It's not always 'deliverance' thats needed.

People need DISCIPLESHIP!

Deliverance is not a show or performance.

& people do need deliverance.

But may God be glorified through it! Not the vessel or instrument being used to do deliverance.

There is a HUGE difference between idolizing someone vs. honoring them.

Ministry & deliverance is NOT always 'instagrammable'. It's not always looking pretty & exciting.

Ministry is work, it's surrender, it's decreasing in the flesh so God can increase in the Spirit.

The work that's done behind cameras in private when no one is watching.

We MUST continue to grow in God.

People get into God's presence to get delivered... but don't STAY in God's presence to STAY delivered.

That's discipleship. 

There's a process out of being 'rescued from evil' & STAYING set free in Jesus name.

Praying for purity, reverence & REAL fear of the Lord.

12 Keys on what to do after deliverance:

1. Yield to the Lordship of Jesus and the Holy Spirit in all areas of your life. 
2. Stay humble.
3. Put God first.
4. Meditate on the word day and night. Look up scriptures that pertain to what you have been delivered from. It is important to have a word to be able to resist the devil. Example: if you were delivered from the spirit of fear. Look up all the scriptures on fear and memorize them. And when the enemy tries to bring any situation or thoughts of fear. You have the word to say, as it is written in 1 Timothy 1:7, “God has not given me the spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind.”
5. Know who you are in Christ.
6. Pray without ceasing.
7. Turn away from all occult and any idolatry.
8. Get rid of things in your house that can cause an open door. Any decorations, artifacts, clothes, photos or any items that does not honor Jesus.
9. Ask the Holy Spirit to lead you to a church that is biblically based, spirit filled and led by the Holy Spirit.
10. Attend Bible studies regularly.
11. Continue to live a life of Holiness, Righteousness, and Reverence to God.
12. Study the power and authority that you have as a disciple of Jesus Christ.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

We are called to discern the voices we hear.

There are several voices out there… not everything you hear is from God.

#1 World

2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. (Romans 12:2)

The ‘world’ is the godless system.

Don’t let this godless system influence you.

#2 Devil

3 Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” 4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ” (Matthew 4:3-4)

The devil spoke and tempted Jesus in the wilderness.

If Jesus heard the devils voice, what makes us think we don’t?

#3 Flesh

The flesh wants to glorify self.

The spirit wants to glorify God.

16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17 
For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. (Galatians 5:16-17)

Now the works of the flesh are in the next few verses in Galatians that are ‘evidence’ of the work of the flesh.

#4 God

What are the different ways God speaks?

God speaks through people.

Listen to counsel and receive instruction, That you may be wise in your latter days. (Proverbs 19:20)

God speaks through prayer.

26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession [g]for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. (Romans 8:26)

God speaks through dreams & visions.

Then He said, “Hear now My words: If there is a prophet among you, I
, the Lord, make Myself known to him in a vision; I speak to him in a dream. (Numbers 12:6)

God speaks through the bible.

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness ( 2 Timothy 3:16)

13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe. (1 Thessalonians 2:13)

Out of all 4 mentioned, the best way to know when God speaks is through the bible.

Questions to ask yourself when hearing God.

Do you wait on God? & do you wait in God?

Does it agree with scripture?

Does it give you peace?

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Hearing God's voice tends to be an interesting topic to teach & share.

The more wisdom you get, the more you understand you must continue to surrender to God.

The Lord speaks & confirms in different ways.

We must continue to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit and yield to the Holy Spirit everyday.

You must know God, not just knowing of God.

1 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 2 But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. 5 Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.(John 10:1-5)

The sheep know the shepherds voice.

How can we grow with the Lord if we don't spend time with the Lord.

If you want to know God's voice, spend time with Him more.

When you are intimate with someone, you can know how they speak.

The Holy Spirit may say things that are uncomfortable.

Just because it's uncomfortable, doesn't mean its not God.

4 ways that God speaks

#1 God speaks through people.

20 Listen to counsel and receive instruction,
That you may be wise in your latter days. (Proverbs 19:20)

#2 God speaks through prayer.

20 But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, (Jude 1:20)

26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession [g]for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. (Romans 8:26)

#3 God speaks through dreams/visions.

 6 Then He said,
“Hear now My words:
If there is a prophet among you,
I, the Lord, make Myself known to him in a vision;
I speak to him in a dream. (Numbers 12:6)

#4 God speaks through the Bible.

16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, (2 Timothy 3:16)

3 Questions to ask yourself to know if it's God's voice

Do you wait on God?

Does it agree with scripture?

Does it give peace?

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 

 Walking in the supernatural is a lifestyle.

It’s a daily devotion to God.

A devotion to seek Him first.
A devotion to putting Him first in our decisions.
A devotion to 

#1 You MUST know His word.

God’s word holds weight in both the physical and spiritual realms.

His word is our weapon, its a sword.

We must know how to use it!

It is written.

4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ” (Matthew 4:4)

13 For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe. (1 Thessalonians 2:13)

We might know the scriptures, but do the scriptures know us?

It means, do we actually LIVE the word of God?

#2 Prayer life

When you pray, things change. 

But when you don’t pray… things can change you.

Prayer is a lifestyle & is the oxygen of the believer.

Jesus didn’t teach His disciples how to preach.

But He did teach His disciples how to pray. (Luke 11)

17 pray without ceasing, (1 Thessalonians 5:17)

In the book of Acts they continued to expand God’s kingdom and prayer played a huge part in the growth.

40 And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Be saved from this perverse generation.” 41 Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them. 42 And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’  doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. (Acts 2:40-42)

#3 Know The Holy Spirit

8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” (Acts 1:8)

Jesus promised the power of the Holy Spirit… & it’s here!

We must walk in alignment with God’s spirit.

The Holy Spirit is what gives us POWER to move during these end times as believers.

You can be a christian and not a disciple... 

but you can't be a disciple and not a christian.

What does it truly mean to be a disciple?

These are the words of Jesus from the bible.

18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen. (Matthew 28:18-20)

We are called to make disciples!

There is a difference between a believer & a disciple.

A disciple has a teacher.

Rabbi = Master Teacher.

Jesus is our rabbi & master teacher.

A disciple is...

#1 A learner NOT a listener
#2 Follows a teaching
#3 A doer (Matthew 7:24-25)
#4 Imitators of their teacher
29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. (Romans 8:29)
#5 A student (disciplined)
40 A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is perfectly trained will be like his teacher. (Luke 6:40)

Are you trying to follow Jesus & be like Him?

Let's talk about the 3 marks of a true disciple:

Marks of a true disciple

#1 Abide in Jesus Word 
31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. (John 8:31)

#2 Love thy brethren 
34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” (John 13:34-35)

#3 You bear much fruit 
8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples. (John 15:8)

A few commitments we can learn from being a true disciple.

#1 It requires COMMITMENT to follow Jesus
#2 Commitment to love thy brothers
#3 Commitment to bear fruit

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

 29 Peter and the other apostles replied: “We must obey God rather than human beings! (Acts 5:29)

We've heard this growing up in Christ... "Obedience is greater than sacrifice".

Obedience is God is very important as we followers of Jesus.

You'll see this over and over again in scripture.

Here are 5 benefits of Obedience according to the word of God.

#1 Obedience makes you a disciple.

31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.(John 8:31)

#2 Obedience protects us.

24 “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: 25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. (Matthew 7:24-25)

The reason why the Lord gives us instruction.. is for our protection.

#3 Obedience shows our love for God.

5 But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God [a]is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. 6 He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked. (1 John 2:5-6)

Truly our act of obeying God, shows our love for God.

#4 Obedience brings blessings.

1 Blessed are all who fear the Lord,
    who walk in obedience to him. (Psalm 128:1)

When we obey God, we are BLESSED!

#5 Obedience reveals our heart.

Obedience to God is worship to God.

Obedience will test us.

1 Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!”
“Here I am,” he replied. (Genesis 22:1)

The Lord allows wilderness seasons to test us, humble us and know what's in our heart.

2 Remember how the Lord your God led you all the way in the wilderness these forty years, to humble and test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands. (Deuteronomy 8:2)

These tests allow us to really KNOW if we can trust God.

10 I, the Lord, search the heart,
I test the mind,
Even to give every man according to his ways,
According to the fruit of his doings. (Jeremiah 17:10)

Obedience allows us to also WALK with God...

If there's anything you can learn from all this. 

It's walking with God.

8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. 9 This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God. (Genesis 6:8-9)

Be like Noah.

Walk with God!

In Jesus mighty name.

Life is a process.

Ministry is a process.

To cook food is a process.

There are several benefits to why God allows us to go through a process.

#1 Humble Us
#2 Test Us
#3 Builds Character
#4 Builds Patience
#5 Gains knowledge & wisdom

1 “Every commandment which I command you today you must be careful to observe, that you may live and multiply, and go in and possess the land of which the Lord swore to your fathers. 2 And you shall remember that the Lord your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not. 3 So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord. 4 Your garments did not wear out on you, nor did your foot swell these forty years. 5 You should know in your heart that as a man chastens his son, so the Lord your God chastens you. (Deuteronomy 8:1-5)

As believers, we go through wilderness seasons and moments.

And just because you may feel uncomfortable in your journey, doesn't mean God won't allow it.

If we didn't get uncomfortable, we wouldn't need our Comforter which is the Holy Spirit.

A great verse to meditate on when you're going through trials is in Romans.

5 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; (Romans 5:1-3)

Let's highlight 'glory in tribulations'

The ability to glory in tribulation is not always easy.

And in fact, it's hard to rejoice or boast in the Lord when we go through trials.

But we MUST glory through the trials because tribulation produces perserverance.

4 and perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. (Romans 5:4-5)

Now building patience... comes from waiting on the Lord.

Knowing that His ways are perfect.

26 And He said, “The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground, 27 and should sleep by night and rise by day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he himself does not know how. 28 For the earth yields crops by itself: first the blade, then the head, after that the full grain in the head. 29 But when the grain ripens, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.” (Mark 4:26-29)

There is a PROCESS to when its time to harvest.

13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living. 14 Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord! (Psalm 27:13-14)

God bless you!

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

One of the first messages that Jesus preaches is on repentance!

14 Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, 15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.” (Mark 1:14-15)

Repent: metaneoe ~ to change one’s mind

38 Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.” (Acts 2:38-39)

19 Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, (Acts 3:19)

So what are 3 keys that lead to true repentance?

Repentance leads you to God’s goodness.
4 Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance? 5 But in accordance with your hardness and your impenitent heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, (Romans 2:4-5)

Repentance bears fruit.
7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, “Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8 Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance, (Matthew 3:7-8)

Repentance is a radical shift
1 Then He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no offenses should come, but woe to him through whom they do come! 2 It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. 3 Take heed to yourselves. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. 4 And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day returns to you, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.” (Luke 17:1-4)

One of my favorite verses on repentance is in 2 Chronicles.

It’s the word of the Lord speaking to Solomon and giving him both a word of living in righteousness and unrighteousness.

14 if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. 15 Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place. 16 For now I have chosen and sanctified this house, that My name may be there forever; and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually. 17 As for you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, and do according to all that I have commanded you, and if you keep My statutes and My judgments, 18 then I will establish the throne of your kingdom, as I covenanted with David your father, saying, ‘You shall not fail to have a man as ruler in Israel.’  (2 Chronicles 7:12-22)

If you keep reading in 2 Chronicles 7:19-22, you will see the consequences of NOT following God's statues and turning away to other gods.

May we all live a heart that is truly repented to God DAILY.
