Spiritual Turning Point

Play

Pastor Pat Holliday says, “Christians receive their authority from Jesus Christ because He has the authority to issue warrants because all are provided with power and authority in Him. Jesus’ power is always greater.”

People can be free; why do we find so many Christians’ living in spiritual bondage?

Pastor Holliday thinks that many Christians do not believe that Satan is real and do not find a need to address the issue of demonic slavery. The few Christians’ who will tell you the truth are accused by the religiously controlled people saying, “All she/he talks about demons.”

Many religious Christians believe we should ignore the Devil and just praise Jesus. I don’t know what Bible they are reading but I see a different story. If you read the Old Testament, you’ll see that God’s people were not passive … they fought to keep what God gave to them.

Look at the story of Asa:

“Then Asa went out against him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah. 11 And Asa cried unto the Lord his God, and said, Lord, it is nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power: help us, O Lord our God; for we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude. O Lord, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee.12 So the Lord smote the Ethiopians before Asa and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled. 13 And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them unto Gerar: and the Ethiopians were overthrown, that they could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before the Lord, and before his host; and they carried away very much spoil.” (2 Chron 14:10-13).

BURN OR DESTROY IT

In the Book of Acts, is the story about the seven sons of Sceva. (Acts 19:16),“And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.” Then, we find in verse 17, “This became known to all who lived in Ephesus, both Jews and Greeks, and alarm and terror fell upon them all; and the name of the Lord JESUS was extolled and magnified”. 18 “Many also of those who were now Believers came making full confession and thoroughly exposing their [former deceptive and evil] practices. 19 And many of those who had practiced curious, magical arts collected their books and [throwing them, book after book, on the pile] BURNED THEM in the sight of everybody .” This is the scripture that Christians use for “book burnings” “record burnings,” etc.

Note they BURNED the books. We’re talking New Testament here. Why didn’t they just bind up or cast out the demons in these books? The Satanic anointing on these types of books will retain their unholy persuasions and draw others to read them and capture their souls. Evil spirits cling to these unholy things. Some of you have artifacts from Africa, India, etc., where these artifacts are offered up to their gods, many pray demons into these artifacts and they sell them. People tell me that they bind up the demons or cast them out of the artifacts but the Bible says give no place to the Devil; God says to destroy them. I’ve heard many testimonies of severe problems caused by these idols (including dolls, rock and roll albums, jewelry, etc.).

Some Accursed Objects Part one

Statues and pictures such as, stuffed animals, owls, frogs, unicorns, horseshoes; items from other countries such as Africa, China, Japan; American Indian artifacts, carvings, pictures, Buddha statutes are some examples of accursed objects. The popular goose with the blue ribbon around its neck is an Egyptian god found on kitchen canisters, curtains, paper towels, plates, baskets. Dolls and stuffed animals – dolls originated in voodoo. Paisley patterns on anything can be considered accursed. Moreover, Nike is a Greek god, according to the dictionary.

Many objects will bring a spirit of infirmity with them, such as, owls, dolls, frogs, collections, unicorns, pictures of movie stars, horseshoes, Some items passed down from ancestors, shamrocks, Any kind of good luck charm, statues, Oriental objects, African items, Indian items, American Indian items, Any items that are used in worship of false gods and witchcraft, The Book of Mormon, Satanic Bible, Books on other religions, rock and roll music, etc. As stated above, pray and ask the Lord what you need to destroy. The word of God says that he who seeks shall find.

Jesus said Occupy till I come

Play

In the parable of the ten pounds given to the ten servants, with the command, ‘Occupy till I come,’ Jesus makes it clear that if we use what He gives,He will give us more. However, if we fail to use what He has given, He will take away from us what He has already given. Luke 19:11-27. We must make use of the authority delegated to us and the ability to exercise more.

Before these words were addressed to the church, they were addressed to Israel. And the church, like Israel, has been chosen of God to be a light of salvation to the unsaved.

“ But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light: 10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. 11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; 12 Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation,” — 1 Peter 2:9-12.
