 the person who did black magic he felt like not felt he literally got attacked from another one but he's saying he's not a demon and like he's alive now but he can't walk and do anything the reason why they are saying he's not a demon they did all things like demons should not come back a lot of things are there and that person like people are saying like is it like that and I think I heard that when they do this and when it's not effective it actually goes and attacks them you know so that's what I've heard I don't know but your question is okay was this a judgment of God right God protecting and therefore did God did do this my opinion is that you know because it was a witchcraft kind of a thing I just feel that it was just the demon coming back and doing it and demons lie all the time you know it's not like they're not bound by a covenant not to do it or keep up their end of the responsibility so they attack they do this so they're not see he's called the father of lies so which means he's the one who killed him yeah yeah not killed him I kind of did damage him and etc yeah there's no loyalty no sense of so yeah so I would say but is it a judgment of God not really because the thing is so when we look at the finished work of Jesus on the cross it is to give life and when you look at the life of Jesus also you know the Peter drew his sword and cut off that year of that high priest servant but you look at Jesus response yeah he healed him in that you know in that moment so the Lord's way of dealing with people is see there are certain times when I would say people put themselves out of they just open doors and they move out of there's nothing like God not reach able to reach them but they intentionally move out of God's reach and try to do things rebelliously and they face the consequence of it but God's way of dealing with people and bringing them to restoration and repentance is the display of his goodness because scripture talks about the fact that the goodness of God leads one to repentance so that's always his method yes that is primary method yes people can put themselves in a place where there's some accident or something and then they look to God yes that also happens yeah hmm yeah so so when we yeah so a person actually yeah the way to look at it is this so the wrath of God was poured out on the cross on Jesus who took our judgment who took our place you know not just good believers but for everyone you know the one who's taunting, the one who's persecuting so he did it and then we have access to it by faith it's the grace of God so that's the thing he faced it, he did it and that's why as people who are living on this side of the cross on this side of the cross it's not that old dispensation but this side of the cross yeah for us it's the grace of God and the goodness of God which is reaching out to us yes I'm not saying that these kind of things do not happen because we move out we intentionally step out and face the consequence of it and God touches us in those circumstances also you know if it's on a hospital bed looking at the ceiling that someone has to come come to terms with God yes it happens then also yeah but yeah that is my understanding of it when we look at scripture, the entirety of scripture this is what we see see the ones who do not like if you see okay we are kind of digressing a little but anyway we will just quickly see like John Pree right John chapter 3 the Lord's conversation with Nicodemus right so he says and we go down to verse 15 whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life God so love the world that is 16 right God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world but that the world through him might be saved he who believes in him is not condemned but he who does not believe is condemned already so everybody is covered with condemnation already but that is removed when one comes to Christ so that's about it everybody is under judgment already facing the wrath on the way to a destiny which is apart from God already they are dead to God alive to sin exposing themselves opening doors for the enemy to attack their lives already they are under that but when we come to God yeah so that's the thing okay prayer time praying the toughest prayers of our lives let's do that so online students also just take some time okay if there's anything specifically that you just ask the Holy Spirit I'm sure he will reveal what is it that you are still holding on in your life that you're not forgiving yourself or that God has forgiven that his grace is covered his blood is covered but you're trying to drag it out of under the blood so let's just quickly take some time however where you want it talk to the Lord and if there's something that he's bringing to mind bring that specifically um and ask for forgiveness say I forgive myself okay Father God we yeah we receive healing Lord from you and whom you have forgiven Lord we have no right to hold a grudge against ourselves Father God we we are just here to say that we are sorry for the way that we have punished ourselves um by maybe not drawing near to you distancing ourselves from you distancing ourselves from people distancing ourselves from things that we love and enjoy God in the right way um and must I pray um right now for the work of your spirit Lord even as we choose to say even as we are willing to say that yes we forgive ourselves and look at ourselves the way you see us Lord as the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus as new creations as ones who are justified and sanctified yes Lord we have used these words we have kind of thought about these words but Lord it really doesn't mean anything if we are still holding things bitter against ourselves and so God I pray maybe in the recent past or maybe in the distant past Lord happened in our lives whatever things that intentionally or unintentionally that we that we did that we said God um we just pray Lord even as we bring it under the blood the blood of Jesus um that perfect sacrifice which is still powerful enough to cleanse and and just um and destroy the body of sin God we we thank you for your faithfulness in forgiving us of all unrighteousness Lord and we realize that all unrighteousness means all and so God we thank you as per 1 John 1 9 Lord you are faithful and just to forgive us of all unrighteousness and so God we forgive ourselves Lord even today God we thank you God in Jesus name we pray amen amen amen okay um so so you know the the thing is this that um when we forgive ourselves again just like how we there is this whole thing coming over and over again okay maybe it was just a thought maybe it was just a just a emotion that you felt and um you know maybe you are not worth it etc these things come again so that is when we embrace over and above our feelings or emotions we embrace the truth of God's Word right what God says about us what God declares about us we take that at his word right and then say God this is this is what you say about me this is what you believe about me this is what you declare about me and so I come in agreement with that right so it's it's not it's not being boastful now sometimes we look at these you know I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me and then it's not an arrogant you know we're not speaking that out saying that out from a place of being arrogant or boastful okay so it's a very humble act when we agree with God it's humility right when he says that you are precious and we agree with him yes lord you know I am this in your eyes it's act of humility right okay so when it comes to various aspects maybe rejection fear you know maybe we feel that okay we are not up to it you know we don't feel up to it up to you know when I say up to it I'm saying about I don't feel adequate enough to carry out a particular task I don't feel qualified enough I don't feel you know educated enough or wealthy enough and all these things we go with what God says right we go with what God says we're not saying that hey this is not true the sense okay maybe I'm you know maybe we are not educated enough we're saying okay I didn't pass my school or I didn't do a degree or whatever it is that's a fact okay that's a fact the facts are okay we don't have these natural qualifications that's a fact but God's word goes beyond the fact and it is the truth it doesn't hide the fact okay this is what it is okay maybe in the natural you don't have this you don't have these educational qualifications we don't have this banked balance but God's word goes beyond that and saying that I will lead you in a triumphant procession in Christ Jesus or you know things like the plans that I have for you despite all this right despite all disqualifications in the eyes of the world despite all you know everything that doesn't seem to be okay despite all that the plans that I have for you are good plans plans to not harm you like Jeremiah 29 11 so so that is what we go with that is what we hold on to right the truth of God's word okay so and this is not a one-time thing again this is something that we go to over and over again say God your word goes beyond the circumstance goes beyond the present the way you are declaring okay then the other thing that we can do so what are we looking at we are looking at some of these some of these steps that we can take to just walk into healing and deliverance just by ourselves in the presence of God just looking at our own lives and making these choices we step into healing and deliverance which comes from God right so the most the other thing that we need to do is to renounce lies what does renounce mean renounce means to let go reject right renounce lies so we could be believing something very sincerely about ourselves about our future that could be a lie okay so it's a good exercise just to list down okay what are the lies that I am believing about myself okay and to counter that because a lie always leads to leads to a life of imprisonment always holds you back a lie always does that a lie does not lead us into liberty of freedom a lie seems to do that but it's very deceptive okay lie always leads us to imprisonment the bondage and which is why the holy spirit he is called wherever the spirit is there is freedom and liberty right because the Lord Jesus says that the spirit of God the holy spirit he will lead us into all truth right and truth liberates truth always liberates opens up and there is freedom okay so renounce the lies and in its place accept the truth of God's word okay so it's a daily thing whenever we read the word of God suddenly we realize this is what I have been believing about myself but actually God's word says something else this is what I have been thinking about myself or about my situation based on the experience based on what is to my senses what I see what I hear this is what I think about my situation but then God your word says something else so I am choosing that right okay close all those okay so that means that anything that I might have out of ignorance or intentionally I could have opened access point for the enemy okay so out of ignorance maybe some dedication some ritual that I participated in and something that I invited something so that dedicates my life to powers of darkness whatever and it could also be some things that you know for example some artifacts or something that is dedicated to the powers of darkness and then we kind of bring it and keep it and so on so these things can be cancelled and certain open doors can be our lifestyle also like a lifestyle of sin a lifestyle of like even a lifestyle of unforgiveness for example right lifestyle of open rebellion you know these things can be open doors right and a foothold for the enemy to come and and Rick you know have a in our lives so whatever those are we can actually cancel it so when we cancel it how do we cancel it we just declare it declare it null and void declare it cancel okay like I remember like once when we went to pray for someone there is this lady who was actually completely taken over by the spirit so so we really had to cancel all dedications that were made over her like this thing is very stubborn so but when we prayed and cancelled those dedications you know maybe probably the parents did it whatever and we took authority and cancelled those dedications and then she experienced freedom so it could be something something that they had done so yeah so yeah so something that we can pray like this you know in Jesus name I cancel negate nullify all dedications prayers, rituals, sacrifices wows okay so it covers everything made by me all my ancestors to fall false gods or goddesses I cancelled the effects of any or my ancestors involvement in the occult and in occult practices I declare in Jesus name that I sever means to cut all ties towards these demonic powers in Jesus name I renounce all associations with demonic spirits okay and also you know cancel all curses or spells or witchcraft or enchantments or anything you cancel it so we have you know we have the greater one we have the authority so we can actually cancel it you know not with fear or apprehension but with the confidence and faith that we have in Christ we declare it cancelled in Jesus name and experience freedom if there are you know spirits that are opposing oppressing influencing that also we cast out over our own lives can evil spirits oppress us what do you think oppress obviously can evil spirits influence us yes deception lies fears accusations yeah and so when we realize that hey I am not supposed to be like this I am under this oppression I am supposed to be walking free why am I giving way to this why am I giving place for fear you know it is repeated fear I wake up in the morning and this heart is captured with fear go to bed at night again fearful why should we live like that all this weight of oppression of you know something bad will happen why should you give way for that right so you cancel every influence of the enemy every oppression or weight of the enemy we cancel it in Jesus name right and cast out their influence cast out their activity and you just declare this prayer is very it says okay I shut every door to these evil spirits and declare they have no more access or influence into my life I am washed cleanse and covered by the blood of Jesus I am redeemed and purchased by the blood I am God's property and the devil has no claim over me I am free in Jesus name okay why don't we just say that out okay I'll say that you repeated okay online students also you can don't unmute your mic there'll be chaos okay so let's say this okay in Jesus name I shut every door to these evil spirits and declare they have no more access or entrance into my life I am washed cleansed and covered by the blood of Jesus I am redeemed and purchased by the blood I am God's property and the devil has no claim over me I am free in Jesus name amen that's it so so many times when we declare that we experience freedom in our minds I remember once when I was working in sales and I was coming back home and there was so much fear so much fear so much of heaviness because I was not sure whether I'll have my job at the end of the month I had not achieved my targets so I'm just coming back home and I'm thinking oh God bills to be paid rent to be paid so much of expenses and I'm leaving a city like Bangalore and if I lose my job because it was I think 2 months that I've not achieved my targets and it can be very brutal might be great friends and all but then you didn't achieve your targets you'll leave out so much of heaviness and then I realized okay just then learning about confessing the word learning about the authority that we have etc and declaring God's word I'm a child of God I'm victorious in Christ this oppression does not have any hold over me fear has no hold over me and I just started speaking that declaring that and suddenly just filled that weight which would not have happened any other way I could not have just psyched myself or motivated myself this would not have happened because it's a spiritual thing it's a spiritual way and it has to be dealt with spiritual weapons which is God's word the spirit of God it'll go only with the spiritual weapons because it's a spiritual attack so I realized that and then I realized hey this is what I need to do I need to take authority but many times we don't feel like it we feel so discreet and down that we don't feel like even declaring it I've done it so many times and yet again I'm just feeling we're just down just let it go but those are the times when we need to rise up and declare it doesn't mean that you need to shout it out it can be a simple declaration, speaking it because that's truth that's being declared okay couple of other things consecrate yourself to the Lord okay so I just want to read what Romans talks about Romans talks about the fact that we are more than I mean that sin has no dominion over us but also talks about how we need to present ourselves to the Lord okay I'm Romans 6 okay so Romans 6 and verse verse 4 okay therefore we were buried with him through baptism into death that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father even so we should also walk in the newness of life okay then it all the way goes down to verse 14 shall not have dominion over you for you are not under law but under grace since shall not have dominion over you and if you go down to verse 22 says but now having been set free again about the past right about the cross what happened on the cross so you say having been set free from sin and having become slaves of God you have your fruit to holiness and the end everlasting life verse 19 just as you presented your members as slaves to uncleanness and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness so now present your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness I like the term slaves of righteousness slave to righteousness which means that okay I'm helpless I don't have my own rights but I have to do the right thing slaves of righteousness for holiness and one other verse is an instruction verse 13 do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead and your members as instruments of righteousness to God so verse 13 and verse 19 when we look at it it's talking about presenting ourselves giving ourselves wholly to God talking about all our faculties everything our members who God so that is in a way that is consecration that is setting ourselves apart so many times when we think about setting ourselves apart we think about isolation I'm removing myself all people's church all people's I want to move to where I am I can be alone I don't want isolation insulation that is not consecration consecration is in the midst of where we are but we are presenting ourselves to God that is one major part of it it's not about separation but it's actually about surrender about yielding so when we surrender when we yield when we present ourselves to God then the other part of walking in separation or walking in you know walking and not really being getting entangled in sin that becomes an outflow of it a natural outflow of it I present myself to God my faculty my members everything to God as a slave of righteousness so this prayer in Jesus name I consecrate my entire being to you I consecrate my spirit soul, body and completely and wholly to you and to you alone my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit my body is not for sin or sickness or any evil work my soul belongs to the Lord Jesus Christ I consecrate my emotions feelings, appetites passions, desires all to the Lord Jesus and they are wholly unto God so that is something that we can do consecrate so these are things that we can actually do from time to time maybe in our quiet times still it becomes part of us where we are just walking through these steps it becomes second nature and then we welcome the work of the Holy Spirit because we know that the presence and the power of the Holy Spirit which breaks every yoke, every bondage and sets us free so you welcome spirit of God to heal and to feel and to release cleanse everything to energize us, empower us to do God's will so these 10 steps just go through it one more time and see how you can just apply it in your life maybe in your quiet time maybe today or some other time just go through it and take time each of these steps I know we kind of went through it certain places where we stopped and spent time but then you take time take time with God, sit with God and be aware of the presence of the Holy Spirit be sensitive to what the Holy Spirit what the Spirit of God is speaking, dropping into our hearts and do it accordingly and then we will see that there is much freedom at the end of it cleaning it's like a complete cleaning everything goes when you open up and clean you see that oh my God so much of dust so much of things that are there because we didn't move certain stool or something that was there accumulated dust and suddenly you realize oh my God so many cockroaches where did they come from they're all there and they all leave the work of the cleansing of the Holy Spirit all those hidden things they all leave as well any questions, any thoughts so these are things that we do but there are certain things that we can do adopt or adapt as a lifestyle as a lifestyle change which means yes Nina sorry before we go in you have a question yes pastor maybe I was not able to hear the whole of it when that thing was being discussed at one point of time there was a in the part of the discussion there was something that came out saying that so that I mean why we have to raise our voice against something because of that it may not be repeated so in what context was that that we need to so the question was about justice and personally forgiving the offender but in what situations should we so just forgiving the offender mean that we don't report the matter let's say the person breaks the law or hurts something or hurts someone now justice needs to be done so do we report the matter or not report the matter let's say we want to forgive so do we not report the matter at all so my opinion was that yes we forgive from our heart but if we sense that this can be something that is a repeated can be repeated offence and damage others lives property and so on so then we need to report the matter so that correction can be brought to the individual and sometimes it is in a correctional facility like a prison or whatever so that is what we were talking about does that help I'm sorry I think you know okay yeah fine yeah and I was also sharing about how you know maybe in a family setting when we know the person and still that person wrongs you when we would have the conversation with that person you know having we forgive but then we have the conversation to point out that the person is what they have done is wrong maybe it's a financial matter or something else where they have done is wrong and then that should not be repeated and so on where we have the opportunity and the relationship and the setting to address it and you know talk about it which may not be the case when a person comes a perfect stranger comes steal something or hurt someone and then runs away yeah okay so we were talking about lifestyle changes adapt certain things as a lifestyle which means that cutting away anything that is sinful okay that can be a lifestyle change okay in the natural maybe the doctor saying please don't have sugar okay so that's a lifestyle change and saying how can I do that morning cup of coffee I need to have sugar and you know after every meal I need to have the chocolate but the doctor saying don't okay so lifestyle change is little difficult to adapt is little difficult on our body difficult on our emotions etc are there certain things which are drawing you back to sin which are weighing you down you know what Hebrews talks about the weights that are slowing you down right and the sin that entangles that needs to be cut away that needs to be cut away you know certain things are like but it doesn't seem to affect the other person why me right the other person is fine well when you know that it affects you you cut it off that's the thing right for example like eating beef and prawns may not affect you but for someone else it's like all it's an allergic thing they're saying hey I had prawns and everything ellipse and all like it's kind of swollen up and all that so they need to avoid right or deal with it you have an allergic reaction what of it I'm saying that we cannot say hey that person is not affected therefore you know I can continue you know that person why is that person but if it affects you you know if it's drawing you yeah telling that beef thing so before so like what happened is like for me before is to have that problem especially for beef and mutton so I hear from one brother he's saying like his brother had a problem like this prayer it will so then I believe and I ate after that it's not came again so please please lay hands and pray even I want to have more of this regularly so okay so you prayed and then okay anything specifically that you prayed or did you I just believed like okay it's not going to affect me so what was it how was it affecting you like first I'll start coughing something irritating on chest and all then I'll start coughing if I adjust for coughing it is gone but if I won't start it will be affecting then all things will come here and like bubbles and all yeah so if then start itching okay so why have to pray for anyone anyone else has food allergies anyone else has food allergies okay online anyone has food allergies so Francis you pray since you've seen victory in this area okay so so just pray and release that that breakthrough okay so just pray and say huh yeah yeah so we are all believing right online folks we are all believing go for it just pray and pray in faith you know whatever faith you had you believed and you received that breakthrough so just go ahead yeah very quickly hello father thank you for this wonderful time lord thank you for releasing the healing thank you for you are the provider for Jesus which miracle you did for me in my life as we are believing on you you are the miracle worker whoever is going through that problem any food allergies or Jesus they have the passion and like to eat that but they are not able to eat or Jesus you are father you know everything lord you know our heart or Jesus thank you for your night now you are releasing the healing you are releasing the provision whichever we are going through or Jesus anybody is having that issue in any allergies right now we are releasing the healing on that particular problem lord you are the Jehovah Rafa you are the miracle working god we are declaring the healing over the body and over the food which is affecting on the body right now in Jesus name we are declaring healing amen amen amen I receive it thank you thank you so much yeah thanks for praying so okay guys so any testimonies you can test and share in the coming days right okay okay so yeah so we are talking about why did we get into beef and prawns okay as an example it started so that became a life lesson for us and the ministry time in prayer wow praise god so yeah so yeah so we cut off all those things that are you know influencing and drawing us back second thing is renewing our mind with god's word we know you know we've studied you know that it's a continuous thing that are various aspects of various areas of our life that are in various levels of renewal right the proof of renewing of our minds is changed behaviour Romans 12 talks about be transformed by the renewing of your mind so the transformation which is when I'm saying behaviour I'm talking about our thought patterns our speech our interactions with people god everything you know so that changed transformed behaviour is the proof of the mind being renewed adequately renewed by the proof of god's word so which is a constant thing and it's a beautiful thing you know like we have the word of god which is spirit and life Jesus said something to take and change our thinking and it's a joy to see our behaviour change because that's the key to transformation people are just struggling and saying how do I change I'm struggling with all my behaviour addictions and so on this is the key continuous thing third thing developer godly lifestyle we're talking about maturing into christ likeness into all areas that also part of our lives and lastly whatever we need for a fruitful life these need not be quote unquote spiritual things alone and I say quote unquote everything that god when we say mature into all things in christ it is not just knowledge of the word or the gifts of the spirit and so on it is everything that that is part and parcel of our life okay relationship skills time management money management you know sorry nutrition exercise all these things so whatever is required let it be an ongoing thing that we learn and develop and make it part of our lives we don't look at it as hey this is worldly it's not it's about the life that god has given us to live to minister and so on and these are skills that we would require communication we require that and we can always get better at it right to communicate well to hear to listen well all these things we can so have an attitude of okay I want to learn I want to develop so that my life can be fruitful and by the fruit the father is glorified but the fruit of my life is glorified so let my life be fruitful okay so we'll stop here any other further questions on this okay okay we'll stop here and then we'll continue next class okay thank you God bless
