After fear, the next demons that named themselves and came out were pride, jealousy and self-pity. So self-pity can be a demon! I said to myself. - Derek Prince Prince, Derek.

It would be natural to assume that, after my wonderful deliverance from depression, I began immediately to share these exciting truths with my congregation. Unfortunately, this was not so. There were two main reasons. The first, quite simply, was pride. Prince, Derek. They Shall Expel Demons: What You Need to Know about Demons--Your Invisible Enemies (p. 38). Baker Publishing Group.

The New Testament writers give a clear picture of the nature and activity of demons, but the key to understanding these areas is an accurate explanation of the terminology they used. Prince, Derek.

I was reading the opening verses of Isaiah 61, which describe the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit in bearing testimony to the message of the Gospel—verses Jesus applied to Himself in the synagogue in Nazareth (see Luke 4:16–21). As I came to the words in verse 3, “the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness” (KJV, emphasis added)—also called “a spirit of despair” (NIV) and “a spirit of fainting” (NASB)—I could read no further. It was as though the phrase the spirit of heaviness was underlined by some invisible hand. Prince, Derek. They Shall Expel Demons: What You Need to Know about Demons--Your Invisible Enemies (p. 32).

Derek Prince details his beginning experiences with the casting out of Demons. He was a new Pastor at a small church. A woman in the congregation release a horrifying shriek during one of his sermons. He was confronted with a choice. Allow his fear from lack of experience dealing with these kinds of problems cause him to back down from this confrontation with evil. Or he could summon his courage, trust Christ and attempt to expel the Demon possessing the woman. This was his beginning of a search for and answer to the question "Are Demons real?" --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

I enjoy the short chapters. I get the feeling that books are written and filled with filler. How much of what is written is important, is vital or even useful. That which is those things is the book. This one suggests an attitude about blessings and cursings. It is an important part of the principles of life, in my opinion.

Well, yes. This chapter is short. They seem to be the most effective of chapters. At any rate, scientific prayer is putting good things into your mind.

This short Chapter talks briefly but usefully about how you are responsible for the events in your life and how you can begin to clean up your consciousness (your thinking). It is your thinking which is a key to a better life. If you think true, positive thoughts you will get a return. Your life will improve. If you think negative thoughts which in my head occur automatically, then you will get negative returns. You know the drill: fear, resentment, misery, self absorption (that sort of category). The return on this kind of mentality is not only negative feelings but negative results. The loan won't go through. You may lose your job. We are our own worst enemies.

I would like listeners to know, that while Emmet Fox may be on the right track here, he also may not be describing the transition process from "Life After Death." Never the less I was entertained by some of this thoughts on the nature of living in different layers of life experiences after death. I can not say his view is purely speculative because I did not see a lot of footnotes in the reading which would support his ideas with facts. That being said, I do not dispute his observations knowing that I can not have an intelligent discussion, since my discussions would be speculative. I leave i to you, the listener to create your own notions with an open mind concerning the nature of life after death. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

This segment talks in detail about the type of life that might be lived after "death" on this earth. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Emmet Fox discusses some thoughts about the nature of life after death. The ideas are unique. Living after dying has intrigued many people because it is so mysterious. There are some ideas about this cycle of life which are interesting. If you are a traditional Christian you may have ideas which are fixed in your mind about the subject. This traditional view is at odds with many of those of Emmet Fox though there are hints in his writing which indicate some common ideas between his view and the views of traditional Christianity. A side note: There are some expressions in Mr. Foxes writing which are poorly written and cause me confusion when reading. I make mistakes when I read though I think I have improved greatly in that area. To remove the confusion from some of Mr. Foxes "statements" would require me to rewrite the sentence. This I am unwilling to do. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

The subject of death is one I don't want to think much about. My fear based consciousness kicks in and that is the result. But God is good; he is love. The presence of fear belongs someplace else. Changing consciousness to true and positive thoughts is the state of mind I desire. I do not accept fear. I reject it. God has not given us a spirit of fear. His ideas about death are new to me. They are different than the traditional Christian idea of the nature of death. At any rate, my objective is to read his thoughts with an open mind. A closed mind allows no thoughts in other than those that agree with what I already "know." An open mind is necessary for change. Keeping my mind open to good thoughts renews my mind and makes my life better. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

If you are like me, you need to clean up your consciousness. Negativity manifests in my mind almost without notice. It sets up housekeeping in my diseased brain. So what is the answer? I don't know. But Emmet Fox suggests a Seven Day Mental Diet. This diet forbids negativity a dwelling. My job is to forbid any and all negative thoughts. I do not accept them. These thoughts do not come from a loving God. "God does not give us the spirit of fear." That comes from some place else. Fear seems the root of all other negativity. At least, fear does seem to be an evil and corrosive thread throughout my consciousness. Emmet Fox suggests his plan for a cleansing of the consciousness of all negativity. Sound impossible? It does to me too, but that is a negative thought as well. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

You can change your outlook on life by practicing a spiritual principle. That principal is called The Yoga of Love which means to me the teachings of love. Once again, the author focuses on our consciousnesses. That is the playground that determines our spiritual condition. It determines our character. Through practice it is not hard to change your consciousness. You just must be willing to work at it. Say one principle each day, I would say the same principle everday until it becomes a working part of your mind. Read, say aloud, becomes a memory, becomes a working part of your mind. Knowledge is power, but knowledge itself is not enough. Action is a key to changing character. Watch your consciousness. See the nature of it. Try Emmet Fox's methods. Look at your thoughts and feelings on paper. This will be evidence to yourself that your consciousness is changing. This method, when used for ill, it is called propaganda. When used for good it is enlightenment which helps you to live a happier and more productive light. Keep an open mind. By that I mean listen, listen without judgement. Discern the good from bad. Then, your life will be in your own hands and you will choose to live a good life or a miserable one. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Emmet Fox looks upon the idea of being born again. Being born again is a fresh start. It is a chance for a human being to begin a new life. It is a life that God meant for men and women to live as it was to some extent in the Garden of Eden. Words create. And with a new vocabulary you and I have a chance to get a bit of taste of heaven. To experience this we need to start over as a baby then a child. Our consciouness is one of innocence. What we develop in our minds are a result of what we allow to enter. A clean slate is made. We can begin to establish change in our minds. Today, our minds have been polluted with all kinds of rubbish. Being born again is a chance to write a new consciousness with healthy, happy, loving thoughts as opposed to what exists in the mind. Fear is there. Anger is there. A host of life killing "old ideas" which make life something to dread. You can start your journey today. Change your consciousness to a state of goodness which can make life delightful. Laughter, a job well done, saving a person's life. There are so many wonderful things in life to enjoy. The journey is the reward. Living in the presence of light, of love, of truth, and a path to citizenship in the Divine Kingdom. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

The adventure referred to in this chapter an experience in the power of consciousness. Consciousness is what is to be changed if we want to renew our minds. Of course, the mind is the battle ground between good and evil. Okay, so to renew the mind to "the quality of goodness" by using a variety of tools. One such tool is the scriptures as a proclamation. The proclamation is a statement of faith that you believe or choose to believe is a true promise. That a proclamation of healing or over-coming a bad habit by proclaiming God's promises over and over until they become a working part of the mind. As I have practiced this, I have noticed that the good in the proclamation begins to crowd out negativity such as fear. Another tool is listening for the Holy Spirit. Check with your spiritual advisor on this one. Another such tool is that of recognition. That understanding is along these lines, "God has not given us a spirit of fear." In other words, "God is good and righteous. He is not going to place evil things in our consciousness. That evil or negativity comes from some other source, but not from God who is love clear through. Finally another thought. Wait on the Lord. Those that wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they will mount up on wings like eagles. Develop patience.

I would like each listener to know that "The Golden Key" may be one of Emmet Fox's better Chapters. It is easy to understand. You have the knowledge.

Emmet Fox studies Isaiah 25 to find spiritual truths which when practiced can change your conscious and subconscious mind to improve your mental and moral state. That is to say that a healthier mind will develope, evil will be crowded out and good grows and problems of all kinds are decreased or eliminated all together.

The value of courage and perseverance is shown in this episode. The view of fear and resentment as wrong thinking in our conscious mind is expanded so that I can see that through the practice of the principles of proclamation, I can crowd out negative thing with right thinking. It is in a way a renewing or reprogramming one's mind from the old nature we are born with which produces automatic negative thinking. It has taken me some time to get a glimpse of my mind when it has been cleansed or reprogrammed let's say and realize the crowding out of negative lies with precious truth. Righteous is living life with spiritual principles based on truth. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

In this Psalm (24) Emmett Fox maintains that it is man's and woman's destiny to reach harmony which is the destiny of all people. It is this destiny that comes from the demonstration of harmony which manifests in health, prosperity and happiness. He maintains that as you begin to realize in your consciousness that these Biblical principles are indeed true and proclaim them as being true you will more and more edge our wrong thinking or evil from your consciousness and gain "right thinking" which is the state of consciousness needed to lead a fulfilled life. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Through the use of the ideas in Psalm 46 I am replacing my fear based mentality with a faith based mentality. This book goes into a lot of explanation. I have found this useful. However, there are many scriptures when read, read aloud as a proclamation create a new mind. This practice works well. Hopefully you will find the second part of this lesson more clearly read and with less mistakes.

I would like the listeners to know that Psalm 91 is one of the most powerful of that book. It promises solutions to problems when it is proclaimed by the individual with problems as being truth. That is an act of both faith and trust. Listen carefully because there is meaning in the pauses or quiet times in the reading. Many great speakers such as Churchill and John F Kennedy as well as FDR were very deliberate with the words for accuracy and emotional content attached to the words. Speed readers may miss the drama and passion of words as they read for intellectual knowledge only. I am an amatuer reader. I don't often read or practice before putting the words on tape. I do not want to take the time to do this.
