Christians Demonized? - How to take authority over demonic spirits-is sure to create a stir among many Christians today. Dwight Keith soberly and conscientiously presented the validity of a subject many fundamental Christian church leaders would probably denounce as far-fetched, extreme or heretical. But, it's not any of those when you look at the Holy Scriptures and how real experiences can be easily matched to demonic oppression, even if the person oppressed has been a born-again Christian for years. Dwight distributed a four-page handout featuring the most supportive Scriptures on this subject of how Christians can become demonized as well as how to deal with it. Personal Deliverance (The following was taken from the hand-out given to each attendee to the Wednesday Warriors to study and pray over before returning next Wednesday, July 13th to submit to supernatural deliverance) What are Demons? (Revelation 12:9) Demons: Have a will; (Matthew 12:44) Have emotions; (James 2:19) Are Intelligent; (Mark 1:24; Ephesians 6:11) Have Self Awareness; (Mark 5:9) Have Ability to Speak; (Mark 5:9; Matthew 8:29) Do Christians Ever Need Deliverance? (Acts 8:19, 20-2; 1 Timothy 4:1; 2 Corinthians 11:4) Most of us come to Jesus with iniquities and sins, having demons that came in our "old life" or were "generational." Not every time are we delivered from sins and evil habits and demon influence when we were born again. These demons need to be cast out. We have been given the authority to cast out "our own" demons: Luke 10:17-19; John 1:12; Matthew 18:18; Luke 17:5-6; 1 Peter 5:8-9) How do demons come in? 1) The weakest point and the weakest place 2) Family background in occult or false religion 3) Emotional shock or sustained emotional pressure 4) Laying on of hands 5) Idle words 6) Prenatal Negative Influences 7) Continual Sinful Acts or habits 8) Unforgiveness How to know if I have a demon (Is it flesh or demon?) 1) Am I continually "enticed" to sin or continue in an ungodly habit or act? 2) Am I "harassed or compelled" to "react or participate" in an unGodly way? 3) Do I have a "chronic" infirmity, sickness, pain or disease over an extended time? 4) Do I have an "addiction" that "enslaves" me? 5) Is my thought life continually defiled with evil fantasies and fear? 6) Do I have an argumentative, critical, know-it-all spirit? 7) Do I see myself asa loser, sinner, guilty, shameful person? Areas of Personality affected by demons 1) Emotions and attitudes 2) The mind 3) Sex 4) The tongue 5) Physical appetites 6) Our beliefs 7) The physical body Preparing for Deliverance (1) Personally affirm your faith in Jesus - "Believe Jesus" John 14:12; 1 John 3:21-3 (2) Humble Yourself James 4:10; 1 Peter 5:6; Matthew 23:12 (3) Confess and repent of all sins Psalms 32:5; 1 John 1:9; Acts 17:30 (4) Repent of all judging, backbiting and unforgiveness Ephesians 4:32; James 4:11; 1 John 4:21 (5) Renounce, Rebuke and "Disown" any occult influence or curse and cancel it by faith Ephesians 4:27; Galations 3:13-14 (6) Repent of guilt, unrighteousness, shame and unbelief Romans 5:17; Romans 4:16 (0:00) Say this prayer to the Father, in Jesus' name, by faith.
