It's Time To Say No To Deception and Manipulation PART 2

WHAT MUST WE KNOW?

10.  Can any person claim to be anointed to specifically deal with demons, witchcraft etc.?

NO!

He/she will be a liar because:

a)  The Enemy Has Been Disarmed/Spoiled

Colossians 2:15
Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.

• To disarm means to completely take away every ammunition
• The enemy was left with no ammunition
• Do not allow anybody to deceive you - the Jesus has already done the job 
• Jesus triumphed over principalities and powers- to triumph is to conquer, to gain mastery/gain victory
• So Jesus conquered, gained victory, mastery over principalities and powers

-->

       
NOTE: We are not fighting for victory but from victory - our assignment is to enforce the victory of the cross over every devil.

Colossians 2:15 - Message Bible
He stripped all the spiritual tyrants in the universe of their sham authority at the Cross and marched them naked through the streets.

Colossians 2:15 – KJV
And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

• Jesus stripped every authority the devil had from him.
• Spoiled means - to damage severely or harm (something) especially with reference to it's excellence, value, usefulness etc.
• According to the scripture the devil was totally damaged as he lost the dominion, which he had taken from Adam through craftiness.

b)    Every handwriting that was against us has been wiped out

Colossians 2:14
Having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.

• Note - there were handwritings of requirements that were against us, which was contrary to us!
• Jesus wiped out every handwriting of struggle, poverty, failure, sickness, curses etc. -whatever
• Jesus wiped with His blood, cannot be traced again in your life
• And He has taken it out of the way - please realize that all those things that were against you were taken out of the way - there are no longer part of your life
• Jesus has taken out of the way everything that was against us and He nailed them at the cross -
• Jesus nailed all our handwritings at the cross. Don't allow anyone to deceive you that you are subject to suffer because of them 

• Therefore nobody should deceive you that you need to pay him or her to take away what Jesus already did!

c)   Satan is under our feet

Romans 16:20

And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

-->

   Anything that is under your feet is harmless! 

   It is Satan who should be complaining, not Christians as our feet continues to trample on him!

d)    We are made to be head over all things

Ephesians 1:21-23
Far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, 23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.

Deuteronomy 28:13
And the LORD will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them.

• Christ has already accomplished the task
• All things are under our feet
• You shall be above only, and not be beneath - this is not an opinion but an established truth. 
•  Behave and walk as one who is above only.
• If we are the heads and the devil is under our feet it is a contradiction to fear and always be intimidated by him!

e)    We are not in the devil’s domain

Colossians 1:13 
He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love

• Through the fall, we lost the dominion and we were enslaved by the devil; but at Calvary Jesus
• Christ totally paid the price to deliver us.
• So if Jesus delivered you - you do not need to go back to the kingdom of darkness to get another deliverance!
• Read John 8:36 - Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.
• Why would you need a pastor or a human being to free you when Jesus already did it? 
• You are needed to know you are free!

11. Who has the keys?

• WE INDIVIDUALLY HAVE THE KEYS!

Matthew 16:19 
And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

• With the keys of the kingdom of heaven it means you have access to every place in the kingdom
• “Keys” indicates that there are MANY
• “Whatever” means you have NO limitation
• It is not God’s responsibility to bind and lose for you
• Heaven will only act on earthly instructions
• So whatever you don't have is what you have not released
• Whatever you are struggling with is what you have refused to bind

How does this principle operate?

Through the use of your MOUTH

a)   You get what you declare

Job 22:28
You will also declare a thing, and it will be established for you; so light will shine on your ways.

• God will only establish what you declare with your mouth
• It does not mean that only positive things will be established - this is a spiritual law establishing whatever you declare with your mouth, whether positive or negative
• You cannot blame the devil for whatever is established in your life - what was birthed through your mouth

b)  God only confirms the word you speak

Isaiah 44:26a
"Who confirms the word of His servant, and performs the counsel of His messengers… "

• God is only committed to confirm what you speak with your mouth in accordance to His word.

c)  You are only snared by the words of your mouth

Proverbs 6:2
You are snared by the words of your mouth; you are taken by the words of your mouth.

Proverbs 6:2 - NLT
If you have trapped yourself by your agreement and are caught by what you said

• You are taken by the words of your mouth
• The New Living Translation says you trap yourself by your agreement - when you speak about your situation you are trapping yourself by what you are saying e.g. I can't make it, the economy is so bad, I feel confused etc.
• Note: the scripture does not say that you are trapped by demons - but by what you speak

d)    Your destiny is determined by your mouth

Proverbs 6:2-3
A man shall eat well by the fruit of his mouth, but the soul of the unfaithful feeds on violence. He who guards his mouth preserves his life, but he who opens wide his lips shall have destruction.

• Everything that comes your way will be by the fruit of your mouth - stop blaming the environment, the devil or others as your are responsible for bringing good fruits to your life through your MOUTH
• Your life is connected to your mouth - so guarding it preserves your life
• The Bible says that destruction comes from your lips - many have continued to blame the devil, their past, etc. but destruction is only SELF-INFLICTED through your MOUTH

e)    Death and life is in the power of the tongue

Proverbs 18:20-21
A man’s stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth; from the produce of his lips he shall be filled. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.

• Death and life is not in the power of your tongue - not the devil
• Many are blaming demons for the happenings in their lives - the Bible says whether you will see death or life in any area of your life is dependent on what your tongue releases.
• Whatever you see in your life can only be traced from your mouth
• Learn to speak life over all your situations regardless of what they appear in the natural

f)    Your mouth gives voice to the word of God - the angles heed to the voice of His word

Psalms 105:20
Bless the Lord, you His angels, who excel in strength, who do His word, heeding the voice of His word.

• By speaking God’s word you will give it voice, providing the angles with the opportunity to perform what we speak.
• The angles do the word of God when you speak it
• Every unspoken word of God is voiceless and can never be fulfilled over your life.
• Whatever the angles have not delivered to you is due to your silence or speaking contrary to the word of God.

g)    The composition of your life is written by your tongue

Psalms 45:1
My heart is overflowing with a good theme; I recite my composition concerning the King; my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

• Your tongue is a pen of a ready writer writing for you whatever you speak
• If you do not like the composition you read of your life - change what you are writing with your tongue

h)    You only have what you say

Mark 11:23
For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.

“Whoever says to this mountain” - this means:

• Everyone who believes is qualified to speak to their mountains
• It does not say that you go looking for the pastor or anybody else to speak to your mountains - you have the authority only if you believe
• The law states, "he will have whatever he says."- this implies that whatever you say, whether positive or negative, you are guaranteed to have it 
• You will not have what others say but what you say yourself
• “Says” is in the continuous  present tense thus whatever you need - you have to continue declaring that you have it by faith

Note: You will never have what your enemies say - but what you personally say!

i)    Nothing can contradict or resist what you speak

Luke 21:15
For I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to contradict or resist.

• Nothing can resist or contradict what you declare with your mouth
• So your mouth is your God-given weapon to defeat all the enemies of your destiny

j)    EVERYTHING is meant to obey

Psalms 18:44-45
As soon as they hear of me they obey me; the foreigners submit to me. The foreigners fade away, and come frightened from their hideouts.

• Everything in this universe s created to obey what you speak in faith
• Foreigners are those things that are not part the covenant - sickness, poverty, struggle, failure,    barrenness, curses etc.
• The foreigner submits to YOUR declaration.
