How to keep your freedom in Jesus
Deliverance is based on Jesus having been given Lordship of your life. Therefore, Satan no longer has the right to rule in any area(s) given to Jesus. Anything over which Jesus is not Lord, Satan can use or attack at his pleasure (but even then Jesus limits the attack so that you are not destroyed). Anything over which Jesus is Lord, Satan can only attack with the permission of Jesus. So ensure Jesus is Lord of every area of your life.
Spending Time with God Each Day
To get to know someone you must spend time with them or study about them. The following suggestions are provided to help you in this. These are best done early each day. Jesus found it necessary to meet with His Father first thing in the morning (Mark 1:35) how much more so should we. A short time of prayer and Bible reading is recommended. It is also recommended to meditate on the Bible selection read during the day as you travel or walk about.
Meditation is looking at a different facets of passage from your daily Bible reading or other Biblical source with a view to applying it to your life. You will grow as you meditate on scripture and not just by reading it. Reading it just gives you head knowledge. Meditation makes it a part of your life as does memorizing scripture to meditate on each day.
Each day greet The Father, Jesus and The Holy Spirit as soon as you wake and commit the day to them. The last thing you should do at night is say ‘good night’ to them and commit yourself to their care.
I personally Thank The Father for His angels that minister to me and protect me, The Holy Spirit for His guidance and protection of my mind and Jesus for being near me so Satan will not come near me.
The Truths of Jesus
You need to know the Truths Jesus taught so you can fight the lies of Satan. In the same way, you also need to know God’s will for you so Satan cannot distract you from it. Finally, you need to know God’s Love for you, His complete control of your circumstances, His promises of protection and provision for you to be able to trust Him in the trials that will come.
This means you need to study the Bible and meditate on it so that you can know about Jesus and apply it to your life serving Jesus as He wants you too.
Guilt, Shame and Condemnation
Satan will try to place these on you to keep you in bondage to him, but the promise of Jesus is that these were all dealt with at Calvary. No longer are we under spiritual guilt, condemnation or judgment over our sins. Colossians 2:13-16 states our present situation. We may still have to work through the physical consequences of our sin but Jesus will help us in this.
There is no more guilt, condemnation, or shame as a result of Calvary. So when you sin, any of these you feel after you repent of the sin is coming from demons which should be sent to the abyss in Jesus Name. Jesus expects you to try and defeat temptation, but He knows we are not perfect and may fail from time to time. All He asks is that you repent and continue to try and make Him Lord of your life and that you keep trying not to sin.
Citizen of The Father’s Kingdom
You are a citizen of the Father’s Kingdom with Jesus as your Lord. You need to learn your relationships, rights, rewards and responsibilities so you can function effectively as a citizen of this Kingdom. These are found in the Bible as interpreted by The Holy Spirit so you need to know your Bible as well as how to hear The Holy Spirit so you can hear his personal teaching to you.
You are the representative of this Kingdom on earth and you need to know what to do as its representative. You become a faithful servant, by knowing His will and then doing it.
Each day, as you walk about, talk to The Holy Spirit. You are in a relationship with Him, and since He is a person, you can develop your relationship through talking to Him and discussing things with Him. He promises to guide you into all Truth so when you have a problem, talk it over with Him. Remember also to listen to Him as it is a dialogue not a monologue.
Encourage one another and help one another
In all you do show God’s Love, then your obedience will be complete. If we fail, remember all guilt, shame, and condemnation were dealt with at Calvary, so if you feel any of these emotions are being placed there by demon(s) tell the offending demon(s) to go in Jesus’ Name to the abyss.
God requires you to wholeheartedly try and obey Him. He knows we are imperfect and will fail, but sin, shame, condemnation and judgment were dealt with at Calvary so when we fall (sin) we claim this and pick ourselves up and keep going (Luke 9:62) We look not at our failings but at the hope we have in Him - the Author and Finisher of our faith.
Summary of the attitudes you should have as a Christian
God is Love so this Love needs to be in all we do if we are to be like Him. It is one of the two commandments He left with us and living in love and obedience shows we belong to Him. John 13:34.35 says
A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
We should also show the results of this type of love in our life. Gal 5:22,23 says:
The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Note that all these fruit flow from God’s Love in you.
Our objective should also be to seek the furtherance of His Kingdom and to be in a correct (righteous) relationship with Him (Mat 6:32-34). As we do this we obey Jesus and do not need to worry about the future as he promises to provide all we need to do His work and survive. So we are not to worry as that says Jesus will not or cannot do what He has said in Mat 6:32-34 and calls Him a liar. You see, as we obey Him in all we do we walk in the plan He has for us He and takes care of all things necessary for us living and for growing into His image so He can use as He wants to use us as well as fulfilling any prophecy we have been given for our life as we are where we should be for it to be fulfilled.
We should offer ourselves to Jesus as a living sacrifice, being willing to die to (remove) all that is not necessary in our lives. This allows Him to refine us to be more like Him and grow as a follower of Him (Rom 12:1-3). We should also seek the things of Jesus as they are of far more worth and value than the things of earth that Satan offers you (Col 3:1-3).
In doing this we must believe it is worth all the effort, that God will reward you at the end of a trial and then in heaven. In fact one of the requirements of faith is to believe he will reward you (Heb 11:6).
As you are led by The Holy Spirit in all things you will walk in obedience as an adopted child of The Father. Both are necessary to your lifestyle as a Christian and to have all the benefits Jesus had when He walked on earth as a son of God’.
Remember you are never given more than you can handle (1 Cor 10:13).
God never asks you to do anything He has not prepared you for and will help you go through any trial He gives you and to learn the lessons He wants you to learn through that trial. If he did not do this He would not be a God of Love. If you take the first step in the trial Jesus will help you with the rest of the walk in the trial.
I remind you of the Five Steps to help you fight the devil and also that Jesus said He will never leave you or forsake you so if He seems far away you can guess who moved.
Phi 4:6-8 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God which passes all understanding shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, my brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are right, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue and if there is any praise, think on these things.
1 Pet 5:7 Cast all your worries, anxieties and burdens on Jesus for He cares for you because He loves you
God’s Plan for your life is perfect
God has a perfect plan for your life. All you have to do is be obedient in all He asks you to do and you will walk in the centre of this plan. Mat 6:33 and Rom 8:28 will apply to all you do.
Each day pray as follows
In Jesus’ Name I forbid any spirit of darkness, who has no right to from attacking or using in any way, myself, my family, my friends, people I am helping or have helped or anything of which we are stewards of or are using for The Kingdom and In Jesus Name I forbid any demon from using anyone to attack me or my family.
In Jesus’ Name I command any demons that are blocking any of us from hearing the Truths The Holy Spirit or Jesus wants us to hear and understand, to go immediately to the abyss. I ask You, Holy Spirit, to take their place.
Lord, help me to be thankful, appreciative, and content today in all that happens, to love and appreciate others as You do and to show me where I can serve You as You want me to.
Conclusion
The Christian life is a decision you make. If you seek to live it as you should, Jesus will give you all the help He can. If you are only half-hearted then you will be at the mercy of Satan in the areas you have not Given to Jesus.
It is solely your responsibility as it is solely you who decides to accept Satan’s suggestions and sin or accept God’s suggestions to resist the sin and grow in His love and Grace.
This little booklet is a summary of some basic areas of our Christian faith. More can be found in my books on Christian living.
Remember, The Holy Spirit is your teacher (although He will also use godly people at times) so you should learn to listen to Him and to learn from Him as He is always there to help and teach you what you need to know at that moment of time and has been given by Jesus to guide, direct and mature you into the image of God. But the only person who can do your side of this partnership with God is you.
