00:00:02.025 --> 00:00:03.670
Coming up on Renewed Mindsets.

00:00:03.670 --> 00:00:11.073
In popular culture, demons are portrayed as frightening monsters that disrupt the lives of unsuspecting people.

00:00:11.073 --> 00:00:16.071
However, this portrayal oversimplifies how demons actually impact us.

00:00:16.071 --> 00:00:27.143
Understanding the concept of open doors is key to recognizing how these demons can enter our lives and, more crucially, how we can resist and close these doors.

00:00:27.143 --> 00:00:31.696
Let's get ready for warfare.

00:00:31.696 --> 00:00:44.886
Hey, welcome to Renewed Mindsets, where we study the basics of the faith through the lens of our middle-aged experiences.

00:00:44.886 --> 00:00:51.121
I'm Rick.

00:00:51.121 --> 00:00:57.365
Welcome to the show where I help you, gen Xers and Millennials, navigate spiritually through a world that looks nothing like we expected back, when cars were square and mullets were totally awesome.

00:00:57.365 --> 00:01:05.489
I am so glad you're here, so let's just jump right in with some scripture.

00:01:05.489 --> 00:01:07.325
Ephesians 4.27.

00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:17.066
I've looked and got different translations of this verse that all mean the same thing, but they all say it a little bit differently.

00:01:17.066 --> 00:01:19.528
We'll start with your King James Version.

00:01:19.528 --> 00:01:21.566
Neither give place to the devil.

00:01:21.566 --> 00:01:25.234
The English Standard Version says and give no opportunity to the devil.

00:01:25.234 --> 00:01:28.242
The English Standard Version says and give no opportunity to the devil.

00:01:28.242 --> 00:01:37.980
Now the New Life Version, which I've never read before Do not let the devil start working in your life.

00:01:37.980 --> 00:01:42.364
And then the Amplified Bible, which I've never looked at, but it's really good.

00:01:42.364 --> 00:01:46.689
I don't know if it's a good translation, but what I'm reading here is appropriate.

00:01:46.689 --> 00:01:56.694
And do not give the devil an opportunity to lead you into sin by holding a grudge, nurturing anger and harboring resentment or cultivating bitterness.

00:01:56.694 --> 00:02:04.989
Now, that's a lot of words for a couple words in the Greek that it was translated from, but either way, I like what it says.

00:02:07.540 --> 00:02:17.152
Now, the term opportunity in the Greek is topos, which literally means a set-aside place or demarcated space.

00:02:17.152 --> 00:02:23.431
It's a place that you've unknowingly or knowingly allowed in your life.

00:02:23.431 --> 00:02:33.568
Now, as far as spiritual warfare goes, the kingdom of darkness seeks what we refer to as open doors to gain access to a person's life.

00:02:33.568 --> 00:02:41.389
Satan can't overstep his boundaries and oppress or oh, what's the word I'm looking for here?

00:02:41.389 --> 00:02:47.412
Possess a Christian without being granted legal permission.

00:02:47.412 --> 00:02:53.169
So actually possess probably isn't a good word.

00:02:53.169 --> 00:02:58.106
We're just going to say influence without being granted permission.

00:02:58.106 --> 00:03:04.884
Now, consenting to and believing the devil's deceptions that's what the permission is.

00:03:04.884 --> 00:03:09.693
You're forming an agreement with the devil that allows him entry into your life.

00:03:09.693 --> 00:03:30.554
Now, these open doors might be unintentional a lot of times, like when children are exposed to demonic influences by their parents, but demons, you have to remember, operate as legalists, they can only function within the limits of their authority, which was diminished because of the cross of Jesus Christ.

00:03:30.554 --> 00:03:49.236
They were stripped of their power, so revoking this legal right enables you to compel these demons to vacate the designated topos or space that you might have permitted.

00:03:50.979 --> 00:03:56.073
Now, despite these truths, a whole lot of people around the world maintain open doors to demonization.

00:03:56.073 --> 00:04:01.752
Basically, the Bible serves as a manual of life safety precautions.

00:04:01.752 --> 00:04:18.812
The Holy Bible provides guidance on identifying and sealing these open doors and expelling any demonic forces that reside inside you or that reside within the aspects of your life.

00:04:18.812 --> 00:04:32.129
Now, recognizing these entry points, it enables you to discern how demonic influence or curses got in, how to eradicate them and how to prevent them from returning.

00:04:32.129 --> 00:04:35.048
You could see it in the Gospels.

00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:39.819
Jesus confronted curses and demonic spirits throughout his ministry.

00:04:39.819 --> 00:04:52.012
He fulfilled prophecies about his ever-expanding kingdom on the earth Isaiah 9-7, of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end.

00:04:52.012 --> 00:04:58.252
In the Living Bible, his ever-expanding, peaceful government will never end.

00:04:58.252 --> 00:04:59.779
Now.

00:04:59.779 --> 00:05:13.209
This expansion and growth occur through the preaching of the gospel and by reclaiming territory that was once dominated by evil forces, evil beings, the demonic.

00:05:15.012 --> 00:05:20.367
Luke 11, 20 in King James says but if I cast out demons by the finger of God.

00:05:20.367 --> 00:05:28.379
Surely the kingdom of God is upon you, god?

00:05:28.379 --> 00:05:29.622
Surely the kingdom of God is upon you To truly break free.

00:05:29.622 --> 00:05:30.624
We've got to sever curses and expel these demons.

00:05:30.624 --> 00:05:31.966
There's no other way.

00:05:31.966 --> 00:05:39.987
Mark 1.27 says, and he was preaching in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, casting out demons.

00:05:39.987 --> 00:05:42.072
Think about what I just said.

00:05:42.072 --> 00:05:44.932
Think about what I just said.

00:05:44.932 --> 00:05:53.720
You've got to understand that demonic territories are not necessarily physical locations, but they can exist within your human spirit.

00:05:53.720 --> 00:06:06.742
Now, the majority of Jesus' ministry, or a lot of it, the majority of his ministry of deliverance, was carried out in synagogues, places that were filled by people who worship God.

00:06:06.742 --> 00:06:11.470
Now, this underlines his teaching in Luke 17, 21.

00:06:11.470 --> 00:06:19.372
You won't be able to say it has begun here in this place or there in that part of the country, for the kingdom of God is within you.

00:06:19.372 --> 00:06:36.117
Christ's freedom doesn't try to relocate you, but to liberate you from the internal chains that bind your life.

00:06:42.860 --> 00:06:46.447
I've got seven areas in our lives where you might need deliverance or where signs of deliverance may manifest.

00:06:46.447 --> 00:06:57.553
You've got emotional issues just persistent confusion and loneliness, feelings of being unloved, chronic sadness and grief, insomnia, restlessness.

00:06:57.553 --> 00:07:04.733
It's depression, depression.

00:07:04.733 --> 00:07:13.514
You've got mental challenges fear, anxiety, confusing thoughts, just mental burdens and paranoia.

00:07:13.514 --> 00:07:21.499
People hearing voices, just irrational thoughts and actions.

00:07:21.940 --> 00:07:38.425
This third one was a big one for me it was speech issues Consistent constant negativity, uncontrollable swearing, blasphemous speech, cursing, vulgarity, being argumentative, ugh.

00:07:38.425 --> 00:08:07.374
Fourth one's a big one sexual issues, fornication, persistent lust, adultery, homosexual tendencies, pornography, addiction, deviancy, deviant desires like pedophilia, and bestiality and gender confusion and bestiality and gender confusion.

00:08:07.374 --> 00:08:22.925
Fifth one is addictions alcohol, smoking, drugs, sexual addiction, overeating gambling, video games, excessive video gaming.

00:08:22.925 --> 00:08:40.929
Then you've got physical afflictions just unexplained weakness and repetitive sickness, undiagnosed illness, intermittent symptoms without clear causes, unexplainable rashes.

00:08:40.929 --> 00:08:54.652
You've got religious misconceptions, doubt in God, aversion to Christ, skepticism about the Bible, an interest in the occult and witchcraft, paranormalism.

00:08:54.652 --> 00:09:02.658
It's also possible to encounter other oppressive or controlling issues that aren't listed in what I just said, but what I said is a lot of them.

00:09:04.461 --> 00:09:16.633
You know from observation and experience in ministry I've just seen that these vulnerabilities to demonic influence, they occur at our weakest moments.

00:09:16.633 --> 00:09:28.432
1 Peter 5.8 reminds us Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary, the devil, walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

00:09:28.432 --> 00:09:44.149
The Living Bible elaborates on that, warning us to guard against the fierce attacks from our formidable enemy, satan, who prowls like a starving lion seeking a victim to destroy.

00:09:44.149 --> 00:09:49.903
You know, before I became born again, I was really unaware of all these vulnerabilities in my life.

00:09:49.903 --> 00:10:05.402
It was through spiritual warfare and the teaching that I got at my current church that I learned how to shield myself effectively from demonic influence and curses.

00:10:05.402 --> 00:10:09.049
That I learned how to shield myself effectively from demonic influence and curses.

00:10:10.009 --> 00:10:15.903
It's crucial for every baptized, born-again Christian living a consecrated life to understand that they need not fear demonic forces.

00:10:15.903 --> 00:10:19.279
You don't have to be scared of the demonic.

00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:35.019
Walking in the fear of the Lord seals off any legal access for these demons to afflict your life and even if you're attacked, like Jesus and the apostles were, you can resist it in the name of Jesus.

00:10:35.019 --> 00:10:41.840
That ensures that they can't harm you and your spiritual defenses are secure.

00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:50.080
Now, consecration you heard me say consecration that's just setting yourself apart to live a holy life.

00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:56.062
I talked about that on a past episode about being holy.

00:10:56.062 --> 00:11:04.899
That is key and it's going to be different among different people depending on your personal battles with worldly temptations.

00:11:04.899 --> 00:11:09.629
Different among different people depending on your personal battles with worldly temptations.

00:11:09.629 --> 00:11:19.139
You know a life dedicated to prayer and the word that ensures guidance by God and the Holy Spirit and these open doors which curses and demons come in.

00:11:19.139 --> 00:11:30.208
There's many of them, but awareness and vigilance can keep these doors firmly closed.

00:11:30.208 --> 00:11:33.514
Here's some ways which these demons can have access to your life.

00:11:33.533 --> 00:11:37.201
You can have a family background in the occult or false religions.

00:11:37.201 --> 00:11:44.815
False religion is a religion that denies Jesus Christ is God.

00:11:44.815 --> 00:11:55.922
You can have negative prenatal influences your parents who were engaged in sinful acts during conception and while you were cooking inside your mama's belly.

00:11:55.922 --> 00:12:23.404
You got abuses from early childhood physical or sexual abuse, emotional abuse, a traumatic experience you might have gotten in an accident or a sickness or criminal activity, divorce, perverted observations, sinful acts or habits, particularly fornication.

00:12:23.404 --> 00:12:28.659
I mean that's by far the number one way evil spirits are transferred is through sex.

00:12:28.659 --> 00:12:37.399
Yeah, if you're having sex outside of marriage and that person is eat up with demons, guess what you got them now?

00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:51.288
That's a heck of a sexually transmitted disease laying out of hands these that's a heck of a sexually transmitted disease Laying out of hands.

00:12:51.288 --> 00:12:55.754
These false religious ceremonies and dedications.

00:12:55.774 --> 00:13:09.514
As children, word curses are just spoken all over people, idle words Speaking of word curses, speaking direct curses over your life or through others, through undisciplined speaking.

00:13:09.514 --> 00:13:11.698
You know, sometimes you just got to watch what you say.

00:13:11.698 --> 00:13:19.490
There is power If you're a Christian, if you're born again.

00:13:19.490 --> 00:13:29.932
There's power in your words and just idly saying things like something as simple as saying I'm so stupid, that's a word curse, you can't speak that on yourself.

00:13:29.932 --> 00:13:35.633
If you've ever talked to someone who is aware of that and they'll say I rebuke that in the name of Jesus.

00:13:35.633 --> 00:13:37.238
I used to hear that all the time.

00:13:37.238 --> 00:13:38.301
I'm like what are you talking about?

00:13:38.301 --> 00:13:40.094
I'm just talking.

00:13:40.094 --> 00:13:43.322
You don't realize there's power in your tongue.

00:13:43.322 --> 00:13:58.389
You don't realize there's power in your tongue that there's one area that by far would have to be the biggest reason why so many Christians today are afflicted or harassed, or tormented by demons.

00:13:58.570 --> 00:14:01.803
That's the lack of sanctification.

00:14:01.803 --> 00:14:03.952
1 Thessalonians 4, 3-8.

00:14:03.952 --> 00:14:20.442
For this is the will of God, your sanctification, that you should abstain from sexual immorality, that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in the passion of lust, like the Gentiles who do not know God.

00:14:20.442 --> 00:14:28.724
You can be saved, healed and delivered today, right here, right now.

00:14:28.724 --> 00:14:49.255
But you have to follow Jesus and consecrate your life Because, you see, becoming a Christian means that we come out of the world, not the earth, but the world's ways of ungodliness, and by choosing to follow Jesus Christ, there's an immediate calling out of the world, so to speak.

00:14:49.856 --> 00:14:54.995
So when we say the world in the New Testament, we're reading from the Greek word cosmos.

00:14:54.995 --> 00:15:04.596
The cosmos most often refers to the inhabited earth and the people who live on the earth, which functions apart from God.

00:15:04.596 --> 00:15:08.663
Satan is the ruler of the cosmos.

00:15:08.663 --> 00:15:12.572
1 John 5.19.

00:15:12.572 --> 00:15:17.363
We know that we are children of God and that the world around us is under the control of the evil one.

00:15:17.363 --> 00:15:24.663
The simple definition of the word world refers to a world system that's ruled by Satan.

00:15:24.663 --> 00:15:29.133
World refers to a world system that's ruled by Satan.

00:15:29.153 --> 00:15:35.104
When Jesus said that believers are no longer of the world, we're no longer ruled by sin, nor are we bound by the principles of this world.

00:15:35.104 --> 00:15:45.601
Now, in addition to that, we're being changed into this image of Christ, causing our interest in the things of this world to become less and less as we mature in Christ.

00:15:45.601 --> 00:15:54.037
So, in a nutshell, believers in Jesus Christ are simply in the world physically, but not part of it, not part of its values.

00:15:54.037 --> 00:15:58.260
As believers, we need to be set apart from the world.

00:15:58.260 --> 00:16:01.298
We should be set apart from the world.

00:16:01.298 --> 00:16:08.474
This is the meaning of being holy and living a holy, righteous life to be set apart.

00:16:08.474 --> 00:16:11.822
You heard me say that last week or two weeks ago.

00:16:14.071 --> 00:16:27.143
We're not here to engage in the sinful activities of the world, all the stuff that it promotes, and we're not to retain the insipid, corrupted mind that the world creates.

00:16:27.143 --> 00:16:32.562
We've got to conform ourselves and our minds to that of Jesus Christ.

00:16:32.562 --> 00:16:36.859
And here we are, back at Romans 12, 2.

00:16:36.859 --> 00:16:49.698
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

00:16:49.698 --> 00:16:59.636
Transformed by the renewal of your mind, that's what I'm trying to help you with here every week.

00:16:59.636 --> 00:17:12.041
Every week, we've got to also understand that being in the world, but not of it, is necessary if we're going to be a light to those who are in spiritual darkness.

00:17:12.041 --> 00:17:18.659
Sit back for a second, just ask yourself are you a light to those around you?

00:17:20.010 --> 00:17:28.133
We're supposed to live in a way that people outside the faith will see our godly lifestyle and know that there's something different about us.

00:17:28.133 --> 00:17:49.011
Being in the world also means that we can enjoy the things of the world, such as the beautiful creation God has given us so much, but we're not supposed to immerse ourselves in what the world values, nor are we supposed to chase after worldly sinful pleasures.

00:17:49.011 --> 00:17:57.133
Sinful pleasure is no longer our calling in life, as it once was, but rather the worship of God.

00:17:57.133 --> 00:18:01.818
A great example of that is Mardi Gras.

00:18:01.818 --> 00:18:07.405
That's an example of unrestrained and ungodly living.

00:18:07.405 --> 00:18:15.584
The people that participate in that are saying to God that we don't want your demands of holiness.

00:18:15.584 --> 00:18:25.285
The result is just utter perversion and the sinful behavior that's contemptuous to a holy God.

00:18:26.771 --> 00:18:45.522
We got to pray for their salvation, but a decision to live a consecrated life by being in the world but not of it it's really a hallmark of Christianity, and without consecration it's really nothing more than a useless religion that has no power.

00:18:45.522 --> 00:18:50.905
So, in other words, christianity and consecration go together.

00:18:50.905 --> 00:19:08.480
It's a choice that every person who comes to Christ is going to face and have to make the friends you associate with, the places that you go for pleasure, the things you engage in, the people whom you're going to be intimate with.

00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:14.902
So what's the answer to these open doors to curses and demonic intrusion?

00:19:14.902 --> 00:19:22.316
Simply put, it's time to close the doors, and you can do that through repentance.

00:19:22.316 --> 00:19:26.951
Repentance means to come back to God and change your mind.

00:19:26.951 --> 00:19:35.923
It's a definite decision, but with Christ you'll be empowered by his Holy Spirit to keep those doors shut.

00:19:35.923 --> 00:19:42.513
Remember what Jesus said sin no more.

00:19:42.513 --> 00:19:46.502
Now you can pray and ask God to deliver you from these demons.

00:19:49.710 --> 00:19:58.400
But if you're not familiar with spiritual warfare, I recommend you find a church that deals with deliverance, a full gospel Pentecostal church of God.

00:19:58.400 --> 00:20:02.271
It's a good place to start Now.

00:20:02.271 --> 00:20:20.493
I can't emphasize the importance of being born again, baptized by water and the fire of the Holy Spirit, because not allowing the Holy Spirit to fill the void left by those demons and your possible failure to fully repent can open that door back up.

00:20:20.493 --> 00:20:30.652
And whatever demons were cast out, they'll return and they're going to bring seven other buddies with them and you're going to be in worse shape than when you started.

00:20:30.652 --> 00:20:42.200
Now I'm going to give you an example of the kind of prayer that you might hear or say when you're going through deliverance, just so you'll have an idea of what to expect.

00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:44.785
Because I had no idea what to expect.

00:20:44.785 --> 00:20:49.141
It was an experience, let me tell you.

00:20:49.141 --> 00:20:50.892
So.

00:20:50.892 --> 00:20:52.156
This is just an example.

00:20:52.156 --> 00:20:59.820
It's not something that you need to memorize or say word for word, whoever you go to for deliverance is going to already know what needs to be done.

00:20:59.820 --> 00:21:02.032
But this example.

00:21:02.914 --> 00:21:06.942
Heavenly Father, I stand here today in your holy presence, ready to give you my life.

00:21:06.942 --> 00:21:12.843
I recognize and confess that I've sinned and opened up doors in my life which have consequences.

00:21:12.843 --> 00:21:17.549
I humble myself before you, lord God, and renounce all of these open doors.

00:21:17.549 --> 00:21:42.148
Before you, I renounce and repent of any family background in the occult or false religion, any negative prenatal influences, any abuses from my childhood, any traumatic experiences, any sinful acts or habits, father, my fornication, any laying out of hands, any idle words that I've spoken.

00:21:42.148 --> 00:21:50.298
For all of this I'm so sorry and repent of any open doors that have brought a curse or any demonic intrusion in my life.

00:21:51.172 --> 00:21:56.900
Today, father, I humble myself and seek to be saved and healed and delivered in the name of Jesus Christ.

00:21:56.900 --> 00:22:04.460
Father, god, you are all good, you are filled with goodness and you're good to me.

00:22:04.460 --> 00:22:09.140
With you, father, all things are possible and my freedom is possible.

00:22:09.140 --> 00:22:21.175
Right now, any sickness, oppression or turmoil in my life is a lie and I reject the lies of Satan and only accept that in you, lord Jesus, that I'm saved and healed and delivered.

00:22:21.175 --> 00:22:29.000
I leave this altar today completely restored, made whole and sound in spirit, soul and body, in Jesus' name.

00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:39.619
The Holy Spirit empowers you now to keep these doors closed and to resist any demonic attack from the enemy.

00:22:39.619 --> 00:22:50.865
You should have had the blood of Jesus applied over your life for safety and protection, and now you're filled with the Holy Spirit and fire.

00:22:54.192 --> 00:22:55.155
I know this is a lot.

00:22:55.155 --> 00:22:58.419
I know some of you are scoffing or laughing.

00:22:58.419 --> 00:23:06.078
Let me tell you spiritual warfare is real and you need deliverance.

00:23:06.078 --> 00:23:12.660
If you've never had deliverance, I guarantee you're carrying something around.

00:23:12.660 --> 00:23:18.381
I haven't met anybody yet.

00:23:18.381 --> 00:23:22.641
I haven't met anybody yet that hasn't needed to get rid of something.

00:23:22.641 --> 00:23:31.039
If you want true freedom in Christ, you need to close those doors.

00:23:31.039 --> 00:23:35.078
You might not even know they're open.

00:23:35.078 --> 00:23:36.615
That's the bad thing.

00:23:36.615 --> 00:23:37.355
I've been delivered from things that I didn't even know they're open.

00:23:37.355 --> 00:23:37.474
That's the bad thing.

00:23:37.474 --> 00:23:53.722
I've been delivered from things that I didn't even know had affected me my whole life Open doors from my childhood that changed my personality.

00:23:53.722 --> 00:24:06.144
That changed my personality that I'm just now becoming who Christ, who God wanted me to be from the beginning.

00:24:06.144 --> 00:24:06.425
I love you.
