How to release the chains

According to the hurts and trauma training on http://gatewaypeople.com/ministries/freedom-kairos/media1,these are the open doors to the demonic:

1. unforgiveness,


2. willful sin,


3. fear,


4. hurt and trauma,


5. occoult activity,


6. innervows and spoken curse,


7. generational iniquity.

What would it look like, if we systematically sought healing in each of previous areas. We would be removing the enemy from our life, one piece at a time. As long as he is in our soul, we believe the lies he presents.... and respond accordingly.

But we are no longer chained to any of the afore mentioned items. With the help of the Holy Spirit, we can be healed from each of these things. Take some time to have a dialog with G-d and ask Him to point out which items of your life He wants to help you remove from you life. In doing so, you will find these doors to the demonic closed... one at a time.In doing this, you will find freedom.

Why am I not healed

Cindy, (concerning why G-d has not healed you,) this is not a question that can be answered by me or any other man, woman, or child, save Jesus Christ, or The Holy Spirit. But this is how I personally feel about the subject.


It is G-d's nature to make whole that which is not. To return us back, or redeem us back, to or original design. Diabetes is not our original design. Nor is MS, or Alzheimer's, or any other disease, part of our design. So that begs the question, "Why are we not healed?"

Looking in scripture we are shown several reasons for this. In the old and new testament, there are examples of healing for the purpose of glorifying G-d. See Job and the man in the first part of John 9.

Healing can come by the faith of others, like the lame man who was lowered down after friends tore off a roof. Another example is the centurion who said Jesus did not even need to come to his home. There were times in passing, like the woman who had an issue of blood for years and years, or the beggar at the city gates whom Peter and John healed. And there is personal faith, such as when Jesus said, "Your faith has made you whole."

There are times when Jesus would say things like, "Your sins are forgiven you." One time Jesus said that He said this for that instance to show that the Son of Man has the power to forgive. But the other times he spoke about their sins being forgiven. Perhaps, this is when people have made a certain iniquity their friend (iniquity defined as: that bent we have toward a certain sin). We all do it. I have mine to which I have clung in the past, and some, I am sure, to which I am still clinging.

Many times, these iniquities have a tendency to plug our ears. We do not hear things from G-d because our focus is not on G-d. Our focus is on protecting that iniquity. We feel safer there. Of course, this is a lie. We even know it's a lie (our spirits). But our hearts are deceptive.

Many times people point to Paul and the thorn in his side. They say that suffering is to chastise us or to keep us humble. This may be. It may be, though, that our insistence on keeping certain attitudes in our life are the very things that have caused the disease, and that if the disease were to be healed, unless the heart issue was resolved, it would return the next day. A good example is anger, which produces many chemicals in our body which, under prolonged exposure, will harm our bodies. This does not even address the spiritual realm.

Is there a chance Our physical actions are seen in the spiritual realm and the laws in the spiritual universe take affect, causing either benefit or harm in our physical existence? Don't let this statement twist your thinking too much. All I am saying is that what we do physically, may also happen spiritually, causing spiritual rules to happen on their own, much like gravity takes over when we drop something. But then these spiritual laws tend to affect out physical lives.

We were made to be ruled by our spirit, so I do not think this is too far-fetched. (see 1 Corinthians 11:17-34)
I have physical ailments myself. I think many of them are due to the last reason. My actions and attitudes and, yes, unforgiveness.

Freedom

Freedom

They say freedom is not free. And it really isn't. It is, freely given.
Here is what it will cost you.
Belief in the lies
Hurt
Despair
your relationship with the devil
your carefully built fortresses in your heart (Christ will protect you)
your control of the drivers seat in your heart.

Here is what you get

Love for G-d and Love for people
Joy and contentment in the Lord
Peace that passes all understanding
A patient soul, content in where you are and what you have
A kind heart
Goodness
Faithful to G-d and His purposes
A gentle spirit
Control over self that you never have experienced before

You will be truly free to do what you were made to do. And because you were built to do such, you will find true Joy

The Accuser of the Brethren

Constantly, we are confronted with choices on how to handle the actions other people make. When someone interacts with us, or even when they do not, we make a choice as to whether we will allow ourselves to divert our mind, will, and emotions to that act. This diversion could be in a positive direction. Or it could be in a negative direction. Which direction we proceed is largely dependent on how we perceive the event.

When someone speaks to me, my natural inclination is to ask myself, “Why did he say that?” I say natural because we normally do not do this consciously. Subconsciously, we decide whether the other person was benevolent in his speak, or mean hearted, or loving, etc.... What we do not realize is that when we do this, we are ascertaining and weighing the motives of their heart. In effect, we are judging. Our reactions to the events are reactions because we have judged the other and found them to be wanting or found them to be acceptable, or in need of reward.

This is quite a revelation, but, there is more. Satan is the accuser of the brethren, (Revelation 12:10.) And since he is the general of all the demons, they all do this. Remember where our fight is, Ephesians 6:12.) But few realize that his accusations are not just to G-d about us. They are to us about someone else. So when we are making this judgement, guess who is whispering all sorts of possible reasons for the other persons act? When we are relating with someone else, too often, the enemy is whispering in our ears about why they may have done what they did. And I can assure you, that these accusations are typically lies, (John 8:44.)

Now that we know this, we need to put on the full armor of G-d, (Ephesians 6:13-20.) We become filled with the Spirit , (Ephesians 5:18,) and listen for His voice constantly. This requires stillness, (Psalm 46:10,) and contentment, (Philipians 4:11.) The Holy Spirit will reveal to us when to react, (Matthew 10:19.) He will give us the strength, (Philipians 4:13,) to deal with the words of the enemy AND the actions of our brothers. He will transform us into the image of Christ, (Romans 12:22,) and eventually, we will do Greater things than the miracles that Jesus did while he was on the earth (John 14:12.)

Revelation 12:10 (NKJV)

10 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down.

Ephesians 6:12 (NKJV)

12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

John 8:44 (NKJV)

44 You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.

Ephesians 6:13-20 (NKJV)

13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints— 19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

Ephesians 5:18 (NKJV)

18 And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit,

Psalm 46:10 (NKJV)

10 Be still, and know that I am God;

I will be exalted among the nations,

I will be exalted in the earth!

Philippians 4:11 (NKJV)

11 Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content:

Matthew 10:19 (NKJV)

19 But when they deliver you up, do not worry about how or what you should speak. For it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak;

Philippians 4:13 (NKJV)

13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Romans 12:2 (NKJV)

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

John 14:12 (NKJV)

12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these

The pain of the Fire

The Pain of the Silversmiths Fire

G-d is Love (1 John 4:16.) This being said, while G-d trains us and chastises us, He only allows as much pain as is necessary to complete the training or discipline He is imparting on us. It is true that G-d does not waste pain and that He will use it to our benefit. I have never realized, however, that He will only allow what is required for our growth and the plan He has for us.

1 John 4:16

16 And we have known and believed the love that G-d has for us. G-d is love, and he who abides in love abides in G-d, and G-d in him.

Hebrews 12:6

6 For whom the L-RD loves He chastens,
And scourges every son whom He receives.”

Line in the Sand

You, God, are the one true God.

You reign over the universe, in justice, and mercy, in wisdom, and in Love.

You bring life from death. Those that bring death from life, You change them from within, or use them for the good of those that follow your ways.

I, a simple man, naturally seek my own. I seek my own pleasure, and seek what I think is best for me. I naturally seek to build myself up at the expense of all others.

You, alone, know what is good for me. I presume to know, but ultimately fail because this method does not show faith, or hope, or love. Your ways show faith. Your ways show hope. Your ways show love.

Therefore, I draw a line in the sand. Not in front of, but behind me. If I place this line in front of me, then I separate myself from you. I will serve you, oh God.

In my walk toward you, I will strive to stay in front of that line. If I fall behind, with your help, I will pull myself in front of that line again. When I consistently stand in front of that line, I will step forward in faith. Immediately, I will turn around, and draw a new line.

This I will do all the days of my life until I am able to join you in Heaven.
