After Deliverance – How to Walk Out and Keep Your Freedom

(Please learn to do our own Bible Studies like this one – here)

How to walk out and keep your deliverance and freedom Jesus bought and that you experienced. How to live a full and obedient disciple-life.

Jesus warned that the spirits will try to come back – even stronger than before (Matt 12:43-45, Luke 11:24-26).

How do we then keep them out?

1. Identify the attacking enemy

Do your best to identify the names of the spirits that came out during deliverance. You can identify this by what actually happened in terms of demons saying their names and by sensing where there is freedom now that wasn’t there before. And you can identify more areas where you need to do self-deliverance or get more deliverance through others in the list below:

It could be areas of: fear, phobias, anger, unforgiveness, bitterness, depression, suicide, anxiety, counterfeit spiritual gifts, OCD, rebellion, substance addictions, disobedience, pride, lust (all kinds of sexual sins), destruction, violence, greed, ridicule, racism, jealousy, sicknesses caused by demons (can for instance be (can also just be physical): asthma, allergies, schizophrenia, headaches, dizziness, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis etc.), distorted sexual identity, self-pity, religion, condemnation, self-harm, accusation, lying, confusion, stealing, day-dreaming, fault-finding, fear of man, unbelief, and similar.

2. Understand the spiritual battle

We are in a spiritual war. We cannot choose not to be. Where do we then fight this war?

We go to war on several fronts

1. Spiritual battle against demons
   1. He we need to be knowing and using our authority in Christ
   2. This is real and necessary: 1/3 of the miracles of Christ were deliverances
2. Battle of our mind, brain, soul, emotions, will, choice
   1. Identity: I AM a child of God, completely forgiven and loved – and free and commanded to do all that Jesus and His disciples did
   2. Self-discipline & self-control: 1. Tim. 1:7: God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.
   3. Taking thoughts captive and choosing to think of what is good & right
3. Battle of our physical body
   1. Eating and exercising well

3. Assess the damage

Now that demons who from the inside of you have caused destruction and negative thought patterns and who have tried to interweave themselves with your personality, have been identified and cast out, we need to wake up and:

1. Know that we ourselves – each one of us – has authority over the enemy
   1. Jesus said in Luke 10:19: I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy.
   2. USE IT yourself to command all evil to go – to leave!
2. Now, after deliverance, as well as before deliverance, you need to also cleanse and brainwash your brain white, pure, holy – break the bad negative thought habits and thought patterns that the enemy has built by having access to your thought life.
   1. We need to genuinely hate sin, confess it, and repent from it (repenting means thinking differently = correctly), and we need to turn from it to Jesus in faith and desperation expecting to find freedom.

4. Truth – our weapon against lies

Key and very important Scriptures

Colossians 3:1-3
1 If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. 2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

Romans 12:1-2
1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

2 Corinthians 10:3-6
3 For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 6 And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete.

Philippians 4:8-9
8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

5. Grow in maturity and break bad habits

What is the situation and how do we become mature in this?

How do we do this?

This is the ladder: From thoughts to lifestyle

1. You think it – then you
2. Do it – then you
3. Form a habit – then you
4. Get a direction and a lifestyle

The truth is. Our thoughts are inspired by Satan or God, us or other people. The Bible – the Word of God helps us know what is from God, us and the enemy! For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. 13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account. (Hebrews 4:12-13)

What to do?

1. Realize – you have been given free will as a gift from God. You are responsible to use it. You have enough free will to say no to almighty God! And the devil! And people! And your own bad habitual brain patterns. And you need to not let your thoughts drift where-ever they go. You need to get mature.
2. So: Take your clear mature responsibility for your thoughts. Take control and ownership of your thoughts. Bring them under captivity in obedience to Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5).
3. Stop letting your mind be thinking about certain things – also even commanding any demons hiding in you or coming from the outside and tempting you.
4. Look to the cross of Jesus to stop self-pity or other deep hurt creating excuses for you to allow yourself to sin.
5. Stop accepting that you are reacting in ways that you used to react.
6. Stop following the normal non-Jesus, non-Bible patterns of thinking and behavior that you are used to – find out what the truth is – and set your mind on choosing to think on that.
7. This will help you to truly break bad habits.
8. Meditate = think about what is true.
9. To take ownership and take responsibility and to change your bad thinking habits is true maturity and it exposes and helps drive out the demonic, it gives them no food, leaves them starving until they simply have no power over your thought life.
10. Now that you have submitted to God and repented – use your authority to command every demon by the name of the temptation (lust, self-pity, rejection, anger, bitterness, accusation etc.) to go.

This is repentance and turning from sin.

6. Live out the Christian lifestyle

The Christian lifestyle – we need to live out

Practical to do’s as an original “normal” Bible level disciple which will keep you in freedom

Please see what a disciple is and does according to the Bible – the Word of God, here:

7. Fill your mind with truth

Finding the truth to fill your mind with that is the opposite of the sins, functions and names of the demons that identified themselves during your deliverance

Please be obedient and take action on this. Print out these verses and put them on your mirror, on the background of your phone, play them with sound, read them and think about them, pray them out loud to God. This will help establish new and true thought patterns in your life.

Meditate = fill your mind with the truths of God from the Word of God – the Bible. This will help you to “from now on sin no more” as Jesus said several times in the Bible after healings and deliverances.

8. Go and sin no more

GO AND SIN NO MORE – so something worse will not happen to you

John 5:14 & John 8:11 & Matt 12:43-45

James 4:7: Submit yourselves to God – resist the devil – and he will flee from you.

All of these Scriptures correspond to the verse where Jesus said: “If the demons come back to the house – will they not find it clean and swept and ready to move into – and 7 worse demons will move in?”

So how do we have a clean house that is not empty and ready for the demons to move in? We decide to “rebel” against our “rights” to rebel against the love of God. We use truth, repentance, responsibility, action, and authority. We ensure all legal access rights through our own sin, or ancestral sin or curses are broken. We fill it with obedience to the loving truths of the Word of God and we proactively run into the burning red hot relational real friendship love of our Daddyo, and we fill it with voluntary chosen holy actions on those truths (against all lies). This is how we stand firm on our deliverance and how we avoid going back to the old sins and getting the same or worse demons back. We now live obedient to our calling.
