Helping The Walking Dead By Binding and Loosening;
By Coming Clean With God 1
Overcoming every evil by the revelation & the power of God
In the very last days of John’s ministry,[ shortly after writing revelation, it is said he became a man of few words, using only saying 3 words when he was called to the Ephesian church he said; “love one another” then walked off stage. Billy Graham had thousands saved in his ministry, did the same thing...” It was Him who did the works not me, I will take none of His glory. He is the one who delivers & saves, I am just an instrument.
Phone call last night about deliverance & told to read;
Psm 32
Psalms 32:1
What bliss belongs to the one whose rebellion has been forgiven, those whose sins are covered by blood.
Rebellion; those who are opposed to authority, to refuse to receive correction from a superior who have confessed their corruption to God! [ Corruption; lack of integrity or honesty] For He wipes their slates clean and removes hypocrisy from their hearts.
[Hypocrisy; the practice of claiming to have a higher standard or belief when they are far from it. To have insincerity, using their position for dishonest gain]
Before I confessed my sins, I kept it all inside; my dishonesty devastated my inner life, causing my life to be filled with frustration, irrepressible anguish, and misery.
The pain never let up, for your hand of conviction was heavy on my heart. My strength was sapped, my inner life dried up like a spiritual drought within my soul.
Then I finally admitted to you all my sins, refusing to hide them any longer. I said, “My life-giving God, I will openly acknowledge my evil actions.” And you forgave me! All at once the guilt of my sin washed away and all my pain disappeared!
This is what I’ve learned through it all:
* All believers should confess their sins to God;
*do it every time God has uncovered you in the time of exposing.
For if you do this, when sudden storms of life overwhelm, you’ll be kept safe.
9 I hear the Lord saying, “I will stay close to you, instructing and guiding you along the pathway for your life. I will advise you along the way and lead you forth with my eyes as your guide.
So don’t make it difficult; don’t be stubborn
when I take you where you’ve not been before.
Don’t make me tug you and pull you along.
Just come with me!”
10 So my conclusion is this: Many are the sorrows and frustrations of those who don’t come clean with God. But when you trust in the Lord for forgiveness, his wraparound love will surround you.
Ephesians 2:1 (MSG)
It wasn't so long ago that you were mired in that old stagnant life of sin. [ But God delivered you, so don’t be self-righteous]
2 Timothy 4:5 (NLT)
But you should keep a clear mind in every situation. Don’t be afraid of suffering for the Lord. Work at telling others the Good News, and fully carry out the ministry God has given you. [ KJV by doing the work of an Evangelist, yet some will turn their eyes from the truth]
2 Tim. 1:8b Passion;
Overcome every evil by the revelation of the power of God!
Ephes. 2:1-3
And you hath he quickened, [made alive] who were dead in trespasses [Once like corpses] and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
Some will Give into the Desires of the flesh; by being passive or by a determination or choice , give into pleasure, now having no control of their own will. Not aware they are now slaves.
Verse 3 says; through our conversation we worked with the Spirit of the world, the god of this world, and were his children, ( Satan’s ) or the children of disobedience.
Having the world’s spirit. The world is polluted, because Satan is in charge.
Psychology says; We are a product of our fathers, our families.

Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.
