MAKE JESUS LORD AND WALK IN FREEDOM
Whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Col. 3:17
In whatever area of your life that Jesus is Lord, that you give thanks to Him and confess truth, you will walk in freedom and live in peace, and Satan will not be able to come against you. You will experience great victory and healing! In whatever areas of your life that you stand on the word of God and stay thankful, Satan will lose control and influence in those areas. Satan will no longer be able to cause you to accept his control or influence in any area of your life that you give thanks to God and speak the truth of God’s word. The more control the word of God has over your mind and mouth and the more you give thanks to God, the more freedom and blessings you’ll experience, and the more intimacy you will have with Jesus.
He HAS delivered (rescued, freed) us from the power of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we HAVE redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.
Jesus has already delivered us at the cross from the devil and all his works of darkness. You are forgiven of ALL your sin and healed of ALL diseases! Ps. 103:1-5 So all that’s needed is to believe Jesus and bless his name with all your soul and acknowledge His finished work on the cross with thanksgiving, declare your victory and say no to the devil. Simply submit to God’s word, of who you are now in Christ; free, healed, whole, delivered, saved, protected and the devil will flee from you. He will run away! Greater is He in you than the one who is in the world, Satan. Everyone born of God overcomes the world and everything in it. This is the victory you have that overcomes the word, your faith, your confidence and trust in God, what he says about you. 1John 4:4; 5:4-5
The world is Satan’s trap to keep you from the Father’s love. The world is the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. These all come from the world. Keeping your eyes fixed on Jesus, the Father’s love, will always set you free. 1John 2:15-16
There is nothing better than to have a heart of the FAther’s love and live in Christ! The Father’s love is yours every day no matter what has happened or is happening. You are in Christ and that means you have been transferred into the Father’s love, Christ. You have been put in Christ! Now you simply put on Christ every day and walk in him. You were crucified with Christ and the old you is gone, passed away, you no longer live but now Christ lives in you and through you by faith. 2Cor. 5:17; Gal. 2:20
TODAY IS THE DAY OF SALVATION (deliverance, freedom, protection, wholeness, healing)
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.” Rom. 1:16-17
The power of God is in identifying with your new identity in Christ. You are the righteousness of God in Christ and now count yourself dead to sin.
When the temptation comes you simply say, “I count myself dead to that sin, I am the righteousness of God in Christ. I give my body as an instrument of righteousness and live the abundant life in Christ.” Rom. 6:10-13; John 10:10
“Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Rom. 10:13
“I call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised, And I am saved from my enemies.” 2Sam. 22:4
The meaning of deliverance is rescue from imprisonment, danger, or evil; the action of being rescued or set free.
“Humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” James 4:7
Testimony: I am a raw vegan and love fruit and veggies! One day while eating a big bowl of fruit for lunch I was flooded with thoughts of going to get a bag of tostada chips. It was taking all my thoughts and consuming me. I thought about it and thought about it and finally I put my shoes on and I grabbed my purse. I and was going toward the door. I stopped knelt down on the rug lifted my hands and declared Jesus as my Lord. I said something like, “Jesus, You are my Lord! You bought me at a price and I belong to you. Every desire of my heart belongs to you. I am yours and you are mine. You are the Vine of my appetites and desires and every area of my heart and life. I submit myself to you.”
I spoke out loud for less than a minute and the thoughts for chips let! I never went to the store and it’s been months and I haven’t had that temptation since.
I’ve received freedom while driving, in my kitchen, in my bedroom, etc… When the devil comes with words and thoughts of temptation, I simply call on Jesus and experience freedom! I’m just like you and have had many temptations over the years but Jesus saved me from them all! He will free you too when you call on him in faith.
“The Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” 2Cor. 3:17 The Lord is Spirit, Breath, Word so you abide in his word, his Spirit, by speaking out the truth and there is freedom.
“Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it.” Luke 9:23-24
The moment you give yourself to the Lord you will overcome.
GIVE YOUR THOUGHTS AND WORDS TO JESUS AND BE FREE.
This is the most important aspect of walking in the Spirit and in freedom.
“The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.” Rom. 8:6
The moment you set your mind on Christ you are hidden in him and the devil can’t touch you! Col. 3:1-3
PRAYERS Simply declare Jesus to be Lord over every area of struggle in your life.
Ask Jesus to search your heart and bring every hidden thing into the light. Anything that comes up cast your care on Him for He will care for you. 1Pet. 5:7
Pray: Jesus, I give you…. (whatever the thing is). Then take time to thank God for His love, mercy, and grace in specific ways. Thank Him for the new things he’s given you in Christ. Use the Word of God to pray with thanks and the power of God will completely free you. You can take one Scripture and get free! Take a verse and declare it as yours and thank him for it. That’s all I did to get free and that’s all others did too. It’s not complicated or hard. God did all the work now we just stand firm in our victory in Christ.
Thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ.” 2Cor. 2:14
If you have:
Any wrong agreements or contracts
Any wrong attitudes toward anyone
Anything that you have done that was not of Jesus.
Make Him Lord over all areas of your life.
God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble. Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. James 4:6-8
God pours out blessings, grace, supply to you as you call on him!
Thank Jesus for using all things, even all the mistakes, sins, and hurts in my life for so much good, and for turning what the devil meant to destroy me around for God’s glory. Rom. 8:28; Gen. 50:20
Now give God your whole life and acknowledge Him to be Lord of your life. Do this daily.
Anything of the past that comes up, simply pray Rom. 8:28 and Gen. 50:20 again. I have prayed it many times and so many wonderful changes and blessings happened in my life!
REPENT, simply change your mind (BELIEVE AND AGREE WITH JESUS, THE WORD OF GOD), FORGIVE, AND BLESS
Pray: “Jesus, I freely forgive all who have hurt me, because You have freely forgiven me of all my sin. Lord, I release all judgment I’ve held against ____________ in Jesus’ name. I bless ____________ with the peace of God, and pray that Lord, You would lavish _________ with Your love and mercy every day, and put Your countenance on them.” Eph. 4:32; Num. 6:22-24.
Now anytime anything or anyone comes to your mind that causes offense simply say, “I forgive you _____ in Jesus name and I bless you with God’s love and to know God and bless you in every area of your life. I bless you to experience God’s grace flowing abundantly to supply for all your needs.
SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY IN CHRIST
“I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven, and God in heaven will allow whatever you allow (bind) on earth. But he will not allow anything that you don’t allow (loose). ” Matt. 16:19
“I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.” Luke 10:19
“Jesus called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out impure spirits and to heal every disease and sickness.” Matt. 10:1.
USE YOUR SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY
Anytime you are being tempted simply say, “NO! In Jesus name go now! Thank You, God that I am bound tightly to your love and nothing can separate me from your love! Thank you for your peace flowing like a river over me and joy overflowing in my heart. Thank you for new desires, new appetites, a new way that is good, new mind to guide me in good habits and good health.”
HEALING AND THE BLOOD
“When I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you.” Ex. 12:13 “You shall serve the Lord your God, and He will bless your bread and your water; and I will remove sickness from your midst.” Ex. 23:25. “I will bring to it health and healing, and I will heal them; and I will reveal to them an abundance of peace and truth.” Jer. 33:6 They overcome him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. Rev. 12:11
You are no longer focused on you and what you need to do but only on Christ and what He did.
Pray: I command healing and restoration over every part of my spirit, soul, and body in Jesus’ name. I am in Christ and as He is, free and healed, so am I in this world. I am in God’s perfect love and have no fear. I keep my mind stayed on him, trusting in him and live in perfect peace. I am imitating God and walking in love and forgiveness, letting the mind that was in Christ be in me. I put on the new self, (Christ) created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. I let no corrupt word proceed out of my mouth, but only what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. I get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice and am kind and compassionate to others, forgiving, just as in Christ God forgave me. As Jesus is loving and merciful so am I in this world.
Thank You, God, for cleansing every part of me with the blood of Jesus, filling me with Your peace, and making me whole in Jesus name. 1 These. 5:23-24; 1John 4:17-18; Phil. 2:5; Eph. 4:24, 29-5:1; Isa. 26:3
BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT
“I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.” Matt. 3:11
Thank You, Jesus for baptizing me in the Holy Spirit, and filling me completely and teaching me how to give thanks always and walk in my new life in Christ. I want everything You have for me. Take control of everything in my life and equip me to minister in the Spirit. I give you permission to use me in any way. I will go anywhere and do anything you ask. I say YES! In Jesus name I pray, amen.
USE YOUR AUTHORITY ANYTIME
1 – Recognize attacks of the enemy (be alert) and say “No!”
2 – Remove the enemy by saying, “I command every evil spirit to go and never return in Jesus name. Luke 10:19
3 – Replace Quickly my words/thoughts by speaking: thank You, God, for Your perfect peace. My mind stays on You and Your promises and trusts in You. I rejoice in the You, Lord, and Your great salvation that made me a new creation. I bless my enemies and pray for them and receive a cup running over. Giving thanks to God in everything is the easiest way of escape, freedom, and healing. Isa. 26:3; Luke 6:27-38
4- Renew your identity. Identify with Christ not with sin. Say you are in Christ.
5 – Rejoice and give thanks to God and live a free and healthy life.
Freedom Confession I bless Your name, Lord, at all times. Thank You, Lord, that I am not mastered by anything, because I put my confidence in the precious Holy Spirit. I lift up my eyes to the hills where my help comes from, the Maker of heaven and earth. You, Lord, will not let my foot slip; You watch over me. I can do all things through You, Christ, who gives me strength. I am in Christ and an overcomer! I am blessed with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places! I am a new creation in Christ! 2Cor. 10:3-5; Ps. 34:1; 1Cor.6:12; Ps. 121:1-2; Phil. 4:13; 1John 5:4; Eph. 1:3
STAY FREE IN CHRIST
1. Words Simply remember that staying free is all about your words, thoughts, beliefs, and speech. Speaking the truth of who you are in Christ will always set you free, so simply pull down negative words that identify you with your old nature that died with Christ when they come. Say identity Scriptures in first person to yourself with thanks to God. You will see immediate change, and enjoy the Lord and His peace and love!
Your words are the power to make you free and healed! Don’t let the devil feed your thoughts, or you will speak his words and experience torment, anxiety, and lots of suffering! Your tongue has the power of life and death. If you abide in Jesus the truth will make you free. Prov. 18:21; John 8:32
Write on a 3×5 card and put it on your bathroom vanity:
Life words: forgiveness, love, kindness, humility, faith, blessing, thanksgiving, praise, truth, gentleness, patience, self-control, peace, joy, grace, mercy
Death words: hate, unforgiveness, pride, selfishness, complaining, worried, anger, slander, bitterness, resentment, jealousy, accusing, judging, critical, doubt, addiction, condemnation
2. Believe Good, The Truth, Jesus, and Speak It. Since I have the same spirit of faith as Jesus, I also believe and therefore speak, and live by faith, not by sight. 2 Cor. 4:13; 5:7 “For it is with my heart that I believe and am justified, and it is with my mouth that I confess my faith in Jesus the Word and am saved. As I believe in him and will never be put to shame. The Lord richly blesses me who calls on him! I call on the name of the Lord and am always saved from my enemies. Rom. 10:10-13
3. Give Thanks In Everything and Let Christ Rule Your Heart to Save, Free, Heal, Protect, and Make You Whole“Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” Col. 3:15-17 “You can pass through his open gates with praise. Come right into his presence with thanksgiving. Come bring your thank offering to him and affectionately bless his beautiful name! For the Lord is always good and ready to bless you. He’s so loving that it will amaze you—so kind that it will astound you! And he is famous for his faithfulness and mercy toward all. Everyone knows our God can be trusted, for he keeps his promises to every generation!” Ps. 100:4-5
DO GOD’S WILL AND YOU WILL RECEIVE THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
1 Thess. 5:16-20 Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in every circumstance and do God’s will through God’s Spirit!
1 – Rejoice always in His Salvation! Rejoice in His peace, faith, joy, love, truth, grace, mercy, kindness, power, and freedom; ALL HIS PROMISES ARE YES AND AMEN TO US IN CHRIST!
2 – Give thanks in all circumstances thanking the Lord for all His goodness and for delivering you from the hand of the enemy. Do this every day! The more the better!
3 – Pray at all times with all kinds of prayers and requests, taking the word of God. The word of God is the sword of the Spirit that God wants you to pray at all times. Eph. 6:17-18
WALK BY FAITH, HOPE, AND LOVE, AND YOU WILL OVERCOME EVIL WITH GOOD
1Cor. 13:13 Have and live by faith, hope and love, always remembering that the greatest of these is love.
1 – Walk in faith. Confess the Word of God and stand firm in your faith. Speak and believe the Word! Take up your shield of faith and extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one! Eph. 6:16
2 – Walk in hope. Believe good is happening. Keep a high expectation of good through God’s Word, His promises. Think on good. Phil. 4:8
