Last week I attended another healing seminar, this one is called "Unbound." Neil Lozano and his wife travel extensively lecturing, teaching and applying their foundations of love for Jesus, as the requisite for all deliverance. Deliverance what an intimidating word! Not. Deliverance is a good word. It is taking hold of the full freedom God has given to you in His Kingdom.
Did I receive deliverance? Yes. Did green bile flow from my mouth as my head spun out of control, of course not! Deliverance is not exorcism, deliverance transfers us from one kingdom to another; from darkness to truth and light. 1 John 5:19 We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one. We know also that the son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true---even in his son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.
As I strive and pray to walk a life of holiness, God has begun and continues the tedious job of cleansing, restoring and renewing me to the fearfully and wonderfully made daughter that he created. This on going clean-up is proving to be a long and extensive process, but well worth the work. Psalm 139:23-24 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thought. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
The Unbound ministry teaches deliverance as understanding, "Five Keys," repent, forgive, renounce in the name of Jesus, take authority in the name of Jesus, and receive the Father`s blessing. How simple is that? Just imagine a treasure chest of riches yours for the taking, five keys open the chest and receive the riches. Freedom and deliverance.
But what stands in the way; is it God given free-will that holds us captive in bondage to sin under Satan authority. Is it my will to stay in the stagnation of hurts, lies and strongholds or do I choose to make healing progress by walking in and through the pain and discomfort. Bring on the Kleenex's Father God, I`m ready. I choose to depart from the wilderness striving to reach the mountain top, receiving all that God has planned for me. Show me the face of Jesus! Matthew 17:1-2 After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There he was tranformed before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light.
Renounce--- to give up, especially by formal declaration, repudiate,disown; I am so done with this! Renunciation breaks the power of our enemies, verbalizing the authority releases the stronghold of lies over us and breaks Satan's legal access over us. Renunciation is part of our ongoing conversion. After we make a personal decision to follow Christ, we must choose to become His disciple and be like Him by renouncing anything that does not belong to Christ.
In the name of Jesus, I renounce bitterness. In the name of Jesus I renounce hatred. In the name of Jesus, I renounce anger, rebellion, self-will, stubbornness, quarreling, control, retaliation, accusation, rejection, insecurity, jealousy, withdrawal, escape(biggy for addiction), depression, heaviness, fear, pride, doubt, lust, greed, compulsive behavior, guilt, the occult.....anything strike home?
Desire, another very important key. Desire to know the will and the ways of our Heavenly Father! Psalm 37:4 Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of you heart. Psalm 119:2 Blessed are they who keep his statutes and seek him with all their hearts. Proverb 13:12 Hope deferred makes a heart sick but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life. Isaiah 26:9 My soul yearns for you in the night; in the morning my spirit longs for you. When your judgments come upon earth, the people of the world learn righteousness. 1 John 2:15-17 Do not love the world or anything in the world. if anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world---the craving of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does--come not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever. What is the desire of your heart?
Last night at another healing and prayer class that I `m taking, my friend Maria said to me, "you look good.....I mean from the inside out good, peaceful good!" I responded, "I`m UNBOUND."
Father God, I thank you for the desire that I have for you, I thank you for the Unbound Ministry, I look forward to sharing what I`m learning for your glory. Amen.
