2 ORACLE MINISTRY We offer to help individuals and families who may be living in spiritual bondage and or experiencing paranormal or supernatural situations. We strive to provide a Biblical based, Christian Ministry through which to understand the realms of the spiritual world. If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. I Pet.4:11 And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the priests the Levites Deuteronomy 17:18 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation forever Psalms 12:6-7 And with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us Acts 7:38 because that unto them were committed the oracles of God Romans 3:2 which be the first principles of the oracles of God Heb.5:12 Maurice Chapman Laurette Chapman minister@oracleministry.com C o p y r i g h t O r a c l e M i n i s t r y P a g e 1

3 7 Steps To Staying Delivered Step 1 Put on the whole armor of God as set forth in Eph. 6:10-18 There are six pieces of armor 1. Feet shod with the preparation of the Gospel of peace 2. Loins girt about with truth 3. The breastplate of righteousness 4. The shield of faith 5. The sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God 6. The helmet of salvation Step 2 Praying in the Spirit Refuse the thoughts that demons give you and replace them with spiritual thoughts Philippians 4:8 Positive confession is faith expressed. Negative confessions characterize demonic influence and will open the door to the enemy Mark 11:23. Jesus withstood Satan s temptation by using Scripture. The Word is a mirror to the soul James 1:22-25 It is a lamp unto the feet for guidance Psalm 119:105 It is a cleansing agent Ephesians 5:25-26 It is a two-edged sword, laying bare the heart Hebrews 4:12 And it is food for the spirit I Pete 2:2, Matt. 4:4 C o p y r i g h t O r a c l e M i n i s t r y P a g e 2

4 No person can long maintain DELIVERANCE apart from the Word of God as a primary factor in his life Psalm 1:1-3 Step 3 Take up your cross daily and follow Jesus And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me Luke 9:23 If fleshly appetites, desires and lusts are not brought to the cross, a way for demons to return will be left open Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Galatians 5:19-21 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts Galatians 5: 24 Develop a life of continuous praise and prayer which silences the enemy. For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful I Corinthians 14:14 Pray without ceasing I Thessalonians 5:17 Step 4 Maintain a life of fellowship and spiritual ministry. It is the sheep that wanders from the flock that is most endangered. Desire spiritual gifts and yield to their operation through you within the body of CHRIST I Corinthians 12:7-14 C o p y r i g h t O r a c l e M i n i s t r y P a g e 3

5 Commit yourself totally to CHRIST. Determine that every thought word and action will refl ect the very nature of CHRIST. Faith and trust in God is the greatest weapon against the Devil s lies Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked Ephesians 6:16 Step 5 How to keep free from oppressing spirits Fill yourself with the Word of God and be obedient to what the Word says. You become God-possessed as you hear and do the Words of the Father. You become demonpossessed if you hear and do the words of the enemy Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. John 14:23 Avail yourself of the Blood of JESUS. Learn to ask forgiveness when you sin. Learn to stand tall in His love and grace. Satan must respect the blood And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death Revelation 12:11 Take your freedom by faith. This is your position, declare it, stand on the Word, get stubborn with the Devil, this is your heritage Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you Luke 10:19 Resist the Devil, be sober and vigilant, resist steadfast in the faith, and he will flee from you Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. I Peter 5:8-10 C o p y r i g h t O r a c l e M i n i s t r y P a g e 4

6 Step 6 A loving spirit is needed. Refuse to be hateful and mean; confess love But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; Matthew 5:44 A forgiving spirit is needed; an unforgiving spirit lets the enemy on you again And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. Mark 11:25 A tender spirit is needed. Jesus did not bite back. He was tender: you be like Him. Refuse to yield to the retaliation spirit; do away with critical spirits. Learn to recognize the striving spirit, it is from the Devil, do not yield to it; it will bring you into bondage again. Learn to yield to the peaceable spirit; be a peacemaker. Learn to exercise mercy and gentleness; these are CHRIST-like actions. Remember any enemy spirit that you yield to will bring bondage. Yield to CHRIST s love, meekness and tenderness, and liberation comes And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 2 Timothy 2:24 You must forsake sin lest a worse thing come upon you Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee. John 5:14 Step 7 Lies, Deception and Mind Control In order to avoid the enemy s snares, it helps to recognize some of his strategy. Satan s main strategies are lies, deception and mind control. The scriptures say that Satan is the father of lies. He sows the seeds, fertilizers and propagates lies. Even though they are outside of you, demon powers may still talk to you. Do not accept ideas, thoughts, or guidance as coming from the Lord unless it lines up with the scripture and unless it gives you peace and is normal Christian behavior.

7 Spirit never contradicts the Bible, never creates chaos within, and never tells us to do strange things. Make your stand on the Word of God: If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. John 8:36 On-going Healing It may be that unclean spirits from which you are now free from had been with you for a very long time. In such cases, you can expect several weeks and even up to a year or longer after deliverance during which the Lord will gradually heal your mind and emotions Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us Romans 8:37 Remember, continue to renew your mind daily with the Word of God.
