Teaching Synopsis
All of experience demonization at some level. The question is, how do we identify it, what do we do about it both in the moment and long term?
Demonization is being acted upon by demonic spirits who are wrestling to blind you from the work that God wants to do.
Levels of Demonization
Level 1: Harrasment – the effort to get me off of my appointed task. (Apathy vs. Passion)
Level 2: Oppression – a fog that limits your perspective and clouds your vision (discouragement vs. Courage)
Level 3: Affliction – a physical mality that can bring physical pain (despair vs. hope)
Level 4: Bondage – a power that paralyzes from the freedom Christ intends (surrender vs. surrender)
Ways we open ourselves to Demonization
Belief of the Lies
Garbage in my life
Unrepentant Sin
Embrace the freedom God has for you by changing my
Teaching Synopsis
So far we’ve considered the need to understand reality by not only the physical lens, but also through the spiritual lens. We’ve looked at who the “players” are in this epic battle, and what is driving the efforts of the enemy. Here is the question I want us to wrestle with this morning, “As we move through life, aware of these forces, how do I know what to do in moments of significant decision? How do we discern the works of the enemy & the work of God? Where do we turn for counsel, advise, and wisdom?
1. Sorcery vs. God’s Power (2 Timothy 1:7)
2. Witchcrat vs. God’s Voice (Hebrews 4:7)
3. Fortune-Telling vs. God’s Leadership (Ps. 143:10)
Title: The Enemy We Face
Text: John 8:45, 14:6, Matthew 4:1-11
Every hero has an arch-enemy. The Christian life is no different. In this teaching we considered how the devil is the Father of Lies and how Jesus is the Truth. We also looked at the temptation of Christ as a way to understand how the enemy will attack us.
