The Unclean Spirits

There are demons called unclean spirits. We let them in when we lust. (In one dictionary, lust is defined as intense, unbridled desire). This includes lusting after having sex, but it also includes lusting after money or any greed for anything, including people’s approval and attention. This is a huge but subtle problem for us today as we live and work in a competitive environment both in church and at work. Aren’t you just tired of it? It’s so bad, that I feel bad, when I have to tell someone that I’m not busy. There is no need for us to be weighed down by this need to be approved of by anyone, even ourselves. It’s exhausting competing with ourselves and trying to best our last book or album or job project.

Unclean spirits that come in when we crave these things, often come in groups, sometimes piled up in us like pancakes, so command all of them to go. If you’ve been following this blog, you know the drill:

“Unclean spirits, in Jesus Name, I call you to attention. All of you.”

You may actually feel or sense a presence in the room and identify what area of the room the spirits are in. If you do, you can turn to that area and speak to them. Do not be afraid. This is not like some TV paranormal show. This is the real spiritual warfare, Jesus has equipped you to fight. Continue,

“Unclean spirits I bind you in the Name of Jesus, and I cast you out into the abyss.”

Dismiss them with the strength of your will. Believe it’s happening, don’t doubt. It’s very simple, it’s very clear, you don’t have to speak in tongues, you don’t have to yell, they understand that ‘Name of Jesus’ power. You don’t have to use these exact words of course and please don’t make them a ritual. This is just to get you started. If you feel more words are needed…

”By the blood of the Lamb you all are bound and cast out completely, immediately and permanently.”

Then it is good to bind any retaliation and revenge spirits Satan is sending up to replace those demons, for you have dealt a blow to his kingdom. (Check out Mary Baxter’s book about his kingdom - http://www.divinerevelations.info/Mary_K_Baxter_A_Divine_Revelation_of_Hell.htm FREE!)

Say, “I bind right now in the Name of Jesus any retaliation spirits on their way up now. I rebuke you in Jesus Name and cast you right back to the abyss”

The abyss is hell. Now, some of you may think this is too bold or that we should say something else. I follow what Jesus said, not to say your opinion isn’t right, I’m just sharing what is working for me. Jesus scared the demons and they would yell out “please don’t torture me” Mark 5:6-8. Sounds like the abyss to me. That word ‘abyss’ is actually used in Luke 8:31. So that’s why I’m bold to command them to go to the abyss.

Battle on soldiers!

Then, worship the Lord and praise Him for the power He has given you. Ask the Holy Spirit to fill up all the spaces left by those unclean spirits. If any demons try to return – they returned to Jesus over and over after his temptation in the wilderness – they will not find you swept clean and empty, with room for more of them. Keep yourself filled with the Holy Spirit and anointed by God. Keep your lamps full of oil as in Matthew 25 with the ten virgins.

Spirit of Jealousy

This bugger gets in when we do what is so easy and common for us to do – resent someone, something, some situation, some government or institution. We have to repent for feeling resentment. There are so many areas where this can enter in so repent of all areas and ask the Lord to forgive you and release you. Then forgive yourself and receive the forgiveness of the Lord.

A word of caution; it doesn’t matter if you feel the resentment is justified – this resentment is welcoming the spirit of jealousy. This is when you have to take a “big boy pill” or a “big girl pill” in the Lord and drop the resentment and let it go. Drop it like a hot potato because it is burning you! Resentment eats away. Resentment weighs you down. Resentment is tiring and you can’t grow from strength to strength as you’re meant to. In other words it’s a show stopper.

Call that demon of jealousy to attention. Call the strongman spirit of the jealousy demon to attention first. Rebuke him in Jesus name, bind him and command him to leave by the Blood of the Lamb. By the law of God it has to go because you’ve repented and asked forgiveness of the Lord and therefore it’s already been bound in heaven. So by right you can get rid of that demon and step into your freedom. Bind up the retaliation spirits and demons that are being sent to try and hurt you because you dare know your rights in heavenly places and have dealt Hell a blow.

If you need to, and the Holy Spirit is right there to guide you into all truth, check and make sure the demon is gone by calling it to attention again. If need be bind those left and cast them out (cast out means command them to go – I just realized some of you might not know that churchy term “cast out”).

Deaf and dumb spirit

In your daily battle along with the Lord, against the kingdom of darkness, it is essential for you to praise the Lord. Just like the last post ended with praise and receiving a fresh anointing, you need to stay in a position of praise. I’m always in a state of prayer or reading the Bible. Be in that lifestyle. I’m positive that if I stop being in this life of praise and prayer all day, I will fall back into fear and rebellion and all the things God has saved me from. I just won’t make it. Know you’re in battle and act like any soldier in battle and don’t put your weapons down –praise and the Word.

Next demon – deaf and dumb spirit. I call it this, but you can call it anything you want – it brings confusion to your mind and you’re not able to think clearly. It might be affecting you now. Even though I’m sure the Holy Spirit is being very clear through me as I type this, you are probably experiencing a lot of confusion. Is she teaching the right thing? Is this really necessary? When will I have time to research this for myself to be sure I’m not being led astray?

O.K. calm yourself down. After we cast this guy out, let’s see if you don’t feel a little better. Even though feelings are fickle and can’t be relied on. Know that there is more teaching about this. Refer to the Mark passage about the boy with the deaf and dumb spirit. The Holy Spirit says I should make these short blogs, so you will really read them and then you can go on to research more. He will help you.

Deaf and dumb spirit – it comes in when we rebel. So the Lord tells you to quit your job, or leave your church and you wait. Delay = disobedience. Satan’s happy. Here comes the deaf & dumb spirit to leap into your being and now you can’t even think straight. So the delay continues and you’re not doing what God told you to do. 5 years pass and you meet someone else who stepped out in faith and you tell your sad tale that “Yeah, I’ve felt God was telling me to quit my job, too.” Sad, sad, sad…and such a waste.

Think of some rebellion you've had against God. Now ask God to forgive you…of course if there are more and you know you ought to apologize to the Lord and repent, do that. Smile. Even laugh in this serious moment. Hey! It’s not that serious. It should be like brushing teeth. Casting out demons. You should have been doing it for the 50 years you’ve been a Christian already. What’s the point of having on the full armor of God, if you’re not doing battle? So ask forgiveness and receive it.

Now, let’s bring that guy down! Call that deaf and dumb spirit to attention.

“Deaf and dumb spirit, in Jesus Name, I call you to attention.”

Identify him. Wait a minute until you do. There’s no rush, you’re just beginning to learn this. When you identify, speak with boldness:

“Deaf and dumb spirit I bind you in the Name of Jesus and I cast you out into the abyss. Go on, get out! In Jesus Name.”

Be bold, believe and push it out of your space. If you need to, say that again. (I believe all written prayers should be embellished. So you can add to what I’m saying, anytime. The Holy Spirit is leading you.)

If you feel a need you can go on,

”By the blood of the Lamb you are bound and cast out completely, immediately and permanently.”

Then begin to praise the Lord. Glorify His Name and tell Him how wonderful He is, for He is surely worthy of praise. There is none beside Him and He is Love and He is Power and He makes all things possible. Praise the Father for Jesus, for all that His death made possible. Thank Him that we can do the impossible, more than we could ever hope or think because of the power of the Blood of the Lamb which was shed for us. That there is no way anyone can stand against us, for greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world.

Until next time. Please join in and comment and share!

Jesus and demons

Matthew 4:11, of course Jesus had to deal with Satan in the wilderness. He dealt with him. He gave him such a bad beat down that Satan left him and went away for awhile. Satan had to take a break. This is the first time we see Jesus & Satan in the Bible, but I believe the devil was there all the time. The killing of all the infants by Herod, Matt. 2:13-18, showed that Satan was at work. We see him at work all over the Old Testament. All we have to do is look with the Holy Spirit and He will show you, with rhema revelation.

Rhema is a Greek term that is often translated "word" in English versions of the New Testament. The Greek word logos is also translated "word" in a number of English translations. Many Charismatic teachers insist that there is a very special difference between these two types of "words." The logos kind of word is viewed as being the biblical "written word." But a rhema word is a special, modern revelation to someone. It may be in the form of a flash of insight into some spiritual matter that is not clearly covered in scripture. Or it may be an intuitive understanding that a particular scripture verse or passage has immediate application to a current circumstance, even though in context in the Bible it may have nothing at all to do with the topic of the circumstance. Such rhema words are sought after to give daily guidance to the life of the Christian.(Wikipedia)

In Jesus day, among the Jews, any sickness was considered evil. So every time he healed someone He came against evil and Satan. Often He would say spirit of whatever, get out. In Matthew after the Sermon on the Mount we see Jesus healing away or casting out spirits/demons:
• the leper
• the Centurion’s servant
• Peter’s mother-in-law
• He calmed the storm – was that demonic, that storm? Well, if something is in your way and it is a way the Lord has told you to go, as with the disciples (Mark 4:35 – And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.) and a ‘storm’ of life kicks up, I’d say that’s the devil. So, Jesus calmed that storm.
• He cured the man with madness (demons, lots of devils, demoniacs, host of Legion)
• His power healed the woman with the issue of blood, then Jairus’ daughter
• two blind men get to see
• a man gets healed of not being able to speak
• a man with a withered hand is healed
• Jesus solved an economic problem of lack in feeding the 5,000 men with their wives and children. So I’m guessing about 20,000, with five loaves of bread and two fish. Now, we can see that there is nowhere in the Bible where lack and poverty and hunger are blessings of the Lord, so Satan is in that and Jesus is here to heal that situation. Through us today He’s available to give us wisdom to do something about this and He will also use supernatural means.
• Chp.14:34-36 in Gennesaret, where everyone that even touched the hem of his garment got completely well.
• Jesus went on in Chp. 15:21 to heal the Canannite woman’s crazy daughter, and she wasn’t even eligible and knew it!

He went on healing through Galilee and here’s the great thing in v.31, at the end “and they glorified the God of Israel.” And that’s what we want. All this talk about demonology, who they are, what they are, what they do. We want everyone to be free and to glorify God. This praise of God just makes everyone’s life better. The more you praise the better you live.

INTRO

That bird in the last blog was a Swahili Sparrow. You know if the Lord God Almighty cares for a sparrow, He cares for you. Here are some more birds. This kinda teachin’ needs some pictures, ‘cos it might get a little heavy here sometimes.
It is important that you know that God loves you. I know, I know, you already know that. But I’ve found a lot of us don’t really. God is Love. Anywhere in the Bible where you think you see God is not portrayed as loving, know that Satan is at work. God loves you.

He would not curse you or condemn you. The devil is the only one who would want to portray Him that way. Instead God is the One to warn you about the dangers of sin, which leads to death, hell and condemnation and guilt.

Another thought that comes to mind are the number of Christians who go to church only for fear of God. They are afraid that if they don’t go to church, God will be angry with them.

I was fearful of this God too, until I heard Pastor Bern say, God is not mean and if you have that thought recognize where it comes from and rebuke it immediately. So, in fearing God, surely that’s the answer to why we fear life. Imagine being a living being (which you are if you’re reading this) and fearing life! And God is Life.

Jesus’ Great Commission in Mark was “Go into all the world and preach the gospel…healing the sick and casting out demons.” We know Jesus wants us to do this because He sent out the 12 in Luke 9 to do this exact same thing. Then in Luke 10, he sent out the 72 to do the same. Besides, He did it all through His 3 year ministry and pronounced on us that “greater things than these will you do”. So we are supposed to be casting out demons. Lest you fear this will make you someone who sees demons under every rock – there may be demons under every rock! Wouldn’t you prefer to overdo it, than have horrible spirits following you around? Hm?

Comprehensive Demonology

Now, this is God. My fifth blog and I thought four was quite enough, but the Lord has laid this on my heart to do. So many Christians do not want to deal with demons, but dealing with them is part of the Great Commission of Christ. I feel led to go at it. I feel as spunky as this little sister in the picture, and I'm going through with it. So there! Those who know how to pray, pray a hedge of protection around you and me. I am doing the same. Victory is already ours in Jesus Name!!!

First I’m going to pray: Lord, thank You for this day. Yom Kippur has passed and the day of atonement and we have laid ourselves out before You again and asked that You forgive our sins and cleanse us. Many of us feel a new day has begun and You will call many of us who never thought we could be much use to You, into service. Here we are Lord. Glad to be in the service, glad to be starting this during the Feast of Tabernacles and all that it means.

As I start this blog, Lord, I go forward boldly, knowing that you are on my side and that the Enemy is furious (as usual), but that I have the upperhand in You. Do not let us be disgraced or cast down. Cause us to lift up our heads and know that you are God and All-Powerful and All-Loving. Thank You for the words You will give me to say and the way You will move this ministry along. All to Your Glory, that I may decrease and You may increase, I pray in Jesus Name. In the name of Jesus and by the Blood of the Lamb I rebuke all strongman spirits sent to stop this teaching. I bind you and all your cohorts in the Name of Jesus and cast you into the abyss, by the blood of the Lamb. All spirits of fear, I bind you in the Name of Jesus and cast you out, completely, continually, and permanently, in the Name of Jesus.

And now Lord I ask that you pour out on us the oil of the Holy Spirit, that all places where these demons had residence will be filled by Your Power and there will be no room if their replacements ever try to come in. Fill us anew and afresh this morning dear Holy Spirit. Thank You again for this opportunity to be a ready writer for You. I take the courage You are giving me and go forward. Hallelujah.

The next thing, that is very important is that you know that God led me to be taught by Pastor Bern Zumpano and his website is www.walkinginpower.org and he has free downloads of teachings on many things and has a lot on Comprehensive Demonology. So check that out and as is most of his things, it’s FREE. Wait a minute, let me check again…yep, still FREE. Now, you know that is a man of God, ‘cos how does he eat? Oh, that’s right God provides – Jehovah Jireh.
