Biblical
basis for a prayer and Deliverance Ministry:
Christian
healing does not come by making a broken thing good
enough to work, but rather by delivering us from the
power of that broken thing so that it can no longer rule
us,and by teaching us to trust Gods' righteousness to
shine in and through that very thing.
The fundemental laws of God are written into the universe
and affect all of our lives as surely as gravity. We are
all subjec t to these laws whether or not we believe
them.
When we transgress them,we set in motion forces that must
be reaped by simple, impersonal law (impersonal law is
that which was created without bias.
gravity is such a law, no matter who jumps off the roof
they go down.) These laws are absolute and eternal. In
our sinful responces to wounding, we began early to
develope patterns of behavior that causes us to reap in
adulthood and sometimes before, those things that we
hate.
Four
basic laws founded on the Word of God which have become
the foundation of this entire discipline:
1.
Honoring/dishonoring parents Duet.5:16
2. Judging and becoming what you judge Matt.7:1,2,
Rom.2:1
3. Sowing/reaping Gal.6:7
4. Unforgiveness Matt.6:12,14
You may add to the principle of increase Hosea 8:7 and
James 1:15 We plant seeds, but we reap a harvest.
The most important thing to remember in this whole
process is that God cannot do two things:
1. He can not over-ride our will
2. He can not forgive us in areas in which, we have not
forgiven
The
laws of God are both natural and spiritual:
NATURAL:
In physics, "For every action there is an equal and
opposite reaction."
In Algebra and Chemistry. "every equation/formula
must balance."
SPIRITUAL: " Do not judge, lest you be judged"
Matt. 7:1,2..... whatever a man sows this he will also
reap." Gal.6:7
CHRIST HAS ACCOMPLISHED OUR SALVATION AND PERFECTION:
however, our carnal nature, slain at the cross, refuses
to stay dead- it springs back to life: " See to it
that no one comes short of the grace of God; that no root
of bitter root of bitterness SPRINGING UP causes trouble,
and by it many be defiled." Heb.12:15
JESUS SPOKE TO HIS DISCIPLES IN LUKE 6:
Take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see
clearly to take out the speck that is in your brothers
eye, LUKE 6: 42.
bad fruit comes from bad roots. LUKE 6: 43
What is in the heart comes out the mouth. LUKE 6: 45
Even from the womb the wicked go astray; from the womb
they are wayward and speak lies. Psalms 58:3
You have neither heard nor understood; from of old your
ear has not been open. Well do I know how treacherous you
are?; you were called a rebel from birth. Isaiah 48:8
The habits, patterns,and structures are the fruit i.e.,
anger, rage, sabotage, fear, one bad relationship after
another, always the victim, negative expectations, ect.
THE ROOT IS ULTIMATELY JUDGEMENTS AND UNFORGIVENESS.
THE SEED THAT IS PLANTED GERMINATES FROM: PAIN, FEAR, AND
OR ANGER,
SINS, JUDGEMENTS, AND UNFORGIVENESS NEED TO BE CONFESSED,
REPENTED OF AND WASHED BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST.
STRUCTURES, HABITS, AND PATTERNS MUST BE PUT TO DEATH ON
THE CROSS.
.
Bring
Back to Life
Through
love we help to establish and restore true Christian
Identity, rather than strong self- image.
The
Struggle for self-image:
I
work on it .I build it. I am necessarily self-centered,
even in good works. I suffer from the
"Nebuchadnezzar syndrone" I am vunerable to the
accuser.
The
Glory of Christian identity:
- God builds
me. 1 Peter 2:5
- I rest in
Him. Heb.4:10
- I am
self-emptied. Phil.2:5-8
- I am free to
set others free. Gal.5:1,13
- I am an
overcomer. Phil.3:20,21
- I am a
sinner saved by Grace. Eph.2:8,9
- I am loved ;
I have treasure, I am fearfully and wonderfully
made. Psalms 139:14
- In him I can
do all things Phil. 4:13
2
Corithians Chapter 4
Speaks
so clearly about our need to continue on a daily basis to
bring our flesh to death on the cross. Pride of life
takes so many different forms.
When we have experienced some deliverance, and we receive
some training to help others receive theirs, if we are
not careful and ever mindful we ourselves slip into the
mode that says,"I am all fixed! Now I am good enough
to reach out and fix others."
We won't be fixed until Jesus comes. Don't fall into this
trap.
When you reach out to minister and you see people set
free and walk free; before you reach around to pat
yourself on the back, take a moment to remember that
there were a group of people in matthew 7:22 who were
very pleased with them selves, and what they did for
Christ.( What they did was ask their father for money, so
that they could bring Jesus a gift, and then take credit
for everything themselves.)
It is not what we do for Jesus, it is what we allow Jesus
to do through us.
OLD
TESTAMENT
Psalm 23 -- The Lord is my shepherd, I shall lack
nothing. He makes me to lie down in green pastures, he
leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He
guides me in paths of righteousness for his names sake.
Even though I walk through the shadow of the valley of
death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod
and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table
before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my
head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love
(mercy] will follow me all the days of my life, and I
will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
NEW TESTAMENT
Matthew 9:16 -- 'No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on
an old garment, for the patch will pull away from the
garment, making the tear worse.
Matthew 12:4345 -- "When an evil spirit comes out of
a man, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does
not find it. Then it says, 'I will return to the house I
left. When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied,
swept clean and put in order. Then it goes and takes with
it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they
go in and live there. And the final condition of that man
is worse than the first. That is how it will be with this
wicked genera-fion."
Matthew 13:24-30 -- Jesus told them another parable:
"The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good
seed in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his
enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went
away. When the wheat sprouted, and formed heads, then the
weeds also appeared. The owner's servants came to him and
said, Sir, didn't you sow good seed in your field? Where
then did the weeds come from?'
'An enemy did this, he replied.
"The servants asked him, 'Do you want us to go and
pull them up?'
'No,' he answered, because while you are pulling the
weeds, you may root up the wheat with them. Let both grow
together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the
harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in
bundles to be burned, then gather the wheat and bring it
into my barn."'
Matthew
16:19-- "1 will give you the keys of the kingdom of
heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in
heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in
heaven."
Luke 6:42 (NAS) --' ... take the log out of your own eye,
and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that
is in your brother's eye."
Luke 6:4348 -- "No good tree bears bad fruit, nor
does a bad tree bear good fruit. Each tree is recognized
by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from
thombushes, or grapes from briers. The good man brings
good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and
the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up
in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his
mouth speaks.
"Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do
what I say? I will show you what he is like who comes to
me and hears my words and puts them into practice. He is
like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid
the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent
struck that house but could not shake it, because it was
well built."
John 15:1-2 -- '1 am the true vine and my Father is the

"It is finished." With that, he bowed his head
and gave up his spirit.

are for-given; if you do not forgive them, they are not
forgiven.'
Romans 6:6 (NAS) -- . . . our old self was crucified with
Him, that our body of sin might be done away with
Romans 6:11-14 (NAS) --. . . consider (reckon)
your-selves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ
Jesus. . do not let sin reign . . . do not go on
presenting the members of your body to sin.., but present
yourselves to God as those alive from the dead.
Hebrews
3:12--See to it, brothers, that none of you has:
sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living
God.

rests from his own work, just as God did from his.
Hebrews 10: 10-14 -- . . . we have been made holy through
the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
Day after day every priest stands and performs his
religious duties; again and again he offers the same
sacrifices, which can never take away sins. But when this
priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins,
he sat down at the right hand of God. Since that time he
waits for his enemies to be made his footstool, because
by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who
are being made holy.
James 5:16-- Therefore confess your sins to each other
and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The

I Peter 1:5 -- ... [you] through faith are shielded by
God's power until the coming of the salvation that is
ready to be revealed in the last time.
I Peter 2:5 -- .. . you also, like living stones, are
being built into a spiritual house to be a holy
priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to
God through Jesus Christ.
I John 1:7-9-- ...if we walk in the light, as he is in
the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the
blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin, If we
claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the
truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is
faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify
us from all unrighteousness.
I John 3:2 -- Dear friends, now we are children of God.
and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we
know that when he appears, we shall he like him, for we
shall see him as he is.
I John 3:6,9-- No one who lives in him keeps on sinning.
No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known
him. ... No one who is born of God will continue to sin,
because Gods seed remains in him; he cannot go on
sinning, because he has been born of God.
I
Corinthians 15:31 (NAS) -- I die daily.

in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved
me and gave himself for me.

desires.

of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up
until we all reach unity in the faith and in the
knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining
to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
Philippians 2:5-8-- Your attitude should be the same as
that of Christ Jesus: who, being in very nature Clod, did
not consider equality with God something to be gasped,
but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a
servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in
appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became
obedient to death--even death on a cross!
Philippians 4:10-13 -- I rejoice greatly in the Lord that
at last you have renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you
have been concerned, but you had no opportunity to show
it. I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have
learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know
what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have
plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any
and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether
living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through
him who gives me strength.
Colossians 3:3, 9-10-- For you died, and your life is now
hidden with Christ in God ... Do not lie to one another,
since you have taken off your old self with its practices
and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in
knowledge in the image of its Creator.
