TOPIC: PRODUCE SONS MEMORISE :  Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient towards all men. 1 Thessalonians 5:14 READ : Philemon 1:10-18 10 I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds: 11 Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me: 12 Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels: 13 Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel: 14 But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly. 15 For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever; 16 Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord? 17 If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself. 18 If he ...

FINGER OF DELIVERANCE Tuesday, October 9, 2012

MEMORIZE: But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you. Luke 11:20

READ: Luke 11:14-20

In the course of this month, we have studied that the finger of God can be an early warning sign or a sign that God’s judgment is imminent and inevitable. This is not exhaustive of what the finger of God is or can do. The finger of God is also a medium for casting out devils. When the Pharisees accused Jesus of casting out devils through Beelzebub the chief of devils, He replied:

But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the Kingdom of God is come upon you. Luke 11:20

It is not the shouting of commands or acrobatics that expel demons but the finger of God. When in Mark 16:17 the Lord said you shall cast out devils in His name, He means that you should get ready to work with the invisible finger of God. Demons and satanic agents see what we don’t see. When you are in right standing with God and you are casting out demons in the name of Jesus Christ, they will see the finger that created them coming towards them. On several occasions, they screamed in fright and begged Jesus not to torment them. No demon can withstand the finger of God. You too through faith in Jesus Christ can use the finger of God to cast out devils. Never think you are the one demons are afraid of; it is not you but the finger of God.

That is on the positive side. On the negative side, when a fake prophet or pastor using evil powers is praying for people, demons are released even when many may not see them. Such agents of darkness clothed as ministers of light create the atmosphere for demons to operate. The Lord exposed one of them sometime ago. This popular miracle preacher was trying to pray for a young lady over an ailment. Then suddenly, the Lord opened her eyes and she saw that as he stretched out his hand to lay it on her, demons were being released towards her. She saw this so she began to resist and did not want any more prayer from this evil agent. But when the so-called man of God realized she had seen his secret, he forcefully laid hands on her. Then suddenly, the girl that was using all her strength to fight and resist the demons suddenly became subdued and began to behave like an insane fellow. Later, God showed this fake miracle agent to another prophet of God; he saw him riding a black horse. Then he knew he was connected to an evil source.

 KEY POINT:
God’s finger expels demons but the hands of fake prophets release demons.

 Bible In A Year: 1 Chronicles 27-29

Psalm 138:2 READ: ISAIAH 40:4-8 4. Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: 5. And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. 6. The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field: 7.

TOPIC: THE SNARE OF THE FOWLER 4 MEMORISE:  All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. 1 Corinthians 6:12 READ: Bible Reading Romans 6:1-23 1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? 3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: 6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 7 For he that is dead is freed from sin. 8 Now if we be dead w...
