Extend forgiveness towards those who have hurt you

Unforgiveness will hinder or block the healing power of the Holy Spirit. It will bind you up and separate you from God’s forgiving and healing power. It is vital to release those feelings that you have against others, so that the Holy Spirit’s healing and forgiving power can heal and restore your soul.

Unforgiveness is a deadly poison that separates us from God’s forgiveness in our own lives and gives us over to tormenting spirits. It is hard to receive healing when one is in such a position. Consider these passages in scripture concerning the deadliness of unforgiveness and bitterness in our lives:

Mark 11:25-26, “And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.”

As we can see, unforgiveness will block God’s forgiveness from operating in our own lives. Inner healing requires God’s forgiveness.

Matthew 18:32-35, “Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellow servant, even as I had pity on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him. So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.”

Unforgiveness will put us into the hands of tormenting spirits. This is the last thing we need when we’re seeking healing for our souls! As if that isn’t enough, unforgiveness also puts a person in spiritual darkness and separation from God, and defiles us spiritually:

1 John 2:11, “But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.”

Hebrews 12:15, “Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled.”

It is absolutely essential to release feelings of bitterness and unforgiveness, in order to fully receive healing for our souls. Forgiving others will welcome the healing power of the Holy Spirit into our lives.

Realize God’s will for your mind and receive it!

2 Timothy 1:7, “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”

Abuse, trauma, hurt and pain are all works of the devil. Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil and restore His children to the fullness to which He created them to fulfill. When Jesus was here on earth, He went about doing the will of the Father in heaven, and this included healing all who were oppressed of the devil:

Acts 10:38, “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.”

Jesus desire for you is to heal your broken heart and set you who have been bruised at liberty:

Luke 4:18, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised.”

He wants to restore your soul from all the damage that has been done to you:

Psalms 23:3, “He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.”

Realize the love of God for you; this will help you open up and receive inner healing

Knowing the true nature of our heavenly Father will help us to trust Him and open ourselves up so that we can receive the healing that only the Holy Spirit can provide for us.

Romans 8:32, “He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?”

After Christ has suffered and died for us, why would He withhold healing our wounded souls? We can confidently open up to Him and know that He has our best interests in mind simply by looking at what He went through on the cross for us.

You are loved by God, not because of what you’ve done, but because of who you are. The Bible tells us that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. He longed to have a relationship with you even before you became His child!

Romans 5:8, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

Jesus said that the greatest love a man can show for his friends, is when he lays down his life for them. Jesus laid down His life for us – that is how valuable and dear we are to Him!

John 15:13, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”

Did you know that God loves us with the same love that He had towards Jesus Himself? Yes, believe it or not, this is true! I want you to look up this verse in your Bible:

John 17:23, “I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.”

It is absolutely essential that we learn of and realize the love that our heavenly Father has for us. Without knowing the love of God for us, we cannot be filled with His fullness:

Ephesians 3:17-19, “That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God.“

Release those hurt, painful and fearful emotions into the hands of Jesus

Hanging onto fear, hurt and pain can actually block the healing power of the Holy Spirit in your soul. It is vital to open up and allow the Lord to heal your wounds.

Luke 4:18, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised.”

Jesus paid the price for the healing of our souls and to set us free from the bondage that we have come under from the bruises that we’ve received. It is important to God that we receive this inner healing… His Son paid a costly price for it!

Matthew 11:28-30, “Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

In the above verse, it’s not speaking about a heavy physical burden, but a burden in a person’s soul. This is made evident in the later part of this passage where it says, “Ye shall find rest unto your souls.” Jesus is telling us to come unto Him and give Him our heavy burden, and take His yoke which is light and easy to bear.

Allow your painful emotions to be released as you give them to the Lord. It’s okay to cry, sob and let the damaged emotions come out as they are given to the hands of the Lord. Holding on to the pain and hurt will only prevent you from be healed.

James 5:16, “Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.”

If you can find a person to confide in, it can also be very helpful to share your burden with them and receive prayer for healing. There is tremendous healing that can take place as you share your pain with a fellow brother or sister in Christ!

Biblical steps to inner healing

I have compiled a basic list of fundamental steps that are so important for those receiving or ministering inner healing. This is a vital part of the deliverance ministry and plays an irreplaceable role in setting many free today.

God wants to take your wounds, pain, hurts, and sorrow!

Before we begin, I want you to know that God desires to heal our wounds and take our pain and hurt from us. You know how you can love somebody so much, that you wish you could take their pain or suffering from them? That’s how Jesus feels about us… He loves us so much that He paid the price for our emotional healing in the work on the cross!

Isaiah 53:4, “Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.”

He carried our sorrows in His work on the cross. The NT Greek tells us that the word sorrows here literally refers to anguish, affliction, grief, pain, and sorrow. Jesus took these things and paid the price with His own blood for us! You need to know that God desires to heal your broken heart and bind up your wounds. This is what the Bible tells us:

Psalms 147:3, “He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.”

Do you want to receive healing from emotional wounds, pain, sorrows, grief, and anguish? It is vital that we take advantage of what Christ has done for us, and learn to cast our cares upon the Lord. Not some of them, but ALL of them; knowing that He cares for you and wants to take those things from you.

1 Peter 5:7, “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.”

Deliverance from abortion’s aftermath

The good news for those who have had an abortion is that they can be forgiven, and set free from the aftermath of it. It is almost always necessary that such individuals go through a deliverance to rid themselves of any unclean spirits that they have picked up, tear down strongholds that have come on the scene, receive quality post-deliverance discipleship and maintain a healthy relationship with God so that they can receive and hold on to their freedom. It may be possible to receive a measure of freedom without a deliverance, but I would never bypass this step if I had an abortion (murder) in my background. It’s possible to experience a certain amount of freedom, without dealing with the root, but in such cases they will still remain in bondage in some way or another and it just doesn’t go away. If unclean spirits are involved, then the partial freedom that they find will be continued to be challenged, and fought for as the spirits continue to work on the person to pull them down and torment them. After complete deliverance, the person may still need post-deliverance discipleship, but the problems will go away and the person will not have to continually fight against the negative ‘pull’ in their system.

If the person has allowed guilt and shame to overtake them for a measure of time, then it is vital to tear down strongholds as well. True repentance of such a sin is an absolute necessity, and without which, true deliverance cannot be attempted. Abortion must be repented of for what it really is, and that is murder of an innocent child. The person must learn to forgive themselves as well for what they have done, and learn to love and accept themselves as Jesus loves and accepts them. They also need to believe and accept the forgiveness that Jesus has for them (have Bible verses handy to assure them of God’s forgiveness). It is also important to be sure that any bad soul ties (sex outside marriage) is broken, and the sin of fornication (or adultery) needs to be brought before the Lord in repentance as well before the deliverance process begins. After true repentance has happened and legal grounds have been broken up (bad soul ties broken, etc.), then it’s time to move on to tearing down any strongholds that are present and begin casting out the spirits that have entered the person.

Who is behind the pro-choice movement?

As the Bible tells us, we do not wage war against flesh and blood, but against various ranks of evil spirits (demons):

Ephesians 6:12, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

Those who have had a decent amount of experience in the ministry of deliverance, usually have came across quite a few spirits that go by the name Jezebel. The Jezebel spirits are what was behind the evil queen in the Bible which went by the name Jezebel, and are alive and well in many women today. Jezebel is accurately said to be Satan’s woman. I personally believe that the women’s rights movement is fueled by ruling spirits of Jezebel. The goal of Jezebel is to usurp the woman’s authority over the man in the household. The spirit of Jezebel is said to be known as ‘extreme selfishness’, and is the cause of many working mothers today, which can afford to stay at home with their children, but refuse to do so for the sole purpose of driving a better car and living in a better home. This same spirit tells America that the unborn child can be a hindrance to woman’s rights, and that it is more important that the woman can choose to abort the hassle rather than preserving the child’s life.

Let me ask you this, if abortion is the murdering of innocent children (which it is!), then would you put it past “Satan’s woman” to be behind such a horrific mass-killing in the world today?

I didn’t want to go into much detail on this (the spirit of Jezebel can be a teaching all in itself), but I did want to give you a brief understanding of the demonic force that we are up against in this battle against abortion.

The linkage between abortions and suicide

Abortion is nothing less than murder, and opens the door to spirits that will drive a person into the ground. Depression is a common side effect that is experienced by those who have had an abortion. It is not uncommon for this depression to affect the person so badly that they are driven to suicide. Suicide is almost always, if not always caused by a demon… how does a spirit of suicide enter these women? They have been defiled through murder, which opens them up to a murder-related spirit of suicide!

In 1986, the University of Minnesota did a study and reported that a teenage girl who has had an abortion within the past 6 months, is 10 times more likely to commit suicide than a teenage girl who hasn’t had an abortion! In 1987 a study revealed that 28% of women who have had an abortion attempted suicide later on. An 18 year old girl admitted that two days after her abortion, she wrote a suicide note to her parents and boyfriend, then went down stairs and found her dad’s gun and put it to her head.

When running somebody through a deliverance, it is a good idea to keep an eye out for a spirit of murder or suicide. When a person defiles themselves through murder, they have opened legal grounds for related spirits to enter them. Many women who have had abortions have picked up spirits of suicide, as a result of being defiled through murder.

What abortion clinics don’t want you to know… The Silent Scream

Fetus’ have feelings… as we can see in Luke 1:44, John the Baptist leaped for joy when he heard Mary’s voice. During an abortion, it is true that the fetus can feel the pain and reacts to the danger. The silent scream is where a baby is being killed, and the child expresses unspeakable terror just moments before being killed. Since the Silent Scream is a subject all in itself, I am going to point you to a Web site, where they go into much more detail on the Silent Scream, and even show a video of an abortion in action where you can clearly see the Silent Scream taking place… a word of warning, this film is very graphic and not recommended for children to view! After all, abortion is not a pretty scene, and is nothing short of gruesome murder of an innocent and helpless child! Click on the link below for more information on The Silent Scream:

SilentScream.org

Abortion’s aftermath is proof alone that abortion is indeed spiritual! Jesus made it clear that murder is a source of spiritual defilement:

Matthew 15:18-20, “But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: These are the things which defile a man…”

Some women may not seem to be tormented so badly by abortion’s aftermath, but that is if their conscience has been sheered as by a hot branding iron:

1 Timothy 4:2, “Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron.”

Satan is not a dummy when it comes to deceiving the world (isn’t he known for his clever deception?). There are some women who experience little or no torment after having abortions, but I believe they are simply ‘spared’ as to deceive the rest of us that it’s okay to have abortions and not all women will be tormented afterwards. Wouldn’t it make sense if Satan keeps 3% of those women who have abortions to be examples of how not all women are tormented after having an abortion, so that they could tell the rest of us how they have not been negatively affected by their abortion? Don’t fall for Satan’s clever deception.

If a fetus (unborn child) was simply a mass of tissue, then it would be impossible for any woman who believes such a lie to experience such awful mental torment and shame after having an abortion.

The truth is, abortion is a source for enormous spiritual and mental bondage and torment. It is a means for spiritual defilement, just as cold-blooded murder is, and opens a person up to unclean spirits (demons) to enter and harass the person. Studies have shown that abortion is also linked to suicide because of such torment and bondage… many women feel it’s better that they weren’t even born if they have to face such torment. Nobody knows what it’s like to be in bondage, until they are the ones facing it in their own lives, and the sad truth is that many women today don’t realize what they are getting themselves into until it is too late, and the damage is already done.

Women who have had abortions are almost always said to experience some or many of the following symptoms:

– Bondage to shame and guilt

– Nightmares relating to the abortion

– Feeling that God would never forgive them

– Depression which can lead to suicide (Studies show that abortion is linked to suicide)

– Self-hatred for allowing themselves to do such a thing

– Sleep disorders – finding it hard to get to sleep at night

– Flashbacks and even hearing sounds of children crying

– Desire to have another baby to replace the aborted baby

– Inability to form a true loving bond with her other children

– And many many more…

The list of side affects from an abortion are long. Jesus made it clear that murder is a means for defilement, and defilement is an open door to unclean spirits to come in and play havoc in a person’s life. I believe behind almost every (if not every) case of suicide, is a spirit… a demon that drives the person to take their own life to end the pain they are facing. People who have came close to suicide will often admit that there was a force that was ‘driving’ them to take their own life. It often tells them that they could end all of their problems by pulling the plug.

At what point does the spirit join with the body?

At what point does the baby (whether born or unborn) actually become a human being possessing a spirit? Does this happen when the child is 18 years old, and is said to be an adult? Does this happen when the child says it’s first words? How do we know when this happens? We could assume it takes place at the age 18, which would make it seem ok to kill anybody under 18. That would be silly, wouldn’t it? Who is to say that the baby isn’t a real human until it leaves the womb? This is what the pro-choice argue, but do they have any proof of this? Can it be backed with scripture? Absolutely not! It is nothing more than an assumption, at which, they are not capable of backing with any real proof!

Nowhere in the entire Bible does it give us even a hint that the child does not become a human being with a spirit until it leaves the womb!

Luke 2:21, “And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.”

2 Kings 4:17, “And the woman conceived, and bore a son at that season that Elisha had said unto her, according to the time of life.”

If you take the word ‘conceive’ in the above verse and look it up in it’s Hebrew roots, we are given the Hebrew word harah, which interprets to: “A primitive root; to be (or become) pregnant, conceive (literally of figuratively): – been, be with child, conceive, progenitor.” For a woman to conceive, it literally means that she is now WITH A CHILD. What do the pro-choice tell us? That it’s not really a child, but just a mass of tissue! Sounds like those who believe we came from apes, and are still just a mass of tissue ourselves!

An unborn child is still a person in the eyes of God: The Bible is clear that God formed us in our mother’s womb, and He knew us before we were even CONCEIVED!

Genesis 25:23, “And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.”

God is saying that there are two persons living in this woman’s womb, and each of them will bring fourth a nation.

Isaiah 49:1, “Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb…”

Here we see the Lord calling somebody from the womb… clearly, the person was there, or God would have been calling nothing from the womb. The Bible is also clear that He knew us from the womb:

Jeremiah 1:5, “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.”

Also notice in the above verse how God sanctified and ordained somebody before they were even born! How could this take place if there was not a real human being present in the womb?

Here’s another verse that helps show us how God brought David out of his mother’s womb…

Psalms 22:9, “But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother’s breasts.”

Can a mass of tissue be filled with the Holy Ghost? Can a mass of tissue leap for joy? Apparently, John the Baptist was much more than tissue, as we can see in the following verses…

Luke 1:15, “For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother’s womb.”

Luke 1:44, “For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.”
