The Deliverance Series : Part 2- Can a Christian Have a Demon? | Pastor Richard Lorenzo Jr.

Let's talk about that. How many people are still struggling with that right now? Be honest. Whether or not a Christian could have a demon, it's okay, be honest. Anybody still struggling with that? Okay, one, it's okay, be honest. Okay, that's pretty good. I mean, Moses, raise your hand. Oh, he just gets you some. Anybody else, okay. I want us to be vulnerable, it's okay. Doesn't mean that you're less of a Christian. If you're just being honest, like I'm still struggling with that. It's not like you're set on a belief. You just are still struggling with that. Let's talk about it. This is gonna help you out. So number one, part one of teaching number two, can a Christian have a demon? So, the Greek never says demon possessed, it says demonized. And the difference between demon possessed and demonized will set you free. Matthew chapter eight, verse 16, if you wanna pull it up. Matthew chapter eight, verse 16, S.O.R., how are y'all doing on that chat? Put up your digital hands, whoever's controlling S.O.R.,

there's someone in the waiting room. What is up, Carissa, Charles, Pratt, Carlos, Jennifer? What's up, family? Y'all listening? Which a thumbs up if you're listening, so I guess we can see you. Amen, all right, let's get into this. Matthew eight, 16. When evening had come, they brought to him many who were demon possessed and he cast out the spirits with a word and healed all who were sick. So here is where the whole argument usually goes wrong. English Bibles say demon possessed and possessed means owned. So people will reason. A Christian belongs to Jesus. Therefore, a Christian can't have a demon. And the bound believer is left to suffer in silence. But possessed is a translator's choice, not a Greek word. The Greek is one verb. Damanosia, and it means to be demonized, to be under the influence, pressure, or partial control of a demon. Ownership isn't in that word at all. So nobody who is born again is owned by a demon. You were bought with a price, sealed by the spirit, and hell holds no title deed on you. But can a blood bought believer be demonized, harassed, oppressed, driven in an area of your mind or body

where the enemy was given ground? Ask any honest pastor who has sat with the tormented saint. The rage that isn't them. The compulsion they fasted about for over a decade. The question is not, does the devil own you? The question is, does he have ground in you? And ground can be taken back. So again, that word in the Greek means to be demonized. Under a demon's influence or torment. And the New Testament also says econ, Damania, which means having a demon. But never uses a word owned by one. There's no Greek word in the New Testament that speaks of ownership. Possession is about title. Demonization is about territory. The devil can hold no title on a believer, but he will squat on any territory he's given. So, has the word in the scriptures possessed in the English translation ever kept you or someone you know from getting free? Have you ever read that scripture and thought, "Christian can't be demon-possessed, this isn't possible." Anybody? Go ahead, let's hear it, let's hear it, Neil. - I've told you, I've told you more than once that you know I went to churches for 30 plus years and I came here in the first night. I saw people getting delivered and I got delivered next to the next service

of PTSD and anxiety in marijuana. - Amen. - You know, it just, and it freaked my wife out. My wife is what caused her to stop coming. She's like people were throwing up there and I'm like, you know, it's real. - Yeah. - But every church I went to, I went to Calvary Chapel's, where they taught verse by verse, great. You know, that's where I got my foundation in the word. They don't believe this at all. And it's, you know, it's one of the biggest things the devil's ever done is he gets a church to stop taking care of its own like that. This should be a spiritual hospital. That's where I call this place. This place is a spiritual hospital. Okay, where people get delivered and they get healed. I've never been in church like that. Thought it was fraud whenever I saw it. - Yeah, it's good, man. It's a good testimony, bro. Anybody else? - Yeah. - So there was this creator on TikTok and she would do like funny, biblically. - Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah, yeah. Stand up. - So there was this creator on TikTok who was doing like funny, biblical videos

and she would get like a lot of views. So I followed her 'cause it was actually funny. But then she would like slip in little videos of her talking about how deliverance isn't real and how churches put on shows. And at this moment, I was traveling with a five-fold deliverance ministry and I was seeing people get delivered like every week, right? And also the people that I was living with were being delivered and I was getting deliverance but I was still struggling with things. So I was like a, I was a baby in Christ. I still am, I think. And I was like, is deliverance real? I was questioning it 'cause I was like, why am I still struggling and why are these people that I'm seeing delivered still getting, you know, like struggling with things? And then so I texted that girl and I was like, on TikTok and I was like, hey, I think deliverance is real like, and I was sending her some scripture and I was telling her my experiences and she's like, no, you're just part of a church that's obsessed with demons and wants and is trying to profit off deliverance and all these things. So I just wanted to say that 'cause I struggled with it even while experiencing deliverance, you know? So-- - Because of an attack. - Yeah.

So this teaching is blessing me right now, amen. Thank you. - Amen. - Amen. Yeah, yeah, it's true. I struggled with it after two years of deliverance from somebody that came up to me and then I trusted and said, I don't know if it's real. And I was like, man, I trust this person. It wasn't long, broke out of that real quick, but I remember I prayed and I said, God, I've seen all these demons, I got delivered. My own brother at this point got delivered. And I think it was actually right before he got delivered. And I remember I was like, God, I pray to say, God, if deliverance is really real, which I believe, I think it is, but I'm just struggling, please make something happen. I think it was the next day God brought somebody that we knew a couple to our home where we were living in, friends. And that same day I started praying, started getting delivered to Christian. And then God brought some, the worship team was having a worship back inside our house. Some random person on their way to Temple from Orlando stopped at our house in our driveway. We don't even know them. And they were like, my car is breaking down and we started praying again, delivered.

And I was like, I repent, I repent. But it was an attack. And during that season of a few months, I remember just reaching out to people too. I reached out to people I trust who are just like rich. What are you talking about, bro? Are you tripping? It was an attack of religion. It was a group of people that I trust that were agreeing with it. And boy, did that religious spirit try to hit me, boy. So even me, I dealt with it. That was a crazy, that was like a short season, short lived. After that, I saw the cast on a bunch of demons out. After that I was, whew. Yeah, so I went through that attack too. It's an attack, it's a literal attack. I mean, the devil does that. He doesn't want you to cast out devils. Whew, that was a weird season. Amen, who was with me during that season? Remember that? What did y'all think? So now just, I don't know, just send it out. I remember, 'cause there was a point in time like I got delivered from something and I remember talking to Mia and I was like, "So does that mean that was all made up?" And she was like, "Probably."

I was like, "There's no way." I was so confused, bro. And I would ask them all these questions and it would seem like they would have answers. And I'm like, "But this is not making sense and I just let it go." I was like, "There's no way." Yeah, I remember when that happened. After that, I just thought everybody was just being dramatic and faking. But yeah, we came out out of that. I remember that night we came out of that too. So it was powerful. Yeah, I just, after that I learned I gotta be careful with voices that led close to me. I learned a valuable lesson and that person is no longer even in this ministry. It's crazy. Right after we came out that season, left and I'm like. [BLANK_AUDIO] I don't even know what she said, but. Yeah, we're not talking about people's names, bro. It wasn't the way you think it is. You weren't even in the church anymore. That was a long time ago. Very long, way before you. Like an hour, a year and a half of, two years before you. But yeah, bro, we went to that season of that attack of that religious spirit. Thank God, bro.

Thank God for his grace. And you know what happened, that same person? Right after that, we ended up finding out they were hiding so many different things that they didn't want to release. And for that, Eddie, there was all these things for all those, and I'm like, not him, but the devil. And in the minute he released it, boom, death. And I'm like, so the devil is like, not only trying to get him to stay, keep him in captivity, he was trying to put us all on captivity. I was like, man, I gotta be careful, it gets close to me. I gotta still faithful, amen? - Amen. - Put me through a season. Wow, that was a crazy season. All right, part two, you cannot be a covenant daughter faithful in the house and still bound. And Jesus says you ought to be loosed. I'm gonna say it again. You can be a covenant, I say you cannot, you can be a covenant daughter faithful in the house and still be bound or a covenant son faithful in the house and still bound. And Jesus says he wants you here. You ought to be loosed. So does God want you to be bound? - No. - If you're in covenant with him, he wants you to be freed immediately. He doesn't want you to wait.

Whenever someone says, I'm dealing with the spirit and I've been prayed over it and I prayed over myself, but I can't get delivered, that's when I'll start asking other questions. There's no way a demon can have power over you if you're living a life of holiness, repentance, seeking the Lord, there's no way that a demon, especially when you know the demons there, then everyone's just praying over you, that demon doesn't come out. No, that's when the person is usually being overly dramatic. Does that make sense? Because then those type of people, some I've seen it not all the time, will go chasing, minister to minister, ministry to ministry to ministry to ministry, looking for deliverance, thinking that this person is the one with the anointing or this person's the one, when really they just are deceived. I've seen that side of Christianity too, or they just don't want to repent, where they're supposed to need to forgive and they just don't want to forgive. And they're waiting for someone to cast a demon out when they know the legal right is because of their sin, but they don't want to let go of their sin. A demon has authority over you through iniquity, through sin, through open doors. That's why we have to repent.

That's why we need to forgive. Makes sense? It doesn't happen immediately. Like the minute you sin, demon comes in. It's the working of iniquity. The Bible says, give no place to the devil. You start giving place when you start following his ways. You get closer to him and more intimate with him when you follow his word. But when you realize I've fallen short and you repent, you're good. I forgive, you're good. But it's when you know you should do something and you don't do it and you keep not doing it for an extended period of time, and you have given places to the devil, and most of the time you're oppressed and you need deliverance. I've seen that with people and everything starts shifting in their life and their destiny starts getting shifted. They go from on fire to all of a sudden, not even wanting to come to church, not even wanting to talk to anybody. Next thing you know is they don't want to be a part of the church anymore. And a year down the road, they're back in downtown Orlando, getting drunk. Seven times worse than what they were before they came to the ministry.

'Cause that will happen regardless of what you say or what you think. That's the goal of the enemy. To get you right back to where you were at and seven times worse. And I've seen that happen many times and God does not want that for you. So don't even go through that process and just repent. And just be like, "God, thank you for your freedom. "Thank you for your spirit." And I promise you, the Holy Ghost will set you free. Tonight, if you want freedom, he'll set you free. Who wants freedom? Amen, he'll set you free. I can feel the deliverance atmosphere right now. Starting to get real, like, real electric, like. Gross, you feel it? It's the anointing of the Holy Spirit, man. It's the power of God. You know, literally, the Bible calls the anointing, like in some of the scriptures, Enid Hea and the Greek word Enid Hea, who's read that before? That comes from the word energy. The energy of the Spirit, God's anointing. Does an energy have an electric currency? Earth, just remember God's power is real. Like power into, like, this power is very, very fiery. People would be like, "Why, you use the word electric. "That's demonic, okay." His voice is like thunders.

Shh, people be deceived, bro. Luke 13, 16, "And ought not this woman, "being a daughter of Abraham, who Satan has bound, "think of it, for 18 years, be loosed from this bond "on the Sabbath." So, look carefully at this woman in Luke 13, 16. Because she demolishes the tidy theology, she's in the synagogue on the Sabbath, everyone say Sabbath? She's faithful, Jesus calls her a daughter of Abraham. Abraham was the father of what? So she has faith, a covenant woman inside the family of promise, a true woman of God. And in the same breath, he says, "She is one whom Satan has bound for 18 years." How? Covenant standing and satanic binding in the same person at the same time from the mouth of Jesus. And Luke, the physician in Luke 13, 16, tells us she has a spirit of infirmity. Her bent spine had a spirit underneath it. So not every sickness is a demon, but this one was. And only discernment knows the difference. So now hear the word that should set this whole room on fire. Look, he says, "Aught not this woman be loosed." The Greek carries moral necessity. It is binding, necessary, old. So Jesus looks at a bound covenant daughter and says her freedom is not a maybe, not a special favor.

It is a debt her covenant makes necessary. See, I'm in covenant. So I receive deliverance. So freedom is not just a maybe or God just trying to be nice to you. It's actually your inheritance as a covenant son and daughter. It's coming off rip, no matter what. Nobody can stop it, but your faith. You don't believe you won't receive, you believe you get it all. So when you come to the altar for deliverance, you can't be 20%, 50%, you'll be all the way knowing. I have a covenant with God. Deliverance is my portion. Hallelujah. In Jesus name, I renounce every, whatever, whatever. And before anyone even touches you. Or crying or whatever, or no physical manifestation. You don't have to have a physical manifestation that get delivered, by the way. It could be simple, just peace come upon you like a wind. And you realize that that thing was on your shoulder left. Bro, it's, we don't gotta know the intricacies in the spirit realm. We just know that Jesus Christ is our Abba. He's our shepherds, our great shepherds, our father. He loves us. Jesus is our everlasting father, our Prince of Peace. And he wants us freed, man. He didn't come to keep us bound. He came to set us free.

(mumbling) So deliverance for the believer is an embarrassing exception in the logic of Jesus. It's an obligation of the covenant. So again, the spirit of infirmity, Numa, Alesinus in the Greek is a demonic spirit manifesting as a physical disease. When he says ought in the Greek, that's the verb of divine necessity. Luke uses elsewhere for the cross itself. So it had to happen. So when Luke mentions that the cross had to happen, that word ought to happen, that's the same word he uses for it being divine necessity as a covenant daughter to be freed. So deliverance, healing tied to the cross. Amen? You are loosed means in the Greek released and standing released. So Jesus speaks her freedom as a completed fact before her spine ever even straightens. I'm gonna say that again, that Greek word for loosed. When he says you are loosed, it's in perfect tense. So it means released and standing released. So he said that before her freedom even happened. Before her spine even straightened. You understand where I'm going with this? Take a look at someone who's not healed. You're healed in Jesus name. And then five seconds later they get healed. I said it before it even happened 'cause it's a promise.

and they're getting delivered for the next 10 minutes. You speak what it is because it's the truth, it's covenant, it's inheritance. How many people here right now feel like they need freedom tonight for real? Okay, good, get your freedom. I love deliverance as the children's bread, nothing wrong with that. So where have you accepted an 18-year bondage as just a thorn when Jesus says that you should be loosed from it? What have you been accepting as something that you're just gonna deal with for the rest of your life when Jesus is saying no, he wants you freed? I ain't gonna lie, this is so good, the spirit's flowing. So when you talk about the seven times worse, that's my personal testimony. Like I've gone through like seven plus seasons where I would go back and where I would go, I would get seven times worse. And what God revealed to me was yes, the demon did come out those seven plus times, but my heart was the core issue was never actually healed. So if you get deliverance tonight, that's a beautiful glory to God, but after deliverance, make sure you actually get in the secret place and ask God, what's the core issue, which is what you're talking about? And the thing that kept coming back to me was like bitterness, bro, offense.

Like that's what was opening the doors to those demons. So to wrap it up, the other day, I was talking to the brother in Christ and I was literally at the edge of going back. I wasn't gonna go back 'cause I know this time I'm like, I'm really sold out, like I'm willing to like, I just, I'm just really sold out this time, bro. But I could felt that my heart, and he's like, bro, God's showing me like there's like poisoning your heart. And he prayed over me and I felt like something came off of me, whether it was in me, on me, whatever it came off of me, but it was like, anyways, it's just a testimony to like, you know, cement your teaching 'cause it's facts. It can't go worse, like it's going worse for me. So, you know, honor it, honor the deliverance if you get delivered tonight. - And put your hand out towards our brother. Come on, we're gonna pray right now. The hand's on up here. Father, we thank you in the name of Jesus Christ. No weapon formed against him can prosper. This man is a mighty man of God. Mighty man of God who doesn't have to work for anything. He is fully accepted by you, Jesus. You fully love him, not based on his performance or past. He's set free. Right now, we thank you, Lord. Deliverance is the children's bread who the son sets free is free indeed.

Holy Spirit, we pray to you. Touch him right now with your presence and your love. Right now, you touch him with your love, knowing that he's loved by all of us. And most importantly, you, Lord. Thank you, Father, for this patient, presence driven man of God. I was gonna continue laboring in the Word in prayer and in worship. Father with no agenda or expectations. Just knowing that he's getting more and more like you, Jesus, your image. Jesus' name, we pray in the church that's together. - Amen. - Amen, my brother. Good love, man. That's it. Oh, right there, Harry. What's up, Harry? - Hey, how you doing? Yeah, so I guess the main thing is honestly, like just the Holy Spirit was revealing to me, like murder, murder in my heart for real. But the other thing is, is like night terrors and attacks in the night? Is that a deliverance thing? 'Cause I know, I know the Psalms. It says, you know, you will not fear the terror of night. I've just gotten so used to it at this point, honestly. Like, I know if my bed's in hell, he's still there.

So I used to spend like hours praying. - Do you pray in that? Do you pray with authority, knowing that they can't come in? - I try, I try to, but like, lately, I just try to intercede for other people rather than pray against that. - Do you have a prayer of your home? One verse I like to use every night. My wife knows this. There's two, actually. First one is Isaiah 54, 17. No weapon formed against my family will prosper every time that rises up against my family will be condemned. This is the heritage of my family, where God's servants and our righteousness comes from God by his blood. I declare that over my two sons, my two daughters, my wife, my dogs, and my house. Almost every night. And the other one is Zechariah 25. Thank you, Father, that you're a wall of fire around this home. Not only is there a wall of fire around this home, but your glory is also in the midst. So your presence is here. And I declare those two every night and I have peaceful sleep. But do sometimes demons try to come torment me at night? To be honest, my wife doesn't even know this. Last night they tried to. I made a decision yesterday that was very important for something that God's been wanting me to do for a minute.

And I did it with excellence and obedience. And it brought a lot of breakthrough in certain areas, but certain demons didn't like it. And man, the Lord told me pray last night. I fell asleep on the bed. I'm like, well, I was, it is shit, it fell asleep. If I did atmosphere, come over my bed and start over like my whole body of the devil. And I'm literally like, I was annoyed, like really, like, I was just like, and I'm getting hit. And I'm like, Jesus, what do I do? He said, "Just pray in tongues. Shh, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta I should have listened to the Holy Spirit and went to my closet before I went to the bed to talk to my wife. I said, "Bid, you want to pray?" She said, "Yeah. Are you going to pray for real?" Kind of. I'm sleepy. And that was that moment where I should have went to the closet and said, "Go to sleep." But I didn't. But it's okay. It's left. Does that make sense? But don't be thinking that these demons have power like that, bro. You have more power than them. You have more power than them, and it's all through your faith. At every verse, you could say, "I do it with such just peace." Thank you, Father. As I'm eating sometimes, eating my little after I preach, go home and get a little snack. Thank you, Father.

You have to fire around this house, and I see the angels of fire around my home. And thank you, that's your glory. The angel, the presence of the Lord, is in the midst. I see the angel covering my family as I sleep. Does that make sense? Yeah. You have to see it, bro. You can't believe it. Because it's usually most nights, I might wake up like three or four times every single night, and I guess someone would be like, "I don't want to keep," and I know it's show. It's happening because you're giving the enemy power through your faith. That's the only reason, bro. In the beginning of my walk, I used to do the same thing. I was casting out a bunch of devils, but I also was giving the devil too much power. I was thinking the devil was a lot stronger than what he is because I'm seeing deliverance. It's crazy, but forgetting, but he lost. That's true. Hallelujah. So, yeah, bro, I'll give the devil power, bro. He lost. They don't look at it like, "We're meeting you, or are we not going to go over at war?" Like, "No, no. He lost. I don't want to be at war with you. I want you to be at a dream. I want to wake up in God's presence. How many people have ever woken up in God's presence?" And you just feel like, "Can you brush on your teeth?" Bro, you literally, "I've woken up worshiping where I'm singing, and I'm like, "I'm floating,

and I'm thinking, Lord, either you just wanted to hit me or somebody was praying for me last night." Probably Denise Myers was praying for me, because none of y'all pray for me. Charles, pray for me. Answer the question, it says, "Where have you accepted an 18-year bondage?" Yes. Mine is chronic nosebleeds. Like, I'll be in the secret place, and my nose will just start bleeding, or I'll be worshiping, and my nose will just start bleeding, and it's happened since I've been in the third grade. That's happened since when? The third grade? I think I like the third grade, yeah. What did the doctor say? It's connected to their belief, they believe it's connected to allergies, but it wasn't always like that. I guess, in the third grade, it started happening every night, and it recently started picking up. So, that's been something that, at first I was like, "Oh, I'm just going to get over it," but now I'm just like, "No, this needs to stop. I'm tired of this." And then, all the tonight, we're going to lay hands on your ... Amen. Amen. We're going to lay hands on your sinus area. You're going to get that freedom tonight, healing in Jesus' name. Pierre, I love you, those, that means? Yeah. I don't know what happened here. Go ahead.

No, that's okay. Let's go. Come on. Yeah. Yeah. Just really quick, if anybody was still on the fence of a Christian guy, I have a demon. Another good example was in Matthew 16, when Jesus is with the disciples, he's like, "Who do you think I am?" And then they are like, "You know, we think you're John the Baptist," or, "You know," and then Peter says, "No, you're Christ," and Jesus is like the spirit of the Lord revealed that to you. And then just a few verses down, you know, he's telling them how he ought to go to the cross and die, and then, you know, zeal allows the spirit of Satan to come in. And then he rebukes them right after that. Jesus speaks to Peter and says, "Get behind me, Satan." So we got a couple verses up. the spirit of the Lord is revealing the Peter and then, you know, just six and Satan was in him because of zeal, you know? But yeah. Amen. All right, S.O.R. 'cause somebody has their hand up for the first time. Come on. Come on, S.O.R., we need more activity. Let's get Chris on. - Hi. - Where are you from? What city and state you from, Chris on? - Connecticut. - Connecticut, cool. Yeah.

So my, what I've been kind of letting settle within me due to fear and bitterness and offense has been this spirit of isolation. It took a lot out of me to even join this today because I've just been under a lot of spiritual attack lately. And I've been noticing that every, a lot of places that I go, like there have been problems. I've been trying to join churches after church, after church trying to find a local church and there's something that is always like blocking my ability to stay rooted in a certain church or anywhere really lately. And I don't know what it is. And I kind of have, I settled for a while into this belief that, okay, maybe it's not my time to be rooted anywhere. And it's until recently where I've been feeling very convicted and I've been getting like kind of like downloads where, you know, I get scripture. Like I just kind of think about a book and then a verse where it'll tell me to, you know, God will tell me to go into the Bible. And I've read several accounts of like, you know, being up with fellowship with other people. And then the most recent one that I keep hearing all the time is wherever I, wherever two or more gathered in my name, there I am with them. So it's just, I feel like God right now is really convicting me and leading me into being

into discipleship and fellowship. So I'm trying to move out of that spirit of isolation and to come closer into community somewhere. You know, if it's, you know, here at the rock or, 'cause I'm so far away from the rock, but you know, I wanted to do discipleship. Like if even if it's at the rock or somewhere else. - So I'll tell you this. You said fear, bitterness. You said a lot of things, right? And I think that the operation that's operating is the root of it, or what it's causing, is an orphan spirit. And the orphan spirit causes a lot more, it causes isolation, 100%. It's rooted in rejection. It's rooted in bitterness, unforgiveness, fear, control. The orphan spirit is a very, very demonic spirit. I want you to buy a book. It's called destroying the spirit of rejection. You can write that down, 'cause you're gonna go through a process of freedom and it's gonna be really good. We do have courses on the School of Revival that you can take as well. My wife has a bitterness course up there. I believe I have a course on destroying the spirit of rejection, but that book is by John Eckhart, is a really good book that I recommend. But I just wanna tell you that there is hope

that you will be set free. We're gonna pray for you right now, 'cause you're about to begin that process of freedom. 'Cause you recognize that you need a stop. Like I said earlier, you recognize that it's a lie, you know what the truth is, but the enemy is pulling you towards the lie. That means the devil has a hold over you. So let's pray for our sister right now. Let's put our hands out towards the screen and you can close your eyes since we're gonna pray. We believe the spirit of the Lord is gonna touch you right now. Holy Spirit, we pray right now for our sister all the way in Connecticut. I'm the present spirit, Holy Ghost. Touch her right now. Every unclean spirit come up and come out of her right now in Jesus' name. Every demonic spirit from the orphan spirit. We break you from fear, from bitterness, from rejection. We command you to lose from her chest, lose from her stomach, lose from her head, and lose from her back. Father, we pray that unforgiveness she has shows meditate on that let go of any unforgiveness that any male or female heard her from or whatever happened that she'll meditate on it, Lord. Go through this process of deliverance and everything will be good in Jesus' name, amen. Get that book, sis.

All right, part three already. The spirit seals the sanctuary, but the courts of your temple can still have squatters and Jesus drives them out. The spirit, the Holy Ghost, seals the sanctuary, but the courts of your temple can still have squatters. We have the outer courts and the inner courts and Jesus drives them out. Where did the presence of God or the Holy Spirit dwell in the temple? Right? Did the Ark of the Covenant dwell in the inner courts? No. So like, think about this, where there's certain priests that can minister in the inner courts that couldn't go to the Holy Holies, where there's certain priests that can do certain things in the outer courts. As a matter of fact, even Gentiles were allowed to go pray in the outer courts as well. People that didn't even follow Yahweh, or they weren't Jews, I'm sorry. So just think about this, is your body a temple of the Holy Spirit? It's like in the Spirit of God dwell in you, but then you still have things that need to be casted out of your inner courts and outer courts. So what's the outer courts and the inner courts of your temple? Outer courts, body, inner courts, soul.

But what seals when you get saved? Your spirit, your spirit man comes alive. That's why you can get filled with the Holy Spirit and still be dealing with a whole bunch of stuff when you come out that water and need deliverance. It could be on your body when you need a healing or a demon casted off your body. It could be in your soul. And again, not every sickness is because of a demon. Makes sense. So here's the picture that settles. The can a Christian have a demon debate, better than any argument, Mark 11, 15. So they came through Jerusalem, then Jesus went into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in the temple. Remember what he said to them? Is it not written, my house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations, but you have made it a den of thieves, right? Remember that? Kick them out. Scripture says again, your body has got its temple, but the Greek knows two temple words. Nose is the inner sanctuary, the holy of holies. Also look where the presence dwells. And here on is the whole temple complex, the courts, the porches, the outer areas. So when Paul says the spirit dwells in you,

your born against spirit is sealed, lit with glory, that no demon can enter. But you are more than just spirit. You are soul, which is mindful in emotions, and your body, the outer courts of the same temple. And what did Jesus find in the courts of a temple where the presence dwell in the sanctuary? Thieves, merchants, squatters, doing business on holy ground. And what did he do? He drove them out. So, and the word there for drive them out is the word ekbalu. And it's the identical verb the gospels use for casting out demons. So ekbalu, for drive them out when he was speaking about the money, the merchants, the squatters, the thieves, the identical verb in the gospels is used for casting out demons. So that is deliverance for the believer in one verse. Not the devil owning this sanctuary, he never can. But Jesus, with a whip of zeal, can evict every squatter from the courts of your temple that belongs entirely to him. So if Jesus walked the outer courts of your temple or the inner courts, let's talk about the inner courts, your thought life, your appetites, your habit, the way you steward your body, would he have to take out the whips

and drive some things out? Just think about it. The thoughts that constantly torment you, is that from God? How about those thoughts that have been tormenting you, does God want you to have them? He's zealous about getting you freed. He wants you to be more freed than you do. Cast that in your heart. Jesus wants you to be more freed than you do. That's amazing, that gives me comfort. To know that my father wants me to be more freed than I do, and I want to be freed. So they can give you comfort to know that Jesus tonight is gonna come with the whip. That's the altar, he's going for you. And you're not gonna get whipped at those demons will. Part four, Jesus called deliverance to children's bread. It belongs on the family table again, not in the back room, Mark 15, 26. But he answered and said to them, is it not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs? And she said, yes, Lord. Yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs, which fall from their master's table. And what do you tell her? Oh woman, great is your faith. Let it be to you as you desire. And her daughter was healed from that very hour.

So you have a Gentile mother. who was he assigned to? Jews. Was Jesus assigned to Gentiles? No. The assignment the father gave Jesus Christ of Nazareth. His son was to go straight to the Jews. Amen. But here we see a Gentile mother, not even a Jewish mother. A Gentile mother begs Jesus for her demonized daughter and Jesus names what deliverance actually is. The children's bread. Who's the children he's speaking of? The house of Israel. He's saying, this is for the children. Think about this, bread is not even an exotic dish. It's the staple of food. Bake daily, turn by every hand at the table. It's so normal that no one in the house considers it remarkable. So why is deliverance nowadays so remarkable? Jesus is saying that in God's economy, deliverance is covenant family food. It's ordinary. Daily provision that belongs to sons and daughters by right of the table. And here's the sting for our generation. This woman again standing outside the covenant fought for crumbs of a loaf

that children weren't even eating. She had more faith in the leftovers of deliverance than the church often has in the loaf. And Jesus marvels at her, great is your faith. And the demon leaves her daughter at a distance, that very hour. If crumbs of the children's bread carry that kind of power for an outsider, what should holos be doing inside the father's house? A church that never ministers deliverance is a family that bakes no bread. And your house is deliverance normal, is it bread? Say yes or no? And that is the ending. My brothers and sisters of teaching too.
