We speak many things casually in our culture: “I’ll pay you back next week.” “I’ll always love you.” “I’ll be there on Sunday at 10 a.m. for sure.” We fail to recognize that our words have power—and are witnessed by both God and the enemy.
When a person is oppressed he does things that are obviously beyond human reasoning, and plays the fool beyond his or her own control.

When a person is bound or oppressed, he does things that are beyond human reasoning and plays the fool beyond his or her control. Notice, I did not say possessed. This is because a Christian cannot be possessed--he or she can only be demonized or oppressed. For a Christian to be possessed, he or she ceases to be a Christian, because the demonic forces have completely taken over his or her spirit being. This has to occur willingly. Only an unbeliever whose spirit is defenseless and open to occupation can be possessed.
While it is not in the character of God to curse, it is discovered that the violation of God’s laws triggers curses. God’s laws carry adverse consequences that sometimes result in a generational curse when disobeyed. Therefore God does not need to verbally put a curse on someone before the curse like a time bomb kicks in.
What exactly are these darts? We see them first in Genesis 49:23: They are called Archers. They shoot destructive thoughts and unbelief into the hearts of the righteous to destroy their foundation of faith in Christ. They do not go after failures but those who have the potential to succeed.
Understanding and demystifying dreams is an age-old passion, but as hard as people try, if God does not give the grace, the effort becomes a waste of time.
An ‘idolizer’ is someone who has a particular idol but whose life is not wholly given to idols. Such a person whose life is full of idols is properly called an ‘idolater’ and has no inheritance in the kingdom of God.”
Oppression is the same thing as to be in bondage. When a person is oppressed he does things that are obviously beyond human reasoning, and plays the fool beyond his or her own control. Oppression kicks in gradually and grows in hooves and horns as the days go by when nothing is done to restrict or confront it.
Raising godly children in today's world is increasingly difficult as moral decadence devours values in our society. Whether we like to admit it, satan is attacking the very fabric of family values through avenues of government and media.
It is important to know the patterns of behavior that provide you with the evidence of demonic oppression. There are stages through which satanic oppressions or possessions manifest. When you begin to observe the signs, it will help you identify what is going on.
Why is your bed strategic? Because the place where you sleep is a site of divine renewal or satanic regression. You could be either made or marred on your bed. Lying on your bed in the solemnity of day or the serenity of night, you can initiate, maintain, and sustain fruitful thinking that will change your life. Great thoughts of glorious happenings could be inspired on your bed as you thoughtfully guard your hearts in deep search of divine mysteries: “There is a spirit in man, the inspiration of the Lord giveth them understanding,” Job 32:8.

Cheer up--this is your time. Trust Him for your turnaround!
Let’s look at the ways deliverance and honor are connected. Take heart in this truth: You are delivered by God to be put in the place of honor. “Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land” (Psalm 85:9).
Pastor Taiwo Ayeni is an authority on deliverance ministry. This month, he concludes his three-part series on the basics of casting out demons.
What is it like when a man runs his home without satanic limitations? Such a man is introduced to us in Psalm 128:1-4, and he is called a blessed man. Who is he? He is the man who fears the Lord.
All of us, therefore, need to take a close look at how we as men conduct ourselves in carrying out our responsibilities as a spiritual head, husband, and father. This man is supposed to be a godly example to his family, and God nurtures him to fulfill this expectation. A free man does not struggle with vices such as sexual immorality, anger and other character issues, financial impropriety, and a bad work ethic.
The year 2011 has come and gone with its load of troubles. It was a year in which many unthinkable or unimaginable things happened. Families lost their jobs and their homes, and the trauma of these hardships in some cases led to untimely and unexpected deaths. Diverse disasters--earthquakes, tornadoes, wars, civil unrest, economic crises, and terrorism--brought indescribable pains to many globally. The stress of 2011 touched the nerves of people, places, and things all around the world--even the rich cried!
If a man doesn’t make major-milestone achievements in good time, he is most likely suffering from delayed blessing. This type of spiritual bondage is different from stagnation. While stagnation is consignment to one spot for many years, delayed blessing produces results that are inordinately slow—such as in the lives of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
This twenty years have I been with thee; thy ewes and thy she goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock have I not eaten. That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee; I bare the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by day, or stolen by night. Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes. Thus have I been twenty years in thy house; I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy cattle: and thou hast changed my wages ten times. Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now empty. God hath seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee yesternight.” – Gen 31:38-42.
Show forth the Praises of our king by Laboring for Truth.
This is trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance (and for this we labor and strive), that we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, and especially of those who believe. (I Tim 4:9-10)
