So anyway nothing like the prophetic and deliverance - so the Bible's very clear in Proverbs 28, Verse 13. It says: if you cover what's going on in your life, you can't go forward or prosper. You just actually have to confess and forsake. You've got to get rid of the masks. You know in Isaiah, I think 30, it says: woe to those who cover up with a covering that's not of Me. God has got a provision for you, but to get it, you've got to take off the one you've put on. When Adam and Eve put the covering on themselves to get God's provision, they had to take off their one, so first step is take off your covering, take off the mask. Whoo whoa! Oh, that Lone Ranger mask is a very good mask. Okay anyway, so the second thing is, we need to break our agreements with evil spirits.
We need to break our agreements with evil spirits. Oh dear, what do you mean agreements with evil spirits? Well some people have sat down and written out a deal with a demon, actually with more than one demon. I don't recall doing that. Well it looks like you have, the way you live your life, you must have. How did I do that? Well the Bible fortunately, actually explains how we do it. Look in Isaiah 28, Verse 15 - look at this. We have made a covenant with death - that's a pretty strong agreement. We're married to the spirit of death, and with hell we're in agreement, that tormenting demon, yes, we've come into agreement - latter part - four - this tells how we did it - we made lies our refuge, and under falsehood we have hidden ourselves. My goodness me, that's how you get into agreements with demons. You cover yourself with lying, you cover yourself with a mask, cover yourself with pretences. When we do that, we're virtually giving agreement to a demon, to come into our life, and to trouble us.
The devil's very keen to do that, so it may well be that when a spirit comes to you, and whispers in your ear: you're no good, you're nothing, no one wants you; and you agree with that, you've given it power over your life. So part of getting out of shame, I have to break agreements with any accusing spirits, any spirits that shame me. Any spirits that put words or voices or thoughts into my mind, concerning shame, I have to break the agreement with them. I have to refuse to accept their lies any more, have to refuse to accept them. Sometimes we need to make a stand against them, and repent them. Jesus has given us total acceptance, so any demon that says: well nobody loves you - actually usually the way they say it is like this. The demon stands alongside you, or he's actually probably in you by that stage, and he just says something like this: nobody loves me - and you pick it up. Oh, nobody loves me. Nobody cares about me - oh, nobody cares about me, I'm all alone. Yeah, I'm all alone - and you begin to listen.
Some people are having this dialogue with demons, listening to thoughts that come out of hell. You've got to break those agreements. You've got to not agree with any of those thoughts. You've got to agree with what GOD says! I LOVE YOU! I care for you! You are Mine! You are special to Me! Cast your cares on Me, because I care about you! Oh there's heaps of scriptures. You've got to get the scriptures into your heart, and shift what you do - so break the agreements with demons, and the last part here, let go the grief, and the reactions to being shamed. Let go the grief. We've got to abandon the reactions, and the grief, of being shamed. When we get shamed we're hurt. I shared with you some experienced I've had that were incredibly shaming, and as a result of that there was tremendous pain inside, great pain. Now what are you going to do with it, just pretend it isn't there? I know what I'll do, stuff, stuff, and put on the Christian mask! [Laughter] Praise the Lord! Now this doesn't buy it, because you've still got it inside you. You've actually got to be honest with your feelings. Sometimes that can take a little while. How do you really feel about that matter, how did it really affect you?
