In John 9, the inability to see left this man with . . . No Freedom No Victory No Future
IF YOU CANT SEE YOU CAN T SUCCEED
The disciples assume this man . . . Will always be blind? Deserved to be blind? Would never change? Would always struggle?
Jesus declares . . . For judgment I came into this world, that those who do not see may see - John 9:39 (ESV)
WE NEED TO SEE CLEARLY The decisions we make (soul) and live out (body) create spiritual life or death that determines our future.
A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. - Galatians 6:7-8
Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms - Ephesians 6:11-12
Satans goal is to get you to choose sin and create spiritual agreements that will grow his plans for you, your family and your community
Foothold (Eph. 4:26-27) In your anger do not sin. Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold
A place you agree to allow sin to enter your life in order to solve a problem or experience a pleasure Caused by giving a sinful response and then believing in its results
The Result Of A Foothold Spirit: Poisons good Soul: Brings confusion (Mind. Will. Emotions.) Body: Creates lust to grow future sin
Stronghold (2 Cor. 10:4-5) The weapons we fight with have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish human reasoning and false arguments that exalt themselves against the knowledge of God
A protected area of your life that agrees that sin is the only way to solve problems & experience pleasure By giving your repeated trust to sin in order to succeed in that part of life
The Results Of A Stronghold Spirit: Empowers evil in your spirit Soul: Warps truth & creates blindspots (Thoughts. Desire. Emotions.) Body: Creates addiction (you can t rest or have peace without sin)
Covenant (Exodus 23:32) Do not make a covenant with them or with their gods.
An agreement that sin is who you are and will be your source of life By giving your identity, relationships and life purpose over to satanic power.
The Results Of A Covenant Spirit: Enthrones evil Soul: Blinds & reprograms (Mind. Will. Emotions) Body: Creates slavery & torture
SATANS FINAL GOAL SPIRIT CONQUERED BODY ENSLAVED SOUL BLINDED KINGDOM OF DARKENSS
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners (enslaved body) and recovery of sight for the blind (blinded soul), to release the oppressed (conquered spirit) - Luke 4:18-19
Then Jesus anointed the mans eyes with the mud and said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam . So he went and washed and came back seeing. - John 9:7 Freedom. Victory. Better Life.
Foothold: Crucify The Flesh Repent and remove sin Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God (Rom 6:13)
Stronghold: Submit To Gods Word Renounce Satan and Renew Mind Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. (Rom 12:2)
Covenant: Be Filled With The Holy Spirit Believe & Receive Jesus & His Baptism if you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Rom 10:7)
Jesus replied, I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. (John 8:34-36)
15 DAYS OF PRAYER & FASTING Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. . . Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up. (James 4:7-10)
