Joh 8:31-32 Then Jesus said to the Jews who believed on Him, If you continue in My Word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
So many Christians are in bondage to the things of this world, even creation itself. Revival breaks out when humility and submission to God’s word begins. Most of the churches flee from the discussion and application of God’s word when it comes to freedom in Christ. They are deceived by doctrines of demons about the scriptural precedent that was set forth by Christ, delegated to the disciples and was to be the inheritance of the Church in generations to come. Deliverance ministry is a catalyst to revival breaking out. Doubt and unbelief have replaced the power and authority of scripture. Jesus’s example has been replaced by man’s principles and methods. We have replaced God’s presence with professionalism and entertaining atmospheres.
The Church has been called forth to preach freedom to the captives through the gospel, the Good News. In fact, Jesus set forth the 12 to go out and exercise His authority over sickness, disease and demonic beings. Later He ordained the 70 to do so. Then, He sent His Holy Spirit to ordain ALL believers to trample upon scorpions and serpents. He demonstrated this in the Gospels and the early Church in Acts. He equipped them with weapons to storm the gates of Hades and it would NOT prevail.
Freedom is related to Truth. The more Truth we have, the more freedom we have. The Truth will empower us to live above the Law and the consequences of breaking it because we will minimize sin in our lives by loving the Truth! Yet, the Church is full of people who love the world and minimize the Truth. Therefore they are demonized. About 1/3 of Jesus’s time He cast out demons. In the Great Commission referred to in Mark 16:17, He says that a symptom of being a follower was that demons would be cast out. How many of our churches especially in America work in that ministry? Therefore are we really following, abiding in and loving the Truth?
Over 20 years ago, I started to watch the power of the Gospel and the Supernatural God behind it begin to release His kingdom in my life and those around me. My life was transformed from a nice religion, to a “Kingdom come, your will be done” type of faith! We are just His vessels, His messengers into this world. His Kingdom doesn’t come only in word but in power! This is why I travel thousands of miles each year revealing His Kingdom through His power in my life and ministry He has given me. It makes religious people uncomfortable, the legalistic gnawing in themselves and the lawless feeling condemned. But, all of these are symptoms of the torment and oppression of the devil and his cohorts.
Matthew 12:25-29 describes spiritual warfare and deliverance ministry. Jesus is demonstrating what His methods were to destroy evil and demonic strongholds. But, in verse 30 he interestingly states that if your not with Him, you’re against Him. If you’re not fulfilling this calling, are you really working for Him? Interesting challenge! He then adds that blasphemy against the Holy Spirit (in His working) will not be forgiven in verse 31. These verses are connected and therefore together in meaning. Maybe a warning to our generation’s church culture as much as it was to theirs back then!
Nice theology doesn’t effectively work any more. Neither does quaint sermons and emotional songs. Pamphlets and tracts are almost useless to this pagan and dark, witchcraft culture we live in. It’s time to preach, teach and release the power of our supernatural (and Supranatural) God spring forth off the pages of His Word, and flow through the heart into the world around us. It’s time to equip the Church, the people, to carry out the Great commission the same way Jesus did: In the power of the Holy Spirit. Basically, letting God be God as He releases HIs Kingdom through us, his vessels.
Deliverance (exorcism) , healing, miracles, signs and wonders are just some of the symptoms that follow those who truly believe. It’s time to place the Supernatural God back into the scripture we read. It’s time that we become bold, and let the King of kings, and Lord of lords out of the boxes we’ve placed Him in! He has equipped people to equip churches and people to once again walk in His precepts that will tear down the gates that are incarcerating people including many Christians.
I have personally watched thousands of people:
1. delivered from demonic possession, oppression and torment,
2. healed from physical, emotional and spiritual sickness and disease,
3. miraculously changed through signs and wonders within their finances, marriages, families, jobs, habits, addictions, etc.
4. recognize, be anointed and ordained in spiritual gifts of prophecy, discernment,
helps, evangelism, dreams, visions, etc.
God has released me to teach and train others to do so, especially for these last days we are living in. Luke 11:20 says that if demons are cast out then truly the Kingdom has come upon you. it’s a major sign of His Kingdom’s presence in our lives. It is a ‘perk’ of our Kingdom benefit package to show the world by which name and authority, King, we come in!
Yet, we equip pastors and teachers to know Hebrew, Greek, and a host of other educational tools, but starve them in the matters that really reach and empower people to grasp ahold of the Gospel, and be set free. Our pastors and teachers may also be in bondage and shackles of their past! A lot of good teachings about Jesus. But how many allow Jesus to reveal Himself and His Kingdom?
It’s time for us to prepare our churches to be the army of God that is offensive to the realm of darkness with its penetrating Light of Jesus Christ. God never intended for His army to be in retreat. Our weapons are good for the pulling down of (every) stronghold. Weapons to set the captives free. Weapons to bring life and life more abundant through the ministry of Jesus Christ. His army should walk in His might and power! But, do we?
A great example of deliverance in the Old testament Moses and Aaron. They brought the power of God’s Kingdom into the demonic realm and territory to destroy the works of all the thousands of demonic gods of Egypt. And this was in the Old Testament. How much more should we walk in being inhabited by the same Holy Spirit that empowered Jesus to do His signs, wonders, miracles, deliverance, healings and everything else!
Isn’t it time for the Church to take off it graveclothes of bondage and be set free? Isn’t it time for the Church to rise up as more than conquerors? Isn’t it time for the Church to demonstrate that greater is He who lives in her than he who lives in this world? Isn’t it time for the Church to mature in its calling and spiritual gifts? Isn’t it time that the Church becomes the counter-culture Jesus called her to be, and change the world, more than the world changes her? Isn’t it time?
It’s time for the Church, I mean, for you and me to COME ALIVE! Dead bones COME ALIVE! Dead religion, COME ALIVE! COME ALIVE!
As you notice, I am not into religion very much. I only want people to taste the Presence of God in their lives. His presence will ruin you for the world’s nice, quaint religious practice. The power of the Gospel will engulf you. It will transform you from walking in the flesh, to walking in the Spirit!
Maybe you need to come to a COME ALIVE! conference? Maybe you need deliverance or healing? Maybe your church needs to COME ALIVE!?
COME ALIVE! is a conference where you begin to yearn and seek after God, His Kingdom and His righteousness. A beginning to seek and see His presence in you and your church’s life on a ’24/7/365′ basis. A beginning to walk out your salvation with fear and trembling. A beginning for you to be set free from your past, depression, fears, doubt, shame, guilt, condemnation, addictions, suicidal thoughts, sexual perversity, confusion, identity dysphoria, anger, unforgiveness, hate, etc.
COME ALIVE! equips you and your church for effective and transformational ministries of evangelism, deliverance, healing, spiritual warfare, miracles, signs, wonders and Kingdom anointing to transform people’s lives as you Jesus to them and within them. COME ALIVE! helps you and your church come out of its ‘coma’, into a new life of purpose, power and the maturity to ‘reproduce’ Jesus Christ in the dead and unsaved people around us.
Maybe it’s time to host a COME ALIVE! event in your area. Pray about it. Let God begin to stir the spiritual atmosphere and hearts around you in your church. Then, contact me for more information. Begin walking in His anointing, calling and presence today. Be blest!!!
