Taking Dominion Over Evil Spirits

0:00 Welcome to Day of Destiny with Dr. Michelle Kurall. Author, prophetic teacher and pastor of Breath of the Spirit, prophetic word center. Dr. Kurall can be seen weekly nationwide and around the world on her weekly telecast that air on, God TV, impact and word network. Now let's join Dr. Kurall by experiencing Day of Destiny, designed with your highest destiny in mind. Now here is Dr. Kurall. We're opening our Bibles tonight, dear people of God. We're going to open our Bibles tonight too. The book of, we're going to open our Bibles tonight to the book of gospel according to Luke, the age chapter and the second verse.

0:48 And I'm just looking for my glasses. Yes, they are here. Thank you, Lord. Luke chapter 8, verse 2. Now tonight, beloved saints, we are going to be speaking to you about taking dominion over evil spirits, how they work. The therapeutic dimensions of deliverance are what we're going to speak about tonight, how we get delivered from the inside out. And tonight, in order for us to fully understand, there are many we want to ask the Lord, what, in terms of what area do we actually classify the casting out of spirits, in terms of signs, wonders, miracles, charismatic gifts of the Holy Spirit.

1:39 First of all, in order for us to effectively understand our call in Christ Jesus to do this. Remember, Jesus said this is part of the Great Commission. Jesus said in Matthew chapter, excuse me, in Mark chapter 16, looking at verse, let's go quickly, Mark chapter 16, looking at verse 17 before we look here. Mark chapter 16 verse 17 says, hallelujah, these signs shall follow them that believe in my name, they shall cast out devils. They shall speak with new tongues, they shall take up serpents. And if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them.

2:22 So you and I must understand, this is all part of the Great Commission. The Great Commission actually begins on verse 15. How many of you know what the Great Commission is? The Great Commission is, go into all the world to preach the gospel. Turn to your neighbor and say, it's in every gospel. Say this with me, in Matthew. And Mark and Luke and in John. Now in Luke's gospel, it's placed actually in the book of Acts, which is the continuation of Luke's gospel. And that is found in Acts chapter 1 verse 8, because Luke's gospel ends with the ascension.

3:08 But I want you to see this. Jesus sent unto them, go ye into all the world to preach the gospel to every creature. This is the Great Commission. We should know this. All believers need to know this. This is the most important commandment that he gave to us, besides love one another as I have loved you. This is the commandment. It's not an option. It's the Great Commission. Say it with me, the Great Commission. Let's look at the Great Commission from Matthew's gospel, the 28th chapter and the 18th and 19th verse. Matthew 28, look at Matthew's version of Go ye into all the world.

3:50 Notice Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, all power is given unto me and heaven and and earth. Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. Notice it is a Commission that Jesus gave all disciples to go into all the world to preach the gospel. Are you with me saints? In John's gospel, he said, receive the Holy Spirit as the Father has sent me so send I you. Are you with me saints? And in Luke's gospel, the text teaches in Luke's gospel, which is so powerful.

4:35 Jesus said, wait to you be in dude with power and on high. Hallelujah and then in Acts chapter 1, which is the continuation of Luke's gospel because Acts was written by Luke. The Bible says, Hallelujah, you will receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you and you shall be witnesses unto me in Jerusalem. Judea, Samaria and the other most parts of the earth. It is a commandment to go into all the world to preach the gospel. Put your hands up right now and say, Lord tonight, I want to receive the mantle and the power and the doors opened to go into all the world to preach the gospel to every creature.

5:30 Give me the desire and open the door in the name of Jesus. Come on, give God the praise and give God the glory. If you're part of breath of the Spirit, you will go eventually. Hallelujah and if you don't go physically, you've already gone through your support. Amen. Now beloved saints, I want you to understand as part of this, this great commission when we obey the great commission, signs follow. There are certain signs that are activated in the life of the believer by obedience to the great commission.

6:13 This is why every person that goes on the mission field is used in signs and wonders. Even if you're a new Christian and you go and you lay hands on individuals on the mission field, you will see miracles like you've never seen before. Why? Because it's a result of what Jesus said, go ye into all the world and these signs will follow them that believe. In my name, notice the first one. They will cast out devils. They will speak with new tongues. They will take up serpents. What's that? That is another form of deliverance. They will take up serpents.

6:53 And if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not harm them. They men saints. All right. So where do does the category fall into when we speak about evil spirits? First of all, I want you to know that it falls in the category first of all of signs and wonders, which is not the same as the gifts of the spirit. You say, I thought they were all the same. No, they are not. The gifts and wonders are a result. They operate differently. They come as a result of breaching the gospel.

7:34 This is why the Bible says certain types of tongues are assigned to the unbeliever. That is said, and let us look at that just for a moment. In 1 Corinthians chapter 14 verse 22, I want you to see this. 1 Corinthians chapter 14 verse 22, I don't want us confused about the gifts of the spirit. I want us to be understanding the gifts of the spirit. How many of you want to operate in the gifts of the spirit? You are anointed to operate in the gifts of the spirit. It's your destiny to operate in the gifts of the spirit. God wants you to skill and train so that you can begin to operate in the supernatural.

8:16 Notice what 1 Corinthians chapter 14, 22 says, where four tongues are assigned. God is not to them that believe, but to them that what? Believe not. Now this is a little confusing. Because that's go to 1 Corinthians chapter 14. There's two different types of tongues he's talking about. And this is where the confusion is. Look at 1 Corinthians 14 verse 1. 1 Corinthians 14 verse 1, not Chronicles Corinthians. Let's Corinthians chapter 14 verse 1, beloved saints.

8:58 Hallelujah. Thank you so much. What a blessing. 1 Corinthians 14 verse 1 says follow after charity and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that you may prophesy. Notice how Paul ranks the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Once your neighbor in say, Paul is ranking the gifts of the spirit. Rather that you may prophesy means that is a more superior gift because why it edifies another person. Anything that is a gift flowing through you that builds up somebody else, it's a better gift. Okay.

9:38 Now notice what he says. See that speak it in an unknown tongue, speak it not unto men but unto God for no man understand of them. Now watch verse Corinthians 14 same chapter in the 22nd verse. The 22nd verse says, where four tongues are assigned not to them that believe but to them that believe not. Wait a minute. What's going on here? Verse D says tongues are assigned to not to them that believe but to them that believe not. And then he says, he that speaks in an unknown tongue does not speak unto men but unto God.

10:25 So what's going on doesn't that seem like a contradiction? Yes, it does because he's speaking about two different actions of speaking in tongues. One is the prayer language. The prayer language of speaking in tongues is when you speak not unto men but unto God. No man understands you because you are speaking to God in mysteries. Paul said, if I pray in a known tongue, my spirit prayeth. That would be my spirit prayeth.

11:07 Hallelujah. But now watch this. Go back to verse 22. And verse 22 is talking not about the gift of tongues but the sign of tongues. A total different operation and a total different demonstration. Say it with me not a total different manifestation and a total different operation. Notice where four tongues are assigned. That means it's the signs. So signs and wonders though they are supernatural have a different operation other than the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

11:50 Both are supernatural but one is meant for the unbeliever and the other is meant to build up the church and the body of Christ. We have to have clarity on what the Word of God says. Are you with me? Turn to your neighbor and say, I don't want to be in confusion about the supernatural because I plan on excelling and the gifts of the Spirit. This is what Paul said. He said desire spiritual gifts. Amen. So notice it says, where four tongues are assigned not to them that believe but to them that believe not.

12:31 Now why are we saying this? Because if we're going to understand about casting out devils we have to understand why and what category of the gifts of the Spirit they belong to are you following me? One is that casting out spirits is a sign. It's a sign to the unbeliever and it's a sign it's for the purpose of a sign. These signs shall follow them that believe. So it's not in the category of the gifts of the Spirit. It is in the category of signs. Are you following me? Yes. All right.

13:11 So you might say, well what operation of tongues is a sign? That means men are going to understand those tongues. The Bible says it's where four tongues are four assign not to them that believe but to them that believe not. So it's a bit confusing because when he's talking about the other kinds of tongues, he says not to use it in the church. So how can that possibly be assigned to them that believe not when they don't understand what you're saying? Because the type of tongues he's speaking about are the tongues that happened in the upper room.

13:53 In the upper room on the day of Pentecost, they were filled with the Holy Ghost but they received the ability to preach in languages they never studied. Are you following me if you are say a man? That's why go with me to Acts chapter one. I want you to see this. Excuse me, Acts chapter two. Go with me to Acts chapter two very quickly. And for those of you that don't understand it, let me give you an example. How many of you want an example of how this operates?

14:34 In the Azuzah revival, how many of you have ever heard of the Azuzah's Revival? Put up your hand. The Azuzah revival happened in 1906. And in the Azuzah revival, in the actual location of Azuzah. All right. In the actual location of Azuzah, once the revival was beginning to peak. Individuals in Los Angeles, well, so many people would come in on the train because it was becoming an international because of the newsletter. They had a tremendous newsletter.

15:15 And it was becoming an international internationally known. So the people from Revival were coming from England. They were coming from all over the world. And also Los Angeles was a melting pot in 1906 for persons from different countries. And there are several accounts of what happened one night during a revival during the prayer that was going on in Azuzah. A young boy came in who was about 12 years old. He did not know the Lord and he was a Mayan Indian.

15:57 And he sat next to someone who was praying in tongues and they were praying in perfect Mayan Indian. Next to him, but this is the miracle. The person next to them was praying actually praying in the spirit, but it was a prophecy. The man that was praying it didn't know it was a prophecy. It was going to the young man who was the Mayan Indian who came in. The Lord called him by his name. The Lord said, you are mine. The Lord said, I brought you to this place in Mayan Indian. And the Mayan Indian ran to the altar and got saved.

16:39 Hello. I said, hello. Most of the people who spoke in tongues in Azuzah was like the day of Pentecost. We've got this undocumented record. And I've heard this not only from experts that were experts in the Azuzah revival, the ologians that studied the Azuzah revival, but documentation that is held over. For example, the one man who came into Azuzah, who was a Jew, who came to shut it down. He said, this is just a place of fanatics and we're going to prove these fanatics.

17:22 And what they would do is in this beat up building of Azuzah. How many of you have ever seen that? The picture of the apostolic faith mission. It was an old dilapitated barn, actually. But it started out to be years before. It was actually an AME church. And it got so dilapitated, a beautiful woman by the name of Bitty, bought it. And you know how she bought it? She was a slave. And she was emancipated. And she took her money. She worked so hard when she was emancipated.

18:04 She saved every penny, every dollar. That woman ended up being one of the most wealthy ladies in Los Angeles. And she bought the AME church. But she suffered so much in her life. And she bought the AME church. Then later other organizations took it over and finally, William Joseph Seymour bought the apostolic faith mission for the revival. But there would be constantly a person that were putting a revival on trial. Just saying this is crazy because they never heard speaking in tongues before.

18:45 So when Jewish man came in with the newspaper and he was a newspaper reporter. And he was ready to shut the Azuzah street revival down. There was upstairs, brother Seymour had a prayer law upstairs. And when he wanted everybody down stairs, he just pound the ground and they'd come down stairs. And so this girl, young teenager, was praying through upstairs. And when she was walking down the stairs, to go into the room because brother Seymour called everybody to the meeting, this man was there taking pictures everywhere. And she pointed to him and started speaking in Hebrew to him about the Lord, the power of the Holy Ghost, the man that came to shut Azuzah down, got saved by the signs and the wonders and the miracles.

19:43 Are you with me, Seymour? So it's important that when we are dealing with demonic spirits, that we understand the categories, that we understand why. All right. So I want us to see this. Notice in the Gospel according to Mark, and we'll go in a moment back to Luke. But I want you to see in the Gospel according to Mark, not only did we see the call of the Great Commission, but I want you to see in Mark chapter 1 looking at verse 32. The Bible says, and when evening was come, the sun did set and they brought on to him them that were diseased and all them that were possessed with devils.

20:30 Look at verse 34, and he healed them that were sick of diverse diseases and cast out devils. Do you see the correlation that is beginning to be built with casting out devils and healing of sicknesses? What do you do, say amen? All right. Let us continue just for a moment, and I want you to understand this concept of casting out devils and also people that were sick being healed. Hallelujah. Notice, chapter 6, verse 13, says, they cast out many devils and anointed with oil, them that were sick and healed them.

21:18 So we are seeing in the context of casting out devils, we are seeing that there are certain types of demonic spirits related to illnesses. And there are certain types of demonic spirits related to weaknesses in the mind. Let us look at this just for a moment so we can understand what we are speaking about here tonight. So we can understand the word of the living God. Let us look, dear people of God. We are looking at the gospel according to, let's go according to Luke the H chapter.

22:04 Let us go to Luke chapter 8 and let's look at verse 2. Luke chapter 8, verse 2, and the Bible says, and certain women which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities. Notice these are evil spirits and infirmities. In Matthew's gospel, the 17 chapter in the 15th verse, a man who had a son that was possessed with the spirit, the Bible says he asked Jesus to cast the spirit out and his son was quote unquote lunatic.

22:47 So there are certain spirits that attack the area of the mind and there are other spirits that attack the area of the body. This is why when the demonic act of the gatherings was healed. Notice all throughout the New Testament scriptures, you will see two ways, two effects of casting out devils. One is just the driving out of those demonic forces and then other texts such as we have read right here in Luke, it will be associated with healing.

23:27 So we see one has to do with the healing which is a therapeutic dimension of deliverance, say with me, a therapeutic dimension of deliverance. Notice the demonic act of the gatherings when he was healed, the Bible says he was closed and in his right mind. Are you following me? Because there are certain demonic spirits that are associated with making persons insane or mentally ill.

24:09 Are you with me if you are same in? Now that doesn't mean all mental illness. But it does mean some mental illness and the Bible shows us this. This is why the Bible says in 2 Timothy chapter 1 verse 7, God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of love, power and a sound mind. Are you with me, Saints? So the mind becomes an area of vulnerability to demonic spirits.

24:51 And this is where we must understand when the Bible says they were healed of evil spirits. That there is a therapeutic dimension of deliverance that's more than just casting out a devil. There are methods for the miraculous that Jesus used. The in particular, some of the methods for the miraculous that Jesus used, specifically in the driving out of devils, wasn't always just commanding the devil to leave.

25:34 There were some individuals that needed a deliverance in a more therapeutic way. I hope you're following me. That had hurts inside. And that gone through prison-like experiences in their emotions. Go with me, please. If you will, to Psalm, I want us to look at Psalm 102. And I want us to see in Psalm 102, beloved Saints.

26:16 Hallelujah. I'm just going to turn to it really quickly. And I want us also to go to not only Psalm 102, but I want us to look for a moment at at Thumb. Isaiah chapter 42, but Psalm 102, I want to read it to you. For he looked down from the height of his sanctuary from heaven and did behold the earth. Watch this. To hear the groaning of the prisoner, to lose those that are appointed to death. What does it mean when the Bible says to hear the groaning of the prisoner? There are emotions that can be taken captive and put in a prison-like experience.

27:01 There can be from trauma memories that are vaulted in a prison-like experience that causes an individual to stay stuck in the past and unable to go forward. Are you hearing this? Jesus understands the depths of human suffering. He understands rejection. Because rejection is a fear or an anxiety that is developed from excessive abandonment, disappointment and a sense of being unwanted and unloved.

27:55 So we need to understand that many of these emotions are destructive emotions. Shame is a destructive emotion. It can cause an individual to feel isolated for the rest of their life and put them in a spiritual prison. Are you with me? So there are some methods of deliverance where Jesus is going to drive out a spirit, but he is also going to heal the depths of human suffering and pain.

28:48 Sometimes it's a process. I want you to understand it's a process. Let us look just really quickly. I want you to see the secret of Samaria set with me the secret of Samaria. Hallelujah. Somebody ought to give God the praise the secret of Samaria. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Glory to the Holy Lord. Hallelujah. Let's open our Bibles for a moment. I'm going to show you this very quickly because I want us to see this before we pray for you tonight. Hallelujah. In the gospel according to Luke, the 17 chapter in the 11th verse.

29:31 Luke chapter 17 11 through 14. Now please understand, people, this is the healing of ten lepers, but I'm going somewhere with this. Okay? Notice it says, and I want us to understand that there's this concept that they were healed as they went. Jesus does an always heal instantly. Sometimes he does, but everything is a miracle. The Bible tells us the noble man's son began to amend. A man, set with me, a man. At the hour that Jesus said, I son live it.

30:13 Okay? So there's different methods. Sometimes, a manding is much more miraculous than an instant miracle. Because there are depths and layers that Jesus wants to heal. Are you hearing this? It doesn't mean when someone is amending that that is a less miracle than when someone who gets out of a wheelchair instantly and begins to walk. We cannot say that because Jesus did both.

30:57 If you notice in this miracle that we are sharing from the ten lepers, the Bible says, they were healed as they went. I've seen that. I've seen individuals healed as they went. Oh, I'll never forget it. In Paul Carto, Indonesia, we're getting ready to go back to Indonesia. But I'll be a guest. So it's not a breath of the spirit of it.

31:37 But we're getting ready to go back. In the month of April, but my husband and I used to go to Indonesia every year and with our children in the summer, not for a vacation. It was to serve the Lord for a whole solid month of meetings in Indonesia. And one of those occasions, we went to a village called Polikarto. It was in Central Java. The church was packed with villagers from Indonesia. And many Muslims came. That would happen all the time in Indonesia.

32:18 And there was a Muslim family that had come with a crippled child and epileptic child. That was, the child was twisted. It was completely deformed. It was just one of those types of children that you see that are very, very, very, very, very special needs and extremely not able to walk. And there were so many other things. After the service, the host of the event said, please, we do not leave.

33:01 Please pray for this couple and their child. They had barefoot people with cutoff bottoms of their little pants there. I remember that so clearly wearing a boutique. They had their child in their hand. And I thought, I don't really feel on fire for God. I had just ministered. I said, oh Jesus, I don't feel the anointing. I did not feel the anointing. I was just, maybe I was just so drained out that I didn't feel it. And I was very concerned because I didn't feel the anointing.

33:45 We pray and we ask the Lord, please touch this little guy. I went home and never really heard what happened to the little boy until the next year. The next year I came, this is God is my witness. There was a little youngster running around. And after the service, the host of the church said, do you know who that is? And I said, no, I don't. And he said, that is the little boy from the Muslim couple. That they asked you for prayer.

34:29 And they said, when they got home, they put the baby in a crib. He was about three, but he had to be in a crib. He was so crippled and little. And they heard at midnight the crib cracking and moving. And they were watching the child's hands grow out and the legs stretch out. And after the child was healed, they ran to the church and were baptized and became Christians. Hello. These are the kinds of miracles.

35:10 We can't even imagine what it was like with Jesus. We can't. And so we must understand that he wants to heal the whole person, not just the physical, when he comes to heal, he heals the whole person. And you cannot be healed physically, even if you're the most spiritual person on the planet, without receiving a spiritual healing when the physical healing takes place. And so looking at this, the Bible says in Luke 17, Hallelujah. And it came to pass as he went to Jerusalem that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee and he entered into a certain village.

36:00 And there meant him 10 lepers which stood afar off. And he said unto them, and when he saw them, he said unto them, go show yourselves unto the priest and it came to pass that as they went, they were clenched. Now I want you to see something about this text. What does it says the 10 lepers stood afar off? Do you see that? They were out of distance. They could not come close. They were in a place of isolation. They were in a place that they had an inability to be close and to connect.

36:49 And we wonder why, why does this text go out of its way to tell us that direction Jesus was going in? Notice it says in Luke 17, 1, it says to us, Hallelujah, at the very beginning, it tells us and it came to pass as he went to Jerusalem that he passed through Samaria and Galilee. To us that doesn't mean much. But if you notice the scripture, Luke is telling us much more than him just being when he goes home that he's going to be on the way to Galilee.

37:37 I want you to understand what Luke is telling us. Luke is telling us most Jews when they came from Jerusalem. They did not pass through Samaria and Galilee. They went all the way to Peria because Jews had no dealings with the Samaritans. But Luke is going out of his way to tell us, Jesus is going to pass going back and coming not through the way that the traditional individuals go to stay that they will not be in Samaria. Jesus is going to pass through Samaria to go home to Galilee and when he does this miracle, it's in that path because there is another time when the same route is taken in John's gospel in the 4 chapter when Jesus is going to go to Samaria and he's going to pass through Samaria, dear child of God, in John's chapter 4, let us just look at that just for a moment.

38:46 Hallelujah, in John's chapter 4, I want us to see this and there's a reason why he brings this out in Luke's gospel. In John's chapter 4, the Bible says verse 3, he left Judea and departed in the Galilee and he must need go through Samaria. Notice John and Luke both are going to show us something about spiritual leprosy and actual physical leprosy. One is a physical 10 of them or physical lepers and they stood afar off. But there is another type of leprosy that Jesus sees that can be spiritual or emotional, where a person feels they cannot connect with anyone.

39:40 Where a person feels isolated, where a person feels separated and that's what happened to the woman after well. She came at a time when no one else would be there. She felt separated, she felt isolated. Are you seeing this? And just as Jesus healed the 10 lepers as they went from their biological leprosy, this woman who also has the symptoms of leprosy but not physical. She cannot connect with anyone. She's isolated. She has shame about her because why?

40:25 Because of her life and so she doesn't feel she can connect with anyone at all. But after Jesus spent the time with her, Hallelujah and told her, I am he. She went back and evangelized that entire area of Samaria but she was delivered of inward leprosy. Are you following me? Notice he didn't cast out devils. He didn't even lay hands on her. He just told her, go call your husband.

41:05 He went right to the area of shame. He went right to the area of tragedy. He went right to the area of personal isolation and personal separation and meeting with him alone at that well. He set it up so he could pour into her life another method of healing. Not laying hands but the healing of word of knowledge, the healing of loving her so much that she left and said, come see a man who told me everything I ever did.

41:59 Are you following me? Tonight in closing very quickly. Write it down. I want to give you three steps to deliverance before I pray for you, before we pray for you. Three supernatural steps into deliverance tonight. Go through me, Isaiah 52, these three steps to deliverance are found in these two verses. There are methods of deliverance that we know we have to have hands laid on us. We know there are methods of deliverance where spirits do have to come out but that is not the only way. There are sometimes spirits come out and also on top of that there needs to be a tremendous amount of inner healing and pain that has been shoved and stepped for years to be dealt with.

42:58 The areas of woundedness to be healed by the Word of God and by the acceptance. Are you following me by the love that only Jesus's love could heal? There are some wounds that only His love can heal. Are you following me, Saints? Alright, so I want us to see in Isaiah 52 very quickly. The Bible says in Isaiah 52, looking at verse 1, it's a very important text. The Bible says, hallelujah, awake, awake, put on your strength.

43:41 O Zion, put on your beautiful garments on Jerusalem. The Holy City, for hands for it there shall no more come unto you the uncircum sized and the unclean. Shake yourself from the dust, arise and sit down, lose yourself. Turn to your neighbor and say, there are some methods of deliverance. That you have to lose yourself. That you have to deliver yourself. I said there are some areas of deliverance that no man no matter how annoying he is or she is can deliver you.

44:21 It is from your own determination that you will find supernatural liberation from demonic spirits and captivity. Some of it depends on choice. Some of us are waiting for someone really in order to come and just keep delivering us. And there are some methods of deliverance that that will never take place. Because the only one who can deliver you is you. I said the only one who can deliver you is you.

45:05 Notice, go back to verse 1. A wake awake. This has to do a spiritual apathy. This is the door to demonic intervention interference in a life. The person who makes the choice to live an apathetic double-minded life opens themselves up to a type of demonic interference in their life that only they can deliver themselves from. By making a choice they are going to awake.

45:49 Secondly put on die strength. This word strength here. This says put on die strength. In the Greek language in the new testament, Jesus said, but wait till you be in dude with power from on high. That word in dude. In the Greek language means to put on. Wake till you put on. Hallelujah. Wait till you are closed upon with power from on high.

46:36 That's when he was singing Luke 24 verse 49. Wait till you are closed upon with power from on high until you are injured with power from on high. So putting on one straight is putting on the power of God. Do you really want to be delivered? You need to be under the anointing. There is a certain type of deliverance that takes place just by dwelling in the anointing and walking in the anointing. I said tell your neighbor deliver yourself.

47:17 Get under the anointing. Hello, I said deliver yourself and stay under the anointing. Notice it says put on your beautiful garments. Oh holy city, now watch this. Shake yourself from the dust. That actually interprets shake off. In Acts 28 verse 5, a Viper fastened itself to the arm of Paul and he shook off the beast. The Bible here says shake yourself from the dust. What does that mean?

47:57 The dust has to do with debris. You know when we're walking in life there's a lot of debris that cleans to us. We have a free of unforgiveness to breathe things we've walked through, debris of the fiery furnace, debris that from tragedies, debris. Some of us are still clothed, are still got the debris on from last year's trial. And it's about time we shake it off. We need to shake off that last tragedy. We need to shake off what somebody said to us that threw us into it, Tizzy for five months and put us into pressure.

48:40 Shake it off. Shake myself from the dust. Raise your eyes and sit down. That type of emancipation or liberation is going to involve a tremendous amount of divine determination. You're not going back. You're not going to think like that. You're going to shake it off. You're not going to allow somebody's thoughts.

49:22 Sometimes we go through humiliating experiences. Sometimes people say things to us that throw us. We try to forget it but our emotions were human. People will say things to us and we feel we've been devoured. And things will happen that are shocking. But we have to shake it off. Shake it off. Turn to your neighbor and say, Lord, the neighbor pray for me to shake it off. Come on, let's stand right now in the name of Jesus.

50:05 God tonight, come on. We are going to break and bind every spirit that is held God's people back. Spirit's of isolation. Spirit's of separation. Spirits of depression. Spirits that want to hold you back from what God's got for you. Spirits that are on an assignment to destroy you. For some, there have been attacks in your mind. The mind has been taken captive. You are in depression.

50:46 You are in a place where you're constantly weeping. Where you feel isolated and separated right now. We want to speak to those spirits. Thank you for joining us today on Day of Destiny.
