In Jesus Precious Name [00:05] Amen [00:05] amen [00:05] CRONUS-KEDAR changes topic to "Spiritual Warfare: the stronghold of Divination and deliverance " [00:06] Tonight we are going to talk about the demonic stronghold of Divination [00:07] And how a deliverance operator must handle it when a captive comes for help. [00:07] This stronghold is one that I like to call [00:07] Satan's Stealth Snare [00:08] This stronghold is very deceptive, for it has been concealed so well. [00:09] In truth it is the first step down the stairway to hell for many [00:09] Stealth is the ability to strike without detection [00:09] due to camouflage or special sight hindering devices [00:10] And divination is so because of a extensive campaign by the media of the world . [00:11] Due to their work many feel that divination is harmless and just for entertainment [00:11] To many it is a acceptable practice which they make decisions from [00:13] So now let us look into this stronghold and see how to recognize it for what it is. [00:13] And how to save and help the captives that are in it. [00:18] Divination is==The attempting to foretell and manipulate one's future, or the future of other's by means of hidden knowledge gained by the use and assessment of indications from various objects or sensory out put.----These are powers to the practitioner that come from demons familiar. [00:19]   The people who Devine are controlled by supernatural spirits which enable them to receive information beyond the human realm at a particular time. In other words Gods prophets received their knowledge from the Holy Spirit and likewise on the other side demons are feeding information to the practitioners of divination. [00:20] For those who get involved in what seems like power [00:21] through this stronghold [00:21] do not realize that they are in truth slapping the face of God. [00:22] For they are trusting in someone or something instead of trusting God for His provisions [00:22] /kjv jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. [00:23] /kjv Proverbs 3:5-6 Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. Proverbs 3:6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. [00:24] Now some of the strongholds in this area of divination are as follows: [00:24] 1. Stargazers--Astrology==Interpreting by the position of heavenly bodies one's destiny. (star chart, horoscopes) 2. Tarot Card==Interpreting one's future by a random series of cards dealt that through symbols show the life's journey of the seeker. 3. Dream Work==Analyzing the dreams of a seeker and through the symbols of the dream show premonitions of things to come. 4. I Ching==Interpreting the acts of nature, animals, and the way objects thrown on a surface after being thrown down to foretell one's future. Palmistry==Reading the lines of a seekers hand to foretell his destiny. 6. Dowsing==Using objects to find things not known. 7. Idols--Consulting objects for guidance like mirror gazing, water gazing, crystal gazing, statues and talisman, for information to find out the future of the looker. 8. Oracles--Seeking the counsel from soothsayers, gurus, fortune tellers, physics, and mediums to manipulate one's future. [00:25] now these practices to the world are innocent and not harmful but the Word of God tells us otherwise. [00:26] kjv Deuteronomy 18:10-12 Deuteronomy 18:10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. Deuteronomy 18:11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. Deuteronomy 18:12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee. [00:26] /kjv Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. [00:27] /kjv Leviticus 20:6 And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people. [00:27] /kjv isaah 47:11-13 Isaiah 47:11 Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know. Isaiah 47:12 Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail. Isaiah 47:13 Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee. [00:28] /kjv isaiah 47:14-15 Isaiah 47:14 Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it. Isaiah 47:15 Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured, even thy merchants, from thy youth: they shall wander every one to his quarter; none shall save thee. [00:28] Now the captives who are ensnared in this stronghold are usually full of confusion, problems, fears, misunderstandings, hatred, bitterness, unbreakable habits, and calamity, because it is the rewards of their sins. They have lost focus on Jesus and have taken the path of Satan where there is only chaos. [00:28] It is for the deliverance opp to sort out these areas in the lives of the captives and then bind the strongman, dispatch the strongman, expel his cohorts, and then fill the released person with the Word of God so as not to be retaken. The deliverance opp introduces Jesus to them and then lets Jesus do the work in the released. While the opp is there to give help and moral support to the released. That means being a friend. [00:29] Now all these things are doorways for the demonic oppression and possession. [00:30] But the world has whitewashed it to where many are doubting the operator has he tries to explain their danger. [00:32] Reading horoscopes, calling physic networks, video games, and party games like Ouija, and mirror-mirror are like matches> [00:33] For once they are struck by the individual it can ignite into a cataclysmic wildfire in their lives destroying everything. [00:33] The video games that deal with the dark subjects with magic and role playing are the dangerous ones [00:34] In the Word we are told that God hates these practices. [00:34] and we must heed these words if we are to have victory. [00:35] amen [00:35] /kjv deut. 18:19-21 Deuteronomy 18:19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. Deuteronomy 18:20 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die. Deuteronomy 18:21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? [00:35] Now it is up to the operator to get these points across to the captive they are helping. [00:36] For the deliverance opp to battle in this stronghold , there are a few things he must remember. [00:36] 1. Tread carefully as he goes through the session. 2. Discern wisely as he goes through the session. 3. Understand throughly what he is up against. 4. Eliminate all areas totally of darkness has he finds them. 5. Close and seal all the doorways as he discovers them. 6. Use the Word of God proficiently to dispel untruths as they appear. 7. Use the blood of Jesus to seal the retaken territory. 8. Use the authority God has given the opp in the name of Jesus. 9. Above all remember the deliverance opps main rule. [00:37] Hate the sin but love the sinner! [00:38] The deliverance opp must take all in stride and above all else show love to the victim he is helping. [00:39] A deliverance op must seek out and destroy the enemy strongholds. [00:39] They must expel the demon overlords and hep the freed captive realize the danger of ever dabbling in such practices again. [00:40] This is the hardest part of the job. [00:40] wow [00:40] for the stronghold of divination has gotten such good press from the world. [00:41] the hidden dangers are not seen by the practitioner before it is to late. [00:42] In a deliverance session we must learn to relate to these areas and be careful for even some of the children of god do not see the danger of this stronghold. [00:43] they even play with it unknowingly. [00:43] even [00:43] They think nothing of reading a horoscope on their date [00:43] Not realizing that they are playing with the devil [00:44] we must be careful and watchful in this stronghold. [00:44] They carry crystals not knowing the meaning behind them. [00:45] This is why I call this the Satan stealth snare. [00:45] and it is deadly. [00:46] /kjv deutronomy 17:2-5 Deuteronomy 17:2 If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which the LORD thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD thy God, in transgressing his covenant, Deuteronomy 17:3 And hath gone and served other gods, and worshiped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded; Deuteronomy 17:4 And it be told thee, and thou hast heard of it, and enquired diligently, and, behold, it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel: Deuteronomy 17:5 Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, even that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die. [00:46] /kjv isaiah 47:11-14 Isaiah 47:11 Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know. Isaiah 47:12 Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail. Isaiah 47:13 Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee. Isaiah 47:14 Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it. [00:47] This is what a deliverance opp must show to the captive and get him to realize his danger if the session is to be a success [00:48] We have to get the captive once freed to see that ----- 1. God only knows the past, present, and future and rest assured that He is only going to do what is good for the person. 2. Have faith and trust in God's leading one's life.====To put trust in divination is a slap in God's face for it is saying; I do not trust you Lord, so I will find my own future and control it with my own decisions. (This is the creation telling the creator [00:49] this is what will take time and patience for the deliverance opp for as he expels the strongmen he must instill the truth into the life of someone who has in all counts been brainwashed by the enemy and can not see the truth. [00:50] But the deliverance opp is in the position to do this for he knows that [00:50] /kjv 1 John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. [00:51] In conclusion the difference between the Biblical approach and the Divination approach to life can be found in its: [00:52] 1. Its source of information(God or Satan) [00:52] 2. Phenomena (Scripture, prophecy, or occult rituals and pagan practices) [00:53] 3. and the outcome (glory to God through trust in His will, or individual confusion in Satan's will) [00:54] So now I would like to end with the following scripture that proclaims the thing that all deliverance operators must have [00:55] and show to the people they will be freeing from the stronghold of divination [00:55] /kjv Colossians 1:9-11 Colossians 1:9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; Colossians 1:10 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; Colossians 1:11 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; [00:56] /kjv Colossians 1:12-14 Colossians 1:12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Colossians 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: Colossians 1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: [00:56] May God bless you all and keep you all
