Don't put your whole heart in ministry, put your whole heart in Jesus. You are blessed to be a blessing. live life and live life abundantly only through Him this happens. We are vessels, pouring out love not just in the scheduled things but the day to day life activities as well.

The creative ones
There are Many who see what they need to do, but cower in fear. There are many who have the willingness to do something but the how tos not given to them. But then there are those who operate in boldness not knowing much but a simplicity of trust as they desire to step out into the crowd and do the unthinkable. Creativity that changes the atmosphere will happen more and more as people walk in the divine identity of which personality is given. Normal is being like everyone else, or a lot of times someone else, which brings confusion, fear, and discouragement. But walking in a belief of being of sound mind, having power, and love, shakes the normals of society to point, persecute, and judge. By any means it is important to the ones that think they are the ruler of their own world, to shut the creative ones up, or reject them. The creative ones are not of this world. They are a different breed. They don't push anything on someone, they inform others of truth and show by their actions to go against the normal or status quo. There is a general understanding of the truth in many, but there are few who operate in truth who turn the world upside down. These people are hated for success, hated for the sole reason of their faith in Jesus Christ, being sold out to Him by Him being Lord over their thoughts and actions, and savior over their lives. They have given up their right to understand, they so not worry, but the trust in the Devine being Jesus Christ not to do life for them, but to do life with them. These people are free, forerunners that spread good news to let others know that people don't have to walk in poverty, but in blessing. As long as any man lives they have a choice to live for Jesus the Lord of the universe or live for the fallen angel Satan. Once this choice is made, when they die they have received the reward of what they did with their actions and words. There is no in between, if you say you are a creative one, but you do not operate with your actions as one, then what do your words mean. These motives you had on earth have motivated you to make choices to bring you to the point of your knees, or standing with the crowd that says "it is my life and I will do what I want to". The end of the day you may fool man, but you can never fool God. He loves us enough to let us choose to love him back.

HALLOWEEN
WHAT’S WRONG WITH HALLOWEEN?
A. THE HORRORS OF HALLOWEEN

Truth – It cheapens the value of life.
2. IT MINIMIZES THE FORCES OF EVIL AND THE DEVIL’S DEVICES.
Lie – Halloween is just harmless fantasy. The devil is only mythological and not a real being.
Truth – It trivializes dabbling in witchcraft.

Fan the flame
We are called to be servant leaders. We as the body of Christ are sons and daughters of the living God. Our focus is to honor God with our time and all our possessions. There are times where some get lazy, there are times when some will give the appearance of being great. The truth of the matter is though you can fool man all you want, but our Father is watching, and he knows your motives. We must be doers of the word out of love. Too many seek to give the appearance of "look at me I look awesome" but in reality they do nothing with the vision where they are called to be at. If love is not there what is the point? You can give lip service all you want but if you are not willing to take responsibility and grow with the knowledge and share that knowledge with others, why even show up. The kingdom of God is operating in love, so if we don't operate in love then we are missing the mark. We must fan the flame by worshiping God while being around others. If we seek to please man we will become like man, if we seek to please God by serving man, we become like Jesus. The saddest thing is when someone is given multiple opportunities to do something great, and they turn it down and run away from the opportunity giver then try to find another place of which they are asked the same thing, commitment. If you are not willing to grow but give the appearance of wanting to show, but thinking in your mind "when can I go" then why even show if you do not want to use what you know. The big thing is Jesus holds us accountable for what we know, much is required, but if we are selfish and have no desire to be around other brothers and sisters in Christ because they want you to move with them, then you might as well stay home and be alone. For we are called to participate with each other to move in prophecy, healing, and deliverance; with our actions we must glorify God at all times, others are watching to see if you really are like the Jesus you proclaim to be Lord over every thing you are.

The presence of God
If you want to stay out of trouble stay in His presence. Have a commitment to press forward. Do you have a music player, listen and worship him through out the day. Are you a believer? The Holy Spirit is right there inside you, talk to Him tell Him what your going through ask Him for help in what your doing. He longs to have a deep relationship with you. In a secular word environment? As soon as you can leave the environment play worship music. Have a passion for God, read your bible in the secret place in the morning, ask the Holy Spirit what to read. God is not boring, we make Him boring when we allow fear and other things that counterfeit time spending time with Him. His word says to honor God with all your possessions. Delight in Him an you will find rest, peace, knowing throughout the day the greater one lives in side of you. Have faith in God, acknowledge Him in everything you do. You will like a foolish one to the world, but you will be like a loving child to your daddy. Why? Because the more time with Him the more you be like Him full of joy and peace that marvels the minds of the world.

DEMONIC LEGAL RIGHTS
DEMONIC LEGAL RIGHTS
Ephesians 4:27 says “don’t give place (or opportunity) to the devil.” How do we give place to the devil?
The devil has a three prong attack on man: Legal rights, Strongholds, and Domination. This will deal with the first.
I DEFINITION OF LEGAL RIGHT: The first thing you deal with in deliverance is legal rights. You don’t go any-
where in deliverance, deal with anything, until you have dealt with legal rights. This is what
the devil was seeking in his attack on Job. You come into the world with a hedge of pro-
tection – innocence. The devil looks for something that you do or what someone else will
do that allows him to attack you. The devil knows all of the rules to get at us. We lose when
we don’t know them as well. Legal rights are the entries of evil, the ways that demons
actually enter a person. It’s how they get in. You have to deal with the “Demonic Option”. A
demon may not come in when a sin is committed, but wait and bide his time for later when
the sin is stronger. The legal right must be broken to cancel the demonic option.
A. THE “RED HERRING” ISSUES: 1. Possession/Ownership
2. Same vessel/good and evil
DEF: 1. a smoked herring. 2. Something intended to divert attention from the real problem or matter at
hand; a misleading clue. [Webster’s Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary of the English Language
© 1989]
1. RELATIONSHIP OF “POSSESSION” and “OWNERSHIP”
The “red herring” issue that possession means ownership.
DEF: 1. act or fact of possessing; 2. state of being possessed; 3. ownership; 4. Law, actual holding or
occupancy, either with or without rights of ownership. [Webster’s Encyclopedic Unabridged
Dictionary of the English Language © 1989]
QUESTION: – Does a thief own the stolen goods that he possesses; what about a library book?
Possession without ownership; without legal right:
STOLEN ITEMS
a) Shoplifting
b) Burglary
c) Car Theft/Carjacking
Possession without ownership; with legal right:
1. VEHICLES - Illustration of businessman with stolen car and rental.
a) Rentals
b) Leases
c) Commercial Vehicles
2. PROPERTY
a) Apartments / Town homes / Condos
b) Hotel
c) Business
3. APPAREL / ITEMS
a) Formal wear – Tuxedo / Ladies gown
b) Graduation robe
c) Equipment – tools / appliances / furniture
d) Borrowed items – ladder / Red Box DVD / library book
CONCLUSION: Ownership is not a requirement of possession nor is it conferred by possession.
False premise = false conclusion. If any part of a premise is false, then the conclusion will be false.
False premise: possession means ownership
False conclusion: Christians cannot be possessed by demons since they are owned by Christ.
Demons don’t need to own you to possess you; all they need is a legal right.
2. The “red herring” issue that the same vessel can’t have good and evil.
No where does the Bible say that a Christian cannot have a demon; it is falsely inferred by using
inappropriate scripture references:
Matt. 7:18 – “A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit”
This is not talking about demons but false teachers.
Matt. 12:35 – “A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil
man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things”
This is not talking about demons but the words that we speak.
James 3:11 – “Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening”
This is not talking about demons but about speaking cursing and blessing.
CONCLUSION: The Bible does not teach that Christians can’t have demons.
False premise: the same vessel…this would mean that Christ and demons are in the same place.
Man is made in the image of God; (Gen.1:27) God‘s nature is triune – three in one.
Man’s nature is tripartite – body, soul, and spirit. (1Thes. 5:23) Demons cannot
reside in a dead spirit which is the state of a non Christian; therefore they reside in
the soul part of man. When Christ is accepted by a person as their Savior, He brings
the spirit to life and that is where He and the Holy Spirit reside.
False conclusion: Christians cannot be possessed by demons since that would mean that God and
demons reside in the same place.
God and demons are not in the same part of man.
Demons are not automatically kicked out at salvation.
B. EFFECT OF THE “RED HERRING” ISSUES
1. It gives Christians a false sense of immunity from demons.
2. It masks the real issue of demonic susceptibility.
C. HOW ARE LEGAL RIGHTS OBTAINED BY DEMONS?
1. PERSONALLY CONTRACTED – by you; you opened the door. YOU SINNED!
2. GRANTED BY AUTHORITY – by Parents, School, Employment, Government, Military, etc.
II TYPES OF LEGAL RIGHTS OR ENTRIES: There are thousands of entries, but basically seven that the devil
uses most frequently. They are a combination of things that
you do and what others do. The devil doesn’t arbitrarily get
anyone. They fall into three basic categories:
A. VOLITIONAL ENTRIES – involves the will; things that you do that open you up to the demonic.
1. WILLFULL SIN – Things you’ve done in rebellion to God; a cognizant transgression against the will of
God; deliberate spiritual rebellion; you choose to defy the grace of God.
Demon of Rebellion boast: He has a legal right to everyone – Rom 3:23.
2. ADDICTION – A bondage that controls: e.g. drugs, alcohol, porn. It involves a surrender of the will.
When you neutralize the will, the devil has a legal right to enter. Through mood altered
states, one becomes subject to demons who are always looking for ways to circumvent
the will because by shutting it down, it stops the process of volitional resistance to them.
Addiction is a slow form of death. Each addiction is a potential open door.
B. SPIRITUAL ENTRIES
1. INVOLUNTARY HEREDITARY TRANSFERANCE – (Generational sins) You had no control over it;
the legal right is involuntary, the result of someone else’s actions. It’s hereditary – it
passes on through the spiritual DNA and transferred in perpetuity, generation after
generation until someone breaks it. Found in ancestral/generational curses – brought
on your life through the sins of the blood line of your family. e.g. Ex 20:5, 34:7
2. OCCULT ENTANGLEMENT/INDULGENCE – Any act of sorcery or divinations. Any of the 9 acts listed
in Deut. 18 develop a contractual obligation (covenant) to the demonic. They are
different from all other sins because they involve a contractual allegiance (legal
contract) to Satan and a cohabitation with evil. e.g. the Ouija board, horoscopes,
psychics. Salvation covers sin for eternal purposes but doesn’t break the contract
with evil of occult sins.
a) “pass through the fire” – worship of Molech: human sacrifice; also includes passing through the fire
in fire walking
b) “witchcraft” or divination – seeking to know the unknown by something outside the normal.
● It takes away the dependence on God
● It is an attack on the person of God
c) “Soothsayer” or observer of times – the devil cannot know the future. e.g. fortune teller, horoscope
d) “omen” or Enchanter – reading of something to gain an insight. e.g. reading tea leaves, tarot cards,
playing the Ouija board
e) “Sorcerer” or Witch – e.g. Harry Potter
f) “conjures spells” or Charmer – uses knots, incantations, curses, dolls for spells
g) “Medium” or Wizard – goes into trances and contacts spirits. e.g. séances, psychics
h) “Spiritist” or Wizard – calls on spirits. e.g. channeler; (games of “light as a feather”, “Bloody Mary”)
i) “Necromancer” – one who calls up the dead
C. EMOTIONAL ENTRIES
1. ABANDONMENT – The neglect, mistreatment, or abdication of responsibility by those in authority,
like parents. When one who is in spiritual control abandons their responsibility,
then this gives Satan a legal right and carte blanche authority over those who are
abandoned. The person in spiritual authority over you has the right to open the
door to the devil for you.
a) Circumstantial/Situational Abandonment – e.g. death, divorce, workaholic, severe illness or
incapacitation
b) Intentional abandonment – e.g. abuse, incest, molestation, adultery, drug addiction
c) Physical abandonment – not present physically, physical abuse
d) Emotional abandonment – e.g. verbal abuse, failure to show love and nurture
2. ABUSE – A severe shock to the mind and emotions when trauma occurs. It gives a legal right to the
devil because the built-in spiritual immunological system crashes. It causes an emotional
over-load and conflict that the mind cannot reconcile. It usually causes dissociation. To
break the legal right, not only must the core person forgive the abuser, but any fragmented
personalities created by the abuse must forgive also.
ABUSE PROCESS
a) Step 1: The physical and emotional traumatization in itself makes one vulnerable
to demonization.
b) Step 2: What happens to us when we’ve been abused. It doesn’t seem fair that
you’re the victim and you get the demon. Don’t look for cosmic justice.
The devil doesn’t play fair. He loves to victimize victims. Abuse can lead
to the development of a root of bitterness and sometimes proceed to full
blown hatred, rage and murder.
3. SOUL TIES – An emotional tie with other persons created through family or close association and
friendship in situations of romance or employment. In employment, they can be created
with a supervisor or subordinate due to the issue of legal authority. They are a doorway
for curses and demons.
Be aware of the connection between curses and demons. Demons carry curses; that’s how the evil is worked out in a person’s life. If you have a curse working in your life, then you have a demon that carries it. Christians can not only have demons, but they can be cursed also – no immunity there. Be alert to evil activities that may come from curses. We will study curses in a later teaching.

Prayer of Petition
We can come boldly before the throne of God and remind Him of His word like a lawyer reminds a judge in court of past cases. The keyword is to construct. We can make petitions based on the known will of God. Say, "I know what I am going to get what I ask God for" (see I John 5:14). Do research by finding scripture to see where in the bible are the promises that back up what you ask for. Presenting the word of God back to God puts things in motion and it will not return void (see Isaiah 55:11). We have to be obedient to God for the blessing works when were (see Deuteronomy 28). If we repent and overcome and start walking in the way God wants us to live then things will start working out (see Psalm 25:7, Psalm 35:7, Deuteronomy 29:9, Psalm 122:6, 3 John 2, Philippians 4:14, Philippians 4:19, Job 36:11, Psalm 1:1-3, Psalm 3:8, Proverbs 10:32, 2 Chronicles 26:5). He has given us power to gain wealth as it talks about in Deuteronomy; We must pray where to so seed (see Psalm 20:1 and Psalm 118:25). He will never forget a seed sown. We must write this prayer down so when the voices say no way it can't be done, we can pull it out and say "it is written". A witness can also have a copy for them to stand in agreement with you according to Matthew 18:19. It looks like a legal document before the throne of God.
Here is an example of a Prayer of Petition for Finances:
Be it Known this day, ____________, _______(am/pm), I receive a heavenly grant in the amount of
$________________, Father, in the name of Jesus, I come boldly to the throne of grace and present Your Word.
According to John 16:23, Jesus said "I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, that My Father will grant you whatever you ask in My Name,"(AMP).
Jesus, You said in Mark 11:24, "Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) thatit is granted you, and you will [get it]," (AMP)
Your Word states in Luke 6:38 "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give unto your bosom." In accordance with Your Word, I give and I sow seed, in order ti set this spiritual law to work in my behalf.
Because I am "a cheerful (joyous, 'prompt to do it') giver [whose heart is in his giving]" You make "all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to me in abundance, so that O am always and under all circumstances and whatever the need self-sufficient [possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation]" (2 Cor. 9:7-8, with personal paraphrase)
According to Matthew 18:18, I bind Satan and all his forces, and I render them helpless and unable to operate against me. They will not hinder my grant.
According to Hebrews 1:13-14, I loose the ministering spirits, and I charge them to go forth and cause my grant to come into my hands.
