 All right welcome back to Steps of Freedom. Thank you. We're back. We are back Last week we started talking about renewing the mind I look at the miracle list and I naturally want to break it up into parts So the first part It's kind of some inner inner introspection You have to look inward. Who do I need to forgive? You know, how do I feel about myself? How did I treat my parents when I was young? I Got a deal with that and then What are these negative thoughts that I keep having on a regular basis? We are not allowed as Christians. We are not allowed. We're not permitted the privilege or if are the right I'll say that the legal right to hold on to unforgiveness Okay, we do not it'll make you sick Not just sick in your mind. It'll make your body sick. It'll make your body sick We have far too many sick Christians In the church if everybody just dealt with the yuck inside of their soul and their emotions We'd have a lot of fewer. We'd have fewer sick Christians, right? You can't hate yourself. You can't nitpick yourself Father does not nitpick you. He doesn't criticize you He does not have a long list of do's and don'ts For you to follow to be accepted by him Okay Contrary to what some churches teach actually all of God's wrath about sin Landed where on the cross That's right. It's not landing on you. It's not coming to you Will you be judge? Yeah, you'll be judge at the end Not now The bad if the bad things are happening in your life. It's not because God It's because of you. It's because of the enemy. It's because of the people. It's because of sin All right, so You can't hate yourself or you're gonna make yourself sick very sick. You'll have an autoimmune disease Okay, you'll be sick and there's a lot of them hundreds of autoimmune diseases hundreds I Know somebody right now that has something about the dry mouth. That's a really dry mouth and I know this person well and They have spoken a lot of negativity out of their mouth Complaining envy I've heard it said the envy will break the teeth Huh and the bones to yeah The bones Which I guess that's teeth teeth is related to the bones, right? Okay good Okay, I'm on so You know and then your parents you can't you can't Just gloss over the fact that your parents are no good and you rebelled against them and then you became a Christian later and you're fine Well, then look back at your life. Has it been fine? No, it's been a mess. Okay. Why how did you act when you were 16? Like a know-it-all like most 16 year olds You know, did you rebel against your parents? And if you did Says you have brought a curse You need to go back and for you know apologize Gotta apologize And Then number four is about the negative thoughts that you have in your mind Chronic negative thoughts is going to bring about what? Depression what else fear? Yeah here Mental health issues absolutely 100% negative thoughts. That's what planospearce is all about is All about what goes on between your two years your thoughts And if you're if you're constantly negative and criticizing yourself and complaining and and all of that Yeah, you're gonna end up with a mental illness. So the first Four items on the miracle list are covering those four things and now you have The next section renew your mind last week we talked about some chapters and John and Matthew Right, and hopefully you've been reading over those Keep going keep reading them Maybe it'll click what does it mean to abide What does that really mean to abide What does it really mean to ask whatever and my name and it shall be done? How do we get to that place? It's all about what you believe Yeah Yeah Mm-hmm Right and we know belief is so important Jesus in his hometown. He could not do it says many miracles why Because of his problem. No because of their They're on belief It astounds me that Jesus could not do something What it's honest it says he couldn't do it Yeah, everybody's got a free will You get to choose how to use it, right? You have the freedom to use it, but I'm telling you if you want to Operate as a Christian and want the benefits of the Christian life or certain things you just have to tell your free will No, I'm not doing that So this next section is about renewing the mind. Okay, the first one's overcoming rejection. It's really overcoming childhood rejection and You know, it's talking about what happens before child's born in childhood and then how does that manifest in a person's life? Yes, it's long. I know it's long Just I don't drive to work and listen to it. You don't have to watch it. I Mean I would watch the first half an hour 45 minutes to answer the questions in the in the workbook But the rest of it just listen Get to the end Be someplace private In your car and the park at home and you know if you got a bunch of family members at home You got to go someplace else Listen to the deliverance service after Okay Listen to it There's a story. I'll share with you. Why how important it is to listen to that portion of the video I was working with a guy a couple weeks ago and he was telling me a story about He's a carnal Christian. Maybe he changed his ways now. I hope so. How's my goal? But he's living with his girlfriend and She just recently learned about deliverance Okay, and so He's asleep next to her and she's got the laptop open watching brother Mike. I Don't know what part she was that maybe they were like come out in Jesus name. I don't know He's sleeping next to her and he's telling me about a dream he has There's a dream. He's in his house with his son and there's this like lizard man reptile type Person he's like, I think it was a demon And he goes and I said in my dream this house we stand for Jesus And he had to say it a couple times and then the thing left He wakes up and he slams the laptop shut Well the next morning and yells something at her next morning. She tells him Well, you know, I was listening to this man speak about Demons and deliverance and he then shares the dream So he came in to see me. He says I think maybe I might have it You know a demon, maybe I go maybe you live with your girlfriend. Okay? Maybe got a few in there Yeah, I explained to him. Okay that thing in your dream that happened in your subconscious That's inside your mind That spirit is in your mind Yeah, and he had a good deliverance. He never he never even been to a service He never even watched one of Mike's teachings his girlfriend just told him about it and he had that dream He became a believer and then he came in So look listen to it Okay, it might stir some stuff up in you then you know, it's still in there And then you can deal with it. You can't deal with it if you don't know if it's there, right? So are you still have a question? Oh sure saying that The demons are in your soul and not your spirit. Oh, yes, ma'am. Absolutely. So I Think it's on one of them. It asks whether the five parts of the human so The Bible describes the inner man And of course we know about the body so the inner man being the heart and the spirit, right? well years ago Mike Smith the guy who started this ministry. I got a revelation from the Lord that the the heart or Or the mind and the the heart the soul are two different things So the mind Right, you process information in your mind and it's stored in the brain the body and then your soul is Where your emotions are your spirit is separate. That's where the Holy Spirit is And no no demonic spirits can get in there That's what's born again. That's what's new Okay, thanks, she's taking over my she's taking over my Bible study, okay I know I appreciate you Yeah, so that's absolutely your spirit man. That's what saved that's what's Brand new that's what's you know new creation, right? You're perfect there and no spirit can get no evil spirit can get in there But we know we can be afflicted in our body That's not born again. My soul. Oh goodness. No, it's a lot better than it was Right, so thanks for asking that question. That was good anxiety disorders That was my struggle for my life for almost 20 years that's 20 years of my life and It's they're here They're in the mind Even though you feel it in your body, you're like, but I feel it and I would I felt it here Okay, Mike always will point right here to fear He'll grab the bridge of your nose and he'll point right here and say that's where the fear is I had I've had COVID twice now the first time I had COVID was I guess 21 yeah a year ago January this last January a year before and after I had that virus or whatever it is I Was losing hair Clumps of hair and That morning it was ministry training and it was going on for for a couple weeks I'd say I was having clumps of hair and then I would comb my hair out and more clumps would come out So I remember ministry training of sitting right back there, and he's like okay Does anybody you know need prayer for anything and I I just said I think I adjusted in my seat And I remembered my hair falling out and I got up and I felt a little dizzy And I came forward and I said I'm losing my hair and he said that's a fear spirit And he pointed you know how he does it I I started crying and It's actually on YouTube you just do the back of me, but it was like this Sneeze cough it's the only way I can describe it coming out It was this anxiety a sneeze cough. You know what I mean? Yeah, I know some of you've experienced that before It's like that the same sneezing and coughing at this. It's uncomfortable. I Washed my hair the next day No, excuse me. I I did two more days I didn't wash my head the next day because I'm like I'm gonna see if it really happened because you know ladies You wash your hair and a lot of hair comes out like if you have long hair, especially I'm like I'm gonna wait two days Hardly anything came out. It stopped immediately Immediately Yeah, so and now my hair is back. I'm so happy It was getting really thin it's getting really thin it's my glory Okay anxiety mental illnesses seminar there's part one. I think there's four parts So if that's something you're interested in something you struggle with Go there, you know Mike One of his very first cases with a was a guy with schizophrenia His name is Nick Grimsman. He's running for city councilman right now I Districate I think there's something I don't know. I think it is yeah Nick Grimsman He's the one who told me to come and see Mike. He did my first deliverance Nick did Yeah, he was really sick. He tried to kill himself. I think nine times. I Believe that's what his book says. Yes. Yeah, the CD called them. I hate the devil. I love I have that CD still It's one of his first ones. It's intense No, I'll bring you a copy. I have one in Spanish too actually. I hate the devil It's Nick Grimsman. Yeah, that's a powerful powerful CD Yeah, he's a friend. He's a good friend of mine Grimsman An Maybe I don't know about that, but he's got Overcoming mental illness is his first book. He's got about five books out right now. Yeah, the father's friends ministry Yeah, that I hate the devil that CD it's powerful if you're dealing with this or You know a lot of confusion in your mind if you're dealing with Arguing with people a lot confusion head-pressure dizziness Forgetfulness. Yeah, that's all witchcraft that all that I hate the devil CD. Yeah Yep, that's a good one So yeah, he introduced me first. Anyway Mike. I believe he's got three documented People who were diagnosed with schizophrenia. They were full-blown schizophrenics and they are now healed Nick is one David Baldwin is the is another Yep So and many many more Baldwin Baldwin David Baldwin. Yeah, he's on our YouTube channel Huh, and we know his wife. He's a good guy. Yeah Oh Good great welcome sister she knows she knows our people Awesome I'll say here my own testimony is I was diagnosed with a clinical depression about 20 years ago and It was two years ago that I trusted the Lord. I was on a lot of medication and I trusted God I believed he was telling me it was get time to get off and Yeah, I did It came at a cost, but then in about 15 minutes of deliverance. I was free from it Yeah, I was on almost 300 milligrams of antidepressant every day The effects are It's very this poison that stuff. It's poison. That's all right. Don't worry about it. I'm not telling you what to do Don't worry about it. Look that is not a cut I would never ever ever tell somebody to get off of their medication. Okay, that they say that that's harder than harrowing to get It is yep And I almost went into a detox center. I was gonna spend $60,000 to do it Oh, I Was this close to calling two friends of mine who you know, they're done very well in their lives But I've been friends with them like over 20 years and I was desperate. I had vertigo so bad That I could not get from the bed to the bathroom without bruising myself I was house sitting for some animals and I was two hours up in the mountains so I was really scared and so I reached out to Mike and I was like telling him all this stuff, right? He writes me back this, you know, Mike, he didn't write back like two words Or three words he writes about a mini paragraph These are the spirits you got to tell him what the you know, you got to bind them. You got to do this These are just you know, but and I'm like, I can't understand What you're telling me like your mind is all jumbled and And uh, I wrote him back. I'm like, I can't process what you're saying to me Crying and all that mess and then he just wrote get out now And I ran to the bathroom and I stood over that toilet for about 15 minutes coughing my head off. I read it Read it No, I will say stop and say this one thing that's I think it's not 100 necessary, but it really helps If the person needing deliverance Trust the person doing the deliverance It helps tremendously Yeah For years I know me too me too Oh, yeah And it is really important what we say about other people It's important that we treat people with care and dignity When we're doing deliverance when we are praying for other people Not all ministers take that approach Um, I I think I learned by watching Uh, a good example and a bad example of that And so that's what you see today. I hopefully I emulate emulate more Mike Smith's approach Then the the other You know, we're all in a process of learning so Trust is very important. I trusted him And he it's funny. He gave me first. He gives me the long, you know, Mike doesn't send these long emails And then he wrote me the the quick, you know get out now and that's what did it And uh, I was here Serving 30 days later Yeah, yeah, it was I mean that wasn't it that I wasn't all completely done Believe me a lot of wounds a lot of hurt happened over that length of time So some things are still healing. So this is a really good seminar here. And then um auto immune diseases Is the other one, um Yeah, auto immune diseases are related to self-hatred If you don't like yourself Your body then turns on itself What parts of your body Could be any part of your body As in breaking down, burying or just burning dry mouth Um lupus Fibromyalgia Chronic fatigue Chronic fatigue good Arthritis A lot of digestive problems Um Parkinson's I don't know. I don't think that's a yeah, I think it's more of the mind Yes So diabetes is not from what I understand the medical people in the room can correct me, please Is not an auto immune disease. However, it acts very similar to one Hmm. Am I right? It's kind of auto immune because the cells in the pancreas get destroyed that produce insulin. Okay So you now have to inject insulin because your body's not producing it to do metformin Which kind of enhances them to produce a little more. Okay, not all of them are destroyed So it's kind of like self-destruction Exactly. So it has a little bit of auto immune in my opinion. Okay. Yeah Kidney disease Huh? Um, I don't believe it is I'm looking around for people giving me some support right now um, I have heard um, and I understand that um, deep wounds heart Terrible heartbreak is sit trauma sits in the kidneys Bitterness Yeah, bitterness different But you meet people that are loving and have cancer and I think Where where's that bitterness? I don't see it That's great. Um I've met yeah, I've I told the story. I've I've worked with three people with a bone cancer And my first 10 minutes with them. They're wonderful And then we got in a little deeper And then one gal we're here on the floor with her and it was the end It was like over two hours and she finally said but why did god let me get sick There it is. There's what's causing the cancer That's it. That was it. I know another lady. She's a wonderful beautiful woman from scott stale. She, uh Has done a lot for god. She's a great career She's a big giver. She's volunteer. She's a wonderful loving kind people probably love her awesome We got and she's in her 60s and we got all the way to 19 years old her fiance died in a car crash Okay, you let that hurt out And she's crying and then she's like but why did god let him god? Why did you have to take him from me? I'm like, that's it. That's the problem I'm my great pet You know, you got to let it go. You got to let it go And she wouldn't do it She she didn't but I do this for god and I do that for god and I and I I I'm like, whoo I'm like, look, I explained it to you and I pray for you But the other woman who had bone and breast cancer Who was losing her mind? cried a river and continues to cry a river in Repentance and guess what her pescan says zero cancer zero cancer She's getting her life back she's getting her mind back She's getting relationships back with her her daughter and her grandchildren. I mean she's 77 years old Renju and I went to her home did the first one. We walked into the room. She starts upchucking. I was like, whoa She was ready She was ready. She had enough of her own mind to know she was out of her mind Yeah, she had enough And um, god bless her caregiver who set the whole thing up and stay still calm and As far as I know she's still getting deliverance She's still pressing through. Yeah Yeah, I think she's dealing with some, you know mental. She had a horrible life of abuse Oh my gosh, I never but she's writing letters to her abusers. I forgive you I release you in the name of Jesus. I bless you. They're dead, but she's writing them out Crying guess what those tears are healing her healing her Nothing escapes The lord's view he sees it all You may have forgotten But he has not forgotten And he doesn't remember it because he wants a point And say you did this no He wants he sees it and remembers it because he wants to point at it and go, I want to heal you right there Give it to me Give it to me That's what I want next What does he want next from you? You're holding on to something You may not even know what it is. You may not know why you're holding on to it You may feel like you have a right to hold on to it Just let it go All right, let it go I mean, okay, and then the last one is miracle blockers, which I didn't write anything up for that But that's the last video. Uh, it's excellent Um I don't know if it's that oh autoimmune disease too. He does talk about it in the miracle blockers Um If you don't forgive yourself Everybody is an epic failure in life We all have made a ton of mistakes If you don't forgive yourself You will fall into a state of victimization type We call that self pity You will never receive anything from god if you remain in a state of self pity That will block your miracles For the rest of your life No, we're not allowed to do that. I wish it was preach from the pulpit Stop self pity We can't we can't do that Yeah, these are the lists of things you can't do the list of laws You can't hold on to other forgiveness. You can't have self pity You can't go on blaming everybody for your problems. You got to take responsibility, right? It's not a bunch of do's and don'ts like don't lie and don't cuss and don't smoke and don't drink Of course, don't do those things, but Really what god cares about is your heart It's your heart so So those are those videos and then there are over 300 youtube teachings Mike's got over 300 of them. So check them out. It's under the house of healing easy All right I don't know I don't know if you need to write that down. I think everybody's pretty much got That in there All right, so um Do you have I have a question yes Thank you. There's such as yourself in other states that are doing this because there's such a need Yeah, um We're we're unique, but we're not So unique that it's not happening in other places, right? So there are deliverance ministries In lots of different states That I know about from here. I know there's a group in kansas I know there's a group in new york I know there's um Tennessee I know about one who's connected to us. I don't know But we have phone ministers that will take phone calls in different parts of the country Mm-hmm We do see people come from all over the country and sometimes the world will come right here because they They look for It I don't know the it factor they look for what we're doing here and they can't exactly find it Yeah, they find us on youtube, right and they go to their churches and they They don't they don't know what to do. So that's a good question. I wish we had like a little map and I'm from chicago and one of my good friend goes to a huge church and I says You know, you have a deliverance team and there she's like what? What's that I think I I would guess most christians Were like I was I didn't know I didn't believe I was taught that i'm a christian so I cannot have Spirits and myself Yeah, and that's so wrong. It's so wrong. Yeah um And so i'm I thank god for the now understand the full gospel Right he preached the word he healed the sick. He's cast out demons the full gospel It's not talking about the gifts of the spirit the five fold ministry. Okay, that's good. But what about the full gospel? Right, so um That's a good question and yeah We're growing here even though it's been here a long time Mike's been doing this thing and we have more ministers probably than Most of the time it's been the last five or six years that he's really grown in this building So, um, there's a lot of things that can grow. Yes Doesn't mike have the vision about an international he does. Yes. He got a prophecy actually it was Yeah, the international deliverance center. Yeah, that's the third phase He was given a prophecy a very long time ago. I think it was confirmed I'm probably going to get the number wrong, but it's confirmed. I think seven times A one person just walked in off the street had a bike with him and just can't god said this and It just was confirmed to confirm confirmed and so this is phase two Of that Yeah, well, I mean people come here, but we do phone and then there's zoom I mean, there's people from different countries on rick's zoom Right, just son of me email He does his facebook. That's his ministry facebook. Yeah in 2015 and I was having a bad period He just Email me like how's it going? Oh, and I was like, how did he know? You know, it just really shocked me. He's like so personal like that And I think also it must be led by the spirit of course, but it's just really been a blessing Yeah, he's a blessing. He's a blessing. So send him that email and just say thanks for the miracle list Don't send him a whole paragraph No, your homework is the video. Okay, uh, so you're gonna get into thank you very much. Thanks for watching
