Deliverance....

This can be a hot topic in some dogmatic groups. We're gonna take a look at a few of the ways we experience deliverance in our walk with Messiah. When looking online for the 3 deliverance strategies I'm aware of, I came across this, by Apostle Joshua Selman.
There are Three (3) Levels of Complete Deliverance: 1). The first level of Deliverance is casting out the spirit influences in your life and behind your challenges. 2). Deliverance through transformation by the Word of God. (Mark 5:15) Transformation closes the door of ignorance and empowers the believer to rise above the influence of demons. Demons easily return to a believer that does not contend for transformation. Demons depend on the wrong mental construct of their victim to remain resident. 3). The third level is the discipline of comformity (Compliance with scriptural standards for victory). You must sustain the discipline to adhere and conform to the principles of scripture designed to keep you in victory.
As Believers, the moment we put our trust in Yeshua for our salvation we enter a Spiritual Battlefield whether we like it or not, and learning about the Spiritual Armour is important in order to be successful in each of the levels of Deliverance. I recognize that Freedom Session deals with level 2 and 3 listed above but it doesn't really touch on the 1st level. So Jamie and I did a thing back in Feb and we went to Nanaimo and met with 3 people there who were discerning and familiar with recognizing and casting out demonic/unclean spirits. Honestly, at the time, it felt like a lot of hype and was kinda weird to be around as I hadn't been around people praying in tongues in a long time. I questioned whether anything was even happening. I experienced tears at one point and repeated a lot of prayers they asked me to say after them. Noteably, praying against the spirit of religiosity, self-righteousness, judgment and pride. These are the ones that stick out in my memory because I went through a massive change over the past 7 months and Abba took me out of the Synagogue of Satan and put me back into His sheepfold. It wasn't until midsummer that I realized the significance of that deliverance session we had gone to!
He gave me compassion for those who I had previously deemed as hopeless, taking away my heart of judgment and replacing it with a heart of love and compassion. It has become easier and easier to catch myself when I start thinking all judgmental again, I know that in order to maintain my freedom from these thoughts I need to stay disciplined and take captive those thoughts right away and replace them with the truth, Yeshua died for ALL and each of us are on our own spiritual journey, instead of judging, it's my job to cheer people on, pointing them towards the One who has all the answers. This spring, I joined the Christian Community again, first it was a ladies book club with the Victory church and then I began prayer walking in preparation for Island Awaken happening across our Island. This was a community that I had distanced myself from for the past 16 yrs. I felt betrayed and used by this community. TYes, there were a lot of things I needed to unlearn and learn, but somewhere along the way I was exposed to a line of thinking that put me straight into the Synagogue of Satan. I am thankful that I'm delivered from that now and I am carefully guarding against the Spirit of Pride taking root again. The discipline of prayer walking has definitely shifted my priorities and I will be sharing more about that in another post. I encourage you to watch the 2nd video on what the synagogue of satan actually is....it was very eye opening for me!

New Beginnings

Image
I've got to say, I really like new beginnings. It's the end of the 7th Biblical month and even though it's kind of the middle of the year, it's the beginning of the new Torah cycle all around the world. We have the opportunity to read it anew and learn more with each cycle, going a bit deeper each year we read through it. As a family, we've read through the Torah portion at least 10 times, but we haven't read through the entire Bible that many times. This year we are reading every night after supper and following the BYNA reading plan found HERE Also new to us (not brand new, but it's been a long time), is that we are hosting Shabbats in our home. I kept getting asked if there was a Shabbat group in town and I would always say, "no, we drive 1hr-2hrs away to join one." Well, that's just not realistic anymore. If there is a need in town for a Shabbat group, AWESOME!!! We'll open our home until we are too big and then we'll find a bi...

Battles

There is such a huge battle going on. While it is in fact invisible most of the time, there comes a time when it DOES become visible and that is often unsettling. I think that is why North America is the way it is. Set-Apart Believers from almost all denominations out there have turned their eye from anything unlovely and just discards it. I am guilty of this myself. I took Philippians 4:8 "Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely,, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy-meditate on these things." to a legalistic level. I not only used it as my guideline for entertainment (which I think is the appropriate use for this verse) but I also used it as a way to set boundaries for myself. I rejected those people who were struggling in areas and were not seeking live to a holy lifestyle. I look back now, and Abba kn...

The Bible From a Medical Perspective/Medicine From a Biblical Perspective-Dr Strydom

Image
After a year of going through the many videos and reading through the articles and book by Dr. MK Strydom, I'm finally at a point where it's time to put what I have been learning into practice. I've been sharing on Facebook a lot of the things I've been learning and that has generated some great conversations! But the bottom line is, I/we need to die to our fleshly desires if we want our lamp filled with oil and to have extra to last until Yeshua returns. I now understand why we can't share our oil with others, all I can do is encourage others to take the journey of sanctification along with me. All the videos for her conference are found on Youtube here, She has other videos on her Youtube channel as well regarding End Times, but I truly do think that that subject is a distraction from intimacy with Abba. He unveils various different patterns in Scripture to each of us, and because of the variety of our backgrounds, there is just as must variety in our interpre...
