Sonship & Spiritual Warfare (3 of 3)

I bind all your spirits; I forbid all communication - because there's a whole network of spirits. Now, I release the power of God into that situation. I release the angels of God to work. I release revelation. I release an exposure of that thing. I decree the kingdom of God has come into that place!

You've got to use the word of God. You've got to start to exercise something in the spirit. You're the voice, for God in heaven to manifest on the earth. Repent! Get your heart right with God. Build your strength in the spirit!

When David was overcome and defeated – when everyone wanted to kill him, wanted to destroy him… he rose up inside! He strengthened himself in the Lord, and then he started to hear God, and God gave him a strategy. He ended up on top.

When you win this battle, you'll end up on top. You'll end up better than you were. You'll end up with the blessing of God released. You'll end up with things you never expected, because God has been activated to work - because you stopped tolerating something ungodly, and you stood up and said: I and my family, we will serve the Lord. We're going to honour God, and so as the head of the household, I'm going to take contention up against that spirit.

It's quite a simple thing. It's basically the reconnection with God, by removing the entanglements in your heart, and then just pressuring the spirit, day by day. I usually do it for about three weeks. I pressure it, and pressure it, and sometimes there are massive reactions. Sometimes massive reactions happen, and then sometimes it just flushes out, and there it is. Now the problem is out, and we can see it, then we can have a good discussion about new boundaries. You can address the problem.

Always enter spiritual warfare first; and when the Lord says, then you address the problem face to face. You have the facts, you set it out; and then you set new boundaries: this is how it's going to be. You need to be quite insistent, and strong in this area, and not be afraid. Fear is how it will gain access again.

My trust is in the Lord. I'm not afraid of what you will do! I remember standing and facing someone, and they said: this is going to happen, and this is going to happen, and this is going to happen...

I said: I don’t mind. I'm telling you what God wants, and this is how it's going to be. People that had been influenced by that spirit just walked away, but God came through, and we went from strength to strength to strength.

I had people accuse me falsely. I had people say all kinds of things to me. I had people speak false prophesies over me - and none of them have come about. The opposite came about! Exactly the opposite! You see, because my heart was clean, I didn't mind.

God said this to me: don't try to defend yourself. Let Me do that. You'll just make a problem that you can't solve. He said: just be an honourable man; be generous, and honour people; forgive people, and just follow the vision that I have given you.

Don't become entangled in fighting the people. Our warfare is not against flesh and blood. You've got to rise in your spirit. Will there be difficulties? Will it be painful? Of course! But the outcome… You've flushed the spirit out, and you've brought a change in the relationship. Either you're not in it anymore; or you're in it, and it's changed.

If you change you, then everyone around you must adjust, because there's no longer the old you. The people who get angry when you set new boundaries are the ones who were benefiting by you not having those boundaries. The ones who get angry that you've got a new authority in your life, are the ones who benefitted when you didn't have any authority in your life, and you compromised.

That's why we need to stand - get your life back, come out of the cave. Elijah - what are you doing here? You don't belong in a cave! If you're defeated, you need to open your heart and say: God, tonight I'm going to break out of that place. Amen!
