LIGHT OF THE WORLD MISSIONS 1316 Kaumualii Street, 2nd Floor Honolulu, Hawaii 96817 Phone: (808) 845-4162 FAX: (808) 845-4163 e-mail: FOREWORD Until Jesus comes back, there will never be peace on earth and mankind will never be able to fully solve the problems that beset us today - greed, pride, crime, broken marriages, drug addiction, homosexuality, sicknesses, etc., - until we realize that the root of most of our problems is demonic. As the apostle Paul said in 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. Spirits of hatred, jealousy, greed for money and power, poverty, murder, violence, witchcraft, hopelessness, and anger run rampant and control large areas of the world. Until we begin to war against them and take back the kingdoms for God, Jesus will not come back. The Bible says that He will sit and reign at the right hand of the Father in heaven until all His enemies are made His footstool. I Co. 15:24-26; Ac. 2:34-35; Heb. 10:12, 13. As Watchman Nee said, saving souls is important, but the greatest glory and responsibility of the Church is to defeat the demonic kingdom so Jesus can come back and usher in the millennium age. (Book - Spirit of Revelation and Knowledge) It is for this very reason that SPIRITUAL WARFARE MANUAL was written. We ask that you share this Manual with as many Christians as you can. You may reproduce it as many times as you desire so long as it is not for monetary profit. Begin to war against Satans kingdom and take back spiritual control of your city for God. Then, we will experience the greatest harvest of souls the world has ever seen and Jesus can come back! God bless all of you! Love in Christ,

SATAN'S KINGDOM EXPOSED FOUR STAGES: I. God revealed Satan's kingdom in four stages. II. FIRST STAGE: Old Testament showed just a small part of Satan's kingdom - a SINGLE DEMON here and there. Perhaps mankind was not ready to know about the extent of Satan's kingdom until later, when the saints had the power to cast out devils. A. Gen. 3 (ONE SERPENT). (Most Bible scholars believe that the serpent was Satan himself, who is called the tempter, old dragon, serpent); Job 1 and 2 (SATAN HIMSELF); I Sa. 16:14, 23 (SINGLE TORMENTING SPIRIT from God sent to torment Saul); I Ki. 22:22 (a lying spirit). ALL SINGLE SPIRITS. No indication of hordes or a kingdom of darkness. B. We will find out later that the O. T. is a WAR MANUAL. For instance, JOB 41 talks about leviathan, the king of the children of pride. IS. 47 talks about Jezebel or Babylon the Great. These spirits exist today and those chapters describe them and how to fight them. III. SECOND STAGE. In the New Testament, Jesus immediately EXPOSED the SATANIC KINGDOM. A. Up to that time, God's people were not known to cast out devils. It was time to expose the demonic kingdom. B. JESUS CAST OUT MANY DEMONS to heal people. He immediately revealed that not only were there many spirits, they were the cause of mental and physical illnesses, torments, problems. He taught his disciples that demons are to be cast out. Mt. 4:24 (healed those possessed of devils); 8:16 (many possessed with devils); 8:28 (Gadarean man); 9:33 (dumb spirit); 12:22 (blind and dumb); 15:22 (daughter with a devil); Lk. 4:33-36 (man in synagogue with unclean spirit); 6:18 (unclean spirits); 7:21 (cured many of evil spirits); 8:2 (certain women, including Mary Magdalene); 10:17-20 (70 disciples); 11:14 (dumb spirit); Mk. 1:23 (man with unclean spirit); 3:11 (healed many of unclean spirits); 5:13 (Gadarean man); 7:26 (out of daughter of Greek woman). Etc. Satan is real. Not just a story, or to help us conceptualize good and evil. He is a person. C. Casting out devils was ONE-THIRD OF JESUS' MINISTRY. D. Jesus showed that the REAL ENEMY of mankind is Satan and his evil servants. I Jn. 3:8. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. E. JESUS TAUGHT his disciples and us how to defeat Satan's demons. First the 12 and then the 70. Mt. 10:1 (the 12); 10:8; Mk. 6:7; Lk. 10:17 (the 70). It wasn't for just his disciples. It

was for all saints. Mk. 16:17. F. Jesus made it clear that ALL BELIEVERS should cast out devils. Lk. 10:19 (I give you all power.... exousia. Exousia means the power of the potentate or ruler; while dunamis refers to ordinary spirit power.); Mk. 16:17 (all them that believe). It is a sign of your belief in Jesus. Nothing in the Bible says that it does not exist anymore, only our traditions deny our power. G. Jesus not only instructed his disciples on how to cast out devils, he defeated Satan and his PRINCIPALITIES on the cross. The victory has been assured. Col. 2:15 (...having spoiled principalities....); Rev. 1:18 (...have the keys of hell and of death....). D. Jesus gave his disciples and us THE POWER to cast out devils and to EVENTUALLY DEFEAT THE SATANIC KINGDOM. Mt. 16:19; 18:18 (whatsoever you bind on earth....); Mt. 12:29 (...how can one enter in to a strongman's house, and spoil his goods....) E. All Christians are CALLED to cast out devils. Mk. 16:17. It is our responsibility and duty. CHARACTERISTICS OF DEMONS F. Out of the Gadarean episode (Mk. 5), we learn that: 1. Evil spirits will cause a person to live in grotesque and evil places tombs, cemeteries, slums and alleyways. 2. They are UNCLEAN, FOUL. Some smell terrible. 3. They love to have humans torture and HURT THEMSELVES. 4. Multitudes, LEGIONS can inhabit one person. 5. Devil are INTELLIGENT, can communicate, reason, can cause illnesses, both mental and physical, CAN GIVE EXTRAORDINARY STRENGTH. 6. They have NAMES. 7. Desire to be in any FLESH. Better then no flesh. 8. They are afraid of being sent out of the COUNTRY (principality) because they will be torn by other demons in areas that they were not assigned to by Satan. Must pride and jealousy among demons. 9. They KNOW THE WORD OF GOD; they knew Jesus was the Son of God and called him the son of the most high God, even before Jesus disciples knew. 10. They are SUBJECT TO JESUS.

11. They COULD NOT STOP a human from running to Jesus. When he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshiped him. Even a possessed person can reason. Another interpretation is that the demons in the man wanted to pretend that they worshipped Jesus so that He would leave them alone. 12. Demons CAN SEE CHRIST IN THE SPIRIT REALM. 13. Argued with Jesus even after Jesus commanded them to come out. Will stall for time, try to outtalk and deceive. IV. THIRD STAGE. The APOSTLES continued the battle. They exposed the satanic kingdom even more. They showed that Satan's kingdom is very well organized. A. For we wrestle not.... EPH. 6:12. His kingdom is organized into PRINCIPALITIES, POWERS, MIGHTS AND DOMINIONS. Also, Col. 1:16. B. The Apostles continued to cast out devils. Ac. 19:13 (sons of Sceva); 5:16 (healed every one); 8:7 (Philip). C. Historical records show that the ANABAPTISTS in the mountains continued to cast out devils in the year 275 A.D. Iraeneus Apology to the Roman Senate. V. FOURTH STAGE. Fifty years after Jesus ascended, John wrote the Book of Revelation. It is the revelation of Jesus Christ. We are living in the Book of Revelation right now. The Book of Revelation reveals SATAN'S ULTIMATE OBJECTIVE. He intends to kill all Christians, destroy all churches (abomination of desolation) and rule the entire world. Rev. 13:7; 12:9; 17, 18. A. The end times will bring about the greatest battle between God's people and Satan's demonic army. It is inevitable because the Bible says so. B. It will separate the sheep from the goats. Satan's beast will rule the earth for a short time. C. But God is RAISING UP HIS ARMY to defeat Satan and his evil demons. The saints will prevail in the end. Da. 7:14; 7:27; 12:1. D. Mt. 13:24-43. Parable about the WHEAT AND THE TARES. Verse 30 says that the tares and wheat will grow into maturity together. As evil is growing in the world, so are God's people. E. Gods end time army will sweep the earth, ENGAGE THE FORCES OF EVIL AND DEFEAT THEM. Joel 2; Is. 13; Rev. 12; 19; Jer. 50; Jer. 51; Zep. 31:3; Is. 37:32. F. Satan will be defeated. Rev. 19, 20. But he will destroy many saints before then. 2 Th. 2:3; Rev. 13:15.

OUR RESPONSIBILITY VI. It is the DUTY AND RESPONSIBILITY of the saints of God to overthrow the Satanic kingdom and restore the kingdom of God on earth. A. Jesus is sitting at the right hand of the Father and will reign there until all of His enemies are put under His feet. We are the feet of Him. I Co. 15:24-26; Ac. 34-35; Mt. 22:44; Mk. 12:36; Lk. 20:42; Ac. 2:34; Heb. 10:12-13. B. When Jesus returns to earth, He will return in victory with His armies. Rev. 19:14. One will be an army of angels; the other will be men and women redeemed from the earth and made virgins unto God. Rev. 14:1-5. VII. WATCHMAN NEE. The highest duty of the church of Christ is to defeat the Satanic kingdom so Jesus can come back and usher in the millennium age. Book - Spirit of Revelation and Knowledge. A. Evangelism is necessary and good, but spiritual warfare is essential to the RETURN OF JESUS. B. Any time we do something like healing, winning souls, we are STRIKING OUT at the Satanic kingdom. VIII. God is using DIVINE HEALING AND DELIVERANCE to set many heathen free and to bring many to Jesus in these end times. Satan knows that his time is short. Spiritual warfare is being used all over the world to bring about revival. A. C. PETER WAGNER. Warfare Prayers. Says that notwithstanding Reinhardt Bonnke and Billy Graham, Carlos ANACONDIA of Argentina may well prove to be the most effective evangelist of all time. He holds crusades by casting out devils. CINDY JACOBS and her Generals of Intercession go from city to city to bind up the strongman and bring deliverance to cities and nations. B. The Church needs to conduct spiritual warfare against Satans kingdom in order to bring about revival/harvest.

TYPES AND CLASSES OF DEMONS TWO MAJOR GROUPS OF DEMONS: I. There are two major groups: EARTHBOUND devils and STRONGMEN that rule from the mid-heavens. II. EARTHBOUND SPIRITS. Earthbound demons roam around and ENTER into humans if they have a right to do so. There are MULTITUDES. Cannot fly, but can run around very rapidly. They range from a FEW INCHES TALL TO 8 FEET in height. They often SMELL BAD (foul) and love to wear STRIPPED CLOTHING and crazy hats. Some appear as dark shadows, some human-like, some animal-like, some half man, half animal (half-goat, half-man, etc.). Many sizes and shapes. A. LEGENDS AND MYTHS of ancient civilizations are often no more than demons counterfeiting gods and goddesses. They love to be worshiped. The Chinese dragon is none other than Satan. Shinto - snake. Greek, Egyptian - Faun, Pan, Seth, etc. III. IN THE MID-HEAVENS. The second group rule from the mid-heavens. They are the RULERS or PRINCES and are more powerful. They can fly, but choose to stay in the midheavens. Eph. 6:12. Often referred to as STRONGMEN, to the spirits on earth under their command, and they love to give orders. They are attached to earth bound spirits through cords that give power. A. Earthbound spirits fear and hate the ruler spirits, but will obey. The larger demons are STRONGER than the smaller ones, and rule with an iron hand. B. Satan's kingdom is ruled through PRIDE AND FEAR, much like the heathen world. But, all demons are united in their hatred for mankind and especially the saints of God. IV. Our angels are bigger and more powerful. V. DISEMBODIED SPIRITS. The third class of spirits are not demons, but are also found on the earth. Called disembodied spirits. They are NOT REALLY DEMONS, but many are just as evil and some are just pathetic and tormented. The problem is, they cause problems for humans, haunt places and try to inhabit the bodies of humans. Every PRIMITIVE SOCIETY knows about ghosts. A. Their presence sometimes causes illness and weakness because the human body cannot take it. B. They cause strange feelings and thoughts in persons they inhabit. C. Some are not evil, such as babies that have been aborted, but they cause physical and emotional problems nevertheless. They are unable to leave earth immediately because of circumstances or the machinations of the Spirit of Hades. More later.

VI. PRINCIPALITIES, POWERS, MIGHTS AND DOMINIONS. Satan's kingdom is divided into major divisions called principalities, over which a strongman rules. The strongman is also called RULER OR PRINCE. Eph. 6:12; Col. 2:15. VII. RULING SPIRITS. Satan places a ruler spirit over every MAJOR AREA, city, town, village, neighborhood, church, family, and person. He has a plan for each one of us, to bring us down. A. Some boundaries are very clear. PARAGUAY STORY. Where a woman refused to accept a Christian track on one side of the street and readily took it on the other side. On the second side, there was a church that bound up the spirit that ruled over that area. B. Demons from one area are hated by demons in another area. They will not CROSS LINES. They will punish demons who trespass. They begged Jesus not to send them out of the country. Mk. 5:10. C. Satan's kingdom is ruled by hate, fear, power, pride, control, jealousy. There is no love in Satan's kingdom. But they are UNITED in their hatred for mankind. VIII. NEST OF SPIRITS. Ruling spirits never stand by themselves. They always have multitudes of lesser spirits doing their every bidding. They LOVE TO RULE and give orders. A. Satan's organizational chart looks like a series of PYRAMIDS that overlap at their bases. The ruling spirits are at the top. At the bottom, they overlap with other spirits. B. For instance, JEZEBEL is also known for her murder, death, pride, etc. C. It is important to know because you cannot cast out just one spirit. You need to cast out the ENTIRE NEST. Demons always work in packs and groups. For instance, sex spirits involve all manner of sexual uncleanness, including fornication, adultery, masturbation, incest, pornography, rape, bestiality, homosexuality, lesbianism, sexual fantasy, lust, etc.

OUR AUTHORITY THE POWER OF THE RULER I. We have all power. Lk. 10:19. EXOUSIA VS. DUNAMIS. The first reference to power is actually the Greek word "exousia", which means "absolute power, the power of the potentate, supreme ruler or king"; the second reference is to ordinary spirit power. Our exousia power is infinitely stronger than the dunamis power of evil spirits. A. We sit in HEAVENLY PLACES together with Jesus. Eph. 2:6. Far above principalities, powers, mights and dominions and above every name that is named, not only in this world, but in the worlds to come. Eph. 1:21. When our words are anointed by the Holy Spirit, they have the power of the king behind them - the power of God. THE VICTORY'S ALREADY WON II. JESUS SPOILED PRINCIPALITIES. Col. 2:15. Victory is assured. He took away their teeth and their weapons. A. Now, all Satan can do is try to DECEIVE. First, that he doesn't exist, or that paying attention to him glorifies Satan, or that he is no problem at all, or that he cannot be defeated, or that Christians cannot have demons. B. If unresisted, Satan has his way. He is the PRINCE OF THIS WORLD (Jn. 12:31; 14:30) because many Christians won't fight back out of ignorance, fear or deception. God's will is not being done on earth. That's why we cannot blame God for babies dying, innocent people hurt, etc. It is our sins that bring curses on us. III. Jesus took away the KEYS to Hell and Death. Rev. 1:18. A. The GATES OF HELL shall not prevail against the church. Mt. 16:18; Is. 45:1,2. God promises to tear down the gates of Babylon. Is. 45:2. Babylon rules today. It is Satan's spiritual system. B. Christians need to knock the gates of hell down, WALK IN and set the captives free. We will talk about gates later. IV. Jesus has a NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES. Sits far above all principality, might and dominion. Phil. 2:9-11; Eph. 1:21. We sit together with Christ. Eph. 2:6. POWER TO BIND AND LOOSE V. We have the power to BIND AND LOOSE. Mt. 18:18; 16:19. A. We ALL have that privilege. Ps. 149:8.

B. Cannot spoil a strongman's house unless you BIND HIM FIRST. Mk. 3:27; Mt. 12:29. C. It is ORDAINED. Is. 24:21. "And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth." D. Loose means to SHATTER, BREAK IN PIECES. Satan places bands and chains about the minds and bodies of humans. Mind control. Witchcraft. Eze. 13. Steals the souls of men and women. VI. Mk. 16:17 These SIGNS shall follow.... they shall cast out devils, etc. If you are a believer, you shall cast out devils. SATAN WILL FALL VII. Satan will fall like LIGHTNING. Lk. 10:18; Rev. 12:9. His time is soon, and he knows it. It was a prophecy through vision. It is yet to come. A. Lk. 10:18 was a vision that Jesus had for the future when Gods people will bind up and destroy Satans rule from the mid-heavens. B. Satans strongmen rule from the mid-heavens. Thats why he is called the prince of the power of the air he rules from the atmosphere around the earth. VIII. We are His WEAPONS OF WARFARE. Jer. 51:20-24. A. Rev. 19:14-21 - the FINAL BATTLE. B. The Army of God includes you.

10

BINDING AND LOOSING PRINCIPALITIES I. Earlier, we mentioned how Satan divides the earth into areas of control and appoints a powerful spirit to rule over that area. A. These ruler spirits or strongmen sit on thrones in the mid heavens and rule over the spirits on earth. II. There are THREE BASIC AREAS OF CONTROL: (1) over large geographic areas (principalities); (2) over persons, churches, families, neighborhoods, etc. (3) over nests of demons within the person. III. IMPORTANT SPIRITUAL PRINCIPLE. You can't cast out until you first BIND UP THE STRONGMAN. Mk 3:27; Mt. 12:29. Then you can spoil his house. CUTTING CORDS A. Next, you CUT OFF HIS CORDS. There are cords between the strongman in the heavenlies and those on earth. It gives the earth spirits power. Ps. 2:3; 129:4. IV. Already talked about the scriptures that give us the power to bind and loose. Mt. 18:18; 16:9; Mk. 3:27. It is a KEY TO THE KINGDOM. A. God promises to defeat the rulers for us. Is. 24:21. "And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth." OUR PRIVILEGE B. Ps. 149:8-9. ...to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with fetters of iron. NESTS V. The strongman uses many lesser demons - a NEST. The nest in a person also has a ruler spirit, on earth. You need to bind him up also. A. This ruler spirit is sometimes the gate keeper, but not always. GATEKEEPER B. The GATEKEEPER is often the initial spirit that was allowed to come in (such as rejection). Usually because of trauma or sin. C. If you don't bind up the gatekeeper, and cast him out, he will just open the gates again

11

later and let all the devils back in. The gatekeeper, in a way, is connected with the ORIGINAL SIN, curse, trauma, unforgiveness, etc. Need to handle the root, not just cut off the branches and leaves. 1. The gatekeeper is the spirit that came into the person in the first place. Often, you need to find out how the person was INFESTED IN THE FIRST PLACE. Sometimes it is hidden. IDENTIFYING THE STRONGMAN VI. Although sometimes not totally necessary, it helps to IDENTIFY THE STRONGMAN. In the mid-heavens, over the person, and in the person. A. Through DISCERNMENT, WORD OF KNOWLEDGE, Holy Spirit. B. By the FRUITS of the tree. Mt. 7:16. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. What is the pattern of behavior or events in the person's life? VII. Evil spirits WORK IN NESTS to accomplish their task. Examples - Schizophrenia, sexual lust. A. Bind up strongman. Put CHAINS FROM HEAVEN around him. CUT OFF HIS CORDS. As with anything else in the spirit, it works by faith. B. Kick out the nest SYSTEMATICALLY. This is especially true with Jezebel. She will allow many other spirits to manifest and get kicked out first. You will be busy fighting other spirits and will forget about her while she flees to the inner parts. 1. May have to keep after her for several sessions before you can reach her. 2. Sometimes, you can get to her right away. 3. She goes with a CHARACTERISTIC WAIL. It is the wail of witchcraft. TAKING CITIES VIII. Binding the strongman in the mid-heavens is a primary weapon in TAKING CITIES and nations for God. A. INTERCESSORS will play a large role. Example - Cindy Jacobs Generals of Intercession. We all have the duty to intercede and war against the demonic. B. God is using deliverance and supernatural healing to convince many people of other religions. It will be the subject of later lessons.

12

GATES ANCIENT CITIES I. Historically, FORTIFIED TOWNS were protected by high walls and strong gates. JERICHO, for instance. BABYLON also. II Chr. 8:5; 14:7. A. Babylon had TWO THICK WALLS and TWO IMPENETRABLE GATES. Held chariot races on the top, between two rows of houses. Considered impregnable. B. God dried up the RIVERS and TORE THE GATES down. Jer. 50:38; 51:36; Is. 45:1, 2. Cyrus of Persia's armies marched in unopposed. II. The battle was fought and won or lost at the gates. A. A walled city was CONTROLLED AT THE GATES. The city elders took turns watching at the gates for spies, enemies and suspicious people. Trade took place at the gates. It was the most crowded place. Beggars congregated there also. Whoever controlled the gates controlled the city. B. Often, the TOWN MEETING HALL was just above the city gates. C. Sometimes, the gates were protected by MOATS. D. Above the gates were parapets from which hot, burning OIL could be poured down on enemy invaders. E. The army attacking the gates would use BATTERING RAMS. God has called us to be battering rams and WEAPONS OF WAR. Jer. 51:20. III. JERUSALEM had high walls and gates. Fish gate, sheep gate, water gate, etc. A. The LAND has gates. Na. 3:13. ...gates of thy land. IV. HEAVEN has twelve gates. Rev. 21:12, 13. There are gates of righteousness. Doors into heavenly realms. Zec. 8:16; Ps. 118:19. V. HELL HAS GATES. The gates of hell shall not prevail against the church. It is literal. THE KEYS VI. Jesus took away the KEYS TO HELL AND DEATH. Rev. 1:18. Death has gates. Job 38:17. (gates of death and the shadow of the door of death) A. JESUS GAVE US THE KEYS. We can unlock the gates of hell and death any time. Imagine the helplessness of Satan when we have the keys to hell and death. He cannot stop us

13

from entering and leaving. He has no defense. VII. He who has the KEYS OF DAVID. What door he opens none shall close; what door he closes, none shall open. Rev. 3:17. Is. 22:22. God opens and shuts doors of opportunity. Satan has no power to stop him. God opens doors. Rev. 3:8. Philadelphia. "I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it...." A. God will provide the same opening of the gates to the spiritual. Ps. 107:16. VIII. Pray that God opens doors to you and shuts doors that belong to the enemy. Rev. 3:8; Rev. 3:7. IX. There are gates to the soul and body. DURING DELIVERANCE, you need to take away Satan's ability to control the doors or gates to one's soul and body. The doors are created by sin and curses. A. Humility, repentance and confession is needed. If not present, deliverance is difficult. X. In deliverance, TEAR DOWN THE WALLS. Jos. 6:5. Break down the gates, BIND UP THE GATEKEEPER. Eze. 21:15 (point of sword against the gates), 22 (ram). A. In VISION, one saint saw a demon sitting on top of a gate with an arrogant look. The gates came tumbling down and he fell with a shocked look. B. After the devils leave, close the doors forever and heal the wounds. C. Sin can reopen the doors. STRENGTHEN THE BARS of your gates through righteousness and a right heart. Ps. 147:13.

14

WATERS OF THE ENEMY LIFE VS. DEATH I. TWO WATERS SIDE BY SIDE. One of God that leads to life. The one of Satan leads to death. Waters of life and waters of death. II. Jn. 4:14. Jesus talked about LIVING WATERS to the SAMARITAN woman. Jn. 7:38. He who believes; out of his belly shall flow waters of living waters. Rev. 21:6. ... fountain of the water of life.... III. Satan COUNTERFEITS with waters of death. A. RIVER JORDAN is symbolic of death. Joshua and the nation of Israel crossed over on dry land - keeping their eyes on the ark of the testimony. 1. The elect of God shall pass over Jordan once more in the end times, keeping their eyes on Jesus, the ark of testimony. DEATH SHALL BE DESTROYED. I Co. 15:25-26. B. RIVER STYX, CHARON. Greek and Chinese myths claim that there is a river over which a persons spirit must cross when he dies. Otherwise, he is stuck to wander the earth. There is a boatman named Charon who carries the dead over the river on a boat. Chinese put a gold coin in a dead persons mouth on burial, so he or she can pay the boatman. IV. The RED SEA represented death to Moses and the Hebrew people. It was the end of the road. Death is the end for most humans. But God parted the Red Sea. We'll talk about the spirit of death later. A. BABYLON AND EGYPT are synonymous. Come out of her my people.... Rev. 18:4. She represents death. B. You have to COME OUT OF EGYPT and Egypt has to come out of you before you can find life. V. ELIJAH AND ELISHA. Elijah smote the River Jordan with his mantle and the waters parted. II Ki. 2:8. Elijah never died. He was taken up to heaven immediately after that. A. God's elect will do the same one day. VI. ELISHA healed the waters of death. II Ki. 2:19-21. VII. The WAGES OF SIN is death. Ro. 6:23. VIII. The demonic kingdom moves within a SPIRITUAL MEDIUM described as waters - evil waters. Like fish swim and birds fly in a certain atmosphere. Fish cannot swim out of water and

15

birds cannot fly outside of the air. Demons cannot move without evil waters or atmosphere. A. Babylon was located on the EUPHRATES RIVER. She is known as an island. B. God says that He will DRY UP her waters. Jer. 50:38; 51:36. BABYLONS WATERS IX. ANCIENT BABYLON. Still alive in the spirit. Rev. 11, 17, 18. We know many things about her because her historical characteristics are the same in the spirit. A. God shows how to defeat her. Is. 23:1-14. CHITTIM. Babylon - waters. Babylon draws strength from evil waters. B. Jer. 50:38; 51:36. God will cause a DROUGHT. C. She sits on many waters. The sins of multitudes of her followers. Rev. 3:9; 17:14. D. She is so powerful, she CALLS HERSELF GOD. Is. 47:8, the virgin daughter of Babylon. Is. 47:1. Also - daughter of Tarshish (Is. 23:10). X. Egypt is synonymous with Babylon. Jer. 46:11. One and the same. A. Rev. 11:8. SODOM AND EGYPT. That's the same place we are living in today. B. Is. 19:5-6. The demise of Egypt. Waters fail. XI. SIN is their power. Waters often described as people, multitudes and nations, and tongues. Rev. 17:15. XII. Many ruling spirits are depicted as WATER BEASTS. Leviathan, mind control (giant squid), death, Jezebel. XIII. DRY PLACES. The waters of death give strength to devils. Sin fuels the enemy. When a demon is cast out, he goes to the dry places. Mt. 12:43. Evil waters give rest and strength to demons. XIV. God promises to dry up the rivers of the enemy. Is. 44:27; 42:15. XV. Jesus dried up the FIG TREE. Mt. 21:19. It died. XVI. Dry up the waters - quote Jer. 50, 51. XVII. In deliverance, the throats of the demons go dry. It is torment.

16

SATAN'S LEGAL RIGHTS MUST HAVE LEGAL RIGHTS I. Satan can only torment or invade if he has a legal right given by God. II. There are EIGHT MAJOR AREAS of rights: Ancestral curses, unforgiveness, occult involvement, cultural and religious practices, hexes and vexes, soul ties, sexual sins, disembodied spirits. ANCESTRAL OR GENERATIONAL CURSES I. Ex. 34:6,7; De. 5:9; Nu. 14:18. ANCESTRAL CURSES of iniquity. Cursed for 3-4 generations. Occult will go back as far as 20 generations according to some deliverance workers. A. The generations will tend to commit the same sin and receive the same curses down through the generations. Divorce, murder, robbery, misfortune, mishaps, poverty, physical problems, mental problems. People think it is genes. It is demonic. Healing the Family Tree, by Dr. Gordon McAll. II. ILLEGITIMACY. De. 23:2. Ten generations. Cannot enter into Gods congregation. Need to break the curse first, before some people can receive the Gospel. III. Many other curses pronounced by God. De. 28.

The closer to God, the more clothes on; the farther away from God, the less clothes. When Aaron served God as head priest of Israel, there were rules even for how he climbed the steps, so people couldn't see up his robe. Sexual impurity opens the gates for all kinds of sexual demons to enter. People may be enjoying their sexual pursuits, but they will pay the price sooner or later. A.

GOES AFTER THE PROPHET AND LEADERS. She can seduce through praising. Aim is to take over. Very subtle. Occasionally, she will succeed in seducing the pastor or leader or to marry him. The ministry will fall. She killed off all of God's prophets except a few. If the leader resists her attempts to get closer, she will gossip, criticize, etc. Will sometimes go after the leaders wife in order to discredit her and create division. B. Don't confuse with the many women who are excellent leaders. The difference is Jezebel is SELF-GLORIFYING. Don't go around accusing every woman leader of being a Jezebel. Some are just talented and intelligent women. The test is humility and submission at home and in the church. X. In family, it is OPPOSITE FROM GOD'S ORDER. Women to submit, men to love. Eph. 5:22. Jezebel wives bring curses on family. A. Signs of a JEZEBEL MOTHER: confusion in the children, homosexuality, abortion, miscarriage, use of drugs, sexual promiscuity, rejection, emotional problems, interest in the occult, female disorders, use of sex to control, divorce in the children, schizophrenia. XI. Eze. 8, 9. A chilling prophesy of God's own temple in the end times - the worship of Tammuz and Babylon, and the destruction of God's own people. A SIGN ON THE FOREHEAD. A. Rev. 7:3. Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. Also, Rev. 9:4. B. In the end times, Satans beast will have his mark, but so will God. XII. Is. 3:12. Children are their oppressors and women their leaders. Look at most churches today.

36

A. In Is. 3:4, God says that babes shall rule over His people. Many of Gods leaders are spiritually immature. XIII. Eph. 5:25. That's why God wants women to be submissive and men to love. Submission and love are opposite sides of the same coin. Love and humility are Gods own nature. A. ADAM AND EVE. Adam was the forerunner of Ahab and Eve was the forerunner of Jezebel. Adam was irresponsible, liar, passed the buck. Eve was a usurper, liar and controller. Both wanted to be gods. B. II Th. 2:3, 4. MAN OF SIN, son of perdition. C. You can't be in the image of Jesus, God, unless love and submission are in your heart. XIV. Jezebel and Ahab are difficult to get out. Full repentance required. She will live in the deepest recesses, throws out many lesser spirits first. Comes out with characteristic wail. Takes more than one time to kick out sometimes.

37

MURDER AND VIOLENCE I. Mt. 24:7. Jesus said there would be WARS and rumors of war. Every year, we average 50 to 60 wars. When it gets down to the 20's, it represents relative peace. A. Pol Pot, Bosnia, Germany. Will never change. People try to change the hearts of men and to find solutions. They don't realize it is a spirit. Somalia, Russia, Yugoslavia, Africa, Middle East.

You always need to cast out death, murder and violence in cases of abortion. Violent death in the family line sometimes. VII. SPOUSE ABUSE. Wife beating. Child abuse. VIII. Part of SATAN'S NATURE. Jn. 8:44. ".. murderer from the beginning." Wherever Satan is in control, there is murder and violence. IX. Rev. 12:17. "And the dragon was wroth...." A. Same when Jesus was born. M t. 2:16.

48

THE HOLY SPIRIT The CHARISMATIC MOVEMENT has isolated the H.S. and placed him in a box - a gift box. They seek the gifts, but not the fellowship. They seek the trappings of the H.S., the proofs, but not the guidance. There is power but little love. WHO IS THE H.S. AND WHAT IS HIS MINISTRY? BENNY HINN AND KATHERINE KUHLMAN I. Met KATHERINE KUHLMAN. "Please don't grieve the H.S.. Don't you understand, He's all I've got. Please, Don't wound him, don't wound the one I love. He's more real than anything in this world." A.

E. Benny Hinn has come to know the H.S. HE HAS BECOME LIKE SMITH WIGGLESWORTH, T. L. OSBORN. F. I believe that there are many others who will come to know the H.S. intimately and will become the mature sons of God. THAT WE MIGHT KNOW GOD II. As he prayed to know the H.S., the H.S. gave him these words: "We have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. I Co. 2:12. A. Also, "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the H.S. be with you all." 2 Co. 13:14. B. The BIBLE CAME ALIVE. The H.S. became his teacher, comforter, guide. He could hardly stand to put the Bible down. C. Benny began to DESIRE PRAYER AND COMPANIONSHIP alone with the H.S. III. When Jesus left, he did not leave us without any leader or guide. He left us the H.S. How

49

great a gift the H.S. is, is something we have not begun to realize. Jn. 14-16. TO CONVICT IV. The H.S. SAME TO CONVICT.

Won't you give me five more minutes? VI. Do you know him? His likes, dislikes, what angers him, what makes Him happy? VII. THE FATHER AND THE SON ARE BOTH IN HEAVEN. When one is taken into vision to the throne of God, they may see the Father and the Son, but not the H.S. Why? A. THE H. S. IS ON EARTH. He is going to leave one day, but while he is here, he is going to fellowship with the saints, give them power and guide them and protect them. B. THE BIBLE WAS WRITTEN BY THE H.S., using men and women of God. A PERSON VIII. THE H. S. IS A PERSON. He can feel, perceive and respond. he gets hurt, he has the ability to love, and to hate. he speaks and he has His own will. IX. But who is he? The Holy Spirit is the SPIRIT of God the FATHER and the Spirit of God the SON. He is the BREATH OF GOD. It is with the H.S. that Adam was created. A. He is the POWER OF THE GODHEAD, the power of the trinity. 1. He is the power of CREATION.

50

2. He is the one who BRINGS LIFE. Ro. 8:11. 3. He is the one who will make the Sons of God. B. Like ELECTRICITY. C. He is the first of the trinity to be mentioned in the Bible. Gen. 1:2. D.

He helps you PRAY. Ro. 8:26,27. G. He TEACHES you. H. He sometimes comes like the WIND. I. He brings PEACE AND JOY to you. INTIMACY X.

51

I. He was the force in the life of PAUL, PETER, WIGGLESWORTH, KUHLMAN, WOODWORTH ETTER, OSBORN. J. Lk. 4:18. "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me...." XII. Before Jesus left, everything was Master, Jesus. After Jesus left, everything was the Spirit. The Holy Spirit and us. The apostles looked to the H.S. to lead them. CORNELIUS, PAUL, SILAS. A. ETHIOPIAN EUNUCH. B. The Spirit GUIDED THE APOSTLES. Ac 16:6-7. v. 9. Come over to Macedonia and help us. HIS GENTLENESS XIII. He is so important to us, that the Bible says over and over, DO NOT GRIEVE THE H.S. It does not say, do not grieve the Father, or Jesus. A. He is so gentle and loving and important to us, that even Jesus say that all manner of sin can be forgiven, even blasphemy against the Father and the Son, but blasphemy of the H.S. cannot be forgiven. He is everything that fulfills the promises of God to you and me. He deserves all the reverence and respect and awe we can give. 1. Is. 63:10. "But they rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit: so He turned Himself against them as an enemy." 2. ANANIAS AND SAPPHIRA lied to the H.S. Ac. 5:7-10. B. He never enters except by invitation. C. Above all, he is a person. GLORIFIES FATHER AND SON XIV. The H.S. in you will always glorify Jesus and the Father. No one can call Jesus Lord but by the Holy Spirit. A. As you get closer to the H.S., you will also get closer to the Father and the Son. In fact, you can't get to know the Father and the Son without the H.S. SPEAKS CONSTANTLY XV. The H.S. speaks all the time. You hear him, but you don't recognize his voice.

52

A. Voice of conscience, of conviction. B. Paul - I tell the truth in Christ. I am not lying, my conscience also bearing me witness in the H.S. Ro. 9:1. C. You know that you know that you know. 1. The voice of the Father speaking to the O.T. prophets, was the voice of the H.S. Acts. 28:25-27 XVI. THE H.S. IS GOD. The name Jehovah is the name of a triune God. The name of the Father is Jehovah, the name of the Son is Jehovah and the name of the H.S. is Jehovah. A. Mt. 10:19-20. The Spirit will TELL YOU WHAT TO SAY. Rev. 2:7,11,17. The Spirit speaks to the churches and guides them. B. Jesus spoke through the H.S. Acts. 1:2. C. Christ offered Himself to God "through the eternal Spirit." Heb. 9:14. We, likewise, come to the Father and the Son only through the H.S. You can't get into the throne room but through the H.S. D. The H.S. is the one who communicates heaven to your heart. XVII. You could not stand hearing the VOICE OF THE FATHER OR THE SON. It THUNDERS. Rev. 1:15, 17. John fell down as if dead. A. The H.S. takes the voice of the Father and the Son and makes it gentle and soft, lovely, clear and quiet. HE IS GOD B. As much as the Son is the equal of the Father, so is the H.G. EQUAL IN MAJESTY, POWER, GLORY and ETERNITY He is God. C. HE DESERVES WORSHIP. He is the spirit of Jesus. XVIII. The triune is three - God is like the SUN in the sky. Three distinct elements - the visible sun, light, heat. The Father looks like the Son. But you not only see the sun, you feel the heat and see the light. Jesus is the light of the world. The Spirit is the heat. A. When a church is bound up and has no LIBERTY, it is because the H.S. is not present. 2 Co. 3:17. "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty." The Spirit is the Lord. B. We know that Jesus lives because the Spirit lives. The Spirit is the might of the

53

Godhead. C. The H.S. is the one who PROTECTS YOU AGAINST SATAN. FOLLOW HIM XIX. The H.S. is the one who took Jesus' place when Jesus left. "Follow me" became "FOLLOW THE H.S." He will guide you. Jn. 16:13. If Jesus were here, would you follow Him? XX. It is basic to life itself that you follow the H.S. Ro. 8:14. Our flesh fights against the Spirit. A. The flesh leads to death, the SPIRIT TO LIFE. If you are interested in things of the flesh, you will not seek the Spirit. if you desire the things of the spirit, you will be drawn to the H.S. B. Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the LUST OF THE FLESH. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Ga. 5:16-18. C. 2 Co. 3:6. ...the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. D. The H.S. is the WITNESS that allows you to know that you know that Christ lives, that you are saved, that the Word of God is true. Ro. 8:16. The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit. E. Acts 5:32. We are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the H.S. whom God has given to those who obey Him. HE IS IN YOU XXI. The H. S. is for today. 2 Co. 13:14. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the H.S. be with you all. Amen. XXII. The word "communion" has 7 MEANINGS: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Presence. Fellowship. Sharing together - pouring your heart out, joy. Participation with. The Sp and us. Intimacy. Ro. 5:5. You can't love God without the H.S. Friendship. Closest friend. Comradeship. Togetherness.

A. It is the presence of the H.S., the anointing that opens up heaven for you.

54

B. It is not deliverance or knowledge of healing or miracles that indicates your maturity in God, it is your relationship with the Holy Spirit. Your closeness with Him will open up heaven for you. Deliverance is necessary for these end times, but it is the H.S. that brings deliverance. Without a relationship with the H.S., there is no real deliverance.

55

THE BLOOD OF JESUS THE BLOOD IS PRECIOUS I. Blood is PRECIOUS to God. From the very beginning, the Father knew that one day, His Son, Jesus Christ, would shed His blood for all of mankind. Therefore, the blood was on the Father's mind from the beginning also. Later, we will find how important the blood is to all Christians. That's why God did such strange things in the Bible about blood. A. The Bible is called a BLOODY BOOK and a book of blood. To many humans, the mention and thought of blood is disgusting and to be avoided. To God and to all Christians, blood is precious. II. Gen. 3:21. God made SKINS to cover Adam and Eve. Some innocent animal had to die and give its skin. A. The word "ATONE" means to cover. Blood would cover sins one day. It doesn't mean that Adam and Eve were forgiven. They never repented, so how could they have been forgiven? It was a symbol. III. Gen. 4. CAIN AND ABEL. Abel tended sheep; Cain harvested vegetables. Holy Spirit gave Abel inspiration to sacrifice a lamb to God. Cain offered vegetables. A. God respected Abel's sacrifice and rejected Cain's. He was just teaching us what is acceptable to Him. Instead, Cain felt rejected personally and ended up murdering his own brother. B. VEGETABLE ministries are never acceptable to God. Churches without the power of the blood are worthless to God. C. SIN was at the door. Some interpretations say that the word sin indicates that it was a DEMON. Again, it was a symbol. Without blood on the doorway of your heart, sin will come in. Only the cleansing action of the blood will keep you clean. GOD WANTS US TO RESPECT THE BLOOD I. After the people came out of EGYPT, God began to teach them about the value of blood and how to respect it. He knew that one day, His beloved Son would shed His precious blood for mankind. A. Could NOT EAT blood. Lev. 17:10. B. Cannot have SEX during menstrual period. Lev. 18:19; 20:18. C. The blood of humans and animals was UNCLEAN. It would take the blood of Jesus Christ.

56

II. The LIFE is in the blood. Lev. 17:11. It is not in the organs or other part of the body. It is in the blood. People think it is in the heart, but you can have all kinds of artificial organs and still live. But you cannot do without blood. A. That means that the life of Jesus is in His blood. He is the life. Jn. 14:6. B. Heb. 9:22. Without blood, there is no REMISSION of sins. The life in the blood wipes out the death in the sins. The wages of sin is death. Ro. 6:23. Because He lives, we live. C.
