Pastor Vlad continues the series “Digging Wells” and today he ventures into the decisions we must make as christians to pray until the Holy Spirit shows up. Making that stand and not backing down.

Notes

Acts 12:5-7

Don’t stop praying for Peter just because you buried James

Don’t build your doctrine on disappointment

Devil is a criminal. You are the police. You have the authority and power to cast out demons.

Some chains fall off silently, others violently.

When we pray - Holy Spirit shows up.

Deliverance is a means to a goal. Dominion is the goal.

76% of US in mates wind up back in jail, the same way may Christians go from deliverance to deliverance, instead of dominion.

Getting out of Egypt is not the goal, possessing promise land is!

In Egypt you get deliverance. In Promise Land you walk in dominion.

In Egypt you are a slave. In Promise Land you are a soldier.

Deliverance is an event but freedom is a journey.

How to move from deliverance to dominion?

1. WAKE UP.

2. RISE UP in discipline! Demons are not the only thing we fight, flesh is defeated by discipline! Holy Spirit produces fruit of self-control

3. DRESS UP new attitude, confession and mindset. Put on armor of God not to fight but to stand in victory. Your issue is not your identity. Before circumstances change - your attitude has to.

4. GET OUT. Follow Holy Spirit out of toxic relationships, trigger points, bad places, and temptations. Find a house so that you don’t return to prison.
