hello everyone Jennifer LeClaire here with you senior leader at The Awakening
House of Prayer founder of the ignite network we're going to get into it today
we're no-holds-barred holding nothing back we're not going to mince words
we're not going to sugarcoat this thing we all know that we have family members
who are demonized we all know that we have friends cousins aunties uncles
third cousins twice removed that married your second cousin Bubba I don't know
who they are but we all know that at this time of the
year when we have to gather together whether it was a whether it's Christmas
or Thanksgiving or New Year's parties or Easter or how about this a family
reunion whatever it is what we find it is there's always demonized people who's
always drunk uncle's who say the wrong thing don't want to touch in ways you
don't want to be touched to kiss you on the cheek with that bad state nasty
breath demonized alcoholics we've got the pothead you know cousins over here
at the back just smoking up token up we got come on now let me just get where
let me just drop a truth bomb we've got Jezebel mother-in-law's or did I say
that they have father laws we've got jessebella cousins we've got Absalom
Absalom we got all these people flowing at all these demons demon oppressed
demonized God hope denied people possessed they act like they're demon
possessed I want to deal with this thing let's just get real how do you because I
don't want you to dread your holiday I don't want you to dread your family
reading I don't want you to go gives you no dread is a cousin of fear did you
know that dread is a cousin of fear I know all about it
there's people my family dear God help me Jesus I'd rather not be around them
at all ever I'd rather send them a postcard from my vacation in France
somewhere praise God what doesn't work that way you cannot just shut out the
world jesus said that we're in the world and not of the world we're in the world
but not of the world now sell your Christian family members
they can be demonized too just because they're Christians doesn't mean that
they can't be a suspect or subject that's a giving over to the wiles of the
wicked one to allow the devil to work through their mouth to work through
their mind to work through their ears to to start strife and discord you know
what nobody is above being influenced by the demon by the devil so what do we do
what do we do what are we gonna do with this thing what are we going to do just
not go to family functions well you know that'd be the easiest thing to do but
you can't influence something you're not willing to confront you cannot bring the
kingdom release the kingdom to something that you are not willing to confront and
so we must be able to confront these things to speak the truth in love to
speak the truth in love I just lost my video connection here
bear with me to speak the truth in love we must be willing we must be willing we
must be willing there is an appropriate time there's a right time to do these
things my camera's going nuts you know what my camera does not want this truth
to go out my camera is behaving in a demonize matter we're going for it
number one what do you do what do you do and so when your family is demonized
when they're causing trouble stirring strife they always want to pick on you
provoke you they always want to say nasty snide remarks to you undercutting
sort of subtle digs edge what do you do what do you do when they want to bring
up the past over and over and over and over now every time you see them they're
bringing up that stuff and when you're a teenager
that you just wish you could forget or that grudge they hold against you they
they just don't want to let go what do you do number one number one you go in
pray it up go into the thing prayed up go into the
having prayed and prayed hard pray for yourself pray for the grace of God to
fall upon you pray for the ability to respond in a christ-like manner pray for
discerning of spirits begin to by the spirit the Lord shows you is manifesting
or it's going to manifest through these people you know what's dealing you know
what you're you know what you're demonized relatives are dealing with you
know this one always gets angry you know this one always suffers rejection you
can't if you know if you don't respond to their every whim will send they're
all cast in sulk and pout in the corner you know that this one over here has a
drinking problem I did not go on he's he's deceased now and and he would I had
to pick him up one time he's like take me to the liquor store before we go to
your parents I was like I don't want to take me to liquor store and he was angry
if I were not taking it so I took every liquor store and he just drops a skunk
in a bunk but you know what it kept the peace and this is before I was saved
right now I would have taken him I didn't want to take him even then well
we've all got family members who are just troublemakers go prayed up also
listen pray for them pray for them pray for them pray for their Bible just pray
for those who who use you abuse you spiteful heed it maliciously accuse you
pray for them pray for them so that you can have a heart for God toward them
kiss here's the thing guys the Lord loves these people the Lord loves even
those who were demonized the Lord loves those who were drunk as a skunk in a
bunk the Lord loves the glow suit who provoked the Lord loves everybody
created us all he loves everybody you need to develop a heart of love for that
one so that you will be able to respond and love to that one
I'm never still number one go in prayed up go in prayed up pray for yourself
pray for them buying the spirits take authority over go in with an awareness
of God that God is with you ask the Lord for that awareness of him number two
separate the personality from the principality separate the personality
from the principality now I'm not saying they have a principality one of them
that the principle is is that you have to separate the who from the dude you
have to separate the from the demonic influence that's upon
them that way you could love the person and hate the devil you know the Bible
says it were to love what God loves and to hate what God hates now love is my
theme throughout this thing she just might as well get used to that love is
the ultimate answer but we understand that the Lord loves the person he hates
the sin he loves that person he does not love that spiteful behavior that
stubborn behavior that provoking behavior whatever but here's the thing
the enemy will influence our flesh and our mind
influences our mind influence our flesh it's a trickle-down theory he's whispers
things to our minds to influence our flesh listen you cannot effectively
combat the devil you cannot effectively deal with demonized relatives if you're
acting like the devil if you want to get down there on the demonic level and they
start jabbing you with these little pokes hey you remember you could never
get a girlfriend in high school you remember remember how you know how many
times you've been in all these comments they want to make you cannot defeat that
demon as long as you are getting on that level you don't want to respond in kind
you don't want to give a quick jab back you don't want to give an underlying a
subtle remark you don't want to provoke back don't do it move in the opposite
spirit I've given you more than seven ways move in the opposite spirit always
move in the opposite spirit it's spiritual judo separate the person from
the demon realize if that person is oppressed depressed regressed hopefully
they're not possessed praise God if you're a Christian you
cannot be possessed by a devil but you can be oppressed you can be influenced
if you're dealing with lost people people that your family that are lost
well they know even less there they've been they've been blinded their minds
have been blinded by Satan you acting like them is not going to be a good
witness we want to keep our witness in times like this don't play into the
devil's hands don't play into the devil's hands number three be slow to
speak be slow to speak be slow to speak be slow to speak you got it
forwards be slow to speak Jenkins 1 in 19 the Bible says you must all be quick
to listen slow to speak and slow to anger even if you're not so slow to
anger if you're slow to speak it'll help you because you want express your anger
in such a tumultuous way be slow to speak when people come and juicy and
double-stuff acting dumb ways just bite your tongue if you got to get a few
stitches at the hospital later is better than open the door to the devil in your
life cuz once the devil sees will provokes you he's going to keep doing it
once the devil finds that button to push and if it's one of your family members
you probably they probably already know which buttons to push
praise got special to someone in your immediate family they know what buttons
to push into what sequence to push them I'll start with this button then I'll
press this one it's like a combination lock they know which buttons in which
order to push to get you to boil over too few to sputter to spout and to freak
out we're not going to do that we're going to be slow to speak go in the
other wall if you have to excuse yourself if you need to so I'm kind of
make a phone call then you're at a family event you want to make a phone
call yes I'd like to make a phone call to Jesus hallelujah because I need some
grace to deal with you oh gosh day number eight number four
number eight is probably number eight up giving you more than four number four a
soft answer turns away wrath that's proverbs 15 and 1 a soft answer turns
away wrath when someone does their best shot to provoke you you know this works
for office Christmas parties and office holiday parties in office retreats as
well when someone tries to provoke you don't allow yourself develop see and the
Bible just said don't allow yourself to be agitated don't allow yourself to be
anxious it's the same thing we have week well heinous makes me mad no he's saying
things they give you the opportunity to be that way just defense
yes he's offensive but you don't have to be offensive you don't have to choose to
be offended you don't have to allow yourself to be provoked no one can
listen no one can make you feel any which way you are in charge of how you
feel nobody can make you why you made me feel
bad no you allow the devil to twist my words to make you feel bad well you just
you just made me feel bad myself no I didn't make you feel bad about yourself
you already feel bad about yourself so therefore you're filtering my comments
through your own broken fractured soul and through the
lens of rejection nobody is responsible for your motions but you you have the
you have self-control that's one of the fruits of the spirit did you know that
Galatians 6 we started lately adulation is 5 1 of the fruits of the Spirit is
self-control meekness patience kindness long so come on numbers number number 5
and here's the big one especially if you're dealing with Jezebel especially
if you're dealing with Jessica don't value the manipulation yet we all have
family members that want to manipulate us they want to manipulate us they want
to pull our strings sometimes they do it through flattery sometimes they do it
through a guilt if somebody that's operating in rejection what they do is
you know if you confront them on something they'll sit in the corner and
pout or they'll fly off the handle get angry and this is a way to manipulate
use of the tool confront something there's there's a time to confront
something the Tollison the time is not when you're sitting down to Thanksgiving
dinner the time is not when you're sitting down to open Christmas presents
the time is not when the clock is about to strike 12 and you're about to say
Happy New Year the time is not when at the family reunion and they're about to
you know to make all the great testimonies that that is not the time
but there is a time to confront a thing when it's the time when the Holy Ghost
tells you to but don't bow to the manipulation you
don't have to bow to something you cannot listen bow the Holy Spirit some
other spirit at the same time can't do it what if what is my mom is she's
making me she wants me to come home for and help her well if you can go help or
you should go your mother but if you're already
obligated and it to help somebody else too if you've already visiting somebody
in the hospital if you've already got a a turkey in the oven or whatever you're
doing cooking you got a bunch of things on the stove you have to tell your mom
look mom I got stuff on the stove I'll be there when I can but now but don't
don't let people guilt and shame you don't let people manipulate you be
honorable but don't bow to the pressure don't about when someone wants to put
ungodly pressure on you look if somebody says yeah we'd like you to go to Disney
you shit-hot top and they said I don't want to go well you know you can ask
them once you once or twice what when they say no let it be don't be like oh
but you know it's not gonna be the same without you there and I just don't you
know we're just not gonna go if you know don't do all that stuff but don't let
people do it to you either amen number six walk in love what the world
needs is a fiery red-hot love walk see Jesus died on the cross for sinners he
was all across when you know the thief on one side of him he was mocking him
and the sinner on the other side received him Jesus died for sinners
you've not yet resisted he per said you have not yet resisted to the point of
shedding blood you've not yet resisted your demonized relatives to the point of
resisting blood just show love let your light shine be a living epistle just
kill him what kind smile mom taught me that kill them with kindness there's a
story my mom told me during Thanksgiving or my dad so my mom told me during
Thanksgiving time and there was this woman and she just really really really
could not stand her mother at all from Allah was bossy her mother-in-law was
was was over burying her mother-in-law was manipulative and controlling her
mother law was just like the stereotypical horrible mother-in-law and
she went to this there in China she would you this for a bliss and she said
listen I want to kill my mother-in-law she's a wickedness
which and I want you to give me some kind of poison because i'ma kill her and
and and the medicine man said okay I'm gonna give you this but you've got to
give it to her just a little bit by a little bit by a little bit by a little
bit by a little bit just give a little the time that way will be traceable no
one will ever know how it happened if you give her too much at once you got to
give it to her you know over the next like three months three or four months
and he come back if it hasn't worked I'll give you some more and so she did
that he said in the meantime I want you to as part of this so that no one
suspects anything no one will ever suspect it was you and
when it ever was suspect but you had anything to do with her die for her
death because you know right now everyone knows you hate her and you know
they'd be the first one if they expected any foul play they knew you'd be the one
they looked at so I want you to just be as nice as you can serve her everything
she tells you to do just do it just bite your tongue to do it because it's only
gonna be a few months he'll be rid of her you won't feel this way anymore
after a few months that this this this behavior will be gone she goes okay
you're sure it's gonna work this is gonna poison her he's gonna just do I
say so she gave her that you know and her team just seized special herbs every
day for months and she also was kind she honored her she walked in humility and
it was about the two and a half month mark and she went back to the Chinese
medicine man she says you got to do something you got to give me something
that's gonna restore her life I don't want my mother bought it to die anymore
I love her she she's the one most wonderful woman in the world and she's
so awesome and I love her I don't wanted it up it he said I never gave you
anything that was poison what I did was I gave you a recipe for honor and love
and in you're honoring her and loving her and and serving her you have grown
and and praying for her that was one of the parts you've grown to love her
and she is going to love you see so many times with our family members we just
have to to really show the love of Christ just really really within
everybody really but you know who better to start with it with your family right
if you can't love your family who's your own flesh and blood how you love the
world amen and there's one more
decontaminates yourself if you blow it if you act it out repent ask the Lord to
forgive you if you blew it you lot yell I just have to be provoked
you acted like an idiot repent also bind retaliation bind word
curses decontaminate yourself from being in the presence of you know all these
spirits that try to what they were provoking you attacking you manipulating
you trying to control you just decontaminate yourself I'm going to show
