Have you ever experienced a spiritual bondage? It has something to do with something that you have struggled for a while and could not break through. You need a major deliverance from the Lord Jesus. You need healing for your past hurt, pain and disappointment. The strongholds could have become so strong over time due to lack of knowledge of the problem (Hos. 4:6). Your problem could have many hidden layers. The devil is very cunning, and we cannot be ignorant of his devices. He is like a roaring lion roaming around looking for easy targets to prey on.
Does it have demonic origin like the craft, witchcraft, voodoo, runes, ouija board, occult, psychic, divination, tarrot cards, palm reading, white magic or black magic? Is it perpetual sin? Is it total disobedience against God's Word with some type of deviant behaviors? Is it boiling anger or rage that is out of control? Is it bitterness, resentment and un-forgiveness that give power to the devil to take you hostage? Whatever it is that is mastering you meaning it is controlling you, you are in bondage.
There is a whole new satanic supernatural realm that the Bible talks about in Ephesians 6 that we are to be aware. Even though the battle belongs to the Lord, we need to be on His side; we need to be equipped with the truth, God's Word. You need to know that spiritual warfare is real, and it's deadly if you are ignorant and ill-equipped with the truth and the power of God's Holy Spirit. We must be aware of satanic attacks and oppression.
Do you know that as a child of God, you have authority to bind demons and cast them out? Do you know that the Son of God has come to destroy the works of the devil and He wants you to do the same thing? Do you know that Satan has been defeated.
Jesus cast out demons so many times. You can cast them out in the Name of Jesus. You can be set free from any bondage today. Jesus' Name is above every name. It's the Name that you can trust and use effectively to destroy the works of the devil in your life.

Resist the Devil, and he Will Flee from You
Satan has a claim on any human being and even in a life of a Christian when he/she sins against God. Satan obtains a legal right or a claim to a life when a person deliberately sins against God and violates the Word of God.
This act of rebellion opens a way to spiritual attack or demonic oppression.
Just like Paul, the Apostle, I am also the chief sinner. I had a broken family. I failed in my previous marriage. However, the grace of God has carried me through some of toughest times of my life. I have experienced the severest attack from my enemies, and from Satan himself with all demonic attacks. I have seen and realized who are my real friends. They are so few!
Amazingly, I have read and found in Scripture that God is faithful and righteous, and He will forgive us. I know for a fact that after one confesses the sin, repents the sin, renounces the evil thing and asks God for forgiveness, one can receive God's forgiveness and healing and deliverance.
One has to renounce the claims that Satan has over one's life. God does forgive absolutely; He will restore and bless again. However, I know, sometimes, it's hard for a person to forgive himself/herself; it's hard for the family members or the people in the church to forgive the person because of their pride and attitude of self-righteousness. It's easy for one to fall into a trap to think that one is holier than others.
Indeed in my experience, I know Satan will never want to leave a soul. He will fight back spiritually, mentally, emotionally, physically and financially as well. The demons will resist and fight back with many wicked manifestations. They do not want to be sent back to the bottomless PIT. However, Scripture lets us know that Satan is a liar; He can disguise himself as angel of light; he is the thief who has come to steal, kill and destroy. Jesus has come to give us life and life abundantly.
In the Name of Jesus, Satan has to go and leave the body it oppressed or possessed. Satan in the Name of Jesus I declare that you are defeated by Jesus. I declare that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. HE is my Healer and my Deliverer. He is my God.

Spiritual Warfare, the Battle Is Real
Spiritual warfare is something that I have learned recently with real first hand contact of the enemy, Satan and his evil forces and their wicked schemes.
Evil forces invading people's life, demons with all their harassment, demonic oppression, possession and many devilish tools used to attack Christians on a regular basis and to cause fear, hopelessness and depression even to the point of death.
I don't know about you, but I feel these attacks more often than before. The Bible says, Resist the Devil and he will flee from you. As a child of God, you and I have authority and the power to resist Satan and all his demonic forces in the Name of Jesus. We are to plead the blood of the Lamb of God over us to protect us from harm. We are to break this evil power over people's life in the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
The witchcraft, the curses, the generational family curses are all very real in the spiritual realm. They do affect our natural realm in a very tangible way. It alters the mental status; it affects the moods and feelings; it turns a normal person into a very violent one; it keeps people in bondage with the lure of sex, alcohol and drugs and prescription drugs and household chemicals.
I have found that rage or anger is the strongest feeling that I have seen often displayed and evil deeds manifested out of control; pure hatred for the things of God and God Himself is blamed for many unfortunate things happen in people's life. People are tormented by the past hurt, pains and disappointment. They are angry and they like to take this angry feeling out on someone's else, whoever happens to be around.
Satan hates God and opposes Christians and the Church. The Son of God has come to destroy the works of the Devil. We are God's children, Christ's disciples, and we are to continue to carry on the works that Christ Jesus has given to us to do. We are to depend on God's Holy Spirit every minute of the way to declare it null and void all the attacks of the enemy.

Liberty and set free.
A young man who was so down and heavy with burden of sin. He could not sleep, and he could not hold it inside any longer because the burden was so great. It hurt him.
After talking and listening to his story, he was open and ready to renounce his sin and to confess all his sin and unrighteousness to God. I helped him read I John 1:9, Psalms 103, 51. Romans 12:1-2.
The Word of God spoke to his heart. He has found Christ's love and forgiveness. He knows he is forgiven. He experiences God's liberty, joy and deliverance after confessing his sins to the Lord God and repenting of his sins and old ways.
He found God's presence once again in his life. After rebuking the sins, he walks away free from the bondage and sins that had bound him in the past. He described seeing a white spirit leaving him and he felt so relieved and light. The burden has been lifted off him.
God is great; He is bigger than our sins. He loves us and forgives us and washes away all our sins.

However, she discovers and reaffirms today that God is still loving her and healing her now. She realizes that there is hope and a future that God promises to his children. She justs wants to have a good life with her family.
Jesus is her Lord and Savior! He is mine too. What about you.

Haunted ghosts and shadows disappeared.
I recently met a young woman who described to me that she has been seeing shadows, ghosts and shadow bunnies. They came out of the cracks in the ceilings to haunt her. She is afraid and greatly distressed that these figures keep bothering her. She does not know what to do!
Suffering from many abuses as a child growing up in a broken family, she never confronts these abusers. They all broke her heart. One got caught; Others denied it ever happened. Some are just gone. No where to be found. What would a hurting child do all these years, holding on to the past? How could she now as an adult deal and cope with all these pains? Only God's grace can heal the wounds of the past. Only His power can break the chains and set her heart free to love and to trust again.
I explained to her that faith and fear cannot co-exist together. When you feed more on one, it will grow; I encouraged her to choose faith, faith in God, faith of God that will help her move the mountains out of the way. She has chosen faith in God. Faith in herself. Faith in the goodness in humanity.
She does not want the shadows any more, the things of the past, the ghosts in her life. She turned over all the pain, the hurt, the abuse, all the M & R. She has forgiven the people who hurt her and cut all ties with them. No more pain. No more oppression from the demons in her past.
After the anointing on her hands and forehead, I prayed over her and took authority over the unclean spirits in her life, bound them in the Name of Jesus of Nazareth and commanded them to leave her, and never to return to haunt or hurt this one. She left on her way soon after the prayer. I checked with her the day after, and no shadows or ghosts had haunted her since.
Only God's power in the Name of Jesus can heal people and set them free. She is glad to be on her way again.
God is good to her and to us all when we call upon His Name. I was soon attacked by the violent spirit after that with a severe cramp and terrible stomach ache. It lasted for several hours for no reason at all. I vomited quite a few times, until late at night, after much perseverance and trust in the Lord to release me from this pain and to set me free from the oppression and attack, it left me alone. I was able to sleep well after all that attack to my physical body.
God's grace is more than able to carry me through.

Headache was gone after 3 prayers of faith
Yesterday, I had a chance to help pray over a woman with a terrible headache. She could not sleep because of the headache that was bothering so much. She feels miserable.
After sitting down and meeting with her over a brief conversation in the hall, I asked her "Do you believe God can heal your headache now?" She said yes. I told her because of your faith in God and in His Word I am going to pray for you. Is that alright? She said yes.
I anointed her hands and forehead with the oil. It was a simple prayer of faith to command the sickness and the pain to leave her body now. On a scale from 1-10, her pain level was 7-8, it went down to 5 she said. I explained it to her that one time Jesus had to pray for the blind man twice and after that he was able to see.
I prayed for her the second time, and it went down to 3-4. I know God is honoring her faith. I led her in a prayer confessing her sins and unrighteousness, declaring her faith in the Lord God alone and that Jesus has power over all sickness and disease. She did that confession.
I prayed for her the third time, and this time her headache was gone. She was so relieved and happy to praise and give thanks to the Lord. She walked away so rejoicing and blessed.
What a blessing to be touched by God and healed in the Name of Jesus.
P.S.: I checked with her the day after, and the headache is gone completely. Praise the Lord for His grace and power over her life. She is thankful to God.

Demons cast out in the Name of Jesus
Have you ever encountered demonic activities in your daily walk? Demons are evil spirits; when they entered a person's mind or body, it manifests itself in different male or female voice that the person who is being oppressed can hear and distinguish the voice. Demonic images can also appear in a person's mind as well.
This evil personality takes residence in a person's life by legal right when a person sins against God, violating God's Word or holy standard. The first one could become a gatekeeper that eventually opens the door for other demons to come in. In the Gospel of Luke 11, Jesus talks about a demon that was cast out went about looking for a place to rest, but found none; it then returns to its own house, seeing that it is clean, and goes out and invites 7 more wicked spirits to enter the same house.
A man once said he had demons in him; they are female and male voices that are in his head telling him to hurt and to kill people, if not, they will attack him. He feels miserable, hopeless. Since 3-4 years of age, his friends told him stories about witches, how people used to hang witches in the past; black cat myth, the devil and the book, the Satanic bible. Confusion, sadness and hurt affect his soul; anxiety fills his life when other people die around him. Feeling scared of death, he does not want to go to hell. He senses that there is a 666 number put on the back of his head. People calls him name that put him down; and the pain in the back of the head on the left side constantly hurting him.
What would you do to help someone like this? Pat him on the back and tell him to go and see a doctor. He did, but nothing changes. Poor you, let me pray for you and then forget about that person or will you pray over him, anoint him and take the authority that Jesus has given you to bind the demons and cast them all out, and expect them to come out.
The man gave his heart to the Lord. The voices stopped. Peace comes into his soul. Together we praised the Lord for saving him and helped set him free. God can use you to help people set free in the Name of Jesus.

How God's love changes us
I was so excited to meet a man who has lost his power and will to live; It seems that out of no where we met for a short while, but his life is turned around by the power of the Gospel. He struggles with a habit that seems hard to break. The same thing is repeated every month; every cycle, it's the same time, the same struggle over sin. How can he break that habit? Why and how did I repeat the same thing every month?
By the power of God and His Word the man is set free. He shared his heart and confessed his sins to the Lord and repented of his sins, God's love came into his heart and restored him. He received God's forgiveness. The man's countenance changes, from depression to hope; from death to life; a smile is evidently seen on his face. God's power is so great and His love conquers this man and brought him back.
So many things were brought back to the man's memory. He confessed to the Lord all happened in the past, the defiant and rebellious spirit was cast out, and he broke the curse over his life. He is free. It was so good to see the power of God's love at work. Sins confessed; forgiveness is experienced; love is felt. Hope is restored.
God will continue to transform and shape us as we open ourselves to Him and the Holy Spirit working power in us.
