The Issues of Life with Dr. David Shamenda

HOW CAN ONE WALK IN THE SPIRIT WITHOUT FULFILLING THE LAST OF THE FLESH?

DELIVERANCE IS THE KEY. ARE YOU IN BONDAGE TODAY? JESUS WILL SET YOU FREE.

In deliverance. the believer surrenders to the authority of Jesus CHRIST

Deliverance, in a spiritual sense, refers to being free from bondage, oppression, or any form of captivity through the supernatural power of GOD

Are you planting the churches with the Apostolic mindset, allowing God through the empowerment of the Holy Spirit to take over the church?

In seeking the face of God, it is essential to have the passion and hunger for church planting and understand the wisdom to grow the church. To keep a healthy church, one needs a healthy spiritual mindset of prayer.

Why is it important to understand the principles of church planting? In this Discussion, Bishop Maloney and I are discussing the importance of church planting>

The Bible says to hate what is evil (Romans 12:9), but if you do what is evil, you should be afraid (Romans 13:4). In this session, we will be discussing the importance of running away from evil under all circumstances. God will never fail to deliver anyone who calls upon His name. The Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ>

Once, Samuel Smiles said hope is the companion of power, the mother of success, for those who so hope strongly have within them the gifts of miracles. This very moment choose deliverance. God is able to set you free>

Paul advocated this when he said, walk in the spirit. He contends for voluntary service as against enforced spiritual obedience as against mere living by rule

Every human being must be given definite and positive duties to fulfill if he is to be saved from evil thoughts, habits, and passions. This is true both in the body, mind and soul.

Choose deliverance. Why? Twofold nature of man; man's nature presents two sides. On the other hand, the body, with all its physical needs, desires, and impulses on the hand, that nature distinguishes us human beings from the animal kingdom.

Why deliverance? Deliverance from bondage is the answer everyone is looking for. Deliverance from sin and fresh. Deliverance from the love of the world. Deliverance from the evil one and the devil and his evil fallen angels.

Offense and unforgiveness are very unhealthy, they stunt one's spiritual growth and keep one from moving forward with what God has purposed for you>

People who suffer from the spirit of offense carry a spirit of deception, believing that evil reports are correct to give in order to destroy someone's reputation.

The spirit of offense is so demonic that people who have this spirit fail to function normally. People who suffer from bitterness react because of past personal hurts.

In the spirit of offense, do I let my emotions have free reign and let my anger have its way when someone ticks me off and fails to restrain my words whenever I feel slightly offended? Do I genuinely wish harm to people who don't do what I want or disagree with me?

Do I go on an all-out verbal assault on anyone who dares to question or criticize me, assassinate the person's character, and start acting like a prosecuting attorney? Then you must know you're suffering from the spirit of offense

The Spirit of Offense is enslaving and unkind; it ties the victims into past bondage, and it continues to pile on grievances that are past and forgotten. It makes them new. The victims of the Spirit of offense don't know how to rejoice and look to the mercies of The Lord. The mercies of The Lord are new every morning, and they never cease.

It is crucial to guide ourselves from the spirit of offense. Offenses left unrestrained lead to anger and resentment, and perhaps you end up murdering or destroying your own life.remember Cain, Joseph's brothers, Saul, the Pharisees and religious leaders, Herodias, etc.

Nothing is more intoxicating to some people than the sip of authority, which deceives people who are walking offended and makes them more respected, temper begins to control people and get them into trouble and pride keeps them there. The spirit of offense is destructive. Always remember life is what you make it until someone makes it worse.

One of the true test of a man's character is not what he does in the light, but what he does in the darkness when tantrums flares and offense takes over.

The Spirit of offense brings:Bitterness: One is reacting because of personal hurts.Rebellion: Justifying an independent spirit.Deception: Believing that evil reports are correct to give.Pride: Want to exalt self.Guilt: Justifying past actions or attitudes.Envy: Desiring what another has.

The problem now becomes about what you see, missing the beauty and the things that God wants you to see. Once offense attaches itself to your vision, you become bombarded by everything you see. You begin to see things as if they are something they are not. Every post, every picture, every action is something that you see as a direct attack against you.

It will be proper to consider the principles of those offenses that hinder the propagation of the gospel of truth and the wrongs that interfere with relationships with people around you. Divisions, contentions, and animosities among Christians, arising from pride, a desire for dominion, and building matters of an uncertain nature and human invention upon Christ's foundation.

When offense takes root, your mind is the first place it's coming after. The moment offense attaches itself to your mind, the ability to have clarity and peace is diminished, as everything now becomes about feeding every thought that is only directed at the hurt through offense.
