Breaking the Three Cords of CondemnationNow, by the authority of the name of Jesus,I break every agreement I've made with condemnation.1. For every lie I have believed,I repent and renounce it.I declare — I am who God says I am.I am loved, I am chosen, and I am complete in Christ.2. For every lie I have spoken,I cancel the power of my own words that partnered with shame, fear, or judgment.I declare — My mouth will agree with heaven.I speak life, I speak truth, and I speak identity.3. For every lie I have lived,every moment I've tried to promote myself,prove myself, or perform for acceptance —I lay it down now.I return to rest.I return to the rhythm of grace.Now, Lord, bring me into the secret place not just You abiding in me, but me abiding in You.Let me be hemmed in and hedged about by Your Spirit.Build the wall of Your presence around my heart.Let there be no breach for the serpent to strike,no opening for accusation to enter.Father, I choose to live hidden in Christ.And because I'm hidden in You, the accuser can find nothing in me.No condemnation.No shame.No striving.Just rest… just peace… just presence.For in You I live,in You I move,and in You I have my being.So now, I decree, I am rooted,I am resting,and I am abiding.And from this place of abiding,I will bear much fruit, fruit that remains,fruit that glorifies the Father.In Jesus' mighty name — Amen.

What if I told you that the measure of your life is not what you accomplish, but what you give away to others? How would that reshape your life? How would you reprioritize your life? We are one of the most misguided cultures in all the world. We think little about legacy and focus most of our energy on accomplishment and consumption. Let's take Jesus for example. Jesus gave His life away. Literally. What would you say was His greatest contribution other than going to the cross on our behalf? His teaching? Miracles? Condemnation of the religious hypocrites? Compassion? Love? Not as I see it. You may see it differently but there on Mt. Arbel, outside Galilee after his resurrection and before his ascension, he's says these words to His disciples… "Go, that is, you go, I am sending you, go into all the world and make disciples. Oh, and baptize and teach them all I taught you. You teach them, don't hand them a book, you teach them personally." Notice the emphasis is on YOU GO. YOU TEACH. I would argue Jesus' second greatest contribution was, as Robert Coleman said in my most read book ever, Master Plan of Evangelism, “It all started by Jesus calling a few other men to follow Him.” And what followed is a handful of men who carried on after his ascension. The reason why the gospel spread was not because it was written down for all to read, but because he raised up others to take it into all the world. John Maxwell once said, "he who thinks he leads, but has no followers is only taking a walk." Who's following you is another way to phrase the initial question? This is precisely what Philippians 2:19-30 is all about. Paul replaces himself with Timothy. He will hand the baton to Timothy before he says, “I have finished the race.” Relevant for today? I'd hate to spend my whole life and look back and have not influenced one person in the way I spent my life. Let's talk about legacy building. Let's talk Paul and Timothy.

Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things. 2 We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who practice such things. 3 Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself—that you will escape the judgment of God? 4 Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? 5 But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed.6 He will render to each one according to his works: 7 to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life; 8 but for those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury. 9 There will be tribulation and distress for every human being who does evil, the Jew first and also the Greek, 10 but glory and honor and peace for everyone who does good, the Jew first and also the Greek. 11 For God shows no partiality.12 For all who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. 13 For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified. 14 For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them 16 on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus.1.     What do you find yourself condemning other people for? Do you ever do that, or something similar?2.     When you find yourself doing or saying something you condemn in other people, how do you respond?3.     Do you agree with Paul that everyone has a basic morality written on their hearts? What does that mean for the average person, Christian or Non-Christian?4.     What are you go-to excuses for yourself, why the rules don't fully apply to you in a particular situation?5.     In what situations or to which people do you have trouble apologizing?6.     Does Jesus becoming weak and vulnerable for you make it easier to repent to him and others? 7.     Do you ever find yourself thinking or acting like God grades on a curve? Why is it important that God is impartial?

Getting Back On Track After a Binge (Without Shame or Spiral) How to process the moment, reclaim your discipline, and move forward like an athlete Even the most disciplined athlete has a moment where she slips — the night she eats off-plan, goes overboard, or wakes up feeling defeated. But what if that “bad night” wasn't a setback… but an opportunity to learn, reset, and rebuild your identity? In this episode, Rachel gets real about the emotional side of binge moments and what it actually means to get back on track without shame or punishment. You'll learn how to process the moment logically, re-engage your athlete identity, and keep your prep (and your peace) intact. This isn't about guilt — it's about growth. Because the woman becoming HER doesn't let a moment define her… she lets it refine her.

Thursday, 16 October 2025   Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age. Matthew 13:40   “Therefore, just as it is gathered, the darnel, and fire – it consumed, thus it will be in the age's consummation” (CG).   In the previous verse, Jesus explained who the enemy is, what the harvest signifies, and who the reapers are from His parable of the darnel. He next says, “Therefore, just as it is gathered, the darnel.”   In the parable, the darnel was gathered first. As noted previously, this cannot be speaking of the end of the church age without severe modification of the typology, something that would make no sense. This is not only true from the idea of keeping the parable comparable to actual events, but also because of who Jesus is speaking to.   Speaking about the church, something not yet understood by the disciples, would be comparable to someone today speaking about the terrible job the next administration is doing in handling the economy. The next administration is years away, and the candidates haven't even been selected.   Therefore, at the end of the age of Israel's interaction with the law, meaning the end of the tribulation, the darnel, the sons of the wicked one, will be gathered up first. From there, Jesus says, “and fire – it consumed.”   Before the wonderful millennial reign, the agents of Satan will be identified and eliminated. Like darnel, fire will consume them. Only then will the world be ready to enter into the final dispensation. To sum up this thought, Jesus says, “thus it will be in the age's consummation.”   The word aión, age, is used. This is not its first instance, but as a reminder, it speaks of various things based on the context. It signifies an era or time span. HELPS Word Studies says it is “characterized by a specific quality (type of existence)”.   In this case, it does not have to mean the end of the church age, even if that is what comes next. The type of existence that Jesus is currently speaking to (and about) is Israel under the law, not yet having received Him. It is the consummation of this age, this type of existence, that is being referred to. Keeping the boxes straight will keep students of the Bible from having actual contradictions in their biblical understanding.   Life application: In this parable, Jesus speaks of fire as the disposition of the darnel. It is rather popular for people to overlook or diminish Jesus' judgment and the resulting effects of it. Some say, contrary to several passages, that condemnation is not eternal. Rather, people are just snuffed out and done.   Others say that nobody will go to hell. Such notions would mean that the Bible is actually untrue in its statements and depictions. Rather, judgment lies ahead for all humanity. For believers, their judgment for salvation or condemnation was realized in their receiving Jesus' punishment, meted out to Him vicariously, at the cross of Calvary.   However, even believers have a judgment of fire coming. To understand that, or to refresh yourself, Paul says –   “Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 13 each one's work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one's work, of what sort it is. 14 If anyone's work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. 15 If anyone's work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.” 1 Corinthians 3:12-15   “Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. 11 Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are well known to God, and I also trust are well known in your consciences.” 2 Corinthians 5:9-11   Real judgment lies ahead for each of us. In Christ, it will be a judgment for receiving rewards or for the loss of what we could have received. How will we live our lives in Christ? The choice is up to each of us.   When we fail to live appropriately, we will suffer loss, but praise God! We will be saved. Jesus has paid the full price for our sins. Condemnation no longer hangs over us. This is one of a long list of verses that assure us of eternal salvation. Thank God for His grace. Hallelujah and amen.   Lord God, may we be faithful in our walk with You. We received Jesus' work, were saved, and at that time we were sealed with the Holy Spirit as a guarantee. May we now reflect that in our daily walk, pressing forward with Jesus as the fixation of our eyes. Amen.

Join us for an inspiring and hope-filled discussion on reclaiming your mental and spiritual well-being. Quotables from the episode: Today, we're going to be talking about conquering the three enemies of mental health. We’re attacked by the enemy on a daily basis. The key is to recognize the attack and fight back with the right weapons. I grew up in an Islamic household. And so just growing up, my understanding of the character of God was distorted. And so I grew up believing in a different God, but I thought he was the right God. I came to know the Lord is through a dream about Jesus. Growing up, I battled with my own depression. I battled with anxiety, but I didn't know that they were clinical depression and anxiety. It's like I was high functioning. I thought anxiety was the norm. It was normal for me to think something bad is about to happen. I had the symptoms of the clinical diagnosis. And it was about, I'd say, early 20s or so, when my depression just got worse and worse, to the point of suicidal ideations because I felt like I was, I had no hope. I decided to blaze my own trail. And I mean, I drove into astrology. I drove into chakras, reiki, everything you can think of. I tried to figure out my own purpose in life. And none of that brought me the peace that I remembered feeling when I had a dream about Jesus. What's incredible is God is so kind and so patient with us. You know, he didn't stop pursuing me. He didn't throw in the towel on me. He just kept pursuing and pursuing and he knew I was going to hit a dead end at some point and I did. I decided to give my life to Jesus and after I gave my life to Jesus and I moved to South Carolina and I just started my life from scratch. The Lord called me to the field of counseling. I had never thought I was going to become a counselor, but I felt the Holy Spirit for the first time, and I just felt this call toward the field. So I went back to school, finished my clinicals, and then I started treating brothers and sisters in the faith from both a clinical and a biblical perspective. I could not believe just how many patients I had who were self -professing believers, who struggled with the same ideas and the same issues and negative thoughts and oppressions that I struggled with as a Muslim. I noticed that even believers are not equipped to fight against spiritual forces of darkness. They're not. How did your family take it when you became a believer in Jesus Christ? – They didn't take it well. I had experienced persecution because of that. And the reason I moved to South Carolina is for safety reasons. I needed to start my life from scratch, but of course they found me and you know the Bible says count the cost Jesus said count the cost and for me the count the cost was my mother my father brother sisters my family was everything to me and I was raised with I pledged my allegiance to my family and so my allegiance would have been divided. When Jesus says that basically you have to put him before your mom and dad, it's not that you need to hate them, it's that you need to love him more. How does scripture reveal the roles of the devil, the flesh and the world as adversaries to mental health? What I have seen my practice is the devil will do anything possible to split our faith in Jesus. So even if it's 90% in Jesus and 10% in the object of our faith, that's splitting your faith in Jesus. We were made for relationships. When we spend time with the Lord, when we spend time with God, there is a chemical that gets released in our body and that chemical is serotonin that chemical combats depression just naturally okay now what happens is because we have the wrong perspective of God. We don't spend time with Him. We think the Bible is outdated. A lot of people think that. They have actually done a research out of Biola University where they claim that God is, they found that most people believe that God is mean, harsh, or distant. Those are the top three adjectives they use to describe God. And because of all of that, we run to self -medicate. And so, we self -medicate by watching too much Netflix, too much TV, right? We don't pay attention. For overcoming enemy number one, the devil, you have to renounce your dealings with the kingdom of darkness. There's no way around that. Now, number one, if you're not a believer, you have to give your life to Jesus. And I feel like I have to say this because I have had patients who came to see me and said, "Can you do it for me because you're a believer? Can we bypass Jesus?" No, we can't bypass Jesus. That's just not how it works. And the reason they say that is because they believe Jesus is a dictator and they have the wrong perspective about him. And so, they don't understand that he's a God who pursued them to the point of dying on the cross for them to satisfy the righteous requirement of sin so that they can have a relationship with Him. And so, number one, you have to have a relationship with Jesus. Psalm 139 that says, "Search me, O God, and know my heart. Test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that's offensive to you and lead me to the path of everlasting life." And just ask him to show you what in your life is taken priority or is not of him. And he will show you. It's a dangerous prayer, but he will show you. Don't ever think that God is condemning you because in Jesus there's no condemnation and God is not a man that he should lie. He doesn't lie to you. There's no condemnation. He may convict you if you're acting in a way that is incongruent to who you are in Jesus. But conviction says, "Hey, you should not have done that." Condemnation says, "Hey, you're a loser, you're this, you're that, and you'll never come back from it." There's a huge difference between the two. One, it redeems you. Because conviction is for the purpose of restoring our relationship with God. But condemnation serves to separate us. You know, when we feel guilty or condemned, we're embarrassed. And so, we separate ourselves from others and from God. So, there's a huge distinction between the two. The other area that the enemy gets a foothold besides lying to us is that very subtle did “God really say…? If he really loved you he would have X, Y, and Z.” It's that little word really that gets us to doubt what the Bible says about God. That's the oldest lie. It's the oldest lie. It dates back to Genesis and so what he does is he induces doubt. That's the cycle of enemy number one. He induces doubt and when he says “did God really tell you?” or “Does God really love you?” “Is God really looking out for you?” And he'll come to you, especially in times when you're desperate, then doubt leads to temptation and when you act on it and you don't receive God's forgiveness or you don't repent and receive God's forgiveness, it leads to shame and shame is going to lead to hiding. Unfortunately, we wear these masks and I call them defense mechanisms. Defense mechanisms are basically masks that we wear in order to keep God from, I mean, he's trying to heal us, but we try to push him away and keep him from healing the wounds that he's trying to heal. And these defense mechanisms that we employ, and I list all of them in the book, but most common ones are denial, like we deny that there's an issue with us, or there's repression, meaning we don't deny the problem, but we deny its effects on us. We act like, “Oh, no, everything is fine. Everything is okay.” Meanwhile, God wants us to bear our hearts to him. He wants us to surrender our wounds to him. Another practical way is ask the Lord to prioritize your life. It's a dangerous prayer and it's a dangerous request because he will prune who needs to be pruned. Yes, he will. Anything that doesn't bear fruit, he’s going cut off. So, it is a risky prayer, but what a fruitful prayer. Yes, because we were made for his purpose, and we were made to bear fruit. He made us for a specific purpose. And so many times, we just hit one dead end after another, after another, and we live a frustrated life, but really we can live a fruitful life if we just surrender to him and ask him, "Lord, I can't do it by myself. I need you to please just prioritize my life according to your will." And he will, because he wants to be part of every detail of our lives. For the longest time, I had a habit of just waking up and I just felt like I would wake up with anxiety. And believe it or not, so many people deal with this. They wake up and it's like, as soon as their feet hit the floor, like their heart is racing. And what I have found, something that I have found that has helped me so much. And if you want to start this tomorrow morning, and it has a clinical and a biblical basis is tomorrow morning, when you wake up, because it has helped me, instead of first thing is checking your phone, checking your email, because that's what I was doing, is first thing you do, start thanking the Lord God, spend 10 minutes, even if you have to wake up 10 minutes earlier, spend time thanking God for 10 minutes for everything He has done for you. You can find something, even if you are in the midst of despair, you can find something to thank God for. When we start thanking God, there's a chemical in our brain that gets released. It's called serotonin and it combats depression. That chemical floods your body, first thing in the morning, and so it decreases anxiety and it raises, it almost puts a shelter around your brain for any depressive thoughts. That's from a clinical perspective. From a biblical perspective, the Word of God says the Lord inhabits the praises of His people. When we're thanking God for everything He's doing for us and thanking and for who he is, God's presence, God is love and his presence comes and inhabits our praises. God is love and perfect love casts out fear. So, the spirit of fear has to flee when God's presence is there. No matter how many mistakes you have made in the past, no matter how bad you had messed up in the past, that God's grace covers you and there's no way that you could have outrun God. God's grace covers you and his mercy is new for you each and every morning and so remember that and remind yourself of that. God is not looking down on you with a magnifying glass. God loves you and he is just in love with you. And it's the enemy who brings those thoughts that accuse you. The war over your mind doesn’t have to be lost.

Your body can't always tell the difference between a painful memory and a present threat—and that's why a passing thought can hijack your day. We invited educator and creator Larry Hooks to unpack how trauma shapes the nervous system, why triggers feel so immediate, and how simple daily practices can teach your body a safer pattern. From faith-filled self-talk to practical breathwork and boundaries, we map a path out of the loop of alarm toward a steadier, kinder baseline.Larry shares decades of experience exploring neuroplasticity and the metaphysical aspects of healing, pairing them with Scripture and lived wisdom. We talk about reframing identity from victim to overcomer, why perspective changes physiology, and how to challenge intrusive narratives by speaking truth out loud. You'll hear concrete ways to spot whether you need a nap or a reset, why Sabbath is a nervous system skill and not a reward, and how dissociation, anxiety, and anger are protection strategies that can be retrained with patience and consistency.We also get honest about community. Condemnation keeps people stuck; trauma-informed spaces create room for story, listening, and co-regulation. When calm, safe people share the weight of vigilance, your nervous system doesn't have to hold everything alone. If you've wrestled with triggers, doom-thinking, or the guilt of rest, this conversation offers tools that are both spiritual and practical: breath you can count, words you can say, and a lens that helps your body expect good again.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with someone who needs it, and leave a review to help others find it.

Rev. Timothy Cayten, Sunday, October 5, 2025

Have you heard words that feel like that from other people, and somehow they echo within you days, weeks, even years or decades after they were carelessly spoken? This is self-condemnation. Some of us deal with self-condemnation as an ongoing struggle and today I'd like to explore how we can let go.

Don't let social media “preachers” disciple you into poverty. God wants His people living in abundance—financially, spiritually, emotionally, and relationally.Dr. Gabe challenges us to rethink what abundance truly means—not just in terms of money, but as an all-encompassing spiritual provision. He explores how often, as believers, we fall into the trap of a scarcity mindset, shaped by fear, comparison, and a lack of generosity—sometimes even unintentionally fostered by the teachings we hear.Dr. Gabe unpacks how God wants us to embrace a life of abundant forgiveness, overflowing grace, and spiritual fulfillment. He also highlights the importance of stewardship, daily dependence on God, and breaking free from selfish patterns that hinder us from living fully in the abundance God intends.Support the showText encounteratl to 94000 to stay up-to-date on all things Encounter.Worship with EncounterSundays at 9 AM ET | Wednesdays at 7:30 PM ETSupport EncounterText egive to 77977 Connect with EncounterFacebook | Instagram | TikTok | YouTube | WebsiteConnect with Dr. GabeInstagram | YouTube | Website

Pastor Ryan Deas preaches from Romans 8:1–11, calling the church to reject carnal thinking and live by the Spirit. There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus and walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit. Freedom from sin and death comes only by the indwelling Holy Ghost, empowering believers to live in peace, obedience, and victory. The Spirit that raised Christ from the dead dwells in us, giving life now and the promise of resurrection to come.

Do you ever feel weighed down by guilt or fear of judgment? There's a big difference between conviction and condemnation, and understanding it can transform how you respond to God's guidance. Join Reverend Ammie Bouwman this Sunday as we look at the difference and understand the Father's heart.

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sat down with journalist, author, and host of The Brink, Jake Wallis Simons, to unpack the latest in the Israel–Hamas war, the UN's controversial genocide report, and Britain's recognition of a Palestinian state.We examine what Keir Starmer's decision really means — and why Hamas itself has called it the “fruits of October 7.” Jake explains how the propaganda war has been waged from 1947 to today, why the UN has long been biased against Israel, and how famine and aid are manipulated as weapons in the conflict.We also discuss Jake's new book Never Again: How the West Betrayed the Jews and Itself, where he argues that anti-Semitism is a symptom of the West's civilizational decline, from centrist fundamentalism to the rise of radical ideologies.A wide-ranging conversation on Israel, Gaza, the UN, Western weakness, and whether we can restore our lost values.Check out Jake's new podcast The Brink: https://www.youtube.com/@TheBrink_PodcastPre-order Jake's new book here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Never-Again-West-Betrayed-Itself/dp/0349000433-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Watch the extended conversation here: https://open.substack.com/pub/winstonmarshall/p/the-hamas-hoax-that-fooled-the-west?r=18lfab&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 0:00 Recognition of Palestinian State and UN Report on Genocide3:28 Discussion on the Israel-Hamas Conflict and Keir Starmer's Recognition of Palestine 7:05 Starmer's Condemnation of Hamas and the Pay-for-Slay Fund9:09 Clarification on Starmer's Recognition and the Pay-for-Slay Fund16:53 The UN Genocide Report and Its Credibility38:52The Propaganda War and Hamas's Strategy42:20 The Muslim Brotherhood and Its Influence in Gaza 48:57 The Aid Situation in Gaza and the Role of the UN and Israel 1:06:01 The Ceasefire and the Hostages1:11:24 Britain's Recognition of Palestine and Its Implications 1:14:04 Starmer's Moral Clarity and Family Ties1:15:22 The Moral Complexities of War1:17:32 Final Thoughts Hosted on Acast.

The presence of God is everything, but how do we access it? This one is a condemnation killer.

SYNOPSIS Pastor Joe Granieri discusses the nature of Paul's Thorn in the Flesh, arguing against the common interpretation that it was a physical sickness. Instead, the Joe interprets the "thorn" as a messenger of Satan or a demonic spirit that brought persecution to Paul, a view supported by scripture such as 2 Corinthians 12. Joe then addresses the broader topic of whether born-again Christians can be oppressed by demonic spirits in their minds and bodies, concluding that they can be attacked, but not possessed in their spirit. Throughout the sermon, Joe emphasizes that the fullness of salvation includes forgiveness, healing, and deliverance, urging listeners to recognize their identity in Christ to overcome spiritual bondage and fear.Pastor Joe Granieri discusses the nature of Paul's Thorn in the Flesh, arguing against the common interpretation that it was a physical sickness.

Joe then addresses the broader topic of whether born-again Christians can be oppressed by demonic spirits in their minds and bodies, concluding that they can be attacked, but not possessed in their spirit. Throughout the sermon, Joe emphasizes that the fullness of salvation includes forgiveness, healing, and deliverance, urging listeners to recognize their identity in Christ to overcome spiritual bondage and fear. ATONEMENT, SALVATION, HEALING, AND DELIVERANCE Joe interprets salvation, healing, and deliverance as intrinsically linked concepts that are all fully provided for in the atonement of Jesus Christ. Interpretation in Relation to the Atonement He emphasizes that healing, salvation, and forgiveness are all part of the atonement. This understanding is derived, in part, from 1 Peter 2:24, which states, "by whose stripes you were healed". The sources teach that once a person realizes this truth, they understand that they can be healed just as they were born again. Salvation (Sozo) The Greek word for salvation, sozo, is interpreted as encompassing more than just forgiveness; it includes healing and deliverance. The message of the kingdom of God is defined as forgiveness, healing, and deliverance. Key aspects of salvation highlighted by this ministry include: • Forgiveness and the Breaking of Sin's Power: Through Jesus's death, he died to sin once and for all, breaking the power of sin. This death accounted for the penalty, the punishment, and the imputation of sin. God no longer imputes sin to believers, and he forgives their iniquities and remembers their sins no more. • No Condemnation: Being in Christ Jesus results in no present-tense condemnation. Condemnation is identified as a spirit that attacks the mind and heart, and the gift of no condemnation is a freedom Christ gives. • Freedom from the Fear of Death: Through his death, Jesus destroyed him who had the power of death (the devil) and released those who were subject to bondage through the fear of death. The ministry teaches that fear of death is bondage, which leaves a person who understands the fullness of their salvation. Healing Healing is considered an element of salvation. It is associated with the resurrection power of Christ, which resides in the spirit of the believer. Joe teaches that: • Spiritual Component: Healing sometimes has a spiritual or demonic component to it. A physical problem in a person may have a spiritual component attacking them. • Pathway to Healing: When a person is delivered from spiritual oppression, they are on the pathway to healing. Deliverance Deliverance is presented as a vital part of the gospel of the kingdom and was a major facet of Jesus's ministry, often preceding healing. • Demonic Oppression: The ministry holds that born-again Christians can be oppressed by demonic spirits in their mind and body, although their spirit (where Jesus lives) is perfect and cannot be possessed. • Torment and Weakness: Demonic spirits manifest as "torment". Paul's "thorn in the flesh" is interpreted as a "messenger of Satan"—a demon spirit sent to torment him by stirring up persecution, riots, arrests, and beatings. This is viewed as a form of attack against which Paul was helpless, requiring total reliance on Jesus. • Deliverance from Oppression: Deliverance is necessary to overcome spiritual bondage caused by spirits of religion, fear, guilt, bitterness, condemnation, and infirmity. The crown of thorns Jesus wore during the atonement was specifically meant to deliver believers from all the oppression that would attack their minds. • Jesus's Methodology: In Jesus's ministry, approximately 50% of the miracles involved deliverance from demonic spirits. For example, the woman crippled for 18 years was first set free from her infirmity (a spirit of infirmity), and then Jesus laid hands on her, and she straightened up. Joe emphasizes that to receive freedom, one must know the truth, as "the truth shall set you free". If a person believes wrong things (such as believing God causes sickness or that demonic spirits cannot attack them), they may not be set free or healed. PERFECT LOVE CASTS OUT FEAR Fear is described as a master spirit and one of the most dominant things in the world. The ministry teaches that fear involves torment, which is how it operates. Although Joe acknowledges, "Do I have perfect love? It's a quiz. No, I don't have perfect love", he clarifies that Jesus has perfect love. Therefore, the love of Christ that's in your spirit can free you from fear. Joe also connects fear to other concepts: • Bondage: Fear of death is explicitly identified as bondage. • Torment: Fear brings torment with it. • Faith's Opposition: Faith is described as the enemy of fear, noting that they cannot operate at the same time; a person is either in faith or in fear. Joe advises that if a believer is living in the fear of death, they are subject to bondage, and they can pray that the love of Christ will release it out of their spirit so they can overcome it.

It withdraws him from the community. The more isolated a person is, the more destructive will be the power of sin over him…. Sin wants to remain unknown. It shuns the light. In the darkness of the unexpressed it poisons the whole being of a person. Reflection Questions: Romans 7:21-25 21 So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God's law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!... 1. In Romans 7, Paul describes his internal battle with sin. How would you describe your own battle to overcome sin in your life? 2. Paul uses the term “flesh” to describe what we are battling against. How would you define “flesh” as Paul uses it in the Bible? 3. The battle is between our flesh and the Spirit. Paul says the battleground is the MIND. Why is the mind so important? How does sin often start in our mind(thoughts)? Explain. Romans 8:13For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live. 4. How can we put to death sin in our life by the power of the Holy Spirit? John 16:8When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong (conviction) about sin and righteousness and judgment… Romans 8:1Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 5. What is the difference between Conviction and Condemnation? Why is conviction a good thing and condemnation a bad thing? How can we experience conviction while at the same time not experience condemnation? 6. What does it mean to have our mind set on the “flesh”? Describe. Give examples. 7. What does it mean to have our mind set on the “Spirit”? What are things that the Spirit draws our attention to? 8. What is your mind set on? How can we know what our mind is set on?

One of Charles Wesley's greatest hymns is "And Can It Be That I Should Gain." Seizing upon the glorious truths of Chapter 8 in Romans, Wesley wrote: No condemnation now I dread; Jesus and all in him is mine. He knew that the amazing love of Christ had set him free from any possible condemnation and had made him sing with joy. Do you rejoice in the knowledge that there is no condemnation for you?
