JESUS PREACHED REPENTANCE AS A CONDITION OF SALVATION The meaning of the word Salvation is the deliverance from sin and its consequences. Sin separates us from Jesus. Jesus preached repentance as a condition to salvation 19 times and called the church to repent 7 times in the Book of Revelation. One of the assignments of demons is to speak to the minds (oppress) of Christians and entice them to justify staying in their sin instead of pursuing deliverance and freedom from it. Jesus never said for people to stay in their sin after He healed and delivered them. He told them to go and sin no more. He told everyone to repent for their sin and follow and obey Him and the Bible. Repenting means to change and turn away from sin and walk in obedience with God. When a Christian forgives all, repents for their pride and sin and is delivered from demonic strongholds in their souls then sin loses its attraction and then becomes rare in their lives. That’s why the Holy Spirit convicts us for sinning so that we change and make sin rare. We need the Holy Spirit to help us to forgive everyone and then…

YOUR PAST PAIN HAS QUALIFIED & ANOINTED YOU TO HELP OTHERS   Many who have been greatly hurt in the past have some of the greatest and strongest anointings from God to help others to be healed from the very same pain and trauma. When we have obeyed the Bible and forgiven everyone who hurt us like Jesus did then God anoints us to help others who are going through similar wounds to learn how to forgive and heal. When we choose to forgive those who hurt us then it allows our sins to also be forgiven by God according to Matthew 6:14-15. You are able to understand why those who hurt you did what they did because they were hurt and wounded and had demons that tormented their minds and caused them to hurt you. Then God uses that experience to anoint you to help others to heal from the same pain you endured through forgiveness.  Your past painful experiences literally allow you to minister to others who have been hurt and abused in similar ways. You have a testimony of overcoming to encourage others. You learn not to take offense when others try to hurt you today. You…

PRIDE WILL DESTROY YOUR LIFE, MARRIAGE, RELATIONSHIPS & SALVATION  People get pride due to being being hurt through others emotionally or physically or being exposed to sexual things like porn, other people who touch them as a child, and they hear voices telling them not to trust anyone else, they must protect themselves, make all the decisions in life, tell others what to do. On earth there is nothing like him, Which is made without fear. He beholds every high thing; He is king over all the children of pride.”” Job 41:33-34 NKJV These six things the LORD hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil, A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren.” Proverbs 6:16-19 NKJV Elisha told Naaman to wash in the Jordan river 7 times to get healed and he was indignant and prideful towards him and wanted to wash in a cleaner river. He had to be humbled before he saw his healing.  Pride means I don’t need God - I got it “But He gives…

GOD GIVES US THE HOLY SPIRIT TO GET DELIVERED FROM OUR DEMONIC SPIRITS So many Christians have been told lies that when they get the Holy Spirit that all demons have to leave them. They are told demonic spirits and the Holy Spirit can’t coexist in the same person. In reality they still behave in ungodly and sinful ways after they “ask Jesus into their hearts.” It’s because they still need deliverance from their demons that attach to their soul. They still have sin that is plentiful in their lives, pride, unforgiveness, anger, sicknesses, gossip, lying and sexual sin. Sadly the truth is that most will still have more fruit of the flesh than they do the spirit after spending years in the church. Just because you make an initial decision to follow Christ (or “ask Jesus into your heart”) doesn’t mean that demons have to leave your soul (mind, will and emotions). In fact they won’t leave you as long as they have legal rights to stay. Why would they leave you alone if you are giving them rights to stay through unforgiveness, pride and sin? Derek Prince stated that some of the most dangerous people in the world…

THE PROCESS OF SANCTIFICATION The process of sanctification could take a person years depending on how long they want to be in control of their life versus giving their life to Christ. Many Christians just go through the formality of “asking Jesus to come into their hearts” but stop there and never truly forgive all who hurt them nor repent “change” from living a life full of sin to one that resembles how Jesus lived. Below is the typical sanctification process that is required to see the true fruit of the spirit that Jesus wants in all true believers. THE PROCESS OF SANCTIFICATION: 1 - Make a decision to follow Jesus Christ and to become a true believer 2 - Understand that Christians are tormented by demons until completing the sanctification process 3 - Stop blaming spouse or others for your sinful behavior and own it and decide you want to truly change 4 - Humble yourself from your pride 5 - Truly forgive all who hurt you from your heart 6 - Repent for your sin and truly change 7 - Command demons to go from you 8 - Walk every day in forgiveness to those who hurt you.…

WOUNDED PEOPLE PROVOKE OTHERS TO STEAL THEIR PEACE When we get hurt and wounded growing up and aren’t able to forgive those who hurt us from our hearts then we will trigger on our current relationships. We will overreact, get angry, feel jealous, act like we are the victim, behave in ungodly ways, and then provoke and blame our spouse, children or others closest to us. Demons will give us thoughts to provoke people to cause them not to have peace and in order to get a reaction out of them. People who provoke others want their targeted victims to get angry and respond back in more hostile words or behaviors so they can point their finger at them and blame them instead of taking responsibility for initiating the attack. It allows them to have a level of satisfaction of controlling them to get them to lose control of their emotions and then blame them. The demons within them want the initiator of the attack to never admit that they started the fight and were the aggressor so then they can blame the responder for their reaction and portray themselves as the victim. Many who respond are exasperated because the…

The typical church and pastor preaches that once a person asks Jesus to come into their hearts that they are saved so then the next step is to disciple them so that they know more about the Bible and do some good works for Jesus.  Some of them get into teaching at church or leading small Bible groups, helping with worship or music, go on mission trips, etc.  Some get filled with the Holy Spirit, speak in tongues, prophesy over others, cast out demons from people, do many miracles for the Lord.   What great Christians these people are, right?  But according to the Bible (Matthew 7:21-23) it states that many of these Christians will not get into heaven.  Why? Matthew 7:21-23 NKJV I Never Knew You 21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’   Sadly I know of many who would…

If a person gives their life to the Lord, then joins a church where they are being taught by a pastor or other leaders who are operating in the spirits of Jezebel and Leviathan, what happens?  Unfortunately they will be hurt because those spirits in the leadership will control, manipulate, lie, deceive, lead people into pride and otherwise cause them to be hurt and shut down.  They will condemn them into feeling worthless and belittled.  They will cause them to become religious and not operate in the true freedom of the Lord.  If they teach them about their identity in Christ yet discourage them from getting delivered from the influence of demonic voices whispering in their heads that have a legal right to continue to harm them, they will never be able to truly walk in freedom. Thus until the church leaders and ministries get themselves right and pure in the Lord, being honest and forthright, being set freed from any demonic voices that are causing them to control and manipulate other people, then revival will not be able to occur and be long lasting.  Jezebel and Leviathan are causing most churches to be stagnant or people are changing churches…

There is often a misconception of someone that is operating in the Jezebel spirit.  Many believe that the person is only a woman and is very sexually seductive.  While some that are afflicted by that spirit are very overtly driven by their sexuality in order to gain power over a man in ministry, there are far more that are operating in the spirit in a much more subtle, less obvious way.  And while the Jezebel spirit affects a higher percentage of women than men, men also operate in it as well and are just as deceptive and their verbal assaults are even more intimidating. A person that is tormented by the Jezebel and Leviathan spirits typically grow up with the lack of true, unconditional love from their fathers.  They can also have an extremely controlling and manipulative mother.  Usually their fathers are busy, therefore do not spend much time with them, are controlling, critical and their child does not feel like they can just be themselves around them.  In the more extreme cases - their fathers are emotionally harsh, and can even be physically or sexually abusive. So if you or someone you know are being affected by the Jezebel spirit,…

When I first launched my Healing Rooms in October of 2015 at New Life Assembly of God in Noblesville, IN, I suspected that the reason many people did not get healed when receiving prayer was due to past generational curses and other demonic spirits that had a legal right to torment them.  The Holy Spirit told me that the previous Healing Room that I worked at, which would not address any deliverance or breaking off curses, was not seeing as many healed due to not addressing the spiritual components first. So I let the Holy Spirit direct my sessions with people, and sure enough when it was brought to the person's attention that they had a Jezebel or Leviathan spirit operating or a generational family curse that came down the blood line, it made all the difference in the world.  We would address it by having the person take their authority in the spirit and had them read the prayers in my book Restored to Freedom.  They could then feel the spirits lift off of them and they immediately felt lighter, like heavy chains were broken off of them.  They also felt tremendously peaceful for the first time in their…
