PAUL SAID TO JUDGE THOSE IN THE CHURCH WHO ARE SINNING When we are healed and delivered and sin is rare in our lives Paul said we absolutely need to judge those in the church and remove them if they are claiming to be believers yet have much sin in their lives. Otherwise they will cause much damage to those in the church due to their sin by lying, cheating, behaving sexually perverse, etc. Especially leaders. “When I wrote to you before, I told you not to associate with people who indulge in sexual sin. But I wasn’t talking about unbelievers who indulge in sexual sin, or are greedy, or cheat people, or worship idols. You would have to leave this world to avoid people like that. I meant that you are not to associate with anyone who claims to be a believer yet indulges in sexual sin, or is greedy, or worships idols, or is abusive, or is a drunkard, or cheats people. Don’t even eat with such people. It isn’t my responsibility to judge outsiders, but it certainly is your responsibility to judge those inside the church who are sinning. God will judge those on the outside; but…

CORE VS ALTERNATE PERSONALITIES When we get hurt growing up by a parent, sibling, classmate, neighbor, teacher, friend or anyone and are not able to forgive them demons will gain legal rights to affect our soul. Our soul is made up of our mind (thoughts), will and emotions and when we have been hurt and not healed we will not be able to live in a calm and peaceful core state as our emotions and thoughts will be triggered. Jesus said in Matthew 6:14-15 that if we refuse to forgive others who hurt us then God will refuse to forgive us for our sins. So as we grow older and become accustomed to hearing demonic voices in our heads (that sound like our own thoughts) or feeling strong emotions then we will trigger into alternate personalities. We will overreact in our responses to people over simple things. We will become angry, enraged, take offense easily, raise our voices, or give people the silent treatment to control them passively, or behave jealously due to our insecurities and unhealed soul wounds. We will not behave consistently in our core personality which is who we really would be most of the time when…

SOME OF THE MOST DANGEROUS PEOPLE ARE THOSE WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT & DEMONIC SPIRITS Derek Prince stated that some of the most dangerous people in the world are those with the Holy Spirit and demonic spirits. It’s because these people act like Christians in public, attending church regularly, giving tithes, some operating with the gifts of tongues and being able to prophesy but then they continue to behave in evil fleshly ways with anger, jealousy, pride, sexual impurity, lust, control, manipulation, lying, gossip and hurting people. He said we get the Holy Spirit in order to help guide us to get healed of our soul wounds through forgiving all who hurt us (like Jesus taught in Matthew 6:14-15), repenting for our pride and sin and getting delivered from demonic spirits so we can walk in the fruit of the spirit. But we all have free will and many don’t finish the process of sanctification and continue to live a very sinful life behind closed doors and then die and don’t make it into heaven. The Pharisees and scribes of Jesus’ days are alive and well in today’s world as more than half of all pastors look at porn regularly…

THE WAYS WE SELF-SABOTAGE OUR RELATIONSHIPS AND HOW TO AVOID IT Billions of people on earth just want to have a good relationship where they are loved and have their needs met but unfortunately many of them self-sabotage their own relationships and don’t even see it. The enemy blinds them in seeing what they do that creates strife and friction between them and their loved ones and has them blame all the issues on their spouse or children or other friendships. As long as you give them everything they want or obey their every command then they will get along with you – but as soon as you defy their demands then you will get an earful. So what are some of the ways we ruin our own relationships? Jealousy – unfortunately many people ruin their relationships because they have unhealed soul wounds from their past and do not know who they are in Christ and the enemy convinces them that if their spouse glances at another person from the opposite sex or has healthy interactions with someone from the opposite sex then they get triggered and will go off on their spouse verbally. They feel like they are going…

HAVE YOU CONSIDERED THE HIGH COSTS OF NOT GETTING DELIVERED? It is amazing when you think about all the money that a person wastes when they have soul wounds and are not delivered from demons. When we get hurt and wounded growing up through our parents, relatives, neighbors, friends, etc we will hear demonic spirits whispering to us to drink, smoke, do drugs, overeat, have sex outside of marriage, try to look like a supermodel or play like a professional athlete and then spend lots of money on all these endeavors. We also have relationships and marriages with people who are unhealed and have demons which cost us more money spending it on frivolous things and enduring emotional abuse leading to additional costs. So have you considered the high costs of not getting delivered? When we are healed and delivered we are able to save money from all these expenses below: - No longer spend money on addictive things like alcohol, cigarettes, marijuana, vaping, huffing, cigars, drugs, food, sex - No longer need to spend on vanity / prideful things such as various expensive cosmetics, fillers, plastic surgery, hair treatments, expensive latest clothes fashion, supplements, etc - Not need to…

THE CHURCH HAS LOST IT’S HEALTHY FEAR OF THE LORD “But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession. And he kept back part of the proceeds, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part and laid it at the apostles’ feet. But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself? While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.” Then Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and breathed his last. So great fear came upon all those who heard these things. And the young men arose and wrapped him up, carried him out, and buried him. Now it was about three hours later when his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. And Peter answered her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much?” She said, “Yes, for so much.” Then Peter said to her, “How is it that you…

HOW TO STOP DEMONS FROM GIVING YOU INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS In 2005, the National Science Foundation published an article summarizing research on human thoughts per day. It was found that the average person has about 12,000 to 60,000 thoughts per day. Of those thousands of thoughts, 80% were negative, and 95% were exactly the same repetitive thoughts as the day before. We can see that one of the tendencies of the mind is to focus on the negative and ‘play the same songs’ over and over again. There was another interesting study (Leahy, 2005, Study of Cornell University), in which scientists found that, firstly 85% of what we worry about never happens. Secondly with the 15% of the worries that did happen, 79% of the subjects discovered that either they could handle the difficulty better than expected, or that the difficulty taught them a lesson worth learning. The conclusion is that 97% of our worries are baseless and result from an unfounded pessimistic perception. Demons speak to Christians and non Christians alike every day giving them hundreds and thousands of thoughts to cause them to have fear, anxiety, anger, lust, bitterness, depression, suicidal thoughts. Demons say things to our minds like:…

HEALING & DELIVERANCE RESTORES YOUR CHILDLIKE INNOCENCE Children our easy targets for the enemy to hurt as they can’t protect themselves and are innocent. As we grow up we get hurt by people. Hurt by our fathers, mothers, siblings, teachers, church leaders, etc. We get exposed to pornography, touched sexually, molested, raped, nudity which causes demonic spirits of lust, perversion to give us urges to masturbate and have sexual relationships before we get married. We get messed up. We hear demonic spirits give us thoughts hundreds and thousands of times a day. And that includes those who attend church and can pray in tongues. When we are able to forgive all who hurt us, repent for our pride and sin, give the Lord our sexual lust and impure desires then the sexual images and illicit memories are wiped clean from us and we get our childlike innocence back. We become Childlike. We laugh more, tease, have wholesome fun, no longer desire to lust after people or seek out porn or behave in selfish ways. We want to play, exercise, go for walks outside, eat healthy, and we have love in our hearts for others. We are like children again in…

HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN YOU HAVE TRULY FORGIVEN THOSE WHO HURT YOU? The enemy wants to hurt us through other people deeply by what they say and do to us. People with demons will try to control you and feel like they can tell you anything and expect you to do what they demand. Betrayal from a person who is supposed to have loved you but then hurt you deeply with emotional abuse or worse and lied about you to others by blaming you is especially painful…especially from a parent or spouse. Christians with demons have double standards by being able to hurt and abuse their victims but then lie and twist the truth and tell as many people who will listen to their lies that they were abused and were a victim. Then those who are true Christians who were the true victims of abuse usually cover for the abuser to everyone (except for those who ask and then they reluctantly explain the truth). People influenced by demons have a lot of pride and believe they can abuse their victims and live a sinful life and then expect their victims to remain silent to cover their abuse for…

BE VERY CAREFUL WHOSE COUNSEL YOU RECEIVE There are about 30,000 pastors and over 120,000 licensed professional counselors, over 80,000 psychologists and over 30,000 psychiatrists in America who have people come to them for advice with which to handle issues in their own personal lives and relationships. Over the past year at Restored to Freedom, we have seen more and more people coming to us who have shared that they were given counsel from their pastors, counselors as well as other professionals that was actually unwise and hurt them as much of the counsel came from the person and not from the Lord or Holy Spirit. Many times the counsel given to them were from well-meaning pastors or counselors who had no understanding how demonic spirits cause people to behave which cause emotionally harmed people more harm by their aggressive / abusive spouses or controlling / abusive parents. Many times the advice was coming from a place of inexperience on the part of the pastor / counselor or sadly through similar demonic tainted like-minded spirits that were similar to the abusive spouse or parent. If they are Christian they often take scriptures talking about how “God hates divorce” in Malachi…
