Spiritual Stronghold 12 - Antichrist

Spiritual Stronghold 12 - Antichrist

This is one of the most difficult spiritual strongholds to try and overcome these days. The bible helps us to under why.

1 John 2:18 (NIV)
[ Warning Against Antichrists ] Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour.

1 John 2:22 (NIV)
Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist—he denies the Father and the Son.

2 John 1:7 (NIV)
Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.

Parents this spirtual stronghold has been attacking many children since the 1960s. It exists in every aspect of the average child's life.

• Television
• Music
• Radio
• Music Videos
• School
• Doctor's office
• Dentist's office
• Playground
• Foods they eat
• Places you shop
• The books/magazines that they read

Anything that disagrees or denies that Jesus is Lord and denies that there is a God in Heaven is operating under a spirit of antichrist.

It is your responsibility to monitor everything your children do. You are not their friend, you are their parents. The spirit of antichrist leads to early death.

For those who do not have children, examine your own life. Start to keep track of how many things you are involved with that oppose God's will. Then start to make changes by lining your life up with the words in the bible.

God Bless You in Your Efforts.

Spiritual Stronghold - 8 Deaf and Dumb Spirit

Spiritual Stronghold 8-Deaf and Dumb

Issues: Seizures, Deaf, Mute,

Mark 9:17-25 (NIV)

A man in the crowd answered, "Teacher, I brought you my son, who is possessed by a spirit that has robbed him of speech. 18Whenever it seizes him, it throws him to the ground. He foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to drive out the spirit, but they could not."

19"O unbelieving generation," Jesus replied, "how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy to me."

20So they brought him. When the spirit saw Jesus, it immediately threw the boy into a convulsion. He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth.

21Jesus asked the boy's father, "How long has he been like this?"

"From childhood," he answered. 22"It has often thrown him into fire or water to kill him. But if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us."

23" 'If you can'?" said Jesus. "Everything is possible for him who believes."

24Immediately the boy's father exclaimed, "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!"

25When Jesus saw that a crowd was running to the scene, he rebuked the evil spirit. "You deaf and mute spirit," he said, "I command you, come out of him and never enter him again."

Jesus' answer to Deaf and Dumb Spirit

Matthew 17:17-20 (NIV)

17"O unbelieving and perverse generation," Jesus replied, "how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy here to me." 18Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed from that moment.

19Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, "Why couldn't we drive it out?"

20He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."

Spiritual Stronghold 7 - Infirmity

Spiritual Stronghold 7- Infirmity

Characteristic:

All sickness and disease.

Luke 13:11

Supporting Scriptures

Deuteronomy 7:15

The LORD will keep you free from every disease. He will not inflict on you the horrible diseases you knew in Egypt, but he will inflict them on all who hate you.

Acts 19:11-12 (Amplified Bible)

11And God did unusual and extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul,
12So that handkerchiefs or towels or aprons which had touched his skin were carried away and put upon the sick, and their diseases left them and the evil spirits came out of them.

Instructions from the bible:

James 5:14-15

Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:

15And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

No where in the bible does it say that Jesus is going to come back to earth and heal the sick. God sent us Jesus to bear our sickness and disease. Jesus left us the Holy Spirit so that we can continue the His work. You have all authority over sickness and disease. Exercise it by praying for yourself, friends, family, and those you don't know. People will thank you when the miracle happens from your prayer. God's word and love is eternal.

Psalm 25 (NIV)
Of David.
1 To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul;
2 in you I trust, O my God. Do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me.
3 No one whose hope is in you will ever be put to shame, but they will be put to shame who are treacherous without excuse.
4 Show me your ways, O LORD, teach me your paths;
5 guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.
6 Remember, O LORD, your great mercy and love, for they are from of old.
7 Remember not the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember me, for you are good, O LORD.
8 Good and upright is the LORD; therefore he instructs sinners in his ways.
9 He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way.
10 All the ways of the LORD are loving and faithful for those who keep the demands of his covenant.
11 For the sake of your name, O LORD, forgive my iniquity, though it is great.
12 Who, then, is the man that fears the LORD ? He will instruct him in the way chosen for him.
13 He will spend his days in prosperity, and his descendants will inherit the land.
14 The LORD confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them.
15 My eyes are ever on the LORD, for only he will release my feet from the snare.
16 Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted.
17 The troubles of my heart have multiplied; free me from my anguish.
18 Look upon my affliction and my distress and take away all my sins.
19 See how my enemies have increased and how fiercely they hate me!
20 Guard my life and rescue me; let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in you.
21 May integrity and uprightness protect me, because my hope is in you.
22 Redeem Israel, O God, from all their troubles!

I pray that angels of the Most High God encamp around me to protect me from any future satanic attacks. I thank you Lord that I will now live a victorious life and everything that I do I will prosper. I am grateful for your mercy and I expect to remain free from all spirits of heaviness. Amen.
