 Okay, so good morning everyone welcome back to this class on believers authority deliverance Demonology we'll pray and get started So let me let me begin with a word of prayer. Let's pray together Heavenly Father we thank you that Lord you've made us in your own image father. You've given us Authority Lord even through Jesus father. We thank you that the victory has been one father We pray that as we talk about the very different aspects of Authority that we will gain Understanding and not just that Lord let your authority flow through our lives father Let your victory be seen in our lives and Lord help us So God to enforce this victory in the lives of people around us Lord We thank you Lord. We thank you for this opportunity. We thank you for this privilege in Jesus name. We pray amen So in the last class we've understood about authority We also understood that when God created human beings. He already gave us the authority, but sin corrupted the world and therefore we lost Authority to Satan but thank God for Jesus. He has done the redeeming work and now that authority has been Restored to us. So a little deeper into You know all this authority and the spiritual realm You know today, we will get into a couple of aspects Where we will understand The influence of the spirit world on the natural world Okay, so we are looking at different, you know bits and pieces, but it'll all eventually come together So just stay with me So far, you know, we recognized about our authority now a little bit of understanding about the spiritual realm is also essential So what we see is there are two kingdoms. There is the kingdom of darkness Kingdom of darkness refers to Satan and his demonic powers There's the kingdom of light the kingdom of light refers to the Lord Jesus and you know Jesus the angels and all of us who are born again. We belong to the kingdom of light Now these two kingdoms exist and we have to understand that the kingdom of light is Way more powerful than the kingdom of darkness. So This subject this course is about deliverance and demonology Somewhere it sparks a little bit of interest because there are many unanswered questions that people have about the spiritual realm And about the kingdom of darkness, but even before we discuss anything about the kingdom of darkness I want to share with us that as far as the the Bible is concerned It gives us great clarity that the kingdom of light is Way greater way powerful compared to the kingdom of darkness. Okay, so yes We must have interest about hey, what goes on in the kingdom of darkness and demons and all But it shouldn't be an unhealthy interest We must know enough to overcome and gain victory on the powers of darkness not more than that you know more than that is not required actually because We would rather spend all our energy understanding the kingdom of light and only as much as required regarding the kingdom of darkness Okay, so our interest is good, but we shouldn't develop an unhealthy interest. So This is quite clear now. There are two kingdoms kingdom of light kingdom of darkness in the spirit world Okay, there are things that take place and the spirit world I'm referring to both of these kingdoms as the spirit world the spirit world it Influences or it has a bearing on the natural world whether it is the kingdom of light or whether it is the kingdom of darkness It can influence the natural world. What is the natural world? The natural world is what you and I live in what we experience the realities Of our everyday life and what we can sense what we can touch what we can feel that is the natural world So what we are saying is? the spirit world can influence the natural world both the kingdom of light as well as the kingdom of darkness So how exactly you know can These kingdoms influence us so what we're going to do right now is we will just look at the influence of the The the kingdom of darkness, okay, so kingdom of light Yes, we will talk more about it a little later on but just for our understanding, you know, how how is it that? The kingdom of darkness can actually Influence or have a bearing on us so just Just yesterday in fact, you know, I was talking to one of our Outreach pastors and he shared this He shared this incident with me. He said that Among his youth. There was one girl who Suddenly fainted and she was behaving very different compared to her usual self and so the moment such a thing happened He recognized that this was some sort of a demonic spirit So they all began to pray and everything but they didn't see a breakthrough So he felt why not have one of his friends also pray for this this girl and on the phone He called up, you know another one of our pastors and put that pastor on speaker And he was telling me that pastor went on praying I think for more than one something like that and This girl started manifesting. Okay, so she started manifesting and she Eventually, you know, she fell down and all those things that happened, right? Like the spirit actually left her And so the pastor was in such great amazement that the authority of the kingdom Okay, he saw that demonstrated and this girl is not even a strong believer And she lives with many other unbelievers in her room So it seems from the time this happened all the students around her are very interested about God They're like, how can this happen, you know that a someone prays and in this case even prays on the phone And the demon left the demon spirit actually left So you see the way the power of God Was released in this particular Circumstance right that the demonic spirit had to leave when prayed in the name of Jesus. So the spirit realm Can have an influence this girl being possessed by demons is what nothing but influence of the spirit of the You know the kingdom of darkness, but In the name of Jesus this demon spirit being cast out to do is what it is the the power the influence of the Kingdom of light on the works of darkness. So you see the spirit realm It can influence. So how exactly does this influence happen? So as we talk about You know particularly the the kingdom of darkness, you see there can be times when through individuals The Spirit realm influences the natural realm. Okay, so there are many such examples in in the Bible So when we look at the book of Acts, there is a time when Paul goes to Philippi He goes to Philippi and in Philippi. There is a girl who is possessed By demons and she is she has a spirit of what we call divination So she's able to tell future and you know do different things But ultimately Paul casts out that spirit. So what was going on through an individual? right people where Being influenced now this girl going on sharing So-called, you know future telling and different things. It's influencing the community where she is living So through individuals, it's possible that you know the demonic realm tries to influence the natural realm now There can be an influence of the the kingdom of darkness even over Circumstances and situations the classic example is think about the time when Jesus was on the boat With his disciples. Yeah, so he is journeying With his disciples and what happens there is a storm, right? So if the storm was just something that God wanted to do Obviously Jesus will not go against what God wants to do, right? But what did Jesus do? He rebuked the storm. So that tells us that there is another kingdom at play and Which is why the kingdom of light is going against the kingdom of darkness and so Jesus rebukes This circumstance. What is the circumstance there is a storm and because of the storm? They the people who are on the boat, they might have been delayed or there was also the risk of them Drowning isn't it? So what does Satan do sometimes or the kingdom of darkness do sometimes he tries to influence circumstances Maybe a delay or some confusion or you know something that can happen in our situation and we are wondering But why is this happening? You know, it should it's supposed to be smooth. It's supposed to be simple but the kingdom of darkness can influence our Circumstances and situations now we must be able to discern and recognize Not everything not every delay is from the devil. Isn't it like Let's take for example, we are all going through Bible college and it's taking a while before we actually step out you know into whatever full-time ministry or as a Business entrepreneur because God is calling you whatever you want to do But that delay is not necessarily Satan trying to stop us. It's God's Preparation time in our lives and he's helping Shape us build us equip us in the word of God and strengthen us So not everything in our situation or circumstances the devil or kingdom of darkness But yes, there can be times when the kingdom of darkness tries to hinder through circumstances and Situations so when we discern like Jesus Jesus understood for this storm. It's not from The father, so let me rebuke it You know, please be still the moment you rebuke the storm was Still so in the same way We must identify are our circumstances and situations being Influenced then let's move on please feel free to ask questions at any point because I know this subject You may have a lot of questions. Okay, so moving right along world systems, so we notice that There can be Systems that are also influenced by The kingdom of darkness now, let's take for example Paul in Ephesus okay, so Paul he goes to this place called Ephesus and over there We read that there was already a certain system Okay of worship which was established. So there was the goddess Diana There was her very famous temple and there was incredible You know a promiscuity or Immorality that people were living in and also There was a lot of sorcery Sorcery right in that particular city as well. So these were all Influences on the way of living of that particular region So the systems in that place you could say were Influenced similarly Corinth you can talk about, you know different things that existed in in the city of Corinth. So even today There can be systems. They can be world systems when we say world systems there can be the influence of the kingdom of darkness in the area of government or Let's say business or let's say Education, okay, so we must be able to discern. Hey Just take for example business in a particular region if business is going on and we notice That there is incredible corruption Okay, there's no justice in the way the system functions to some extent Yes, these are the decisions of people You know when when we make righteous decisions as believers. We are living in the spirit But when we make unrighteous decisions, what are we living in opposite of living in the spirit is? Sorry Kingdom of darkness. Okay. Can we say flesh? We're living in the flesh. Okay. We are either we have a choice We live by the spirit or we live by the flesh So to some extent, it's true as human beings We make the decision, you know to live in our flesh and what does our flesh want? Flesh is greedy flesh wants pleasure flesh wants, you know Everything to be easy pride Self all that and so we yield to it. So to some extent That is the reason why corruption may be existing in that business system, but After a while What happens is no we will talk about this later. We say open doors Okay, so when there are open doors After sometime, it's no longer just the decisions of the flesh, but demonic spirits can begin to energize the wrong activity So it becomes spiritually empowered So there can be a strong demonic influence behind the corruption in a particular business system similarly, you know, take Education or the field of art for some time, you know people are playing music and They're just singing songs about, you know, just pride and life and pleasure Okay, this is a human decision, but the more we go in that line and we You know are moving away from Honoring God and honoring the truth. What happens? We are opening the door to influences Right and what happens the system we could say, hey, this is art. This is culture This is fashion different systems They can actually start getting empowered by the spiritual realm the wrong influence. So You've seen so far that there is a spirit world and The spirit world can influence The natural world it can happen through we said Individuals it can also happen through circumstances situations it can happen through world systems and It can happen in regions Now when I gave the earlier examples I Mention, you know the city of Ephesus. So what is this? It's a region. It's a geographical region The entire region is filled with sorcery Okay, so we might ask the question. Hey, how come the whole region They are into witchcraft. They are into black magic. They are into sorcery So when finally Paul ministers there we read that all those who repented they brought all their items You know the black magic kind of items and they burnt it Okay, it was worth many many it was worth a lot of money, but they repented They no longer wanted to associate with those occultic practices instead. They wanted to worship God So a geographical region of Ephesus has the influence of Saucery so similarly as you look at you know different cities. There's the the City of Athens we read about Athens over there. What is the the primary thing? Intellectualism right people just want to talk about new philosophies discussion humanism So there's a different influence on another city So similarly, we notice that it is possible for regions or spaces cities Territories to have a particular Influence, okay. Now it can be as we said Saucery or it can be some sort of a philosophy that they are influenced by Which is against God or it could be alcoholism. It could be You know corruption that we mentioned earlier it could be so many other evil things which are actually empowered by the The world of darkness the spirit kingdom of darkness So this is how we begin to discern What is actually going on? So cultural forms this also? I'm sure we are already aware, you know music dance a poetry Sculpts culture can they be influenced and Influenced by the kingdom of darkness. Yes, they can be So as you look at the expression of the art and you know cultural forms We may notice that it is so against God. How did it happen? Yes, to some extent people decided to do it But when they continue to go against God, no They can start being empowered by demonic spirits and then you know You're amazed with the kind of stuff that people write the kind of music that they write No, I've heard of crazy things that People heard some music and now they are being tormented. They cannot sleep in the night or You know people heard some music and it just caused them to be depressed And they're making bad choices and they're like so many crazy things are actually happening because it's beyond just You know a sort of a human influence now it has come into the range of a demonic influence Okay, so we must be able to discern when these things actually happen even organizations and Institutions it is possible that certain organizations, you know, they may form with the idea of promoting some ungodly practices or You know Bringing down the knowledge of God and they themselves could be they could have dedicated themselves as an organization or an Institution to these demonic forces, you know, sometimes some organizations are directly dedicated to or they are dedicated to this Spirit and that spirit. So then what happens? They become an expression of that particular spirit, right? So that's how the influence happens in the natural realm We can also see that sometimes buildings spaces Homes and objects can also be influenced by demonic powers. So, you know, you look at this particular space If that space has been we'll see later How exactly can we form that influence? We will talk about it how to engage the spirit world that we will talk about Just in a few minutes, but it's possible that a given space has been Dedicated to the demonic like as soon as you enter you can sense That hey, something is wrong. I'm I don't feel at peace, you know So a space Can be dedicated sometimes there are objects Okay We we see like in the Old Testament we see God telling the people don't take those objects of worship of other gods Just destroy them don't even take it. The reason is many a time, you know demons can You know, they can latch on to or they can dwell in some of these objects And when we take those objects, it's it's like saying, okay, you come with me and we take the demon along Okay, so these are the dangers. So these are all ways in which the kingdom of darkness can actually Influence us. So how exactly do people end up engaging the demonic in? In in the natural world. So what is once again, I just want to reiterate Why are we talking about all these things? It's not to create some sort of an unhealthy interest In in researching the demonic not at all. It's for us to understand Oh, this is how it works and this is what the word of God says about the power of the cross and the power of the Holy Spirit and this is the way in which We can overcome all these negative influences. So that is the Motivation with which we are discussing these topics. So coming right back To what I was saying, there are certain ways in which people Engage the spirit world Okay, so it's like saying in other words Invite the spirit world to come and influence So how is it that people are inviting or engaging the demonic into the natural world? So a couple of things for us to understand First one is through disciplines Okay, disciplines. What are disciplines? Disciplines are regular practices They can even be daily practices that people follow. What are some of the daily practices that there are practices such as prayer Incantations in cantation means, you know, like you chant you say some things Right, you chant and you invite the spirits. There are Practices of worship They can also be practices of meditation when you meditate on something Right, which is definitely not godly. Then what happens that can invite demonic spirits. So Meditation There can be even certain lifestyles that people adopt. No, we've seen in the Like biblical times even during like the first century when the church was alive Morally wrong Lifestyles that people were caught in like even in the city of Corinth Wrong sexual relationships prostitution as temple worship. So these kind of Practices right lifestyles. They also open the door for the demonic to come and influence Okay, so not just Immoral sexual behavior, but there can be things like things that have to do with some sort of addictive habits, you know Addictive things that we do we say it's part of our lifestyle when it becomes a part of our lifestyle No, these these regular sort of practices and habits. What do they do? They open the door for demons For demons to come Okay, which is why when one becomes a believer we say repent and renounce Leave these things leave these practices if you were involved in some sort of you know Meditation some sort of prayer some sort of worship which is not Unto the Lord Jesus Christ you need to get it out of your life Otherwise, what happens the door is still open Through the practice through the lifestyle for the spirit world to influence so disciplines We have to be very careful. Sometimes believers say, hey, nothing will happen. What will happen? I'm already in Christ I'm already saved. I'm redeemed Nothing will happen, but you notice There are these doors that the demonic demonic realm uses to get into The circumstances and the systems right to influence the lives of people and so we have to be very careful Sometimes some music Some some you know people say, oh, yeah, you can say anything. It doesn't matter No life and death is in the power of the tongue. We have to be very careful about, you know, what we what we speak and what what we Say words of worship that come out of our mouth because it there is a Chance for the demonic realm to actually begin to influence. So disciplines Okay, these are some things that we have to be careful about now. Next is Dedication okay, dedication. So what is dedication? There is a passage given in our notes from Deuteronomy 7 Verses 25 and 26. I'll quickly read it for us It says you shall burn the carved images of their gods with fire You shall not cover the silver or gold that is on them. Not take it for yourselves Lest you be snared by it for it is an abomination to the Lord your God Nor shall you bring an abomination into your house Lest you be doomed to destruction like it you shall utterly Detest it and utterly abhor it for it is an occurs thing So even under the old covenant God told his people Not to have anything to do with something which is dedicated to other gods So in this case, what is he talking about? He's talking about some objects Those objects had silver and gold and you know those were objects of worship So he says don't touch them. Just burn them. Don't bring them into your house. They are an abomination You know those things are accursed. So have nothing to do with them Why did God say that? Because these objects are which have been dedicated to other gods They form an open door for the demonic spirits Now not just objects We can have sometimes Music which is dedicated So the moment you have that music playing what happens? It's an invitation to demon spirits. You can have certain dance forms Which are dedicated to certain gods. They also can be an open door Inviting demon spirits to come. You can have you know many other things. We already said lands buildings spaces Activities certain activities, you know people engage In in some some sort of something that they do together, which is ungodly even that can become a Wain which no demon spirits can enter. So any form of dedication to other gods actually becomes an open door and Demons use it as an expression. Now, I don't know if you have ever seen this but I have Seen it on TV You know, there are some people who are dedicated to certain gods and when their festivals come They they fast and they do all sorts of activities to make themselves ready to get the spirit on them Right? So you must have seen it So then the spirit comes on them and they behave very different as compared to their normal selves They might even do some things which are unusual, right? Beyond their physical capacity They are able to do some very crazy things But how is it possible? How is it possible? Because the individual Has dedicated all their faculties to a spirit or a set of spirits. So then what happens? When there is a dedication Those spirits can actually use everything for themselves Okay, so when I when I'm saying I'm dedicating myself or I'm dedicating my child Sometimes parents do that, you know, when they're not in Christ They dedicate their children to certain gods or grandparents. They do that They take the grandchild put the child in the temple or someplace and they say, okay I'm dedicating my grandchild to the god of whatever, you know, you might say the god of intelligence or the god of strength Whatever, whatever they choose. So what is this dedication? Dedication is nothing but one offering everything to a certain god or spirit. So then Whoever is dedicated Becomes an expression of that spirit You got it? So This is in the negative sense So as I told you a person who has dedicated themselves and calls the spirit and the spirit comes and it behaves the way It's used to behaving. You know, maybe drink a lot of alcohol or something crazy like that, you know, break things Which which is what the spirit Will express itself as Because that's what the spirit desires. So the person has now become what an expression of that spirit now when Children are dedicated Grandchildren, what are what are the parents saying or the grandparent? They are saying, okay, come your spirits You can take over You can express yourself through my child my son my daughter my granddaughter my grandson or whatever is dedicated, right? So this is the negative aspect of it But here's the positive aspect. What is the positive aspect? You and I as believers of the Lord Jesus Christ. What do we say? We say one must Dedicate themselves to God Okay, we must remember when we talked about prayer we said there's a prayer of Consecration in which what are we saying God? I give myself to you I give every part of who I am to you. I give my thinking to you I give my voice to you. I give my strength to you So when I dedicate myself or I consecrate myself unto the Lord The same thing applies. I become an expression of God and his work, right? So then what happens each one of us we can Release the anointing of God through our lives because now what has happened my life is dedicated to Christ So who can who am I inviting? Christ My life is dedicated to the Holy Spirit that who am I inviting the work of the Holy Spirit? So I become a channel or I become an expression of God and his work so you see the good and the bad side of Dedication so when one is dedicated to the kingdom of darkness They become an expression of the kingdom of darkness, but if one is dedicated to the kingdom of light Who do we become an expression of the kingdom of light so? Dedications can Engage the spirit realm. Yes, Prince you have a question Yes, yes Yeah, definitely. See if now as a believer, I I have a lifestyle where every day I take time to pray every day. I take time to read the word See what's happening? I'm inviting the Holy Spirit all the time. So I'm having that influence that spiritual influence in my life. And what is it doing to me? I'm being transformed personally and being cleansed So it works both ways it works. Yeah, correct. So we should let go of the The wrong lifestyle the old lifestyle and develop a new lifestyle discipline. Okay, good. So Disciplines we understood they can open the door Then we said dedication can also do that. Now. Here's the Third one through which people engage the demonic realm Sacrifices Okay Now somehow People all around the globe understand this no matter which community they belong to there is an importance For sacrifice But somebody has to sacrifice Okay. Yeah, so if if Unfortunately, there are places where they still do crazy things like human sacrifices and all but otherwise They do animal sacrifices, right? Why? because they want to gain the forgiveness and the favor of the so-called Spiritual forces that they are praying to and so a lot of people practice Sacrifice even sacrifice kind of it's similar to dedication only where you know one is One is becoming a channel for the work of the Spirit. You see what? Paul says in Corinthians first Corinthians 10 very interesting versus 19 through 21 He says what am I saying then that an idol is anything or what is offered to idols is anything? Rather that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice Who are they sacrificing to? They sacrifice to demons and not to God and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons You cannot partake of the Lord's table and the table of demons. So in Corinth there was a lot of worship of you know other other pagan gods and Many people had become believers also. So Paul is giving them clarity. He's saying look when they are worshiping those You know objects which they have made Their sacrifices are not going just to the objects. Who is it going to? Demons, right? So what does Satan want? He wants worship Right, so that is the way even the demons function. They want worship So that's the reason they want sacrifice. They want all the disciplines and they want Just give and they take it because it's being sacrificed to Demons and so Paul is warning them and saying that don't eat and and don't share you know in those in those Things which are offered to Demons, okay, so even sacrifices actually open the door. So sometimes people offer material things What are material things? Okay, I have some fruits. I will sacrifice them. I will offer it up or I have some grain I will offer it up. I have some money. I will so they can be material things which are offered up to demons they can also be The shedding of blood, you know, sometimes people shed blood to to give sacrifice Because demons desire these things. They want it. Okay as as worship to them And I've already mentioned human sacrifice is also something in the word of God. We see in the Old Testament That there was a king of Moab in second Kings chapter 3 Who sac who offered his firstborn son on the city wall and it was not good in God's sight No, God was never happy about such a thing But you know people followed all these practices to worship their gods and These sacrifices Open the door for influence, but we thank God that the father sent his son the Lord Jesus and The Lord Jesus of his own will you know sacrificed his life to Break the influence of all the other Sacrifices amen and so that is the greatest sacrifice ever that God his only son his first born would shed his blood and You know redeem us from our sins that God has already given us the greatest sacrifice Okay, so sacrifice is one of the ways in which The demonic realm can be Engaged and of course, you know rituals and religious practices So all kinds of things people do know some some activities that they might do Do invite these demonic spirits. So these are all ways in which You know the demonic realm can influence. So I think I will stop here and the next class I will touch upon the spirit world and how it recognizes The authority and we'll talk a little bit more about Power and authority and see if we can move further into chapter 2 So at this point if there are any questions, I'll be nice to address them Yes. Yes, Francis. Yeah, so Francis question is Some people use martial arts for worship. Can that also be considered as dedication? Yes Yeah, any form of art can be considered can be used for dedication Sorry, can you come again? Okay, so see That's a good question. Also what Francis is saying see Maybe there are people who practice a certain martial art, but they in their mind They have no nothing to do with gods or worship. They're just doing the martial art, right? Is it okay? Are you are are you saying that? So what we would say is if anything has its origin in the occult in Worship of spirits or you know certain gods. It's best to stay away from it. Okay, the reason is It has originated For the sake of worship, so that there can be parts of that particular Art form or worship that can have a negative influence. So it's best to stay away from it. Yes Yeah, okay Okay, good question. So Prince saying that when a believer Opens the door for some sort of a demonic influence. What will happen? When they die because they were influenced, you know, in their in their habits or behavior by that particular demonic power So one thing we have to get clear princess that a believer cannot be possessed by demons We cannot be possessed by demons. Okay, because we are possessed by the Holy spirit. So anyone who is in Christ born again You and I can never be possessed by demons. We should never say believer is possessed. This believer is possessed That's a wrong theology. We should never say that but we can use the word demonized Okay, demonized means that they are being influenced Because they have given the permission. They have been demonized So when such a person may die As far as I'm concerned, I don't think God takes away salvation. So Yeah, right and wrong has been done in life. But I Think they will go to heaven. God doesn't take away salvation unless they give it up So good questions any other thoughts, it's good to understand what we are studying Okay, good. So Anand is asking What is the difference between demonized and demon possessed? Demon possessed is a term we use for unbelievers They don't have the Holy spirit in them. So Demon spirits can go and live in them So the demon possessed is only used for unbelievers Demonized is influenced at whatever level And we use that term for believers A believer can be demonized but an unbeliever can be demon possessed Correct. So when we say demonized a believer is demonized. So usually think of it like this. Okay This is how I think of it in the mind Okay, you can you can think of Like demons come When there are strong holds in our lives, let's just say for example, I have a I have this habit of lying and You know cheating As a believer and God has convicted me many times, but I don't want to change. I'm still lying cheating. It's part of my life I'm continuing the same way And in my mind, I have justified nothing is wrong with me So what's happening a stronghold is being built in my mind Where I'm a believer But I'm a lying cheating believer Okay, and what happens is When you think of a stronghold a stronghold is like a fortress. You would have seen in some of the cities, no The old kings they have built walls So it's like a fortress. So in my mind, there is a fortress Stronghold so demons cannot come and live in my spirit Because I have holy spirit is there in me. Okay. I'm still a praying tongue talking worshipping believer But in the stronghold The demon can come and sit understood so Because I have given permission In the stronghold and it is protected. It's already protected in the stronghold till I Break the if I break the stronghold, there's no place for the demon But if I don't play break the stronghold in my mind full influence By the demonics demonic spirits. So that is demonized Yeah, mainly our minds mainly they try to manipulate us Because that's the only way they can have victory in a believer's life by manipulation Okay All right. Okay. Good. Good food for thought. I would encourage you to please read Revise your notes again. And if you have any questions, I know all of you are on google classroom Isn't it registered? Just post your questions on the stream page. We can address it Okay, so let's close with the word of prayer today and thank you everyone for joining So anyone would like to lead in prayer Take this mic and pray Lord, I thank you for this day.
