved and since he didn't he didn't come to know jesus as his lord savior
[01:31:43] He wasn't born again yet. He wasn't even old enough to you know, fully understand
[01:31:47] I mean some some do some don't but what i'm saying is he was still he's still under the age of accountability
[01:31:53] And his parents have authority over him spiritually and they gave me permission
[01:31:57] So those are the two and only two
[01:32:00] That I would cast demons out of an unsaved person
[01:32:03] if it's just to a point of just
[01:32:07] They need help to the point that they may not ever even hear the gospel or accept it. They're completely whacked out of their minds
[01:32:15] Then and little children if the parents are saved and
[01:32:19] Give permission, okay
[01:32:22] Let's keep going here
[01:32:23] Very important now
[01:32:25] We're going to show this remember the demon said i'll return to my house
[01:32:27] So this is kind of an illustration that I had a number of years ago
[01:32:31] This first one here is the woman who had the spirit of infirmity. She just had one demon
[01:32:35] Remember we have the bible says first thessalonians 5 23. We have a spirit of soul and a body
[01:32:40] Each of these aspects has different parts
[01:32:43] Spirit has different parts. The soul has different parts. The body has different parts
[01:32:47] This woman had a spirit of infirmity luke 13. She had one demon, but it was causing serious problems in her physical body
[01:32:56] Jesus cast out one spirit
[01:32:58] And she was healed. So this is an illustration of that then we have
[01:33:04] Mary Magdalene, here's the house
[01:33:07] Obviously, she'd opened the doorway to a few more
[01:33:10] demons seven of them
[01:33:13] Now it's probably through sexual immorality or that maybe there could have been some idolatry or something that happened in her life or some generational things
[01:33:21] Or all of the above but it was just seven demons seven strongholds
[01:33:24] She wasn't totally possessed the house wasn't totally full just a few rooms here and there
[01:33:29] And and this is what i'm illustrating a christian. We are the house
[01:33:33] We're a temple. Jesus said we're temple of the holy spirit, but we have different rooms different sections
[01:33:39] And just because we have a demonic stronghold in one room
[01:33:43] like this one
[01:33:45] or
[01:33:47] A couple more rooms here and this one doesn't mean that we are this
[01:33:54] All right
[01:33:54] It doesn't mean we're the gathering demoniac filled with them in every place even the attic, right?
[01:34:02] you can get like this keep sinning and rebelling and
[01:34:05] Playing with stuff. You shouldn't you can get anybody can get to this point christian or non-christian
[01:34:11] But that's the gathering demoniac right there filled with
[01:34:14] Really?
[01:34:15] He had at least 2000
[01:34:18] And let's look at this
[01:34:20] Again, there are people teach that christian can't have a demon
[01:34:24] Was the christian can't have a demon or can't give place or authority or a foothold to the devil in their lives spirit soul or body
[01:34:32] why would
[01:34:34] The apostle paul write this by inspiration. The holy spirit of egyptians 4 27 neither give place to the devil
[01:34:39] Don't give place to the devil
[01:34:43] If it can't happen, why would you say don't do it?
[01:34:46] Makes no sense. So obviously it can happen
[01:34:49] So paul is saying don't give place to the devil. You can give place through ignorance through sin willful rebellion
[01:34:56] Again, you can open a door you can give place
[01:34:59] Peter says to christians here
[01:35:02] Be sober be vigilant because your adversary the devil is a roaring lion walking about seeking whom he may devour
[01:35:08] Why does it say seeking whom he may devour means can't devour everybody
[01:35:13] But he says to christians you need to be where?
[01:35:17] Because you can't open a door. He's looking for a way in he's looking for you to do something
[01:35:22] Say something
[01:35:24] commit a sin
[01:35:26] Do something through ignorance. He don't care
[01:35:29] You open a door
[01:35:30] He will give place to the devil. He will take it every time
[01:35:34] He's seeking and looking for a place in you
[01:35:39] This is uh, one of the verses that deals with this specifically
[01:35:43] Ecclesiastes 10 8
[01:35:45] I love this passage here. What does it say? He says here?
[01:35:49] Ecclesiastes 10 8 he that dig at the pit shall fall into it
[01:35:52] and who so
[01:35:54] break at the hedge
[01:35:56] A serpent shall bite him
[01:35:59] who so
[01:36:00] break at the hedge
[01:36:02] Kevin who is who so is that a
[01:36:05] He's not hispanic. He's not latin
[01:36:08] It's not it's not jose
[01:36:11] It's who so
[01:36:13] who so ever
[01:36:14] Now if the bible says who so ever
[01:36:18] Can we assume that that means?
[01:36:20] Who so ever?
[01:36:23] Who so anybody and i'm going to add to it
[01:36:27] Simple definition of that that means anybody saved or
[01:36:31] unsaved
[01:36:32] born again or unbeliever
[01:36:34] If you dig the pit of what sin rebellion disobedience
[01:36:40] You break the hedge meaning you are a christian and you break the hedge
[01:36:44] That god's placed the the protective hedge around you break that
[01:36:50] Then guess what?
[01:36:51] A serpent will bite you now if a serpent bites you you get you see the little picture
[01:36:55] I got the little little snake there biting the person
[01:36:57] And i've actually been bitten by a snake before water moccasin got me on the foot many many years ago
[01:37:03] All right, then we got one thing because one thing went up beside my foot and the other one went in
[01:37:08] But because I was about to step on him and he struck from underneath
[01:37:14] But when a serpent is especially a poisonous one like that when they bite you
[01:37:18] Where do their fangs go?
[01:37:20] In you
[01:37:22] And what do they do? They leave
[01:37:25] Some poison and they leave something in you to harm you to bring about either pain destruction or death
[01:37:33] That's what this is painting the picture of here
[01:37:36] A serpent will bite you if you break the hedge god's place a hedge around his people
[01:37:42] But if you break it you open a doorway you give place
[01:37:46] even as a christian
[01:37:47] a serpent
[01:37:49] Which is a symbol of demons and devils?
[01:37:53] Will bite you they will latch on to you and sink into you and put something in you
[01:37:58] All right
[01:37:59] And the only way to get rid of it. It must be bound in jesus name and cast out in jesus name
[01:38:05] By name or by way it came in
[01:38:08] All right
[01:38:10] Paul talked about here first corinthians chapter 10 about having fellowship with devils
[01:38:15] To christians he warned christians
[01:38:18] Don't have fellowship
[01:38:20] With devils now, let me read this this was written to christians the corinthians
[01:38:26] What say I then that the idol is anything or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is anything
[01:38:31] But I say that the things which the gentile sacrifice they sacrifice to devils or demons and not to god
[01:38:38] I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils
[01:38:43] Now the word fellowship here
[01:38:46] Is koinonia, which is the same word used
[01:38:50] for christians having fellowship
[01:38:54] with the holy spirit
[01:38:56] Now when you're a christian you're born again
[01:38:59] And then baptized in the holy spirit as well, but even when you're just born again
[01:39:03] What happens the holy spirit comes inside of you?
[01:39:08] In your spirit in your soul in your body the holy spirit comes in you and you have koinonia
[01:39:14] Fellowship partnership you're a partaker you have intimate
[01:39:19] connection
[01:39:21] With the holy spirit and i'm talking about you you become one with him. It's spiritual
[01:39:26] And he's saying here if he was telling them if they threw the sin of idolatry
[01:39:33] If they committed the sin of idolatry
[01:39:35] participating in anything
[01:39:38] That has to do with the false religion buddhism hinduism
[01:39:41] you know going to
[01:39:43] statues of bale or
[01:39:46] Ashtoreth or ishtar or whatever they submit to these things they bow to these they worship these things so they
[01:39:52] They participate in the practices of these things. He's saying you're having fellowship partnership
[01:39:59] You're opening the door to demons just like you have the holy spirit coming you these evil spirits will come in
[01:40:05] I've seen this happen. I've cast demons out of people
[01:40:08] who were roman catholic who prayed to mary and prayed to statues and pictures and icons of mary and
[01:40:16] uh prayed to
[01:40:17] To dead saints and statues of saints and statues of popes and they're committing the sin of idolatry and when I bound the demons
[01:40:24] Of idolatry that came in. Whoo. We i've had some pretty dramatic
[01:40:29] Uh manifestations happened casting out the demons that came in to christians
[01:40:35] through
[01:40:37] Idolatry the sin of idolatry. That's the place. That's the doorway. That's where they give place to the devil and the demons came in
[01:40:44] um
[01:40:45] Like I said, we're going to talk more about the doorways
[01:40:48] Now let's talk about this the the examples we have the bible talks about that the old testament is types and shadows
[01:40:56] Of spiritual truths now in new covenant new testament
[01:41:01] True, so we look at the tabernacle in the wilderness the one that moses
[01:41:06] Made after the pattern of the one he saw that was in heaven
[01:41:10] And uh, of course we had the outer court here with this fence around it you had the outer court
[01:41:17] And then you had the brazen altar that you came to first
[01:41:20] You see that the little man's the high priest standing there
[01:41:23] The brazen altars where they sacrificed the animals the blood shed the blood of the animal
[01:41:28] And then offered it as a burn offering
[01:41:30] The lover the brazen lover was full of
[01:41:33] Water there was a cleansing of water that took place before
[01:41:37] They could enter into the first veil where the holy of holies was and where there was
[01:41:41] Where where ministry began where service to the lord began and so before the priest could go in to
[01:41:50] The tabernacle to the holy place and then of course the high priest even further to the holy of holies
[01:41:57] They had to go through two cleansings number one the brazen altar was blood
[01:42:02] And number two the lava was water. It was a two cleansings. It was showing something though two cleansings
[01:42:09] What are the two cleansings for the christian now that resemble this well?
[01:42:15] It's very simple
[01:42:17] Here's the scriptures. Let's go to first john one and second corinthian seven
[01:42:22] and you see
[01:42:23] the same two cleansings
[01:42:26] one has to do with
[01:42:29] The blood to wash away sin
[01:42:31] the other has to do
[01:42:33] With using the power of the word and speaking
[01:42:38] And really what I believe is binding and rebuking and casting out demons to cleanse ourselves
[01:42:44] So let's look at this first john one seven through nine, but if we walk in the light
[01:42:48] As he jesus is in the light. We have fellowship one with another
[01:42:52] And the blood of jesus christ his son cleanses us from all sin
[01:42:57] If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us
[01:43:02] If we confess our sins
[01:43:05] He is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness
[01:43:10] If we confess our sins
[01:43:13] He is faithful to cleanse us of our sins who cleanses us?
[01:43:17] Jesus right of what sin let me say this and i've said it many times over the years
[01:43:23] Sin is not an a demon are not the same thing
[01:43:28] Salvation are when we confess our sins and our sins are forgiven
[01:43:34] That's sin. That's the first cleaning. That's the brazen altar. That's where the blood sacrifices. That's what this is talking about when we confess our sins
[01:43:42] Jesus blood is what cleanses us from sin
[01:43:47] now
[01:43:48] second corinthian seven one
[01:43:50] He's speaking to christians who are already saved already born again through faith in jesus christ
[01:43:56] Who have already been washed in the blood their sins have been forgiven
[01:44:01] And he tells them here in second corinthian seven one two christians and he even even the language here lets you know
[01:44:08] He's talking christians. He says having therefore these promises dearly beloved
[01:44:14] Let us
[01:44:16] Now the apostle says us
[01:44:20] Meaning he's talking about he's including himself christians. Let us christians
[01:44:25] Having therefore these promises dearly beloved let us
[01:44:29] cleanse ourselves
[01:44:31] From all filthiness of the flesh and spirit perfecting holiness
[01:44:36] In the fear of god now, wait a minute. I thought jesus cleansed us from sin. What does this we do?
[01:44:44] you see
[01:44:46] I believe the filthiness of
[01:44:49] Flesh and spirit he's talking about notice there. He says in second corinthian seven one small s
[01:44:55] Filthiness of flesh. What is it? What's one of the definitions of?
[01:45:00] Demon spirits one of the things they're called unclean spirit
[01:45:04] So he says here
[01:45:06] Let us cleanse ourselves. So here's what happens
[01:45:10] We get saved through confessing our sins
[01:45:13] And asking jesus to forgive us and cleanse us of our sins
[01:45:16] And he washes the sin away
[01:45:19] But after that to be delivered from the demons the unclean spirits
[01:45:25] the uncleanness of
[01:45:26] Flesh and spirit these things that linger I call them the squatters
[01:45:31] That try to remain where they shouldn't
[01:45:34] We have to it's our job to cleanse ourselves where jesus said in my name you will cast out demon
[01:45:40] You bind the strong man and spoil his house
[01:45:43] You resist the devil he'll flee from you
[01:45:46] You have to cleanse yourself of the unclean spirits or get somebody to help you do it, but it has to be done
[01:45:53] together, all right
[01:45:55] So there's two the picture of the two cleansings and I tell people all the time
[01:45:58] Just like I take this piece of paper right here. Let me show you my my illustration that i've done
[01:46:04] Many many many many times. All right
[01:46:07] It's like this
[01:46:09] You have these two pieces of paper. I just tore a piece of paper in half. I got two pieces of paper
[01:46:15] This is sin. This one's a demon. We'll lay the demon right here for a minute
[01:46:19] All right, when you sin when you give place you do so by opening the doorway
[01:46:24] Say you're a christian
[01:46:26] You slip up you give into temptation you go and have sexual immorality
[01:46:31] You're not married fornication or you're married you commit adultery. Here's what happened
[01:46:35] Doorways open into your heart your spirit your soul your body. It's open into you
[01:46:41] The sin comes in
[01:46:43] The sin let's say we'll just say the sin of adultery comes in sin of fornication sexual sin comes in
[01:46:49] What most people don't realize is what comes right behind that sexual sin is the spirit of hortom spirits of hortom's lust
[01:46:56] adultery
[01:46:58] perversion demon spirits of lust
[01:47:00] Even spirits come from that other person
[01:47:03] Transferred to you because two become one
[01:47:07] so
[01:47:08] We walk around like this. We got sin and we got the the unclean spirit
[01:47:13] So the two cleansings of this so we come to jesus whether we come to jesus to be saved for the first time and
[01:47:19] Get our sins washed away or as a christian. We we failed in the sin
[01:47:22] I think I use the example of a christian, but a christian comes and says lord, you know what I sin
[01:47:27] uh
[01:47:28] I confess my sin of adultery fornication to you
[01:47:32] Please forgive me and cleanse me. I repent. I turn from it. I'm not going to keep doing it
[01:47:37] Lord, forgive me wash my sin away by your precious blood
[01:47:40] And so the sin is washed away. He cleanses us of the sin. The sin is washed away
[01:47:46] But here's what happens. What's what's left?
[01:47:49] The demons are still there and the doorway is still open
[01:47:54] And this is way
[01:47:55] 99 percent of christians walk or they're trying to walk out the christian line
[01:48:00] doors wide open
[01:48:02] gaps broken hedge
[01:48:05] Demons strongholds still in there. Oh, but i'm saved. Yeah, you're saying your sins are forgiven. They're washed away
[01:48:12] But you're tormented you're vexed you're pushing you wonder why you never get victory over certain things
[01:48:19] Now this is why christians still struggle struggle struggle struggle like and i'm not talking about being tempted
[01:48:24] I'm talking about where people say I cannot stop sexual immorality as a christian
[01:48:31] If you can't stop
[01:48:32] There's a stronghold. There's a demonic stronghold. There's a problem
[01:48:37] Deliverance is this deliverance says you know what lord, I know you forgave me of my sin
[01:48:44] But I ask you to forgive, you know
[01:48:46] I ask you to forgive me and you forgave me and the blood your blood wash my sin away
[01:48:49] But lord right now in jesus name. I must cleanse myself
[01:48:53] Of the filthiness of flesh and spirit this unclean spirits that came in through my sexual sin
[01:48:57] So I bind the demons came in through my sexual sin of adultery or fornication
[01:49:02] I bind the demon spirit the strong man of hoardums lust perversion the perverse spirits
[01:49:07] I bind these demons of adultery and fornication. I bind you in jesus name
[01:49:11] I break your power in jesus now command you loose me and go from me in jesus name
[01:49:16] You cast them out
[01:49:19] And you say lord, please close the doorway that I open
[01:49:23] And build the hedge back and fix the heads there
[01:49:27] That's the two cleansings
[01:49:28] We have the example in the tabernacle the old testament the temple
[01:49:34] Two cleansings before you could go into the tabernacle before it was you were really ready
[01:49:40] to minister
[01:49:41] and then
[01:49:43] You have them clearly spelled out in the new testament
[01:49:47] But again churches haven't taught them
[01:49:52] Which is a shame because it's all here
[01:49:55] And now here's some things to to understand there's some more illustrations here three things to understand
[01:50:00] Number one the things that happened under them in the old testament are examples under us in the new testament
[01:50:05] I said that a minute ago number two
[01:50:07] Many things that actually happened in the old testament are types and shadows and allegories of new testament truths like ie the first path over
[01:50:15] uh was them
[01:50:17] You know leaving the world by the blood of the lamb
[01:50:20] The new testament is us
[01:50:22] You know leaving the world through the blood of jesus and that's what number three said the lord jesus was ministering
[01:50:28] Under the old testament as he was establishing the new
[01:50:31] So when jesus ministered to israelites he was ministering to blood covenant children of god
[01:50:36] I want everybody to get these three things are very important
[01:50:40] To get a hold up
[01:50:42] especially as we're dealing with
[01:50:44] deliverance
[01:50:46] casting demons out of people
[01:50:49] primarily christian
[01:50:51] All right
[01:50:53] Let's get this right here. We'll try to get through this real quick
[01:50:55] So let's look at some of these types and shadows real quick
[01:50:57] We're gonna this is this is where we're gonna we're gonna end up. I think this is the kind of the last section here
[01:51:02] Well first corinthians 10 1 through 6
[01:51:05] He says here more of a brethren
[01:51:08] I would not that you should be ignorant
[01:51:09] Now that all of our fathers were under the cloud and all passed through the sea and were all baptized into moses in the cloud
[01:51:15] and in the sea
[01:51:16] And did all eat the same spiritual meat and to drink the same spiritual drink for the drink of that spiritual rock that followed them
[01:51:22] And that rock was christ
[01:51:24] But with many of them god was not well pleased for they were overthrown in the wilderness now these things were our
[01:51:30] Examples to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted. So paul saying here
[01:51:37] Look, I want you to understand the similarities
[01:51:39] Of the things that happened to them in the old covenant
[01:51:42] They were drinking the same spiritual meat. We're drinking the same spiritual drink
[01:51:46] It's just now we're under a new covenant, but those those things
[01:51:51] those lessons
[01:51:53] We learned from the old covenant. They are examples to us examples
[01:51:58] So let's look
[01:51:59] He goes on to say neither be idolaters as were some of them
[01:52:03] As it is written that people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play neither
[01:52:06] Let us commit fornication. Let us notice the apostle includes himself. He's talking to christians. Don't let christian
[01:52:11] Commit fornication as some of them committed and fell in one day three and twenty thousand
[01:52:18] Neither let us tempt christ as some of them also tempted and were destroyed of serpents. What destroyed them?
[01:52:24] Serpents, what's a serpent a type and shadow of a symbol of demon spirits?
[01:52:30] Neither murmury is some of them also murmured and were destroyed of the destroyer
[01:52:34] now all these things happened unto them for examples and they are written for
[01:52:40] Admonition upon whom the ends of the world are come. Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take he lest he fall
[01:52:45] So all these things are examples
[01:52:47] All right
[01:52:49] Well, here's the word example the greek word used here a type ie a person a thing prefiguring a future
[01:52:57] um a stamp a scar a shape
[01:52:59] A style or resemblance a type a model
[01:53:04] Again a pattern a form
[01:53:07] So you see he was saying those things that happen to them
[01:53:10] So let's look at this. I mentioned this just a second ago, but passover
[01:53:14] Exodus 12 12 through 13 the first passover for I will pass through the land of Egypt this night
[01:53:19] And will smite all the first born in the land of Egypt both man and beast and against all the gods of Egypt
[01:53:24] I will execute judgment. I am the lord
[01:53:27] And the blood shall be for you a token upon the houses where you are
[01:53:31] And when I see the blood I will pass over you
[01:53:34] And the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you when I smite the land
[01:53:38] So of course they were taken out of Egypt after that after they applied the blood of the lamb
[01:53:43] They were taken out of Egypt in the bible since this is a type and shadow of our salvation as we repent
[01:53:48] Come out of the world the course of this world according living according to the principle power the air of this world the god of this world
[01:53:54] satan
[01:53:55] We come out of that world through faith asking the blood of jesus to be applied to us and we apply that to our
[01:54:02] Hearts and spirits to wash our sins away
[01:54:05] And to make us alive through quickness and make us alive in him
[01:54:09] And we escape this spirit of death
[01:54:12] That is upon us from the sins of the world and living
[01:54:16] dead to christ dead to god
[01:54:18] and so
[01:54:20] Again, there's the blood of the lamb
[01:54:22] So that's that old testament. That's a real thing that happened, but it's a type and shadow now
[01:54:27] In the new covenant of what jesus did for us on the cross
[01:54:30] And salvation through faith in his blood shed on the cross for our sins
[01:54:37] now
[01:54:38] First Corinthians 10 1 and 2 that we read a minute ago also gives us the type and shadow of the two baptisms that we experience
[01:54:45] In the new covenant that we should experience
[01:54:47] All right
[01:54:48] He says mover brother would not have you ignorant
[01:54:51] That all our fathers were under the cloud and all passed through the sea and were by all baptized unto moses in the cloud
[01:54:57] And in the sea
[01:54:59] So what he's saying there is that the israelites going through the red sea passing through the waters
[01:55:06] Was a type of water baptism
[01:55:09] And then the cloud of god's presence continued to follow them
[01:55:13] That from that point on through the wilderness in their time in the wilderness
[01:55:17] So the cloud of god's presence represents the holy spirit
[01:55:20] Baptism and that's what he's talking about in the cloud
[01:55:24] Is the is the presence the manifest presence of the holy spirit?
[01:55:29] They were baptized in the water
[01:55:32] And in the cloud
[01:55:35] And that's the two baptisms. We should be baptized in water once we become christians. We're born again
[01:55:40] And we're born of water
[01:55:42] Not that baptism saves us because I believe the water we're born of is what flowed out of jesus
[01:55:47] Side blood and water flowed but water baptism we do that
[01:55:51] Uh as a public testimony of our faith
[01:55:54] But then after that we should also be baptized in the cloud
[01:55:58] Um the presence of the holy spirit the baptism the holy spirit just like acts two those were 120 christians who were already
[01:56:06] baptized in water they were already
[01:56:09] Saved their sins had already been forgiven and washed away by the blood of jesus
[01:56:13] But jesus tells them go wait until you're baptized in the holy spirit
[01:56:18] By the cloud of god's presence to manifest so you get the shadows right, but we're not done
[01:56:25] All right, we're looking at these old testament shadows
[01:56:29] And i've said this but we're going to cover it again today
[01:56:33] That remember they came out of egypt by the blood of the lamb. That was a type of
[01:56:37] Salvation of us coming out of the world and out of sin and our old life
[01:56:42] through the blood of jesus
[01:56:44] We just read they were baptized through the sea and through the clouds so the baptism of water and the baptism of the holy spirit
[01:56:51] But then they wandered in the wilderness
[01:56:54] For a number of years, but the the goal god was trying to get them to the promised land now for years. I heard songs
[01:57:01] The old hymns a lot of the old hymns a lot of the songs that the promised land is heaven
[01:57:05] That's when we get we cross the jordan river and we get to heaven
[01:57:11] But is that the promised land of type or shadow or example
[01:57:16] pattern
[01:57:17] Of when we die and go to heaven or when jesus comes and takes a step. No
[01:57:21] Why because there was
[01:57:24] There was a problem in the promised land that they had to deal with
[01:57:27] Will there be problems in heaven that we need to deal with kevin?
[01:57:31] No
[01:57:32] What were the problems? Well, there were giants in the land. Let's read this numbers 13
[01:57:37] 27 through 28 32 through 33. Here's what it says
[01:57:42] They sent the spies in the land
[01:57:44] It says and they told him and said we came unto the land whether thou sent us
[01:57:48] And surely it floweth with milk and honey
[01:57:50] And this is the fruit of it nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land
[01:57:54] And the cities are walled and very great and moreover. We saw the children of a neck there
[01:57:59] And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of israel saying the land
[01:58:04] Through which we have gone to search it is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof
[01:58:09] And all the people that we saw in it are men of great stature
[01:58:13] And we saw the giants the sons of a neck which come of the giants and we were in our own side as grasshoppers
[01:58:19] And so we were in their side
[01:58:22] so they said in the in the
[01:58:24] In the land that they were possessed in the promised land there were the giants the giants are the half breeds of the fallen
[01:58:30] angels the sons of god and human women
[01:58:33] so they're part
[01:58:35] human and part
[01:58:37] fallen angelic beings
[01:58:40] And they had so they were strong men with strongholds in the promised land
[01:58:46] And the children of israel their job was going to be what to drive out the canyons
[01:58:52] Cast them out drive them out. So what is this really a picture of a shadow of a type a pattern of
[01:59:00] deliverance
[01:59:01] Whose land was it god's land he'd given to the children. So it's his land and their land
[01:59:06] but that land
[01:59:08] the devil knew
[01:59:10] That god was going to give them that land. So he moved his
[01:59:13] demonic hordes in there of giants
[01:59:16] Nephilim
[01:59:17] Rafi
[01:59:19] giants half breeds
[01:59:21] wicked evil
[01:59:23] fallen angel seed
[01:59:26] Says israel failed to drive out the canyons. Let's look at this
[01:59:30] Judges 128 and it came to pass when israel was strong
[01:59:33] That they put the canyons to tribute and did not utterly drive them out. They disobeyed the lord and let them stay
[01:59:39] Does that sound like most christians? They disobey the lord and let the demons stay they don't cleanse the house
[01:59:45] Of the evil spirits and unclean spirits that's in their land in their temple
[01:59:50] in their house
[01:59:52] And what happens he warned them judges two one through three and the angel of the lord came up from gilgal to bokem
[01:59:58] And said i made you to go up out of egypt. Oh salvation through the blood of the land
[02:00:04] I brought you unto the land which I swear unto your fathers and said I will never break my covenant with you
[02:00:10] And you shall make no league
[02:00:13] With the inhabitants of this land, but you shall throw down their altars, but you have not obeyed my voice
[02:00:19] Why have you done this?
[02:00:21] Wherefore I also said I will not drive them out from before you
[02:00:25] But they shall be as thorns in your sides and their god shall be a snare unto you
[02:00:31] so the moment you don't obey
[02:00:34] To cleanse the land
[02:00:37] Your promised land
[02:00:39] That should be your land of peace
[02:00:42] and blessing
[02:00:44] and rest
[02:00:47] But you have to fight first
[02:00:48] You're supposed to be a war first
[02:00:51] And that war so so this going into the promised land to drive out the
[02:00:56] Giants the strong men and their strongholds
[02:00:59] This is a picture a type of shadow
[02:01:03] Of deliverance that christians all christians I believe need to pursue
[02:01:08] In their lives
[02:01:10] I know we're going a little bit and the people the first argument that comes up when you say well christians can have demons
[02:01:14] The first thing you'll hear on wait a minute now light and dark can't be in the same place same time
[02:01:20] Y'all like that. I can go
[02:01:22] Super country, honey. I want to
[02:01:29] Second Corinthians 6 13 through 18 light and darkness here it is the argument here, right?
[02:01:36] This uh, he says now this is this is the one they always use is now
[02:01:40] For recompense and the same I speak is unto my children
[02:01:43] Be also enlarged be not unequally yoked together with unbelievers for what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness
[02:01:49] What communion hath light with darkness?
[02:01:50] What concord is christ with liar or what part has he that believeth with an infidel?
[02:01:55] And what agreement hath the temple of god with idols for you're the temple of living god
[02:01:59] As god has said I will dwell in them and walk in them
[02:02:01] I will be their god and they shall be my people wherefore
[02:02:04] Because I want to be your god and be your people and live and walk and dwell and you come out from among them
[02:02:09] Be separate sayeth the lord touch not the unclean thing
[02:02:13] And I will receive you and you will and will be a father unto you and you should be my sons and daughters
[02:02:17] Sayeth the lord almighty now people take this and they go see light and darkness
[02:02:21] What communion has light and darkness demons can't dwell in the same place as the holy spirit and all that yet?
[02:02:26] But none of that says in that in fact
[02:02:29] using this passage
[02:02:31] To try to make that argument
[02:02:33] Is ridiculous because number one he's talking about
[02:02:36] being yoked with unbelievers
[02:02:39] So that has nothing to do with demons
[02:02:42] But then he says here the warning he's just saying
[02:02:46] You shouldn't be mixing the two
[02:02:49] That's the warning here. You don't try to mix light and darkness. There's no agreement between them
[02:02:54] So if he's warning them and telling them to come out from among them and be separate
[02:02:59] They were doing what he was telling them not to do
[02:03:04] So they were already doing it. So this verse doesn't even apply
[02:03:07] but let's address
[02:03:09] this stupid
[02:03:11] Argument the argument light and darkness can't dwell in the same place at the same time
[02:03:15] First argument here is that just destroys that is
[02:03:18] As god is omnipresent meaning he's everywhere all the time
[02:03:23] His presence there's nowhere that you know
[02:03:26] Everywhere, I mean david said psalm 139 whether shall I go from thy spirit or whether shall I flee from my presence if I ascend up
[02:03:31] Into heaven thou art there if I make my bed in hell behold thou art there
[02:03:35] If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea
[02:03:38] Even there thy hand shall lead me
[02:03:41] And so he says there's nowhere I can go to escape
[02:03:44] That I can escape you so if we understand that aspect of the nature of god
[02:03:48] According to satan couldn't dwell anywhere
[02:03:51] right
[02:03:52] And then he says you see in job one and two that satan came into heaven to the very throne of god
[02:03:57] In the presence of god to petition for job
[02:04:00] So I think there's a little bit of god's presence at the throne, right?
[02:04:04] anyway
[02:04:05] What i'm saying is the bible clearly states
[02:04:09] That satan was at the throne of god right in front of god talking to him
[02:04:13] So can a christian is the light and darkness issue?
[02:04:17] A valid argument. Absolutely not
[02:04:20] God will permit
[02:04:21] Like he permitted satan to come before his throne
[02:04:24] In heaven to petition for job. He allowed that
[02:04:28] He allows satan to exist if he didn't want satan. I mean god's presence is everywhere. He could not allow satan to exist
[02:04:36] But yet he allows him to exist even in his presence. Remember paul said the lord's everywhere. He said in him
[02:04:44] In him in him we live and move and have our being I mean everywhere
[02:04:48] The presence of god we can't escape him
[02:04:51] So that's not a valid argument
[02:04:53] And there's your verses and joe notice it says here now
[02:04:56] There was a day when the sons of god came to present themselves before the lord and satan
[02:05:00] Came also among them
[02:05:02] So they have this conversation and I love the the way it ends down here
[02:05:06] In verse 12, so satan went forth from the presence of the lord
[02:05:11] So satan was in the presence of the lord. He was sitting there with the lord only because the lord permits it for his purposes
[02:05:18] Okay
[02:05:20] satan at the throne of god just gave you a little picture and I got to put a little horns on a little angel there
[02:05:26] Now, you know what we're gonna stop here today. We could go into solomon's temple. We're gonna we'll pick back up here
[02:05:32] next week because we're gonna cover
[02:05:35] doorways and
[02:05:36] The children's bread and all that stuff, but I think we've gone long enough today
[02:05:41] Uh for this, so this is part one
[02:05:44] demons and deliverance
[02:05:46] part one spiritual warfare class number six
[02:05:49] um
[02:05:51] I'll have to figure out what your assignment's going to be. I don't know yet
[02:05:55] But uh, we'll figure that out. But anyway
[02:05:59] Let's pray and then we'll be dismissed father in heaven. We love you today
[02:06:03] We praise you I ask you lord to let these truths let this stuff sink down
[02:06:08] into each and every person
