 Just wanted to read from Proverbs 18 and verse 7 probably 6 and 7 It says a fool's lips enter into contention and his mouth calls for blows Where seven is a fool's mouth is his destruction and his lips are the snare of his soul Okay, just want us to focus on verse 7 says a fool's mouth is his destruction And notice the second part of it and his lips are the snare of his soul meaning obviously it's talking about the words being spoken and Unwise of foolish words being spoken and how it affects, you know Causes a quarrel or even a fight So a fool's mouth is his destruction and the lips are the snare of his soul meaning it's a trap Snare we know it's a trap Trap Which we used to kind of capture animals or you know, whatever So it says that lips are the snare change the words that we speak are a trap for our soul You know, whatever happens in our in the soul realm The words thoughts imaginations everything the words that we speak are a snare Okay, so so obviously it's in a the next connotation is negative. It's like a snare for the soul So our thinking and everything gets Trapped by the words that we speak, but if you just flip that around And look at it in a in a positive way, you see that the lips are a snare for the soul Yeah, it is a it is a snare, but it captures Something good, right? It is when we speak the things that are wholesome identifying And when we speak the truth declare the truth irrespective of You know what we see in the natural Of the circumstances we speak the word of truth speak maybe prophetic words that have been spoken over us sing those Things over us. It is a snare for the soul the same way the soul or mind trapped those things Imaginations and thoughts and thought patterns The same it's going to snare or trap the good things, right the positive things the faith filled Faithful imaginations are renewed thought patterns and imaginations and so on so So when we look at it, you know, there's something powerful that the words that we're speaking are actually trapping, you know It's like a it's like a fly catcher. It's like a trap It's like a net if you want to call it that you know, if you want to look at it that way and net to capture those Emotions and thoughts and imaginations So so yeah, just wanted to share that that we be mindful of that as we are, you know talking about the soul realm and Emotional wholeness inner wholeness and so on. It's so very important That we consider the words that we speak just another reminder for us, right? So let's let's pray on those lines father. What God we thank you that The words that we speak are a snare or a net or a trap for our soul Oh God, so thank you for reminding us of that Lord and Lord Maybe intentionally speak words that are faithful the words that you have spoken over us God Lord the promises that we see Lord in your word father God that you have quickened to our hearts Lord now Maybe maybe just speak them over our lives Maybe just declare them over our lives over and over again or father God and may our thoughts may our emotions God may our Imaginations Lord be captured Lord be brought captive God to those words father God and Yeah, let's just take some time to just speak those words. You know, we've got a spoken over us And whatever we have read in scripture No, maybe it would be specific things that God the goddess spoken over you and says you will be this You know, you will be the head and not the tail or you will be a voice to the nation or you will be Souls of influence and impact You know in this place just speak that over your life. Yes, I will be because God has said so Hallelujah, we thank you. We thank you. We bless your name Jesus. We bless your name Jesus We thank you for the power Lord of your word that your word is eternal. Oh God and we speak your word God Yes, oh God, you have spoken Lord You said oh God that we are the righteousness of God in Christ and we and we say amen to that and they say I am I say I am the righteousness of God in Christ. I am a new creation. Yes, Lord. Thank you, Father God I am being led in a triumphant possession in Christ Jesus in every circumstance in every situation Hallelujah. We thank you. We thank you right bless your name God. I thank you Lord. Thank you I am more than a conqueror. Oh God In all the circumstances I am more than a conqueror through you. Oh for God Hallelujah Blessed be your name. Yes, Lord your word declares that Lord sin shall not have dominion over me. Oh God. And so I do declare even right now sin shall not have Dominion over me Hallelujah Lord we do declare even right now that that you are able to do exceedingly Abundantly above all that we can ask or think. Oh God. Yes, Lord Then we declare that yes for me. Oh God You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that I can ask or imagine God through your power Power of your spirit that is at work in me. Thank you. Thank you. I thank you. Bless your name. God. You. Thank you, Father God. Thank you. Yes, Lord We pray. Oh God that we will be propelled the mood forward God by what is happening in our soul Oh God, you know, yes, we move to action. We move to positive things a faithful things, Father God Even today, even right now, God, we thank you Jesus name. We pray amen. Amen Okay So it's yeah, it's very important that we we've been talking about the things that actually You know cause these problems and we looked at wrong thinking wrong mindsets Wrong believing and then we looked at words wrong speaking wrong words Then also we've also looked at continual deep-seated sin, right? We repeated sin which opens the door to the demonic influence And so on it's a lot of noise in the background. Okay Okay, let me just double check that one second No, but it's good It's okay. So it's okay. Yeah, okay. Okay. All right. There is also Okay, probably you can check Divya something that's happening there. I can actually click The noise cancellation also And there's a muffler at the mic person. Maybe that's the thing This now now is it okay? It's How is it now? Yeah, I think it's better better. Okay. I just clicked on the noise cancellation. Okay, great Okay, maybe I'll just switch off these Okay, is that okay? I think some ambient noise would have gone Okay Right. So we're looking at You know, some of these things which cause problems. Okay um, so the fourth one is Trauma and adverse circumstances like trauma meaning, you know, something A traumatic experience something that jolts us Something that causes shock and pain and you know this We see that Yeah, that also affects us emotionally affects the inner person, right and Well, we we may be aware of it We may may not be aware of it. So that's the thing, you know, it's something so deep rooted something that has happened a long time back and I think as sharing about that experience that I had about You know that problem The experience that I had been as in in school and That music competition I sang and then You know just shared about that, right? So, uh, okay, that was Uh, even There's not a very serious thing, but actually set me back So I didn't want to you know sing or pick up the guitar for For some time first for at least four or five years, right? So So that happened So it can be something even more traumatic Right something maybe like physical abuse, maybe, um, you know emotional abuse Something that's of course Maybe the death of a loved one the sudden shocking death of a loved one and All these things right and something that happened to us You know physical abuse or sexual abuse So these could cause a lot of trauma But the good thing is again, um, you know, even before we couldn't look at a lot of negative things But the good thing is that we can actually be emotionally made whole right? There is healing. There is restoration in christ and the finished work of the cross is more than More than uh enough For us to receive healing and wholeness, right? So, uh, let's look at one more. Uh, let's move on to the next one, which is Which is involvement in occult and false religions Hey, there is a involvement by anyone in the occult of When we say occult occult, we're talking about, uh, you know dealing with the spiritual realm But spiritual realm in the sense there's evil spirits or powers of darkness um, so when there is a when there is intentional involvement in occult then uh, obviously we open the door intentionally for the enemy to come in and and Have a deep-seated root And for in a demonic influence and so even as believers when we do that intentionally, you know, we are We are actually opening our lives for demonic influence demonic oppression, right? So we need to be we need to be aware. We need to be careful The thing is the greater one is in us. You know, we are more than conquerors, right through him so and we and The greater one is in us so The thing is that the only way that the enemy can have an upper hand is Of course, if we give the right to do that we give the Judicial ground, right? We give the right to do for the enemy to come in and and take Take the place and also through fear and intimidation, you know We are fearful and we are intimidated and and and therefore the enemy Takes, you know, takes the upper hand So if you look at one Corinthians 10 and verse 29 29 sorry 19 to 20 one one good is nine 10 19 So paul is here talking about the whole You know aspect of idolatry and also he's talking about the communion. Maybe he's talking about Communion the body of Christ. He's talking about the cup of blessing and so on and in that he's actually comparing that with The the people actually the current church believers either knowingly or knowingly being part of Idol worship and of those times they were actually a meal. It was actually a meal So they would be invited to the altar of that how typically an invitation would go The altar of you know, you put the deity there The name of the deity and then the altar so it'll it'll be that ritual and culminating in a lot of horrible things like you know sexual immorality and and then you know eating of It'll end up in a meal eating and drinking and so on So paul is talking about that and verse 19 He's saying what am I saying then that an idol is anything or what is offered to idols is anything He's saying no, no, we know that all idol is nothing compared to The the power and the and the victory that the Lord has won for us. So on the cross. So an idol is it's nothing, right? But he also goes on to say rather that the things which is gentile sacrifice They sacrifice to demons and not to God and I do not want you to have fellowship with Demons, right? You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons You cannot partake of the Lord's table and of the table of demons So it was actually part of the worship. So he's he's talking about that It's not like food almost offered to idol is going to trap you or you're going to be, you know instantly when you eat it It's it's it's not that it's it's not that but the fact is that you're fellow shipping with demons As you go through the entire process and you know, you're you're actually Going and being part of this whole thing And so you're fellow shipping commuting and receiving from demons, right? So I do not want you to be part of that. So involvement in occult and false religions. There could be many other practices So these would lead to you know to be a We opening our lives opening our soul to a demonic influence and oppression Well, let's look at you know, what the Lord says the autonomy seven And verse 25 Right You shall burn the carved images of their gods with fire You shall not covet the silver or gold that is on them not take it for yourselves Lest you be slared by it Okay, okay Trapped by it for it is an abomination to the Lord your God verse 26 Nor shall you bring an abomination into your house Lest you be doomed destruction like it you shall utterly dessert Detest it and utterly abhor it for it's an occurs thing. Okay. So he's talking about um, you know maybe Articles of worship or carved images and so on. So the Lord is actually giving this instruction to the Israelites and we see a similar instruction in Deuteronomy 18 Deuteronomy 18 and Verse nine Deuteronomy 18 verse nine And when you come into the land with the Lord is Lord your God is giving you you shall not learn to follow the abominations of those nations. So practices principles The religious practices at principles and customs and so on. So you shall not learn to follow the abominations and goes on to Talk about certain things which were found in those days, you know, they shall not be found among you Anyone who makes a son or his daughter pass through the fire Or one who practices witchcraft or a soothsayer or one who interprets omens or a sorcerer one who conjures Spells or a medium or a spiritist or one who calls up the dead For all who do these things are an abomination to the Lord because of these abominations The Lord your God drives them out before you you shall be blameless before the Lord your God for these nations Which you shall dispossess Listened to soothsayers and diviners but as for you the Lord your God has not appointed such for you so very clear that The reason Why the Lord detests is this that you know, the Lord does not want any of his sons and daughters to have communion with fellowship with demon experts because demon experts the only agenda is to steal kill and destroy And they deceive and oppress and and bring people To destruction. So that's the and that's the thing and it's we know it's it's a substitute for God, right? Or idolatry is a substitute for God So we also know that You know, like all these articles the demons can actually attach themselves to it. So So we can cleanse A house and if if the Lord shows okay something, you know, you feel uncomfortable about something It's better to err on this side and say, okay God, you know, I'm not going to bring it into my house or Keep it in in my house, right? so involvement in occult and false religions again our Ancestral commitments and practices because we are going to be, you know, you'll be learning more about this and healing and deliverance if you've already not done so. So That's a little commitments and practices, which means if there are any dedications that have been done For maybe even your babies or maybe the toddlers or that happens, right? maybe the family was in engaged in practices and And then that opens the door for our lives in our lives for the demonic attachments and demonic oppression and influence so Also happening across generations and so on. So the thing is this that well The question that you might ask is but I'm a believer now I'm a believer now and What about the completed work of the Lord on the cross? Yes Completed work of the cross is more than sufficient. So we just need to You know enforce that on our lives And if knowingly unknowingly something has been Some dedication has been done. We we just Break that off Okay, we see some recurring thing in our lives if you see some Some areas of bondage and oppression We break that we break that off and say no No more we will not tolerate this. Now. This is broken off the finished work of the cross We enforce that and we you know, uh, actually we we declare and enforce the finished work of the cross in In in the sacraments of the church, right? And we we take what about the sin? We are actually proclaiming that we are dead to The works of darkness dead to sin and we are alive in christ and we are a purchase position We belong to jesus, right and we take what about the sin? The other thing is also the lord stable communion every time we we take part. We are actually Declaring that we are saying yes This is this is what it is. This was what the Christ this is what the lord jesus has done for me on the on the cross and therefore I am born again. I belong to him His blood was shed cleanses me His body that was nailed to the cross, you know that perfect sacrifice So we are declaring proclaiming the finished work of the cross every time so we can we can actually enforce that And and declare that whatever dedication was done If you know it then we can declare that null and void And if you see those patterns in our lives, right? If you see those patterns, I'm I'm prone to this or I'm drawn to these things. I'm oppressed by these things. We You know break that intentionally Right. Okay. So, uh, yeah, uh, more information. Uh, if you've not read the the book, uh, all people's church publication Breaking personal and generational bondages, you know, it's a useful helpful book. You can go through that as well Okay, so curses same, you know, uh As curses are what is a curse? It's a negative blessing Like a blessing is pronounced and we bless number six talks about You know, the the lord jesus the lord god instituting and and saying, okay, this is how You know, you priests will bless my people. This is how you bless and then, you know, we know the priestly blessing right number six 24 talks about that so The same way, uh, these words are supposed to, you know, bless and speak good things and open up our lives to the good things um hand of god over our lives uh A curse is a negative thing like a curse is something that is Uh, that is meant to open the door for The work of the enemy now Curse like in problems that we see a curse without a cause will not alight There's no And for a child of god, you know, there's no curse But we don't have to be fearful. We don't have to be afraid Right, uh, we don't have to Fear these things Uh, maybe we see someone and then they are, you know, speaking a curse or whatever Um Uh, we don't have to be afraid of it. We don't have to be fearful Okay, um, so uh But that also, you know, if if it is a curse it can also Uh Have the negative thing over us. So, okay, maybe there's someone else who's speaking and we know, you know, we rejected We, uh, we, uh, you know, we speak of blessing over our lives. We consecrate ourselves But many times we speak Negative things like over ourselves. We speak the curse Over ourselves. So we need to be careful of that um, because the You know, the work of the enemy is to Is to actually demonically Energize those those words that we speak over our lives so, uh Yeah, so that is what we see that they they tend to come and create confusion and uh, and bring about If you look at john 1010 talks about the enemy comes to steal kill and destroy Right to steal our joy to steal our sense of peace and uh and destroy all the things that That we we actually have been built up or god has been building up in our lives So how do these, uh You know Evil spirits or powers of darkness gain access. It's through one of these things Right, um, they gain access through Like we were looking at it's a it's a curse that we speak over ourselves They gain access Um through dedications. They gain access to if it's a continual sin. We're opening up our lives They gain access to it, right? So so these are things to be mindful of Um Okay, so we you can go through this in the notes while, you know, this is being dealt with in a in detail in our healing and deliverance Uh class The difference between possession and oppression. Okay, but very quickly just to let us know that In the greek we we see the word The the greek word which is used there it says, um You know, there is no distinction between possession or oppression, right? So it just means Being demonized So that is you know, just wanted to mention that demonized so In the english, of course, we make their distinction possession and oppression. So, um, there are different levels of demonization Which means these Plows of darkness gain access and then different levels to which they demonize influence Right, um, when we say if they could influence they could oppress They could also possess Right and in the english we use that word where complete control over a person a person is unable to control oneself, but It is the demons have gained complete control over a person. So, um, So that complete control we know happens to someone who Who does not, uh, you know, who was not received the lord As lord and savior or maybe, you know, someone who is Who does not jesus who is was not uh, no not to receive the lord as lord and savior the lord is not the lord of their lives so the The possibility of losing complete control to the Work of the enemy like to be possessed right to be demonized to that extent But as believers, you know, like we've been seeing all these All these examples the way we our soul can be troubled our soul can be ensnared We can be oppressed or influenced Are demonized to that degree right Maybe someone is in You know some continual sin, you know something like pornography, maybe And they're going back to it over and over again. So so well, they're opening up their lives to be demonized And uh, there's an oppression in that area and oppression in their soul in in it might, uh, maybe, uh, manifest itself in terms of Maybe not being able to focus not being able to You know sit down and pray and and compulsive thoughts and imaginations and strongholds right so So these things could happen and it's, uh Uh, the influence to that degree right so whereas for, uh What a believer We know that we cannot lose complete control, but it'll just one area in our lives right So that possibility, uh, is there right So we look at that Let me just Yeah, okay. Let's look at some symptoms of demonic activity, you know, or there's oppression Overpowering overbearing This torment There is a continual trouble and disturbance There's enslaving or compulsive, you know thoughts and behavior And you know and people actually doing things against their own will right And getting stirred up again getting disturbed during height and You know spiritual activity like prayer or worship or You know, there's some ministry that's happening preaching that's happening and and getting stirred up and disturbed and Something happening within emotionally getting Troubled so we know that those are symptoms of demonic activity And also, you know, there's no known reason Not able to identify what reason but there is some kind of a Problem, whether physically or emotionally and everybody says it's fine. So these things are fine We've done all the routine checkup and exam examined and there's Things seems to be fine. There's no reason why this person should be going through these kind of things physically or emotionally and and That is also an indicator of demonic Operation right so so we know that these are indicators and how we need to stand in prayer or minister in prayer and counsel Person who's going through that? Okay so Any questions here before we go into the pitfalls to avoid any questions Okay Okay, let's look at the pitfalls and then if you have any other questions pitfalls to avoid Then if you have any other questions, you can ask as well. Okay some some things to avoid. Okay, um, so while we While we need to be careful like we cannot say that every problem Related to the physical or emotional Over that particular circumstance. We cannot say that everything is because of demons, right? So that's a mistake People can make okay. It's because of that demon because this demon um, and we need to understand that This cause and effect like in the sense that uh, well, I I did something I left the I forgot to lock the head though of Whatever the car and I left some things inside and then people you know, something's not stolen. So there's I can't blame and say okay the demon did it right so We need to take Responsibility for our own actions. Okay, so that but having said that We should also avoid ignoring the work of demons. We can either err on these sites. I'm saying that okay Everything is demonic and then going to the other extreme and say, okay, nothing is demonic, right? So there's no demonic source at all But we need to understand we need to turn and say, okay, this has a spiritual fermentation This this could be demonic. So it has to be dealt with okay this Uh, a little bit about Deliverance Don't draw attention to yourself if you're praying in ministering um, we all have the authority to cast out Demons to deal with uh, you know either in our own lives if they are If you sense that okay, there is seems to be a foothold um In our own lives or in the lives of other people or in a particular Situation like we have been given the authority A luke 10 and verse 19 Uh talks about the authority that we have been given in christ We have we are seated with christ efficiency to Talks about how we are seated with him in heavenly places. So we have been given the authority in the commissioning Of the disciples. We see that the lord jesus is saying, okay, this is what those who believe in me will do They will cast out demons. So we have been given the authority By the lord jesus himself. We've been commissioned. So we use that authority, okay, so In ministering to people we do it in humility In but with confidence and with the authority that is given us. So We don't have to draw attention to ourselves. We don't have to put on You know great drama or act, but we can just do what needs to be done Right and stay humble and know that it is the lord who does it And it is his power in us that That casts out the demons, right? so step in do that and And grow in that area as well. We don't have to you know, like Give that to some specialists So we grow in authority. We grow in influence. We grow in authority Understand that the lord has given it to us as a child as a child of god And we can actually walk in this authority and it is for us to use right, so We step up and do it Okay, so any any questions here? No questions at all Um, I don't see anything on the chat as well. So Okay Okay, moving forward right Looking at the third chapter the restore the restoration or Restoring of our soul. What is the basis for that? What's the basis for a healing and deliverance? um What is the basis for even praying for healing and praying for restoration of our soul? What is the basis for that? So we're going to look at a couple of things, right? Just a minute, please Yeah, so we're going to look at part one is um What is the basis for our healing and part two is receiving healing and deliverance? We're going to actually look at that and then we look at you know journey Into emotional hold on so we are looking at the realm of the so Okay, so the basis for our healing and deliverance, you know What how can we you know completely base? What can we base it on? Okay, the word of god especially obviously But we need to be sure Okay, you need to be sure that this is what god wants for me because if you are not sure That we will not pray in faith Okay, I mean this is the basic thing and I'm sure that You know you you we all know it The fact is this If there's some Area of doubt Maybe the lord is causing this Maybe god wants me to go through this um Maybe I should just accept it, you know, whatever Uh problems i'm having um Or whatever problems that the other person is going through in the in the realm of their soul If we If we have to if we come to any of those conclusions, maybe I should just accept it Maybe I should just maybe god wants me to go through this. Maybe god is teaching me a lesson right if If we are coming to any if we entertain any such conclusions then we We will not and we cannot stand in faith and pray And we will not even take that initiative to step into those To step into that realm of faith and and pray Like we will we will just hold back right So that is why we need to know, you know, is there a basis for this If we need to pray for restoration of our soul if we need to take those steps um Is there a basis is there a biblical basis for it and we need to be sure of it Like we need to be strong in it and say Yeah, this is what the word of god says and therefore Based on that foundation, you know, I'm taking these steps right So one of the things that we see is we're going back to where we started like once this one is five and Which you know, we talked about the makeup of man and we talked about the spirit soul and body so when we when we study that when we look at that verse we see that Yeah, once this one is five and verse 23 now may the god of peace himself sanctify you completely Okay, so this all is praying and they can't do this for you May him may the lord Of shalom or peace right sanctify you completely and may your whole spirit soul and body Be preserved blameless at the coming of our lord jesus christ right may your whole spirit soul and body something that is you know Without blemish So may your whole spirit soul and body something that is uh, you know um something that can be preserved guarded protected And uh saying may it be preserved blameless at the coming of our lord so when we look at this we normally think about Something that is tainted with sin, right? So it's it's because it's yeah, obviously that's true because it says a may may may sanctify you May you know consecrate and keep you separate right may may May the lord of peace sanctify you completely Yes, it talks about sanctification and walking in his ways in holiness and and knowing how to Really hold our ourselves our bodies and in sanctification and honor Purity yes, there's a big part of it. But also When he when he looks when we look at this we see that you know may your whole spirit soul And body be preserved blameless. So the spirit ram The our spirit our human spirit our soul and our body. So god's desire is this That it will be preserved blameless. Okay question. God is omniscient. He's sovereign So anything a person goes through or about to goes go through god knows already So then can abuse and trauma be stopped from happening by godly intervention and does that happen? Okay, so again, we are this question of you know, the sovereignty of god that gods will versus The the free will of man So Obviously god is a good god god is You know all knowing all powerful and he is the lord of all So there is also the you know the action of man Right, so we need to look at both. God has given us As free model agents. He's given us the ability to choose. Okay, so when we look at let's say Tra trauma abuse it is it is the chore, you know, it is the action of man You know someone else decided land and did this it can god Protect yes, he does can god forewarners. Yes, he does Right, but do these things happen and today, you know Maybe, you know, there are too many factors, right? Maybe god god did speak and I didn't obey you know and too many things, right Maybe god did one and maybe at that time I was not even a You know believer. I was not even bought again So god does protect Uh, but it also, you know, we also know that there is the free man as is a free Model agent man is a free model agent So that and the question, you know, like, you know, why is there suffering in the world? God is sovereign, you know, why is there suffering in the world? I call that why is this and why is this something, you know? So the the reason is this that man is So I'm sorry man is has a free will so man's action has consequences Um, then we also know that it could be my own consequences, right? As a that's as a person who went through the suffering Sometimes it's my own consequence a consequence of my own action, right? Um, that is also a possibility. The third one is also because of um, because satan is One who was a deceiver one who's a murderer is a is a tempter Right, uh, steel kills and destroys so um, so That is the third one and of course the fourth one is You know others actions So these are you know, these are things that happen and then uh Yes, uh, god does intervene god does want but but these these things happen for various other reasons as well Right Yeah, hope that helps live here any further Yeah, okay. Yeah, sometimes so So the but the good thing is this, you know, no matter what horrible trauma abuse a person has gone through And what kind of you know the kind of damage that they've You know experience um There's always a way out. There is always Healing and restoration Right Because of the finished work of the cross there is always And the lord can and will and does bring them to that place where And their life becomes a testimony and uh, you know, they are voice of hope for people And people will hear them and say, okay, I can relate to that And uh, even I want to come back to that Maybe they're in that hopeless state With their hope is revived faith is restored and they can They are healed to that extent then when they look at the scars Or when even when they look at the memory of what happened um, they're able to You know, they've been to talk about it And and also offer that as a as a story of hope Right, uh, so that's the thing like recently just yesterday. I think somebody had posted Um the the picture of uh, grandstands The elder's daughter, you know and her family and so on. So Um, you know, they went through horrible things and from the sustains to actually turn around and say I forgive Uh, I think that's uh, that's the work of the cross And also I think uh JJ cannon cannon john. I think uh, that is named so on his uh, you know program There was an interview with a couple who actually forgave their son's murderer Like the son was a young man And uh, he was actually murdered by another man So they actually went up to that man and said, you know, we forgive you And uh, and that kind of a healing It's not like they don't feel that pain obviously, you know, it's been a great loss But then, you know, they've been restored to the fact that yes, you know all that hope of reunion You know, it's all it's all there and in christ because of the finished work of the cross. They have been restored to that emotionally to function again right Emotionally to to not just function but thrive I'm not just as a victim of something but overcome that And that is possible right um, so the basis and we look at the basis of Even taking that step towards restoration We see that god wants as well God wants as well in these areas some 23 the samas Is a testimony, you know, he just testifies and then he restores my soul He restores my soul so There's restoration You know restoration you can imagine it as a broken bone being set or own the healing You know he restores that um, and so you know twofold meaning repairing restoration restoring refreshing and bringing to a state of wholeness and also You know to turn back restoration in terms of relationships so something Being repaired and restored and rebuilt And also in terms of relations something like that has been, you know, you turn back and returning um to god So both happen That restoration happens and he restores god restores our soul So The work of restoration of our soul involves healing Which means repairing and making well What has been damaged what has been inflicted upon with pain like There's a healing of that that happens and It could also involve deliverance meaning there is a setting free from The evil one setting free from the work of the enemy setting free from From the prison of the enemy like from the demonic spirits so This it involves healing it involves deliverance and thirdly third aspect of it it involves an ongoing journey Okay a walk of restoration Apart on the path of restoration right an ongoing thing and uh, of course, we need to do certain things on an ongoing In an ongoing manner In order to stay, you know, healthy All of us as believers, you know in order to stay healthy emotionally We do certain things an ongoing manner like involves the word of god a steady diet of the word of god and Worship and prayer and just being in his presence is soaking in his presence, right?
