All right, good morning everyone. We'll welcome all of our students to fire and grace school of ministry this morning. This is our second semester block uh what is that four so this is block four spiritual warfare uh this is class number seven so we'll be dealing with and really this is uh in the spiritual warfare block this is demons and deliverance part two um just calling this one doorways so um and what i've done is uh combine some of the older stuff together with some new stuff but we've got a lot to cover i think i have at least 50 slides this morning so we're going to go through doorways so last week of course we talked about um we talked about you know demons and how they get in a little bit we talked about uh how they you know we can break the hedge we can give place to the devil whosoever we're going to go look back over those verses again as well spiritual warfare class seven and this is what we're hearing the specifics of opening the doors giving place to the devil uh breaking the hedge we're going to talk about all that and what it does also going to explain a little bit more about astral projection today and uh how that doorway is opened and that's really one of the main goals of people in the occult world or those toying with yoga and eastern mysticism and those kind of things but anyway spiritual warfare class seven demons and deliverance doorways here we are we're going to start off on this i shared last week but we need to get these verses down in us ephesians 4 27 neither give place to the devil and paul was speaking this of course to the church at ephesus and the church at ephesus if you go back to ephesians 1 1 he says when he's writing this letter that the holy spirit inspired him to write he says he's writing this to the saints and to the faithful in christ jesus so this is not to the lost this is not to the unsaved this is not even to the backslidden christian this is to the born again christian who is considered holy a saint and faithful in christ jesus and he instructs them do not give place to the devil all right now if it was impossible for a christian to give place to the devil why would there be a warning right so anybody can open a door now some people ask me well christian can't have a demon i said well let's ask ask this question how does anyone get a demon in a demon stronghold in him sin right can a christian sin well yeah so if a christian can sin and a christian can open the door to a demon right so first peter 5 8 be sober be vigilant because your adversary the devil as a roaring line walk is about
seeking whom he may devour uh this is first peter 5 8 and again who was peter talking to in this if you go back and you look at the context you look at first peter chapter five look at verse one he's talking to christians so again warning that satan is he said be sober be vigilant the word vigilant there means to be alert and aware that danger is around you that there is the possibility for satan to get a stronghold to get a doorway to get a legal right to devour you again if it was impossible if you were saved if just being born again and you're born again and your sins are washed away by the blood of jesus if that was enough and you didn't have to do anything to make sure the devil doesn't get a place in you or a a doorway or a way of entrance to attack you then why i mean why would why would the apostles under the inspiration of the holy spirit give these warnings so it's just logical just logical deductive reasoning here it goes okay so we need to be alert we need to be sober and vigilant aware that there is danger that we need to be aware we can give place to the devil we can open doors and we can do that any number of ways here's another verse that we covered he that diggeth the pit shall fall into it and who so breaketh a hedge a serpent shall bide him now the hedge is the hedge of protection that god puts around us god does put a hedge around his people he promises that but that hedge can be broken and he says who so that means whosoever breaks the hedge gives legal right through sin disobedience even ignorance can get you in trouble but whosoever breaks the hedge it says here a serpent shall bite him now we know luke 1019 jesus said i behold i gave you power to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy so that this serpent here is a reference to demon spirits now when a serpent bites you like that serpent biting that gentleman's foot there what's he doing his things are going where in you and he's leaving some of his poison in you to harm you to kill you okay this is what happens when we open the door to the devil he brings in some poison he brings in some he leaves he leaves an aspect of himself there and uh and can build a great stronghold there a strong man with multiple demon spirits and again it doesn't mean we're total demon possession we covered that last week last class um the difference between having one demon stronghold the woman in luke 13 versus the mary mackin luke 8 who had seven demons versus the gathering demoniac who had
up to 2000 a legion of demons there are degrees of demon possession or infiltration or demonic strongholds in a person and so there are degrees and level of influence in a person when there's demonic strongholds but anyway so i said here ignorance is not bliss you know there's that saying ignorance is bliss no it's not when it comes to satan and demons you cannot be ignorant um paul warned here second corinthians chapter two he said to them less satan should get an advantage of us for we are not ignorant to his devices well if you there's always the flip side of the coin what's he saying there well if you are ignorant of satan's devices then he can get an advantage so he's saying there don't you know satan's not going to get advantage of us because we are not ignorant of his devices how he works but i'm going to tell you right now many christians are ignorant because they're pastors in churches and bible schools and seminaries do not teach on spiritual warfare and deliverance and so people are ignorant and hosiah four six of course four six and seven i should say the lord says here this is the lord speaking he said my people did he say the heathen the wicked the unsaved no he said my people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge and then he says this because thou has rejected knowledge i will also reject thee that thou shall be no priest to me seeing thou has forgotten the law of thy god i will also forget thy children as they were increased so they sinned against me therefore will i change their glory into shame so he says my people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge but that's not the only problem sometimes the knowledge is brought to them and they reject it it's pretty strong when god says my people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge that should never be because god is always ready to give his knowledge and wisdom to his people but again we get caught up in the doctrines of men denominations traditions we get caught up in you know false teachings and we don't listen to him and we reject knowledge or again we stay in places that keep us ignorant we don't read the bible and study it enough for ourselves and so we stay ignorant and ignorant people uh satan gets an advantage over them and they do things and open doorways to him and give him place when they shouldn't trust me after 30 plus years of ministry and counseling christians i can tell you that christians for the most part are ignorant to this and do stupid things and give satan place all the time i mean we got christian yoga need i say more all right how do you mix christianity and eastern religions bowing down to the sun god and all the the uh what is it the positions of yoga
each one's about to the sun i mean it's it's that's what it was created for and we got christians doing it in churches now like it's okay uh it's crazy um let's keep going here uh jobe we talk about you know the who so breaks the hedge a serpent will bite him uh just so you see the lord talking about the hedge here um but he says here jobe 1 9 through 10 and satan answered the lord and said doth jobe fear god for naught or for nothing hast not thou made a hedge about him and about his house and about all that he hath and on every side thou hast blessed the work of his hands and the and his substance is increased in the land so he's you know here's the reference satan said yeah i'd like to attack joe but you know what you've made a hedge around it basically you have a you have a wall of protection around him i can't touch him and that's when of course the lord was like okay i'm going to let you touch him but you can't do you can do this but you can't do this this and this but here's the reference to the hedge again in the bible remember the wisdom of solomon by the holy spirit who so ever breaks the hedge a serpent shall bite him again he's talking about the demons the devils the principalities and powers of the rulers of the darkness of this world now let's look at this word because this word hedge is interesting and i looked it up and this was this was a couple of years ago when i was really doing a study in the paleo hebrew the ancient hebrew letters and what they mean and i found this interesting because joe won here the word for hedge is suk suk okay and the letters um it's just three letters it's uh we're going to show you this shin or shin vav and dalette and we'll get into what those mean in a minute but just the definition in the lexicon the strong's definition suk uh to entwine to shut in for formation protection restraint offense make a hedge so talking about a fence coming around uh to hedge in to protect all right so that's suk but even the letters uh the the hebrew letters bear this out um here's the letter shin of course you got early hebrew and middle hebrew and so are late hebrew but looks kind of like rw but it it represents teeth it represents fire and it's also just so you see it uh it represents remember the bible says in hebrews that our god is a consuming fire also shin is also stands for the word shaddai a name for god so whenever you see the shin it can have multiple meanings but it can also mean the name of god like kind of like his initials kind of like his uh
quick signature on something and so once you understand that and then you understand what va the va the in paleo hebrew the pictograph is a nail uh or a hook but as you see it says the pictograph a hook a nail symbolizer is joining together making secure all right so you see that all right so anyway here it is just so you can see it vav is a hook or a nail primarily a nail you'll see that that's the main thing and the word the third letter is dalette which is doorway dalette is a leaf of a book a door or a gate as you can see here the pictograph symbolizes a door a path or way of life movement especially in or out of so when you put these three letters together so shin being the almighty god of israel dalette secures the door so that's what the word hedge is paleo hebrew by the letters that's really interesting suit so even the letters bear out that it is god protecting the doorway the hedge is a doorway very important because i'm transitioning into the hedge is just another word for uh wall fence a door or doorway being shut or open all right now here this is in genesis four uh we're four at six and seven where the lord is speaking to kane when kane became jealous of his brother because god accepted able sacrifice of a lamb for his sin kane disobeyed and trying to offer the fruits of the ground god did not accept it kane became evil and so the lord said unto kane why art thou wroth or angry why is that countenance fallen if thou do us well shalt thou not be accepted and if thou do us not well here's what god said sin lieth at the door and unto thee shall be his desire and thou shalt thou shalt rule over him now sin lieth at the door if you look this up in the hebrew it gives the picture of something crouching like an animal crouching in the grass ready to pounce on you of course i've got my little my little devils and demons coming through the doorways here but uh we have doorways we are we have a spirit a soul and a body and there's multiple rooms to this temple and there's multiple doors there's many doors that can be open and god god says this again he tells he warns and remember too if we go to if we went to first john chapter three he says this he says that kane was of that wicked one satan what he was saying was who was kane giving place to
wasn't just the sin but he was giving place to satan the murderer that came into him and this was what god was trying to warn him about when we start dealing with this area of doorways and finding out basically trying to find out how satan gets a place in somebody's life um the way we have to do it is we have to a lot of times we have to go back and find out you know go back in the past and go okay we've got this demonic problem going on in someone's life where did this start where did this begin how did this start happening and you see jesus asked this question here and this is mark 9 23 23 and they brought him unto him and when he saw him straightway the spirit tear him this is evil spirit he fell on the ground and wallowed foam and he asked his father this is jesus ask his father how long is it ago since this came unto him and he said of a child and oft times it has cast him into the fire and into the waters to destroy him but if thou canst do anything have compassion on us and help us and jesus said unto him if thou canst believe all things are possible to him that believe it so when jesus began to ask how long ago when did this happen really what happened when jesus asked that question and the father told him oh this happened this you know this happened long you know since he's been a child and that's when jesus knew the problems with dad and then when the words came out of dad's mouth if you can do anything help us what do we find out there we find doubt unbelief fear and the lord has to correct him and say if you can believe all things are possible basically dad you need to get out of doubt and fear all right because that's the problem that's what's keeping this from happening and of course the man does cry out lord i believe help my unbelief and then jesus moves and casts the demons out of the child and the child's healed but what i'm saying is here this is a principle jesus was given us principles here to follow and one of these principles is say when he asked how long ago is it since this came unto him you got to ask questions sometime people came to come to me a lot for counseling they say well i got this problem in my life going on and i say okay well when did this start and so that's one of the first questions i asked when did this start in your life they tell me this and i'm like and then so so so what i'm saying is sometimes you got to have a conversation and you got to dig into the past and so that's how we deal with deliverance here we try to find the doorways no matter how far even if i go back to you being a child we try to find those doorways and then we can deal with the demonic stronghold that has placed through that doorway and then we can shut that door and that's what you're going to have to do if you want to be if you want to be an effective deliverance minister
all right listing the doorways now a lot of people say oh it's not biblical you shouldn't have to write down you know make a list and write down all these doorways or talk about the past but i mean here you have it i'm going to read jobe here this is we got several verses i want to read here but about it's important sometimes really for everybody at one point or another to openly confess their sins and struggles and faults and you know things to other people and the bible gives this principle so let's read first of all jobe 13 23 through 24 and verse 26 here says how many are my iniquities and sins make me to know my transgression and my sin wherefore heightest thou thy face and holdest me for your enemy for you write bitter things against me and make me to possess the iniquities of my youth now we're going to define that word possess here in a minute because it's interesting but he's saying lord you write things against me make me to know my iniquities in my sin and he starts talking about you make me possess the iniquities of my youth we'll look at the what that means here in a second but proverbs 28 13 says he that covereth his sins shall not prosper but who so confesseth and forsake at them shall have mercy and of course the new testament james chapter 5 gives us a little more instruction on that says confess your faults one to another and pray one for another that you may be healed what's interesting about this i've had people try to attack us and criticize us because when we do deliverance ministry we get people to fill out a very thorough confession of every doorway that they've opened whether through sin or ignorance or whatever and people are like oh they just want to know all their dirt no that has nothing to do with it you know what as born again believers we shouldn't be worried about the dirt of the past but if it's still messing with us then we need to confess it and we need to talk about it and we need to deal with it get rid of it you know our goal here this ministry and any deliverance ministry should be to help people get free from from besetting habitual sins and torment and strongholds and addictions and problems that seem to linger even after salvation that's what deliverance ministry is all about helping people get free and i don't see you listen i have people all the time they want to argue christian can't have a demon i i've heard this for you know three decades right but see understand this no principle of the scripture is broken if if if a christian comes to me and says i'm i'm i'm addicted to drugs i'm addicted to pills or i'm addicted to alcohol or i'm addicted to cigarettes or any i'm addicted i you
know and so in jesus name we get that they confess that sin i said well you need to repent and ask for forgiveness and the bible says if you confess your sins he's faithful and just to forgive you but then he's and they say well i've done that but i can't stop so then we pray for that person you pray for that person you say in jesus name i bind the spirit of addiction i bind these demons of addiction and control and manipulation i bind these demons and command them to go and that and the demons leave and the person gets set free and they no longer have a desire to smoke or take the pills or drink the the alcohol and get drunk they're free what principle has been broken you want to argue about about whether they had a demon or not you know you cast the thing out and they get better they're they're getting free in the name of jesus christ there's no principle of the scripture being broken to cast a demon out of anyone who's struggling but again like i said last week we don't cast demons out of unsaved people because they if they're not saved they don't have any way to keep them out right so it doesn't even make any sense and jesus warned about that you cast demons out of somebody matthew 12 says they come back they find the house empty swept and garnished they take seven more spirits wicked than themselves they enter in what was the problem the house hadn't it been cleaned out yeah had the demons been driven out right but it was empty so jesus was saying you got an empty house you cast demons out of a house and it's empty it doesn't have me in there then guess what you can't keep the demons out so casting demons out of unsaved people just a no-no so it's mainly for christians it's the children's bread all right we'll talk about that too later but that's what second corinthian 7 1 having therefore these promises dearly beloved who's he talking to yeah let us if i said guys in here let us don't talk about us right we're all together let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and the spirit perfecting holiness perfecting holiness in the fear of god so there you have it we cleanse ourselves and i pointed this out last week that if you look at the you know the two cleansings first john 1 9 if we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins and to cleanse us from all of righteousness this one is where we take up our power and authority given to us in jesus name that claims ourselves of unclean spirit so the principle this principle of making a list and i want to show you this these are some of the definitions this is job 13 when he says you make me to possess he says here to occupy now listen to this possess the iniquities of my youth
now think about this he's talking about okay the sins and things i did in my youth the word possess here means you occupy that land by driving out previous tenants oh isn't that interesting the very definition of this word is to cast out drive out enemies that are in your land all right so according to these definitions here this is a deliverance reference here in job 13 again here's the jesinius hebrew cal D lexicon says to take take possession of to occupy especially by force all right so he's talking about dealing with the you know what what happens when you sin whether it be in your youth or whenever you open a door you give ground place to the devil to demon spirits so what he's saying when job he says make me to you make me to possess the iniquities of my youth you're making me deal with them you're making me drive out the tenants that came in through my sin he's the unwanted tenants let's put it that way the squatters i call they don't want to go all right this is just more of it the job 13 it goes on down the jesinius to take possession of one to take possession of his goods to expel to drive him out from the possession you see it it's all down through there you can look it up there's a blue letter bible i'm using here so when he says you write things it says here to prescribe to direct in writing to put down in writing to write down so i don't see any problem with uh writing down the iniquities of our youth and dealing with it all right now here we are we got seven main doorways for demons but we're going to elaborate on these a little more as we get into this but anyway here here are the seven main doorways for demons generational curses or sins these are things that we didn't do but we inherited from the sins of our fathers and we'll get to that verse in a minute pass down even from the third and fourth generation the bible says and i've seen a lot of this you know it's interesting because you see this played out with like for instance david and solomon david committed adultery with basheba and even god said i've forgiven you of your sin but the sword will never leave your house and then his son becomes king king solomon and you see that his lust problem was even worse than his father's but where did that come from who was solomon's mother basheba so both david and basheba
having been adulterer adulterous that sin passed on down and you know uh solomon even though he was a godly king in the beginning he had uh what was it 300 wives and 700 concubines i think it was or 700 wives i get them mixed up but a thousand women insanity and the bible had specifically said that kings were not to multiply wives to themselves so he was going directly against god's word and but you see what what what just just a terrible thing but you see in david's household i mean he had one of his sons rape one of his sisters there was a lot of problems in that house right and so this generational thing is true i saw years back uh what was it maryland hickey did a book on generational curses and she showed two men that lived at the same time and one of them was jonathan edwards from the 1700s and one of them was an atheist um and she she showed their generations for like uh you know almost two centuries and the blessing jonathan edwards you know led the first great awakening was a christian was a preacher um it just went down how many preachers were in his lineage how many uh ended up being congressmen and senators and presidents and they said it ended up being that jonathan edwards descendants at that by that point cost the u.s government no money this atheist on the other hand had number of murderers thieves just i mean it just went down the list and it had a number of i can't even remember now how much uh how many you know how much money that that you know group of just dealing with them for crimes and all this other stuff had cost the us government and you could just see the curse on the atheist lineage versus the blessing on the on the christian lineage there is something to this i don't care what people say it's real all right but the second one childhood trauma and abuse we'll talk about that more in a minute occult and pagan practices number three any occult or pagan practices uh number four a biggie sexual sins uh number five oaths vows and curses that people you put on yourself basically you make oaths and vows like in freemasonry and so on and so forth and number six touch close association we'll deal with that and number seven unforgiveness bitterness but those are your main your seven doorways that give place to the devil uh here's the verses that i was talking about the generational sins so here's numbers 1418 what does it say here the lord is long suffering and of great mercy for giving iniquity and transgression and by no means clearing
the guilty visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and the fourth generation visiting visiting yes the sins of your fathers will visit you it's just a principle that happens okay visiting can can mean judgment because one of the things you you remember daniel even daniel understood this when he was praying in daniel chapter nine and he was asking for forgiveness he was praying for his nation he said forgive he said lord forgive my sins and the sins of my fathers why was he doing that he understood this principle right here again he knew what the word of god said all right let's keep going uh second timothy 1 5 see there's not just the generational sins that will visit or the generational curses that will visit but the blessings as well and paul talks about this in the new testament he's speaking to timothy he says when i called to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is indeed which would do out first in my grandmother lois and my mother unis and i am persuaded that in the also so he said dwelt first in your grandmother then it was passed to your mother and i believe it's in you too the blessing of them being believers in jesus christ that's powerful and i can see that i see in my own family i've i've witnessed and experienced the blessing and the curses from my my family and dealt with them accordingly but you know i inherited um i believe i inherited the blessing from my my great grandfather my great grandmother got saved in a pentecostal brush arbor meeting and in like the 1930s and then my two great aunts they got saved born again and filled with the holy spirit and and they prayed for me from the time i was they found out my mother was pregnant with me until i was born again and i can tell you right now the lord spoke to me and the day my before my grandmother my great grandmother passed away he told me he said you're here because of her and i was saved and walking with the lord at that time and it's like this woman prayed you prayed for you and kept you alive until you could basically tell you your eyes got opened and you got yourself right um but anyway there's uh that's why it's so important you know we can we can come from a family of atheists that never believed and we can become believers and we can start the blessing on our children in posterity so it's it's always a good thing it's never too late
to start what i'm saying if you breathe and still breathe in air yeah yeah it's always always can start fresh now a minute ago we mentioned child sex abuse and trauma this this problem is bigger and more widespread than anyone wants to admit back you know this this one says here one in three girls are sexually abused and one in five boys are sexually abused now this is probably conservative because many do not ever get reported um it's the it's unbelief uh they're saying here 17 million children will be sexually abused over the next 18 years 47 percent of child molesters were sexually abused as children 42 million is the number of sexual abuse survivors in the u.s today and that's probably way low 77 percent of child molesters are married think about that one 93 percent of child molesters consider themselves religious 90 percent of children know they're abuser this is a huge problem 400 000 number of convicted pedophiles living in the u.s and i assure you that number is not correct that is much higher only one in 10 children will tell someone they were molested which is why they go without help and healing and deliverance that they need 80 of sexual abuse survivors have drug and alcohol problem 20 of male sexual abuse survivors will attempt suicide and it costs over 20 billion estimated annual mental health a year per year pretty bad but this is not even scratching the surface okay and of course i put this is one of the priests that was recently convicted for molesting kids and it's rampant this is a rapid problem within the roman catholic church but not only the roman catholic church i mean it's everywhere there's a church here in town i won't name any names that had two of one was a worship leader another was a church member a lawyer who both molested kids in that church and are in jail now because of it church here in this town um and i'm sure you know we only know of a little bit of it so what i'm saying is i'm not trying to pick on the roman catholic church but it is a it is more prevalent in the roman catholic church but it's also very prevalent within islam because islam actually mohammed married a six-year-old girl and says he consummated the marriage when she was nine and this is known by all muslims and so that's why they are still allowing 40 and 50 year old men to marry little children little girls it's sick right
um but this is this is a serious problem and um i'm telling you this whenever this has happened to somebody when they were child you want to talk about strong demonic problems in their lives that they need to be healed and delivered from so this is this is huge right here and like i said just giving you a little glimpse into this of course one of the things that happens too when children are sexually molested immediately to deal with the situation their their their mind their psyche this is why satan this is why this is practiced in satanic covens and with witches and satanists and cults it's because it immediately it's so it's so overwhelming that it fractures the psyche of a child and there's a protective mechanism that goes in when there's such atrocities and pain and kind of thing that is called dissociative identity disorder so the children will talk about this that in people that say you know that have been through this stuff will say yeah it was like my spirit came out of my body and i kind of watched this happening and i stopped feeling it and so what happens is there's a there's just this whole it's very very um it's very very just destructive and that's why the devil does it but it's anyway this is just webmd this is just the secular they they acknowledge this and they say that dissociative identity disorder is thought to stem from a combination of factors that may include trauma experienced by the person with the disorder the dissociative aspect is thought to be a coping mechanism the person literally dissociates himself from a situation or experience that's too violent traumatic or painful to assimilate with his conscious self so what happens here there's a fracturing of actually the mind the psyche the soul and and it actually enables a child to um what we call astral project basically have out-of-body experience um and so it opens the doorways and again it's because it's an opening of a doorway to very powerful demons from the perpetrator to them and um this is again this is why the devil does this but astral projection is also um one of the results of this astral projection we're gonna look at this is just where a demonic link is formed between the soul and the spirit and a person can consciously uh their spirit can separate from their body and travel into different areas and see in the spirit realm and so on and so forth as you see there's a little attachment there we're going to talk about that in a minute the silver cord that's mentioned in the bible but we're going to talk about that in more detail now these are illustrations from
the book you guys are supposed to have already read he came to set the captives free by dr rebecca brown but you remember the story you know of witches flying on brooms um but this is really symbolic of astral projection right here true astral projection soul consciously controls spirit to travel outside even the cia was playing with this trying to get people into meditative and dissociative states and so they could remote view that's what they were calling and basically be in two places at one time see something in another place but remember whenever you enter the spirit realm by demonic power you will see what they want you to see now you may see some things that are actually real but you will see what they want you to see if it has uh because they're really always still trying to keep you in their deception and their agenda just remember that but this is practiced by witches and here's just the way it looks the spirit is sent out the spirit body is sent out to listen to a conversation this is astral projection the spirit picks up the conversation now god can do this with his people he did it with paul he did it with ezekiel i'll talk more about that in a minute but it's only when he chooses not not because we do some meditative state or visualization or get ourselves in some trance like state that's demonic that's using occult techniques but let's go let's let's look at this because we we need to understand that the spirit soul and body again this is very important when understanding deliverance first decimal is 5 23 the very god of peace sanctify you wholly or completely and i pray god your whole spirit soul and body be preserved blameless under the coming of our lord jesus christ so man is one man one person but we have a body a physical body we have a soul it's the mind will and emotions our consciousness which also has a subconscious level and an unconscious level of the mind and then we have the spirit which is the area of our conscience in the sense of discerning right and wrong it's also the area where we worship god the spirit body has a mouth it has ears eyes that's when paul said he was speaking in tongues he said it's my spirit that's praying he said you know i'm worshiping in the spirit and you know we've talked about this a little bit last semester we're talking about the gifts of the holy spirit we did talk about this some but let's look at this see before the fall adam adam was created spirit soul and body member god formed his body from the dust to the ground breathed into his nostrils the breath of life adam became a living soul but as we see from first thessalonians it's not just body and soul it's body soul and spirit three different words three different aspects but adam here before the fall was the only man made in the image of god adam could communicate with god who is spirit so before the fall i believe we believe
that you know the bible says there in the book of genesis that the lord would come down every evening in the cool of the day and meet with adam and even commune with adam and eve now it must have been very very clear that they could see him because remember what did they do when they sinned they immediately tried to what hide themselves from so it wasn't just uh it wasn't the way we have to do it today communication by faith they were seeing and so what's put forth here is that there was a man not having sinned had this still had this had this holy spirit link between his soul his mind will and emotions and his spirit body meaning he could see in the spirit realm and the physical realm all at the same time all right and that's why he could communion with god without any interference but when sin came what happened is that link between the soul and the spirit the consciousness the mind will and emotions and the spirit our spirit man that could see the spirit realm and hear the spirit realm because god is spirit there right what that was severed we were caught we lost that all right i'm gonna show you right here so whack see at the fall it was a disaster mysterious link was destroyed this ended atom's free communication with god and that's where we get this verse right here hebrews 4 12 for the word of god is quick and powerful sharper than any two-edged sword piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit and of the joints and marrow and as a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart so the word of god says there's a severing between the soul and the spirit they are different all right now this is this verse is primarily talking about that it's the word of god that lets us know what is of the soul and what is of the spirit but this also i believe shows that there was this severing when adam and eve sin and god said that's it you know they broke the word of god and they had to be put out of the garden so there was a separation that happened now not that god didn't communicate with them anymore or have anything to do with them but it changed all right and let's read this right here now what happens let's read this because i thought this was great because she she dr brown she describes this very good here she says as the holy spirit comes in at rebirth when we're born again we accept jesus as our lord and savior our spiritual body is reborn or rejuvenated so that we can commune with and worship the lord as adam did before the fall the fact that it is through our human spirit that we commune with god with the help of the holy spirit it is clearly demonstrated in the following verse jesus is speaking but the hour cometh and now is when the true worshiper shall worship the father in spirit and in truth for the father
seeketh such to worship him god is a spirit and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth please note that in these two verses that when god is referred to as being spirit being a spirit the word is spelled with a capital s however the human spirit is clearly differentiated by spelling it with a small s therefore only a spirit can commune that is communicate with the spirit world in this case worshiping god the father who is a spirit so when we're born again we're there is a reconnection to god now it's not that we're going to see in the spirit realm all the time we're going to address that here as well but we can't we do regain the ability to hear the lord's voice commune with him and see in the spirit when he so chooses not us choosing so here's a true christian and this is just a great thing so this link is activated i'm talking about when the lord wants us to see something here's something of him discern something she says and this is very important this link is activated only when god chooses he uses it to give understanding of the scriptures to make our hearts aware of his presence or to give us discerning of spirits allow us to see something in the spirit realm this is only at his choosing we cannot there's no way we can manufacture it manipulate it there's no techniques that you use it's completely by the lord any see because there's a bunch of christians now that are using repetitive mantra like prayers they're using visualization and eastern meditation techniques to create basically what they're doing is they don't understand it but they're forging a demonic link between the soul and the spirit and they're seeing in the spirit realm but it's by demonic power but they think that it's the lord and they control it through meditation and they call it contemplative prayer they call it centering prayer the catholics call it lecto divina it's all demonic it's all eastern mysticism it's the same techniques the the the kabbalah's jews do it the sufi muslims do it it's it's the satanic counterfeit for communing with god they just think they are they're deceived they're once they once they enter in with these eastern occult techniques they are messing with the angel of light lucifer yeah he said it don't use repetitive mantra prayers breath now you're gonna see look here all right so this is there after the fall no link and then satan uses a demonic force to build a corrupt link in fallen man so this is this is what happens here this gives man a conscious awareness of his spirit body the link enables him to consciously
communicate with the occult spirit world via his spirit so this is what happens with this stuff yeah when you start using mantra repetitive prayer visualization doesn't matter who you are no matter if you're a christian you're tapping into the demonic occult side you'll start seeing stuff i've had many many people who started playing with this stuff they started seeing things um this is what opens the third eye that's what crazy joe rogan's into he started doing meditation using dmt and so he's he's tell you he'll tell you he's opened his third eye and all that means is this link's been forged between his soul and his spirit and it's not the holy spirit that forged this link because he's into like i said he uses eastern meditation which is occultism mysticism and then he's used drugs to help him do it too this guy's teaching you know he's the number one podcast in the country more people listen to him than anybody else and this is what this guy's teaching people now he's a tool i mean he's just a tool of the devil but this has been going on this this is what we're talking about the third eye stuff and see that's what happens now this is a little illustration and i'm going to read it to you uh shirley mclean she wrote a book years ago in the 80s called out on the limb she's a famous actress you know what was it one of them her movie guarding tests anyway she's made just i mean she's just been in movies forever but this is uh through meditation she did it by focusing on a candle and her breaths it's many different ways people do this stuff but blanking out the mind and so this is a demon forming a link between soul and spirit through the act of satanic passive meditation or mantra meditation and so they form this link and that's what gives the ability it creates the ability to astral travel or have out of body experiences that's what all these witches and satanists and newagers and yogis and everything else this is this is this is what they're calling their god consciousness experience they're creating their own it's the counterfeit it is they are having experiences you know it's like kind of like people try to say oh there's no such thing as ufo phenomena no there's ufo phenomena it's real the phenomena is real it's just what is it right so it's the same thing here it's spiritual they're they're having spiritual experiences it's just with whom and they've been deceived to think it's the you know the god consciousness the christ consciousness or the buddha consciousness or the brahman or the you know they've got their all their own ideas because these demons again once they start playing with this stuff they're open to whatever these demons want to teach them and tell them and you know they won't call them demons they'll call them spirit guides and you know power demons and link
demons and you know again third eye and everything else now they even now trying to make it scientific about the pineal gland you know and everything now they're trying to make everything the spirit world scientific just to give it try to give it legitimacy and get people into it right um but here's here's the account of shirley mclean i wanted to read this because i think rebecca puts this dr brown puts this in the second book prepare for war it may be in the first one i can't remember but this is straight from her book describing this experience and i thought it was pertinent today because she talks about again the meditation come out like it opened a tunnel in her mind and then she starts talking about when her spirit left her body that she could see the silver cord and then we're going to show you the verses in the bible talk about the silver cord so this is a spiritual thing that's going on but god doesn't want his people doing it and using occult techniques and power but uh this is from shirley mclean's book um out on the limb her out of body experience here's what she says she says i was silent i wanted to think i wanted not to think i wanted above all to rest i breathed deeply a kind of bile rose to my throat i stared at the flickering candle he said my head felt light i physically felt kind of kind of a tunnel open in my mind now this is this is important for that i felt a kind of a tunnel open in my mind it grew like a cavern of clear space it was open and free of jumble it didn't feel like thought it felt actually physical the flame of the candle slowly melted into the space in my mind once again i felt myself become the flame i had no arms no legs no body no physical form i became the space in my mind i felt myself flow into the space fill it and float off rising out of my body until i began to soar i was aware that my body remained in the water i looked down and saw it and david stood next to it my spirit or mind or soul or whatever it was climbed higher into space right through the ceiling of the pool house and upward over the twilight uh river i literally felt i was flying no flying wasn't the right word it was more gentle than that wafting seemed to describe it best wafting higher and higher until i could see the mountains and the landscape below me and i recognized what i'd seen during the day and attached to my spirit was a thin thin silver corn that remained though attached to my body in the pool of water remember this is not a christian woman here by any means i wasn't in a dream no i was conscious of everything it seemed i was even conscious that i didn't want to soar too high i was conscious that i
didn't want to soar uh too far away from my body so there's this she was having this feeling what if i soared too far away and i'm separated from my body there was this fear it was what the spirit without the body is what james has dead i definitely felt connected what was certain to me was that i felt two forms my body formed below and my spirit formed that soared i was in two places at once and i accepted it completely i was aware as i soared of the vibrational energy around me i couldn't see it but i felt a new sense of sensing it it felt like a new dimension of perception somehow that i had nothing to do with hearing or seeing or smelling or tasting or touching i couldn't describe it to myself i knew it was there physically yet i knew my body was below me was this what all those people interviewed by elizabeth kuber ross had experienced had my spiritual energy separated itself from the physical form well i was i floating as my soul again so she doesn't know the terminology but her spirit's outside of her body i was consciously aware of my questions as i soared freely above the earth i was so conscious of what i felt that in those moments i understood how irrelevant my physical body was i was experiencing the separation i guess experiencing the two entities and very much more so she's describing it probably better than i've ever heard anybody describe it she felt two forms remember that my my body below and my spirit out of my body but remember when you're in the spirit world you can be deceived and right here though she does see the silver cord now let's read the rest of this she said i watched the silver cord attached to my body i had read about the silver cord in metaphysical literature not the bible it glistened in the air it felt limitless in strength totally elastic always attached to my body my sight came from some kind of spiritual eye it wasn't like seeing with real eyes i soared higher and wondered how far the cord would stretch without snapping the moment i thought about hesitation my soaring stopped i stopped my flight consciously in space i didn't want to go any higher now look at that side thing here's the deception here's your earth curvature deception from a out-of-body experience from a witch as as it was i could see the curvature of the earth oh boy and the darkness on the other side of the globe the space surrounding my spirit was soothing and gentle and pure i began to perceive waves of energy connections and undulating thought energy patterns the silver cord wasn't taught or stretched it only floated gently i directed myself downward back to my body slowly i descended slowly down down gently through the space i wafted back to earth the energy vibrations subsided
the rolling sensations of undulating thought waves disappeared above me and with a soft fusion of contact that felt like a puff i melded back into my body now here's what's interesting i think about this now how many people in the occult world had this experience in the centuries ago but isn't there something that seems similar to this maybe a spacewalk with a tether did the whole idea of space come from astral projection astronauts astral project yeah you see what i'm saying i think that's what they're depicting remember the whole thing the whole idea like the whole idea of space and vast distant galaxies and extraterrestrials came from the real society of the uh in germany in the um late 1800s early 1900s two women who were mediums who were witches who were into the deeply into the cult two women and two men who were freemasons formed this group and these women began to talk about having these out-of-body experiences and communing with these entities who were far off in space remember this is before no one been to space talking about there was these far far away galaxies and people and this vast and this all came from occultists from witches from freemasons and so the real society became a very powerful satanic cult they practiced human sacrifice they worshiped the devil they believe that there was a they believe that there were a race of people that lived under the earth that had the power of the thrill and they were trying to harness the power of the thrill and um hitler's lee all of hitler's top ss officers including one of his best one of these top guys got him into it they were into this very early on and that's why you see within the nazis an obsession with what ufo phenomena ufo trying to trying to duplicate what they the you know the the ufo phenomena they were seeing with technology so what i'm getting at is long before there was quote space travel all this came from a cultist all this came from satanic people um maybe experiencing the same thing sherley had here it's it is a satanic deception space is a satanic deception i think the silver cord the astronauts and
it's just all the same picture it's it's just wild it really is but uh anyway i i do all that because there are many people that have this but let's look at the scripture this is ecclesiastes chapter 12 5 through 7 it talks about this silver cord in relation to the the human spirit of man and death unless somebody said verse five also when they shall be afraid of that which is high and fear shall be in the way and the almond tree shall flourish and the grasshopper shall be a burden and desire shall fail why what's he talking about because man goeth to his long home and the mourners go about the streets so what he's talking about death right and then says this or ever the silver cord be loosed or the golden bowl be broken or the pitcher be broken at the fountain or the wheel broken at the cistern then shall the dust return to the earth as it was and the spirit shall return to god who gave it the silver cord and the spirit and talking about the silver cord ever loose then what happens you did and see the spirit part of you is the life force part of you from god that part's going to return to god the soul is what goes to hell if you die and go to hell and then the body will eventually join it but isn't this interesting i wonder if shirley knew that was in the bible i bet she didn't and then you see this is a little bit of how telekinesis works in witchcraft just so you get an idea because you know a lot of people they understand we we don't witches have power their power is demonic all right but this is showing two different ways like they do stuff i will the table to rise so the soul and the demonic force and they use their spirit body to lift the table up you see which chris angel was good at doing this right but this is how he was doing it right here or sending a demon like this right here like uh mature or whatever this demon is come forth and cause this table to rise five feet above the floor after 30 seconds cause it to float down to the floor of course the demons do it the person doesn't see the demons and they think that the witch has this power that's why demons will go tell witches things and and so they'll think they are fortune tellers and mediums and so on and so forth so that's how it works so this is a huge doorway for people occult practices
satanic meditation um i like that little meme over there people be like i'm spiritual well demons are spiritual too so be more specific demons are spiritual i'm spiritual i'm spiritual without god without jesus oh yeah i'm spiritual oh yeah you're you're spiritual all right you got some spirits working with you uh let's keep going here all right let's look at some of the occult doorways that people open up and things we have to deal with when we're going to deal with deliverance of course astral projection that's the act of creating a demonic link between the soul and spirit by meditation or asking for a spirit guide or allowing someone else to assist you in causing the spiritual body to move outside the physical body sometimes someone who is very powerful in the occult can just lay hands on you and transfer these demons to you and give you the ability to do these things anyway the occult version is controlled by the person at their will and later used by demons then there's seances which is trying to communicate with the dead called necromancy in the bible so any trying to communicate with the dead and listen in roman catholicism praying to mary praying to joseph praying to dead saints yeah well praying to angels praying to angels they'd be more idolatry but trying to communicate with people that have passed on that are dead that's necromancy that's levitation floating off the ground by unseen demonic power or the human spirit mediums people who let spirits speak through them or work through them clairvoyance is just simple as same thing it's just people having perceiving the spirit world but really with demonic power not with the holy spirit of god again necromancy any communication with the spirit of any dead person satanic rituals there's all kinds of satanic rituals human animals sacrifice blood drinking wicked rituals any kind of a goddess worship or nature worship muttering spells conjuring spirits and demons of course one of the ways people do that is with a Ouija board um but there's many many many different ways to do it there's more here cage curses voodoo dolls tarot cards palm reading crystals dividing rods and pendulums water witching people use pendulums to try to predict the sex of a baby uh satanic music black magic white magic or the book of shadows kabbalah which is jewish mysticism with spells astral travel invoking angels you know i told you britney spears has a one of the kabbalah invocations on tattooed on the back of her neck automatic handwriting kiranjo native healer witch docker shaman gurus swami you know letting them touch you pray for you lay hands on you try to heal you any of that that you know you you open the door uh a spirit guide or power demon of course people invite spirits to come in and guide them and give them wisdom and help them

proverbs 18 21 death and life death and life that's pretty powerful stuff it's not like you know baloney and ham are the power of the tongue no death and life are the power of the tongue it's pretty serious stuff and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof so you know freemasons once they start making those oaths um they start to open their mouth about if they do this and that and then this let this happen let that happen and oh man it's it's opens the door to all kinds of demon spirits and um they have to be that sin has to be repented of and confessed to jesus and washed away by the blood of jesus and then you have to bind the demons that came in through those oaths and commanded and leave here's another one this is one i want to talk about a little bit too a doorway this is huge and i say transference of demons by touch and association and there's a really a couple of ways here but let's just look at some of the principles here in scripture it says first timothy 404 neglect not the gift that is in the paul told me which was given the by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the press material so paul says here that laying on a hands transferred the gifts of the holy spirit to you so there's a good aspect of transference impartation paul called it roman's 111 impartation of the gifts of the holy spirit through the laying on a hand laying on of hands is a ministry within the church it's a foundational doctrine laying on of hands for healing laying on of hands for anointing or commissioning people to the ministry laying on of hands for the baptism the holy spirit or for the impartation or transference of the gifts of the spirit paul said here to timothy though lay hands suddenly on no man neither be partaker of other man's sins so again be careful who you lay hands on how many say how many of you think if you need to be careful who you lay hands on that you might need to be careful who you let lay hands on you kind of stands to reason doesn't it goes on to say here be not deceived evil communications corrupt good manners but the word communications here is evil associations all right be careful who you're around a lot because those spirits on them will get off on you this is a fact act six six through seven whom the apostles this is when they chose out the deacons the first deacons says whom they set before the apostles and when they prayed they laid hands on them and the word of god increased and the number of the disciples multiplied in jerusalem and the great company of the priest were obedient to the faith so they laid hands on these these six men or seven men why was it seven nothing and boom i mean immediately stephen starts
doing great signs and wonders among the people and boom next thing you know phillips is an evangelist and what was happening because the apostles laid hands on them to commission them the gifts of the spirit and ministry power was imparted to them um i don't think again and that's a good question i don't believe you can't touch an unsaid person or even an enemy even somebody might be a satanist that's shaking hands no but what's different is is when laying hands on is an act of ministry it would be like if somebody came up to you and said you know can i pray for you and they laid your hand and you submitted to that once you submit to a spiritual a spiritual act and again with intent but yeah i mean if certain people i'd be i i would be uh concerned about but uh i've had people that i ignorantly and stupidly let lay hands on me and i paid for it dearly until i bound the demons that i opened the door to so it's to me it's more of a like letting someone lay hands on you to to pray for you for healing or pray for you about a situation or maybe or even try to prophesy to you there's a lot of false prophets and people out there that want to come up lay hands on you and give you a word and i'm like no thank you don't don't i don't know you don't lay your hands on me don't touch me right um but that's very important and then there's another aspect of this and again just touching on this briefly because we're close to the end here today but this is something too a cult poisoning and i'm just i'm just using this goofer dust thing as an example here this is something that witches do um i actually found some at my house one time on my doorway i was clearly put on my doorway and ran down the sides of my door but a lot of times they they'll do stuff where you can't see it but like this goofer dust means to die to kill the stuff ain't for the faint heart now this is a witchcraft look at the witches of the craft.com so this is what they say tell me what they say all right this stuff ain't for the faint hearted goofer dust is used to cause harm and illness but can also be used to create domination over a loved one be under no illusions as far as i'm aware goofer dust is only ever used to cause harm some of the ingredients you can use in goofer dust are graveyard dirt dried ground snake skin sulfur salt ash ground bones powdered insects herbs mulling work as well i don't even know what that is melaine anyone know what that is never heard of it spices black or red pepper magnetic sand dried manure goofer dust is used in the same way
it's hot foot powder it's foot track magic sprinkled the powder in the path of an enemy the goofer dust is then taken up through the feet to do its work again as with all powders it can be utilized by sprinkling on the victim's clothing or bedding or added to a mojo bag or bottle and buried on their property so what they're talking about too is something that the occult world will try to put in your path or in your clothes or your bed i've seen it on my car so that you touch it come into contact with it and yes it can open up the door for demonic attack so i've dealt with that too i usually deal with it as it arises um but that's just something to be aware of the witches and Satanists are always trying to do things to get us to be a participant kind of in their stuff and it's just something to be aware of it's not something frequently that's going to happen but it can be a source of problems sometimes right now i found the stuff washed it off my door broke their curses and spells in Jesus name broke it off of me and rebuked it and i didn't have any problem you see i'm still here no harm or illness or anything like that but again don't be passive about this stuff when you if you perceive either by something you see visually like that or the Lord just speaks to you and says you know they're doing a b and c well just in Jesus name bind the demons there there of you know i break i bind their spirits of death and murder and destruction and i break their curses and rituals off of me all the time um don't be ignorant of their devices i mean and so i take an active stance on this i don't think we should ever be passive i think uh if we have knowledge and especially if we know like i know i know i'm the constant target of curses and spells and even the the curses and negative words of other Christians um it's not just witches and satanists and cabalists and enemies it can be the mouths of Christians speaking against you they get bitterness or offended or they some they're deceived in some way and they want to you know they start disliking you and they start speaking against you um so anyway this is just part of spiritual warfare you just need to get it you know get a hold of all this so anyway that gives you kind of a little breakdown i'm not gonna i'm not gonna belabor the point today because it's already 11 o'clock but we um you got at least you got a little idea of the open doorways and again this is not exhaustive i mean i you know i didn't cover every single false religion in the world or every single occult ritual i mean we didn't even talk about you know like you guys your mom and sister at one time before she got saved was into
santoria which is uh you know your latin islands version of uh you know mixture of voodoo and roman catholicism witchcraft and um so i mean there's so many different ones i mean i was i've been to africa so i've seen african voodoo and shaman priests doing their thing on the street um you know i couldn't even i tried to go to stores and buy something in africa and everything i picked up i could feel the demonic power on it because they had put curses on the stuff and i'm like i don't take any of this home and what was funny is i took the the bishop that i went over with and to teach in the seminary and then to preach if i was there for a month um you know he sent he couldn't go with me that day so he sent me with his son and his sister who was not a christian but the son was but they sent me out then you know to take me to all these different shops and i kept walking through and i said nope i said i feel the demons on this put it down and she's just watching me the whole time i'm going to another store and i pick up i mean i picked up one like this giraffe just carved giraffe and i was like this has got to be safe and i pick it i could feel the demonic power coming off of it and i said nope and then finally i just said look there's enough of this i'm not buying any of this stuff because it's all cursed she this is what she said she said i know you're a man of god now she said because i know these people i know these shop owners and they all go to take all of their merchandise they get the voodoo priest to come in and curse it all to make to put spells on it to make people buy their stuff and then those spirits go home with you she said that she said i know you i said just go by what the holy spirit told me i even got rid of the one thing they gave me to bring home that they gave me the christians gave me i was like i was nice i didn't say anything bad but when i got home it went in the garbage because it had just had a bad spirit coming off of another slide so you just got to be sensitive to the lord discerning there's a whole lot of stuff out there just like we had to find out about essential oils not too long ago everybody thinks that's great but we found out especially the ones coming from the mormon companies like deuterra and young's living and we found out the voodoo that's on all that and all the stuff and you know when you start saying an oil if you put this oil on you this super peppermint lavender it's going to help you forgive people wrongo you know or this is going to give you a higher awareness of the spiritual realm
wrongo no it's oil right oh it's natural really you've crushed it out of these plants and concentrated it 500 times more than it's supposed to be got yeah that's natural yeah yeah right um you know there's a spiritual aspect to this and um so you got to be aware let me tell you something and just let everybody know out there stuff like any any alternative healing methods like whether it's essential oils or um acupuncture acupuncture anything asian stay away from it anything native american stay away from it it's spiritualism it's it's paganism um you know and then i saw these people these people now they're smoking dmt i mean it's become well joe rogan's helping making it popular again but people are having these experiences after you know smoking some dmt and they think they're they're they're having spiritual experiences well i'm gonna tell you they are just not on the right side i mean they are literally the moment they do it the word sorcery pharmacia it's using drugs or potions it says that that's the definition of sorcery in the bible pharmacia drugs and potions and medicines we have to be very careful in this and don't get me wrong people say oh well pastor dean the the uh the you know the secular approved um pharmacies and drugs that the hospitals and doctors prescribe i said yeah 90 99 of that you have to stay away from too i mean uh if it just should really be everything we should pray very much over and be very careful and be listening to the lord and not just accept anything is oh somebody comes along said well i did such and such and it made me feel better just because somebody had a good result from something doesn't mean it's not demonic there is there is such thing as demonic healing and demonic manipulation i mean we could tell we could tell the story of you know christian parents asthma taking him to get acupuncture uh and the asthma left but another demon came that caused uh terrible fits of rage and temper and i remember when your parents found out that was a no-no and that opened the door for a demon and i'm like come and pray for my boy about this and we just calmly sat down and said they had repented over the acupuncture bound the demon they came in through acupuncture that was causing these fits of rage and
and uh left never had another one you know it's not complicated but just something that simple now did his asthma go from the accurate yeah it did but see what is it what it was it this is this is how demonic healing work the demon didn't leave it just stopped giving you asthma and started giving you fits of rage and violence i mean your his dad's a marine and couldn't hardly control him when he was a little fella when he was having these things so it's a serious stuff don't play with alternative medicines trust you know here's the thing here's a novel idea especially for christians how about trusting god to be your healer well he hadn't healed me yet well maybe you just need to be patient and maybe you need to wait maybe you need to just trust him and pray and believe and do some things maybe you need to do maybe you need some deliverance in the mirror maybe you need to find a church that believes in healing and let them anoint you with oil and pray for you why don't you trust god instead of trusting the herbalist you know your neighborhood your friendly neighborhood asian uh you know reiki dealer or what anyway all right let's pray and we're gonna dismiss class involving him we thank you for this day we thank you for your word god thank you for teaching us and lord i think you're teaching me about it because i needed it bad teaching me about deliverance many many years ago and the blessing and the change and freedom and the peace and the joy and the strength that brought in my life and i pray god that any of our students that they have not done this been through this for themselves that they will do it and that lord they will also be equipped to help others that need deliverance and healing and freedom from demonic strongholds and i pray this in jesus name amen all right class dismissed
