Part 7: Gd s Slutin t ur mess 109
Gd s Slutin t ur mess Alright s we nw see the extent f ur mess. First, that because f man s fall, we are ALL brn with the twisted nature f iniquity within us. On tp f this, bth ur frefathers and we urselves have added t this mess thrugh further iniquity, transgressin, and sin, as well as thrugh vilating Gd s Trah [Instructins/Wrd] cncerning the ccult, bldshed, and sexual iniquities. This mess has left mst f us with a pretty large tree f iniquity that is by nw prducing a buntiful harvest f crrupt, evil and destructive fruit. It s ne terrible cycle passed frm generatin t generatin. Is there hpe? Is there any way ut? Is there freedm frm this bndage? Hallelujah! Our Gd is an AWESOME Gd! Wh in His Lve fr us has prvided the alltime Cure, Slutin, and Atnement thrugh Messiah Y shua [Jesus]! There is hpe, there is a way ut, and there is mst assuredly freedm frm the bndage all in Messiah and His Sacrifice. Y shua [Jesus] is ur ONLY Way, Truth, and LIFE! 110
Again, like Israel in the Land, standing befre the giants and strnghlds Gd has prmised us FREEDOM and VICTORY! He has prmised t break the yke f the enemy, t destry his pwer and hld ver ur lives in fact, the pwer f the enemy HAS ALREADY been brken at the crss by Y shua [Jesus]. All we must d nw is apprpriate this in ur lives [engage ur will], and c-perate with the Hly Spirit in HIS Wrk in bringing us t FULLNESS. We must keep in mind that entering and taking pssessin f the land is a JOURNEY, a prcess. Exdus 23:29-30 29 I will nt drive them ut frm befre yu in ne year, lest the land becme deslate [fr lack f attentin] and the wild beasts multiply against yu. 30 Little by little I will drive them ut frm befre yu, until yu have increased and are numerus enugh t take pssessin f the land. The purpse f this curse and particularly this manual has been t expse exactly what the giants and strnghlds are, hw they have been invited int the land and then t walk yu thrugh step-by-step the battle prcess f bringing each f these strnghlds dwn, t destry the enemy battle-by-battle t cut dwn the tree at the rts. Getting dwn t the ROOT is a very key principle t understand in deliverance and inner healing [actually, this principle can be applied t all areas f life]. In rder t destry the tree, yu gt t chp it dwn cmpletely, and pull ut all/any rts there can be NO cmprmise! There will always be a ROOT whether it be smething frm ur past, a memry, a demnic cvenant in ur generatins, and s frth. Like in the physical, rts can have rt SYSTEMS. Examples f these in the spiritual are: Ethnic rigin, Parents, frefathers, ccult rts. Stature, Appearance, gender, abilities, talents, Educatin, Habits, ideals, values, traditins, beliefs, Lifestyle, Culture, preferences, attitudes, gals, Scial status, Relatinships, experiences, and memries (bruises). Hw d these rt systems affect me? Hw I bserve. Hw I feel. Hw I react. Luke 6:39-45 2 Timthy 1:7 Clssians 3:1-25 111
Jhn 3:6 6 What is brn f [frm] the flesh is flesh [f the physical is physical]; and what is brn f the Spirit is spirit. What des Gd say I must d? Lay the axe t the ROOT f the tree! Luke 3:8-9 8 Bear fruits that are deserving and cnsistent with [yur] repentance [that is, cnduct wrthy f a heart changed, a heart abhrring sin]. And d nt begin t say t yurselves, We have Abraham as ur father; fr I tell yu that Gd is able frm these stnes t raise up descendants fr Abraham. 9 Even nw the ax is laid t the rt f the trees, s that every tree that des nt bear gd fruit is cut dwn and cast int the fire. 1. Renunce: a. Traditins, i. Matthew 3:9-10 b. Man s pinins, i. Acts 5:29 c. Harmful inheritance, i. Luke 14:26-27 d. All ccult invlvement, i. Rmans 6:11; Clssians 3:1-25 112
2. N mre dependence n family rts: a. N genetic rigin, i. Galatians 3:28; Clssians 3:11, b. Frever uprted: i. Natinality; ii. Classes (pr/rich); iii. All are equal befre Gd, 1. Rmans 10:12 iv. Free frm the law f sin, 1. Rmans 8:1-13 Thrugh Messiah Y shua [Jesus]. We are GRAFTED int the True Vine the Natural Olive f Gd s Family and Cvenant! We are made with Designer Genes! Seed f Messiah, " Galatians 3:13-16 In Messiah, " Galatians 3.26-29 Receive implanted Wrd, " James 1:21 Grafted int a new rt system! Partakers f the Divine Nature, " 2 Peter 1:4 Children f Gd, brn f Gd, " Jhn 1:11-13 Grafted int the Natural Olive, " Rmans 11:15-25 In rder t prduce Gdly fruit! As a result f the Vine, " Jhn 14:1-8 Fruit f the Hly Spirit, " Galatians 5:22-25 Live the life f Messiah, " Galatians 2:20; Jhn 15:1 5; Philippians 4:13 113
Gd s Slutin fr iniquity, transgressin, and sin We encurage yu t really study and meditate n this Scripture if nly we culd truly grasp and believe this Truth! What is Gd s Precius Answer t all mess? Luke 4:18-19 18 The Spirit f the Lrd [is] upn Me, because He has aninted Me [the Aninted One, the Messiah] t preach the gd news (the Gspel) t the pr; He has sent Me t annunce release t the captives and recvery f sight t the blind, t send frth as delivered thse wh are ppressed [wh are dwntrdden, bruised, crushed, and brken dwn by calamity], 19 T prclaim the accepted and acceptable year f the Lrd [the day when salvatin and the free favrs f Gd prfusely abund.][isa. 61:1, 2.] Isaiah 53:5-6 5 But He was wunded fr ur transgressins, He was bruised fr ur guilt and iniquities; the chastisement [needful t btain] peace and well-being fr us was upn Him, and with the stripes [that wunded] Him we are healed and made whle. 6 All we like sheep have gne astray, we have turned every ne t his wn way; and the Lrd has made t light upn Him the guilt and iniquity f us all. [I Pet. 2:24, 25.] Y shua [Jesus] paid the price in FULL: A WOUND is the breaking f skin; explsin thrugh the surface f the skin t let ut what is inside bld. This w a s f r u r TRANSGRESSIONS. A BRUISE is the damaging f the tissue f the bdy belw the surface f the skin internal bleeding. This was fr the healing f ur SOULS (mind, will, and emtins). Nte, the wunds d nt pay fr ur INIQUITY. CHASTISEMENT vs. PEACE Chastisement is t punish r beat. Peace [shalm] is quiet, mentally calm, t becme recnciled. Y shua s [Jesus ] birth recnciled man t Gd. 114
The STRIPES n Y shua s [Jesus ] back were a cmbinatin f wunding and bruising. His Bdy was ripped apart with a cat-f-nine-tails t pay fr all ur sicknesses and diseases. This was fr ur physical healing. We als knw that nt all sickness and disease are frm utside many are frm within, such as emtinal turmil, grief, srrw, depressin, stress, and s frth. Titus 2:14 14 Wh gave Himself n ur behalf that He might redeem us (purchase ur freedm) frm all iniquity and purify fr Himself a peple [t be peculiarly His wn, peple wh are] eager and enthusiastic abut [living a life that is gd and filled with] beneficial deeds. [Deut. 14:2; Ps. 130:8; Ezek. 37:23.] This is truly the GOOD NEWS! The cmbined quarters represent my COMPLETE SALVATION spirit, sul, and bdy. Als remember: Galatians 3:13 13 Christ purchased ur freedm [redeeming us] frm the curse (dm) f the Law [and its cndemnatin] by [Himself] becming a curse fr us, fr it is written [in the Scriptures], Cursed is everyne wh hangs n a tree (is crucified); [Deut. 21:23.] The wrd REDEEM means t buy frm/back. Messiah has bught us back frm the curse f the law. Y shua [Jesus] redeemed us frm all sin, transgressin, and iniquity, as well as frm every frm f sickness, prblem and persecutin that we wuld ever experience in ur walk here n earth! We see that the man wh has sinned must die n a tree: 115
Deuternmy 21:22 22 And if a man has cmmitted a sin wrthy f death and he is put t death and [afterward] yu hang him n a tree, Paul tells us that Y shua [Jesus] reclaimed us frm the curse f the Law frm death due t ur wn sin. Galatians 3:13 13 Christ purchased ur freedm [redeeming us] frm the curse (dm) f the Law [and its cndemnatin] by [Himself] becming a curse fr us, fr it is written [in the Scriptures], Cursed is everyne wh hangs* n a tree (is crucified); *NOTE! The wrd hang in Deuternmy 21:22 is the wrd tallit the prayer shawl that hangs ver ne s shulders! Nte t, Y shua [Jesus] did nt stp the curse. It is still cntinuing t this day. What He did was make a New and Living Way by His Bld and make it pssible fr us t enter int the Hly f Hlies. Hebrews 10:19-20 19 Therefre, brethren, since we have full freedm and cnfidence t enter int the [Hly f] Hlies [by the pwer and virtue] in the bld f Jesus, 20 By this fresh (new) and living way which He initiated and dedicated and pened fr us thrugh the separating curtain (veil f the Hly f Hlies), that is, thrugh His flesh, Galatians 3:14 14 T the end that thrugh [their receiving] Christ Jesus, the blessing [prmised] t Abraham might cme upn the Gentiles, s that we thrugh faith might [all] receive [the realizatin f] the prmise f the [Hly] Spirit. The blessings f Abraham are nt autmatic. We cme int the Cvenant thrugh FAITH in Messiah Y shua [Jesus] in walking in bedience t Gd s Ways [Trah], we receive His FULL Blessings! 116
Y shua [Jesus] is the Name abve all names! He is truly the Lamb f Gd Wh takes away the sin f the wrld! We have nly t apprpriate the Prmises f Gd the victry has already been wn! Because we d nt apprpriate it all, we cannt walk in the full liberty that His Bld, His Bruising and His Wunds have prvided fr us. Remember, NOTHING happens autmatically in the spirit dimensin. Psitinal Truth versus persnally APPLIED Truth. Hsea 4:6 6 My peple are destryed fr lack f knwledge; because yu [the priestly natin] have rejected knwledge, I will als reject yu that yu shall be n priest t Me; seeing yu have frgtten the law f yur Gd, I will als frget yur children. If we d nt have the full revelatin f the price that Y shua [Jesus] paid fr us we will nt APPROPIATE all that He prvided. Fr example, Y shua [Jesus] dies fr the whle wrld but nt everyne is saved. Prvisin has been made fr the salvatin f each persn but EVERY knee shall bw and EVERY tngue shall cnfess that Messiah Y shua [Jesus Christ] is their Lrd. We have t apprpriate it fr urselves. Healing is nt autmatic we have t apprpriate it by FAITH even thugh the Wrd says, by His stripes we ARE healed (1 Peter 2:24). 2 Crinthians 5:17 17 Therefre if any persn is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creatin (a new creature altgether); the ld [previus mral and spiritual cnditin] has passed away. Behld, the fresh and new has cme! It is clear that Messiah made FULL PROVISION fr us t be set free frm satan and the flesh/ld man's authrity. Yu d nt need t be cntrlled by these tw authrities any mre BUT why are there still s many f Gd's children bund in sin and disease? Have they applied this scripture t their wn lives? ALL is available I must make it my OWN! The fllwing are crss-references t the verse abve: 117
Ephesians 4:22-24 22 Strip yurselves f yur frmer nature [put ff and discard yur ld unrenewed self] which characterized yur previus manner f life and becmes crrupt thrugh lusts and desires that spring frm delusin; 23 And be cnstantly renewed in the spirit f yur mind [having a fresh mental and spiritual attitude], 24 And put n the new nature (the regenerate self) created in Gd s image, [Gdlike] in true righteusness and hliness. The fllwing is a general hw-t guideline in dealing with persnal/generatinal curses, bndages, and/r destructive patterns [sins] in ur lives. NOTE, this is the general guideline there may be additinal and mre specific steps/prayers that must be wrked thrugh in rder t receive healing and cmplete FREEDOM 45. It is fr this very reasn that we have put tgether the series f bks f prayers f renunciatin. These prayers are t be wrked thrugh in cnjugatin with this prcess f deliverance. In ging thrugh this prcess, we encurage yu t speak these steps ut as a prayer. Speech has POWER yu are declaring yur repentance f iniquity/idlatry and prclaiming yur FREEDOM frm all bndages thrugh Messiah Y shua [Jesus]. CONFESS REPENT RENOUNCE CANCEL Cnfess the sins, iniquities, and drways that gave legal right t the enemy [be as specific as pssible] f yur frefathers as well as yur wn. Ask fr Gd's Frgiveness fr entering int the sins f yur frefathers, and fr yielding t the curses affecting yu. Chse t turn away frm any and all sins f yur frefathers, as well as yur wn persnal sins. It may be helpful t use the checklist fr this step. Renunce any mre invlvement, r "putting up with" sins and curses. Reject these curses and evil practices. It may be helpful t use the checklist fr this step. Cancel any fruit/effect n yur life and ask the LORD t remve all the memries assciated with it. 45!Please!nte,!if!yu!d!nt!receive!breakthrugh!in!an!area,!there!may!be!underlining!r! deeper!rts/issues!that!must!be!addressed!and!dealt!with.!!if!this!is!the!case,!we!encurage! yu!t!cntact!ne!f!ur!team!cunsellrs![details!n!the!website],!r!a!trained/trusted! persn!frm!yur!church!r!cmmunity. 118

FORGIVE F r g i v e y u r ancestrs including yur parents, wh may be still alive fr any and all sins that they have cmmitted which have affected yur life. Frgive them fr specific sins as apprpriate. FORGIVE FORGIVE BREAK COMMAND REMOVE RECEIVE Frgives every living p e r s n w h h a s s p k e n c u r s e s against yu and/r yur ancestrs. Frgive yurself, fr yur wn persnal sins, and particularly fr carrying guilt, shame, self-hatred, and fr self-curses. Break the pwer f any and all curses in the authrity f the Name f Y shua [Jesus] and in His Finished Wrk n the Crss (Galatians 3:13). Refuse the kingdm f darkness any right t carry ut any curses. Cmmand every evil spirit t g in the Name f Y shua [Jesus]. Remve everything that witnesses against yu this culd include symbls and/r bjects. Receive Gd s Frgiveness and Atnement speak frgiveness (Jhn 20:23) and pray fr cleansing (1 Jhn 1:9). 119
APPROPRIATE UNLOCK AFFIRM Apprpriate and apply the pwer f the Crss and the shed Bld f Y shua [Jesus] Messiah t stp all judgments and curses. Unlck the spirit, sul, and bdy frm the place f captivity in the spirit. Pray fr physical healing if necessary. Affirm yu have a new Father a new family-line, that f Abraham, Isaac, and Jacb. Nt nly are yu in a new Kingdm (Clssians 1:13) but, yu are in a new Family, where there are n sins f the fathers (1 Jhn 3:1-2). Ask fr the Spirit f Adptin by which we cry, Abba Father! [Rmans 8:15]. PRAISE We encurage yu t nw spend time in praise and wrship, taking Gd fr the wrk He has dne in yur life and the wrk He is still ding, in bringing yu t FULLNESS fr His Kingdm. Ask Father Gd t rebirth yu and t establish His Plan and Kingdm in yur life that He may restre the Gdly aninting and call/ministry. Ask Gd t engraft yu in the True Vine, Y shua [Jesus Christ]. Allw the Hly Spirit t shw yu which things have happened repeatedly in yur family. Whether it be sin, early deaths, divrces, sicknesses, abuse (emtinal, sexual) miscarriages, childlessness, and s frth. This is such a KEY pint ask the HOLY SPIRIT t guide yu in this entire prcess. REMEMBER, He is ur Perfect Cunsellr He leads us int all Truth! In the fllwing sectins, we will be lking at sme specific pints/ prayers dealing the three main rts f the tree f iniquity/idlatry invlvement in the ccult, invlvement in bldshed, and invlvement in sexual iniquities. 120
