-So I got delivered, what do I do next?
How do I maintain my deliverance?
How do I keep demons out of my life
and walk in my destiny?
Before we answer these questions
I want to welcome you to my channel
and as always, don't forget to subscribe
if it's your first time
and click on the bell so you can be reminded
each time that we go live
and then thank you for being here.
When it comes to deliverance,
we must understand is that demons can come back.
Jesus even told one person who He healed, He says,
"Hey don't sin otherwise worse things can happen to you."
We see the story in the Bible
of demons after they're leaving a person
then they're coming back with seven more demons.
But I don't want to scare you or throw you into this fear
that you should expect or just constantly be warned,
make sure demons don't come back.
Nevertheless, you should be aware of the reality
that demons can come back if we are not careful
and if we're not doing the following things
that I want to share with you in this video.
The verse I want to share with you is Jude 1:20-22.
It says:
And then he says on some you know rescue them
as though you're saving them from fire.
I want to share with you four main F's
that you need to remember to keep the demons
out from your life.
And then I'm gonna share with you practical things
that you must do to walk in victory after your deliverance.
Number one is you have to put up a fight.
That means that when you get delivered,
it does not mean that you will no longer have battles.
It just means deliverance sets you free from bondage
not from battles.
Sometimes the enemy will come back the same way that
Egyptians came back after Israel
when they were delivered from the Egyptians.
And some time later they came back with an army
and they wanted to put them back into slavery.
And so, Israel had to march forward and not be afraid.
And as they went forward through the Red Sea,
God drowned the Egyptians.
And there was this sweet promise that God gave them.
And He says this, "The Egyptians you see today
you will see no more again, forever."
Pretty much, you're not going to have that problem any more.
As the Bible tells us in John 8,
"Whom the Son sets free is free indeed."
I feel like God wants us after deliverance
to kind of put an exclamation mark on our deliverance
by making it permanent,
by taking us into a place of victory.
But for that to happen, when you have some thoughts coming back
some feelings coming back, even if it feels like
"Oh, I get exactly the same attacks."
Put up a fight. Do not let that in.
Do not play a victim.
Do not just go back to Egypt and say,
"Hey, we need to start the deliverance again."
What if you just need to resist the devil
and he will flee from you? So, put up a fight.
Number two is you have to get fit.
Get fit, meaning you have to establish yourself in the Lord.
As I've read in Jude, it says that:
The same way as physically you get fit, you work out,
you run, you eat healthy; the same way spiritually
after you put up a fight,
you have to get busy building up your life.
If you're only battling, battling, battling, battling
but you're not building and building and building
then you're not going to walk in the destiny God has for you.
You will constantly go from deliverance to deliverance,
instead of going from deliverance to dominion.
And so, I want to challenge you as you're battling
that you're also building.
The same way as the people who were building
rebuilding the wall during the days of Nehemiah,
they had to have a tool in one hand and a sword in another one.
So, build yourself up.
Develop a discipline in your life.
Begin to carve quality time to spend time in prayer with God.
Begin to read the Word.
Begin to read other Christian books
that can build your most holy faith.
Begin to watch videos as these.
Subscribe to channels as these.
When you go and work out or you're on the train
or you're taking some time cleaning your house,
or cleaning your yard, put on earphones and listen to
some kind of a strong good teaching and preaching
that can build yourself spiritually.
Get fit spiritually.
So many people do not walk in their victory
after they experienced deliverance is because they're lazy;
is because they do not want to do anything
to build themselves up in their most holy faith.
They don't want to go to church.
They don't want to read the Bible
and they just need another deliverance session
another deliverance personal encounter
instead of they need to be developing prayer life,
the Word life, after they get delivered
otherwise worse things can happen.
Number three is you have to stay filled.
Getting fit deals more with discipline,
getting filled deals with devotion.
This deals with allowing the presence of God
to saturate your life.
It's good to have discipline in your life
but you'll also have to have devotion.
You have to experience delight in the presence of God.
You have to almost like mature
that your sense of duty to be in prayer
turns into a sense of joy.
If you don't enjoy praying,
you're not going to be praying consistently.
If you don't enjoy reading the Bible,
you're not going be reading the Bible continuously.
And so learn to stay filled.
As you grow in Christ you will continue to change.
Sometimes people focus so much on their behavior,
so much on changing certain actions,
"I need to stop doing this I need to stop doing that,"
and that has its place.
But the greatest way to see change in your behavior
is to focus on being filled with Holy Spirit.
In fact, the Bible tells us to abide in Him
and we will bear fruit.
We see that the fruit of the Spirit is you know,
is character change. So the fruit of the Spirit
meaning as the Spirit fills me more and more,
I'm becoming transformed.
My beautiful example for that is Zaccheaus.
You know, Zaccheaus was a tax collector.
He ripped people off.
He made money out of people's suffering, really.
He meets Jesus on a tree; beautiful example of the cross
you know, because he couldn't see Jesus because he was so short
so he had to climb on the tree.
It's kind of like us, we fell short of the glory of God
and we have to rely on the cross, on the tree.
And Jesus said, "I want to go to your house."
So Zaccheaus didn't say, "Oh, no Jesus I'm not worthy.
"I'm not good enough. Like, I might still have booze
I might even have evil people in my house."
He welcomed Jesus gladly.
And when Jesus came into his house, He filled his house.
Zaccheaus changed instantly, like just supernatural.
Jesus did not rebuke him for his financial misdealing.
Jesus simply came into his house.
I really believe there is a key in there.
The secret to seeing your life transformed
and maintaining spiritual freedom is to put up a fight,
is to get fit, develop some disciplines and stay filled.
Fill your life with the presence of Jesus.
Remember what I read in Jude?
It says that keep yourselves up in the love of God.
Oh, so beautiful.
So instead of keeping yourselves up in your love for God,
keep yourself up in the love that God has for you.
Don't focus on your love for God, focus on His love for you.
So stay filled with His love.
Stay filled with His presence.
Man, I feel that presence right now
even as I'm speaking to you about this.
Stay filled in His peace. Stay filled with that.
One of my practices is when I make coffee at home
I don't like to put a lid on it and I keep the cup full
which is problematic because anytime I walk
it's so easy to spill it.
I become extremely cautious of the pace of my walk
because my cup is full.
And this reminds me that when I'm full I become cautious.
When I am full, I become more disciplined, more focused.
When I am full of the Holy Spirit
I become more sensitive to His voice.
I'm not easily persuaded by the temptations of this world
because I'm full of Him.
So as you stay full you will stay free. Come on somebody!
As you stay filled you will stay free.
And the last thing I want to share with you is
you need to find a family.
The first thing is that you need to put up a fight,
you to get fit, you need to stay filled
and you need to find a family; spiritual family, I mean.
A family is very important because this is where
discipleship happens.
This is where you begin to grow.
In the community of believers, you get protected.
This is where twofold cord is not easily broken.
You're not alone. You're not just an island.
You're not just a Superman, this spider-man, this one-man show.
You rely on other believers. You become a member in the body.
So many Christians unfortunately they are organs in the bank
instead of organs in the body.
And therefore they get defeated.
The devil takes them out quickly and faster
than any other believer when they are not in the body.
God wants you to be not a super soldier,
He wants you to be a soldier in His army.
Do you have an army that you have an army that you belong into?
If you take a plant and pull it out from the pot,
it will die.
A Christian without church, a Christian without the body
is just you're never meant to be without the body.
You're like a snowflake.
I know I usually people who-- this on the idea that
Christians are snowflakes. But snowflakes are weak, fragile
but bring them together, they can stop traffic
even flip big cars on a highway, shut down schools.
So when we're together, we're stronger.
When we're together we can beat the devil.
Maybe you don't have a local church,
I want to invite you to ours.
Find a local church near you.
Find a church the believes the gospel, that preaches Jesus.
Find a church that welcomes the power of the Holy Spirit
and is not afraid to talk about topics that are relevant today
and that are in the Bible.
And maybe where you live you don't have a church,
hey, we have a church online.
I know it's not ideal but it will help you.
Where we meet every week on small groups.
You can become even a member, you can start serving.
And so, take advantage of that
and the links are below for that.
Put up a fight, get fit, stay filled,
and find your Christian strong spiritual family.
Now let's look at few practical things.
This comes from a booklet that we give out to people
who get delivered in our church to take home with them.
I will also insert the link below the video
where you can see that in the blog format
and download the same PDF file we give to our people
who get delivered.
Number one, when you go home after deliverance
confess the general areas in which you have received freedom
positively and gratefully in prayer.
Don't allow one negative thought to germinate
and to take space in your mind.
Number two, meet each new day trusting in God's power
to help you make right choices.
Don't let your feelings deceive you.
Number three, expect continuous and increasing freedom
where Satan has previously bound you
or used you for his purposes.
So move forward by faith without even a glance
over your shoulder at what now is the past.
Number four, remember, anything the devil whispers in your ear
is a lie. That's his profession and he's very good at it.
In John 8:44, it says:
If he tries to convince you that your freedom
did not really happen but was just in your mind
or was emotional, use your faith shield against him
and tell him that he is a liar and that God is on your side
and he will soon give up and go away.
Number five, don't hesitate to use the name of Jesus
the blood of the Lamb and the confession of faith
against all of Satan's temptations and condemnations.
All condemnation comes from Satan. Don't believe him.
You have been cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ
and you're protected by the blood of Jesus.
Number six, avoid deliberate sin like a plague.
If you fell maybe into a previous sin
that you've been delivered for, confess it immediately.
Receive forgiveness and cleansing.
This will stop Satan from bringing you down with guilt
which is one of his favorite favorite weapons.
Number seven, rely upon the Holy Spirit to control your life,
your emotions, your desires and your imaginations.
Together with your will by deliberately giving
the Lord Jesus His lordship over your life each and every day.
And so, rely on the Holy Spirit
and then allow Him to lord over your life, over your thoughts
over your desires, your emotions;
and even bring your will in subjection to His.
Number eight, take time to read and learn and meditate
on God's word every single day.
If time is limited, you can make verses on the touch cards
and carry it with you.
Or you can listen to an audio-book, an audio Bible
or you can open a Bible app and on your free time
between appointments, between meetings,
on your fifteen-minute break,
and just read the Word.
Number nine, wear the armor of God every single day.
Put on each piece of God's armor prayerfully,
and be protected at all times.
As you confess that armor and as you thank God for that armor
that you are putting it on and you walk consciously
of who you are in Jesus Christ.
Number ten, keep your eyes and ears open
for all the sneaky traps that the devil will leave around you.
And if you get lost or things get hard,
just ask God for help immediately. Cry out to Him.
You can silently under your breath say, "Lord, help me.
'Holy Spirit, give me strength. Get me through this day.
"Get me though this situation. Get me through this meeting.
"Get me through this place. I'm urgently asking You for help.
And God will help you.
Number eleven, concentrate your thoughts and plans
on what glorifies Jesus Christ
and you will have victories all the time.
Number twelve, beware of thinking that you can make it alone.
You will never make it alone in life because God never intended
that you should.
Be smart and admit you can't do it alone
and then involve other people in helping to walk with you
in your journey of victory.
Number thirteen, Break wrong friendships
and choose positive clean living friends who put Jesus first
Number thirteen is that break away bad habits.
Avoid magazines, television shows, movies
and things that are going to trigger temptations
and bring you back to what you've been delivered from.
And lastly, be praising God, be a thankful person
always give thanks to God for His continuous goodness.
Now these instructions the one that I shared
and little bit more of them that I did not mention are on my blog.
They were taken from Doris Wagner
on "How to cast out demons".
And they are also on my blog
where you can download them as a PDF file for you
or distribute them.
Freely you receive, freely you can give.
And so, I want to encourage you, if you've been delivered
if you recently went through deliverance,
to take heed to these instructions.
Put up a fight, learn to use your spiritual weapons,
also get fit, develop disciplines in your life
also stay filled by living aware,
keeping yourself in the love of God,
and as well as get into a spiritual family
where you can grow in your freedom;
and your freedom will be complete,
and you will be delivered indeed.
