 Okay, so this verse is from, I mean, we all know this verse, Proverbs 16 and verse 3, commit your works to the Lord and your thoughts will be established, commit your works to the Lord and your thoughts will be established, a very family verse and a very awesome promise that when we commit our works to Him, our very thoughts will be established and whatever is in the thought realm, our imaginations, I just like to extend it to all that our imaginations will be established, our emotions, which stem from our thoughts, will be established and so on. So when we commit our works to Him, I guess today we looked at Romans 6, at how we are called to present our members to Christ in the same way when we commit our works to Him, then everything from the thought level, whatever stems from that, and imaginations, emotions, everything will be established and that's a promise from the Word of God. So we'll do well to commit our works to God and in committing our works to God, everything kind of is purified, refined and every, maybe even our attitude towards something or more than attitude, even if we had something hidden or something hidden, the thoughts of our heart are exposed. So in that, there is clarity and also there is refining and there's purifying. So let's just pray this morning and say, Lord, we commit our works to You, whatever we are expected to do, whatever our work responsibility requires, whatever tasks that need to be done. Lord, we commit it to You, maybe as students, you're saying, okay, God, I need to complete this. I need to study this. These assignments and really responsibilities to study, go back and maybe look into whatever was taught in class and maybe there's a backlog, etc. Just commit that area to the Lord and the promises that our thoughts will be established and I would say the thoughts, imaginations, emotions, everything will be established. So let's pray. Father, we thank You this morning that for this promise that when we commit, Lord, when we roll it off our back, whatever works that we need to do, God, when we place it at Your feet, God, our thoughts will be established, made firm, made clear and, Lord, resulting in a great action, God. So, God, we thank You, Lord, that You and even our thoughts are established, even our Lord. What our mind ponders about God, what our mind meditates on, Lord, and as a result of that, the emotions that arise, God, everything is established by You, Father, God. We thank You and, Lord, we pray that each of us, Father, God, that we may experience that establishing of thoughts and imaginations and emotions, even right now, Lord, as we commit, Lord, ourselves to You, as we present ourselves to You, God, as our members, everything within us, God, as we present ourselves to You and, Lord, as we commit our works to You, God, maybe experience the establishing work of Your Holy Spirit, Lord, establishing our thoughts, establishing our actions, God, maybe experience that even right now, Father, God, we thank You, we bless Your name, we give You all the praise and glory, in Jesus' matchless name, we pray, amen, amen. Okay, hey, those of you who joined in, yeah, good morning, welcome. We're going to continue from where we paused yesterday, which is we're looking at the restoration of our soul, and we looked at how we've been given authority to cast out demons, to cast them off from whatever they are oppressing us with, it could be oppressive thoughts, it could be maybe we have given them permission, we've given them an invitation to step in and oppress and maybe create fear and all that, and we have been given the authority to expel, we've been given the authority to cast them out. So what we need to do is receive that authority, receive that truth, embrace that truth, and say, yes, maybe we've been a believer for many years or we've been new believers, it does not matter, maybe you've been a compromising believer or a victorious one, again, put aside that compromise and say, God, I receive this, I thank you for the authority that you've given me to resist the work of the enemy and to come against the work of the enemy, and to give no permission for the work of the enemy in my life and others who are connected to my life. The next one that we are seeing, we see is, just share the notes, the next thing that we see is about the work of the Holy Spirit or the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Now we know what anointing means, anointing is the presence and the power of the Holy Spirit. So by the power of the Holy Spirit, every yoke or every bondage is broken, when you say bondage, just imagine a knot, just imagine tying something in a knot or something like a chain or a leash which is restraining, maybe if you have a pet, you take the pet on a leash on a walk and the dog wants to go left or go there, run over there, but the leash actually is restraining leash. Now here, the restraining leash is not a good one, it is restraining us from actually preventing us from going into the things that God wants us to go into, doing those things that God wants us to do, experiencing those things that God wants us to experience. So that's a very restraining, constraining leash. So here we have the anointing of the Holy Spirit which breaks that leash or breaks that entangle, the restraining thing which we call as a bondage. So if we look at Isaiah 10 and verse 27, so this is what we see Isaiah 10, 27. And it shall come to pass in that day that his burden will be taken away from your shoulder and his yoke from your neck, and the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil. Now we know the oil is the type of the work of the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament. And so here he's actually talking about the return of the remnant of Israel and the Lord is talking about the Assyrian and the Egyptians and so on, and then he's talking about the Midianites. So here he's talking about the liberty of the freedom here for the people of Israel. And the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil. So the anointing refers to the work of the Holy Spirit. The oil refers to the type of the Holy Spirit, and the anointing is the anointing oil, the work, and the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. And Isaiah 61, if you go, we turn over to Isaiah 61 and you can follow through the notes as well. It says, the Spirit of the Lord is upon me, and we know this is a prophetic passage which the Lord reads out, and then he says, today this is fulfilled in your hearing, and we see that in the gospel. So here Isaiah 61, the Spirit of the Lord God is upon me because the Lord has anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound. So you see those things that are listed there. Spirit of the Lord God is upon me because he has anointed me, and then talks about all the various things that he has anointed to do, anointed to carry out, to preach good tidings to the poor, to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of prison to those who are bound, to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, to console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes. Now he talks about some exchange, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the Spirit of heaviness that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, and that he may be glorified. And then it goes on to talk about what they will do. They shall be named the priests of the Lord, and they will rebuild this, and so on. The anointing of the Lord. So the anointing of the Lord, an empowering person to do these things, but you see the outcome of it is to, the outcome of the anointing is to comfort, is to heal the brokenhearted, is to bring liberty, the opening of prison to those who are bound. So the anointing of the Lord does that. So we're looking at restoration of the soul when it comes to bondage, when it comes to morning, when it comes to all these things, the work of the Holy Spirit is there to restore the soul of the person, a soul that is weary, a soul that is in mourning, a soul that is in a way, comfort less, without hope maybe. So that's the presence and power of the Holy Spirit which goes beyond even our human reasoning, which goes beyond our human reasoning, the work of God. And no wonder, the Word of God very clearly says, where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty, there is freedom. And the Holy Spirit is called, he is called the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, with his presence and power and his ministry, there is a freedom and a liberty that we experience. And we've all experienced it, it could happen in a corporate setting when there's maybe a time of worship that's happening, and then we experience the presence of the Lord. And for some strange reason, whatever heaviness that we walked in with, it just dissipates, whatever mountains that seem to be before us are just not there, and we experience joy in our spirit. And it happens, and we're not able to give any reason for that joy, because we know in the back of our mind that problem is still there, it's not solved yet, but the work of the Holy Spirit to change us on the inside, to change our emotions, to lead us into freedom in the emotional realm, in the realm of our soul, to give hope and the assurance of his presence. And in a supernatural way, sometimes it might be completely down in our spirit, it's just down and we just may be praying or maybe not even able to pray, but we're just inviting the work of the Holy Spirit and saying, God, nothing comes out, words come out, but all we're able to say is, Lord, we need you, Lord, and that's all, that's it. And the work of the Spirit of God, which brings in so much of joy and peace, there's restoration, and that is what the anointing of the Holy Spirit does for us personally. So what is the basis for our healing and restoration and the basis for the restoration of our soul? Well, it is the anointing, the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. So we know this is the ministry of the Holy Spirit, so we can base our expectation for healing and restoration, we can base it on the power and presence of the Holy Spirit. The next thing that we see is that the word of God, the engrafted word, the implanted word, which is again quickened to our hearts and by the Holy Spirit. It becomes part of us, it cleanses, heals, brings about restoration. James chapter one verse 21, therefore lay aside all filthiness and just give me a minute please. Yeah, therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word which is able to save your soul. So this is the thing, laying aside is part of it because that's kind of hindering, laying aside all filthiness and all overflow of wickedness and that requires us to do something, you know, that requires our choice, we need to lay aside and so that's the first thing, lay aside all filthiness and overhaul wickedness and the second one is to receive. Okay, to receive with meekness the word of God, the engrafted or the implanted word of God. Okay, so what does it mean which is, you know, which is the implanted or engrafted one is something that the word of God, which means that it has this whole idea of bringing into our being, okay, the word of God being brought into our being and that is what is brought in, drawing it is not there, it's brought in and we know that is also a work of the Holy Spirit, it quickens the word to us, right, and so there is a deficit of the word and that word it says here, which is able to save your souls, which is able to save your souls and word there is sojo, the word for Greek for save is sojo, which means to save, it means to keep a person, take a person out of danger, to save, to deliver, to protect, to heal, to preserve and so on, right. So this word of God, this engrafted or quickened by the Holy Spirit word of God, this timely reema word of God is able to save our soul, right, and the word their soul meaning suke and whatever that is there with the soul rem, right, which is able to save our souls. So there is a safety, there is a healing, there is a, you know, we are being made whole in this area through the word of God, right, and the word of God is so precious, we are actually made whole through the quickened word of God. So the word of God is, I mean we know Hebrews 4 talks about the word of God being living and the word of God, sorry, the word of God being sharper than any to it, so the word of God being able to differentiate between, you know, the thoughts of the, the intents of the heart, the thoughts and so on. So the word of God bringing life, bringing life to us and it is changing us, changing us and the psychological part of us, changing our soul, right. John, look at John 15, John 15 and let's look at those verses where the Lord says I'm true wine and I don't know. So where he says that we need to abide in him and his words need to abide in us, okay. So abide meaning staying, dwelling. So he's saying if you abide in me, I'm the wine, you are the branches. Now, unlike a natural plant which is, the vine is, the branch is connected unless it's, you know, cut away physically. But we, we have the tendency to move away. We have the tendency to, we have the choice to really stay connected or disconnected. So it's not automatic. So which is why says the Lord says, you know, you, if you abide in me, okay. So it's a choice that you make to stay connected to the vine and my words abide in you, okay. And the Lord says you will ask what you desire and it shall be done for you. So you stay, you abide. Now that's going to be, you're going to know the will of God, you're going to know the desires of God and they're not going to be asking a miss. And then my words abide in you. So that's going to produce faith and that's also going to clarify and renew our love for him and purify, refine our desires again. And we will not ask them as what we will ask in faith. So he says, if you abide in me and my words abide in you, you will ask what you desire and it shall be done for you. So the ingrafted word affects us or changes us on the inside or transforms us. So we receive the word of God. There needs to be a clearing away of all wickedness and filthiness and overflow of wickedness at the word says, and we receive with humility with meekness the implanted word which is able to save our souls. So based on this, based on the word of God, based on the ministry of the Holy Spirit to bring the ingrafted word, to make sure that the word is ingrafted in us. So based on that, that's a basis again for our healing and restoration, for the restoration of the soul, for healing and deliverance. So this is again the basis for which we can say yes, there can be perfect restoration of the soul. And the word of God is able to bring that change, the word of God able to make that change in the soul of a person. The entrance of the word brings light. The entrance of the word brings light. So there is illumination because of the word of God. The word of God is light and his word brings elimination. And John chapter one is again talking about the eternal word, the living word, the person of the Lord Jesus says that in the beginning was the word and then goes on to say that was the true light, verse nine, which gives light to every man coming into the world. So he's talking about the V word being the true light. And so also the quickened word, which brings light to the entrance of his word, of the ingrafted word brings light. So where there is need for darkness to be dispelled, there is need for the word of God to bring in conviction, to bring in strength. The word of God does that. And that's the thing, you know, that's the beauty of it that is enough. The word of God brings about that change which nothing else can bring about. At the ministry of the Holy Spirit, the anointing of the Holy Spirit brings about change where no one else, nothing else can actually bring about. Of course, there's always, there could be a human agent as an instrument, but the work of the Spirit. I just want to share, you know, like two years ago, my father went on to be with the Lord. So there was a lot of change, especially for my mother. And she was, of course, inconsolable kind of missing in every day, because he was unwell for the last, I mean, for some five years before he passed away. So everything is revolved for her revolved around him, taking care, etc. So suddenly, there was a big vacuum, even though there was this assurance of, you know, where he was, there was this pain, constant pain for her, especially because, you know, that's what she was fully occupied with. So, of course, all of us, family, there and then, of course, we have to come back and then daily phone calls and in all the conversation, there is this whole thing of, again, reassuring about heaven, reassuring about where he was and all that. But still, there was that internally, you know, for her, it was not something was, I don't know, she wasn't at that place of strength and consolation till the time when in a dream, God really spoke to her, showed us some things, explained, and which was the work of the Holy Spirit. And from then on, you know, there was a mark change. There was a strength, there was a consolation, and there was a great change from that from that time onwards. So what I'm saying is that, you know, the work of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God brings about change. And no wonder the Holy Spirit is called the Comforter. Okay. He's called the Comforter. He's called the Helper. And he brings about help and comfort in a way, because he's the God of hope and comfort. He brings about, in a way, no human words or reasoning can. And all in this whole realm, you know, so true, we're anointing of the Holy Spirit to turn us away from a season of mourning into a different season altogether. So to take away the garments of clothes and garments of praise, and to take away the garments of heaviness, the spirit of heaviness, right? So the Holy Spirit does that and praise God for his work. So we can confidently base our faith, our expectation, our confidence in the work of the Holy Spirit, you know, as long as a person is able to receive or wants to receive, that's important, of course, right? So we see that the Holy Spirit able to, God is able to bring that to pass. Okay, so let's look at some things that we, as recipients of the work of God, recipients of the work of, you know, the anointing and the word of God, it is recipients of the finished work of the cross. There are some things that we need to do. Okay, there are some things that decisions that we need to make. Let's look at some of them. So one thing is to cancel all ties and close all entry points. So what does that mean? So that we looked at the fact that, okay, there could be, you know, we, either because of our ignorance, because of our own action or inaction, we could have inadvertently opened up ourselves to the influence of the enemy, right? To the influence of the enemy, to the oppression of the enemy. And the enemy comes with one agenda to steal, kill and destroy, to take away our peace, to steal away our peace, to kill whatever, you know, dreams we might have, right, figuratively speaking, but then also, in the naturally comes to steal, kill and destroy, right, to completely, you know, even before our time to take us off our purpose, right? So that's the agenda of the enemy. So if we have opened up our lives, right, because of our action, inaction, knowingly, unknowingly, then we must make a choice. We must make a choice to close, to identify, to recognize and to close, to acknowledge, okay, yeah, this is what I did, and, you know, I just wanted to, I want to close that, right? So efficiency four actually talks about how we need, we should not give a foothold for the enemy, right? And it's in, it's in, in the context of wrath, just anger, it's in the context of relationship. So it says here, you know, efficiency 425, therefore putting away lying, let each one of you speak truth to this neighbor for we are members of one another, right? Be angry and do not sin, do not let the sun go down on your wrath, nor give place to the devil, goes on to give other instructions. So the thing is, do not give a place, a foothold, an open door to the devil, to the enemy, right? Now, the Lord has provided his provision on the cross, his finished work on the cross, the work of his Holy Spirit and the ministry with Holy Spirit, and the word that he's made available for us, all that is, you know, this provision is provided for us. Now, it requires our choice, our decision to do certain things, right? And so now we cannot blame God. And sometimes we do that, we sometimes turn around and blame God, but the fact is that God is for us, he is on our side, right? And certain things, you know, the way he is, he has created us, we need to make that choice, we need to make that decision. And actually Satan tries to keep us, you know, very subdued from even making that choice, right? Our will is so weakened that we are, you know, we're not willing to make that choice, make that decision to stand up and make that choice. Our will is so battered over and over at times, right? We're not able to make that decision. So this decision to close all ties of the enemy, to sever all, cancel all ties of the enemy, and to close all the entry points is something that we need to make. And the example is that, yes, we are God's property, and he has granted the stewardship of our spirit, soul, and body, you know, which means that, okay, he's given us, okay, you worship out of your own free will, you make the choice, you make the choice to, you know, to abide, you make the choice to reject. God has given us that choice. So he's not going to, you know, force himself on us, or he's not going to, you know, completely cut away our will, so that we do things automatically without, you know, whether we like it or not, he has given us that thing. So we are his property, and the perfect example is that of a landlord and a tenant, right? So, yes, we belong to the landlord, but the tenant, you know, has the right to use, or the landlord has actually given the permission, given that space, given that property and said, you know, this is now yours, okay, now you take care of it, now you live in it. Now what we allow into that, into our house is, is not the landlord's problem, but actually the tenants, you know, tenants' problem, in the sense, we need to be careful. The landlord, then landlord owns property, but then we are the ones who are living, so we need to steward it well, right? So we need to, if we are giving permission for somebody to walk in to that door, if we keep that door open and you know, I remember once, you know, in a place where we stayed earlier, we used to have these huge, I mean, balcony doors. So we used to normally keep it open, first floor, I think it was, second floor used to keep it open. And one day, suddenly, you know, my wife was just in the kitchen and she was shouting and she said, you know, Ruth, don't come down, don't come down, stay where you are. And it was at two levels at house, room was up and stay where you are. And then I just walked in and I see, you know, two monkeys and one of them is just sitting on the dining table, he's opened one box and some cakes were there, just taking it and then the other one is having some fruit in its hand and then, and then we shoot them off and then they, you know, went out. But the fact is, is we left the balcony door open and of course we didn't, we had no clue that these would come and we had, I think just started staying there. So these just came in and actually they made some two other visits also. So the other visit was really funny, my brother was actually sleeping on the couch and he, he actually woke up, he felt somebody was looking at him, he woke up and he saw this monkey, you know, just staring at him, standing close by staring at him. So the point is this, you know, they came in through that balcony door and the door was open. So I cannot blame the house owner for it. So as a tenant, it's up to me, it's up to me, I make the choice. So the similar way, you know, we have been given, we haven't provided, we've been given the authority, we've been given the empowerment, we've been, you know, the finished work of the cause, you know, you look at all that as believers and so we cannot afford to be passive. We don't have to be paranoid. Just want to say, you know, both those things, you don't have to be paranoid and say, okay, is the devil there? Is the devil there? Is he behind this door? Is he behind the curtain? You don't have to be paranoid because we've been given the authority, we've been given the, I mean, the finished work of the cross, the provision of the cross has, you know, changed us and the indwelling presence of God, you know, he greater is he who is in us than he that is in the world. So we don't have to be paranoid. At the same time, we should not be passive in the sense, you know, very passive, not alert, not thinking, not, you know, having foresight, not discerning, right? So we cannot have both extremes. So, you know, dynamic and living and thriving relationship with God with the Holy Spirit, he's speaking to us, we as community communing with him and, you know, he alerts, he prompts, he shows us in very different ways. And of course, he's given us the, you know, our minds to use and common sense and all that wisdom, right? So we can make those decisions, right? So let's look at, you know, how are these entry points or ties and entry points, how are they established, right? We will look at that. So, but the thing is for us to understand that, yes, we can make that decision to say no to the enemy. We can make that choice. And we have been given the authority. Okay. So we're going to look at that, you know, some of the ties and entry points and in fact, all the things that we saw earlier, when it was got to the problems of the soul, there are, yeah, from when it comes to generational bondages, maybe some dedication. So we're going to look at that in a little bit. So I will just move on to the next one, which is the restoration of the soul, receiving healing and deliverance. And we're going to look at, you know, different ways by which we receive healing and deliverance. And in doing so, we'll also look at some of these ties and things that we need to sever, you know, in our lives. Okay. So healing and deliverance through sanctification and consecration. Okay. So that's the first one, to sanctification and consecration. Okay. So which means that whenever we think of healing and deliverance, we normally have this, I mean, especially if we are in the charismatic church, you know, environment, and we've been there for a while, and we've also maybe seen the ministry up close. We've, we know that. Okay. When it comes to casting of demons, there is, you know, laying on hands and then the commanding that you will want to leave and so on, you know, that's, that's, but then it doesn't have to be a shouting match. It doesn't have to be that way at all. It doesn't have to be like that. It can be through sanctification, which means setting ourselves apart. It can be through just consecrating our lives. So when we sanctify ourselves unto the Lord, when we consecrate our lives, our, you know, actions, everything to the Lord, then automatically, there is a breaking off. There is a falling away of demonic influence in our lives. Right. There is a falling away. So what are we saying when we consecrate? We're saying yes to the Lord. We're saying no to the enemy. Right. We are, we're saying, oh, Lord, you know, you have access to my life. And with our will, you know, involves our will. We're saying, Lord, you have access. We invite you come in and take control. So there is a, as when light walks in, when, I mean, when there is light, there is the expelling of darkness or darkness leaves. Right. There is a disappearing of, dissipation of darkness. So, so it happens when we sanctify, when we consecrate our lives to the Lord. Okay. And, and it's an ongoing thing. Right. We do not open our lives by living unrighteous or, you know, lives by walking in sin, willful sin or ignorance, but we consecrate ourselves. Right. And some of the ways by which the enemy makes inroads need not always be through blatant sin. In the sense, you know, we, we know that, okay, certain acts of sin are very, very visible. And, you know, it's right there. But certain things are like very, very subtle. Right. And some things we know. Yeah, this is, it is the work of the flesh. It's very plain. And, and this is a big one. And it's very visible. I know how it will affect me and we can stay off. But certain things are very, very subtle. In a sense, it can be an attitude. Right. It can be something that I harbor in my heart. It can be, it can be so subtle. Right. It can be a hardening of heart. Right. And it can be a hurt or a grudge that I harbor in my heart. So it is very subtle. Right. It's, it's something that the enemy can actually have access to, you know, influence and give all reasons to say, yeah, you have every reason to be hurt. You have every reason to be angry. You have every reason to be offended. You are justified in doing that. And all that reasoning is happening. And the stronghold is being built in our minds and where we're saying, yeah, I'm, I can never forgive this person. Right. I'm, I can never forgive this person. I can never forgive this, whatever, you know, this family, this, this organization, what, you know, it can be, it can be anything. Right. All else, like, you know, all others I can, but this one person, you know, I can never forgive. And it is so subtle. Right. So which means that we are actually allowing the work of the flesh to take precedence over, over our lives. Right. We are being carnally minded. It could be a small area, but we are being carnally minded in that. Right. So, so that's the thing to continue to be tenderhearted. Right. And that's why we need the continued presence of God and we need to abide with him. And it's so, it's an ongoing thing. It's a daily ongoing thing where we go before him, where we present our members unto righteousness and we receive that cleansing, we receive that healing and wholeness. And we come out of our time with him, stronger, fresher to face the world and do things and we, and we do that. Right. So if it's a, like a very dedicated time in his presence. And of course, during the day, we're constantly communing with him. And, and this is, you know, not just for people in ministry, because we understand that, you know, like full time, quote unquote ministry, but it's for everyone. Right. You're working professional. You're a, you know, you're a homemaker. You're a student. It's for everybody. Right. Because people are people and people wherever we are, you know, we can, we can easily slip into offense and we can easily become hard hearted or when I have a grudge and so on in all environments where the people are involved, we can, you know, we don't need people around. We can, we can just send a text or email and whatever or ignore a text or an email and we get hurt. Right. So, so that's the thing. So through consecration and through a walk of sanctification, we are actually doing something very, very powerful. Right. We are giving inroads or we are opening up our lives for the work of the Holy Spirit. And we are shutting away the influence of the enemy, the insistent accusation of the enemy, right. The enemy screams guilt and shame and pours out guilt, shame and accusation and this is what he does, you know, he invites us to gives us options, consider options for sinning and justifying those options and so on. We cut away that voice. Right. You know, that doesn't mean that, you know, we will not, the suggestions won't be there, but we actually cut away the power of those suggestions. Right. When we, when we sanctify ourselves, when we consecrate ourselves onto the Lord. Okay. Okay. Any questions here? I think we have about five more minutes, but any questions? Anything that you might want to add? Okay. Everybody's okay. Right. Okay. So, healing and deliverance again through God's presence and anointing. We saw that. So, the presence of God brings about healing and it can be in a corporate setting when there's prayer, when there's ministry, when there's worship, you know. So, that's the, you know, that's a beautiful, beautiful thing that we are a body of Christ and, you know, there's someone who's praise over us and someone who ministers or we are together worshipping God, seeking God and you can come at a time when, you know, your heart is hungry and you're hungry for God and God needs that hunger. Right. And His presence, His anointing brings the difference. There's a release of, you know, release from all kind of heaviness and so on and also through the gifts of the Spirit. Right. Maybe there's a word of knowledge that is released and the word of knowledge, the word of wisdom and, you know, a prophecy that comes and then suddenly, you know, there is that, that is that breaking away of things that were holding us back. Right. So, third one is when we actively resist the work of the enemy. So, James 4-7 is very clear. Submit to God, bring yourself under the Lordship, under His Lordship, under His authority and then He gives the authority and strength so you can actually resist the enemy. Right. So, as you see the order, submit to God, resist the enemy. Okay. So, which means that we need to know what we need to, you know, how to submit to Him and we also need to discern what is the work of the enemy. Okay. And not get confused. God, God is doing His work and then we resist that instead. Right. And many times we do that, you know, we are, we're so inviting of the enemy and His work and we are resisting God and His work because, you know, that's sometimes inconvenient. Right. It's a work of cleansing, it's a work of refining and then we find it inconvenient. We resist that instead. Right. So, James 4-7, submit to God, resist the devil and He will flee from you. So, we are actively resisting the work of the enemy. Okay. First Peter 1 and verse 13, Gird up the loins of your mind, be sober and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Okay. So, gird up your mind, gird up the loins of your mind. Okay. So, and of course, I think you've heard it said so many times, the picture is that of, you know, of those times and customs, the kind of peril that they wore that they would gird it up, you know, if it moved to action, if you need to run and you don't want to trip on the, on your robe. And so, gird up the loins of your mind similarly, you know, maybe there are things that are just not allowing you to think clearly. So, you need to gird up the loins of your mind, be sober and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Now, it also talks about how, you know, this submission and resistance and everything, the core thing is relationship, intimacy with God, right? So, it is not some things, sometimes that we miss that out, right? We focus on the principle, yes, that is important, like even when it comes to renewing our minds and, you know, confessing the word and all that, these are, you know, important principles which are there and, yes, they have, they have, they have powerful principles which are like transforming, changing, right? But behind that is the relationship, the foundation of the, or the source of that is the relationship with the person, right? So, if we take that off and just focus on the principle or just work on the principle that maybe like a meaningless, you know, it will be an exercise, but what actually fuels that principle is the person, right? So, our relationship, intimacy with Jesus is what fuels the principle. We need to understand that, right? So, it's relationship with him, which is first and foremost and which really energizes the principles, like, you know, assisting the enemy, right? First and foremost thing is submitting to God. So, it's our relationship with him and so that is what will, that is what will actually take us through, right? Okay. So, we looked at two of these, three of these points. We, there are some more that we need to go through. So, we will, we will look at that, right? And these are things that we can actually, you know, ask God, I mean, we can actually do this for our own selves, right? So, we're going to look at some 14, 14 things, 14 steps. And even as we look at it from the next class, each of these we can actually, you know, put it to practice in our lives and then move on to the next one, right? So, we will do that from our next class. Okay. So, we'll stop here and yeah, you guys have a good weekend. God bless. We'll catch up next week. Bye. Thank you. Bye-bye. Bye. See you. Bye-bye.
