Healing and Miracles. Are you struggling to
get free from sickness and disease? Are you dealing with a
past addiction that no matter what you do, you
just seem to not be able to get free from
it? You know what? You could be very well
dealing with a familiar spirit. Let's talk about this.
What is a familiar spirit? A familiar spirit
is actually a demon. It's a demon of bondage. And when we hear
the word familiar, what do we hear?
We hear the word family. And I'm telling you, a
familiar spirit becomes like a family member. It becomes actually closer
than a family member. So, I'm going to teach
you about this today. And I believe it's going
to help many of you get free, because you know
what the Bible says, the truth sets us free. Sometimes it
hurts to know. It hurts to hear, but
it is always freeing. And so, I like dealing
with the truth and I love the Word of God because
it's truthful and it's freeing. It delivers us from those
things that hold us in bondage. So, we
are going to discuss this familiar spirit.
And perhaps it is what's holding your
healing back or your deliverance back,
a familiar spirit. Let's go through some
of the things about a familiar spirit.
And I think this is going to help you a lot. You know, when how
would we recognize that unfamiliar spirit was
actually even entangled with us or attached to us? How would we know that we
were under attack from the familiar spirit? Let's look at sickness
and disease as an example. And I do that because I
think it's an easy example to visualize. You have someone
in your family, and they are sick, and
people have prayed and prayed and prayed
and prayed and prayed. And you know what? They just don't
seem to get better. And you know what? Sometimes people don't
even want to get free. But let's talk
about this familiarity, this familiar spirit
with sickness and disease. Some of the telltale signs
that that you are that you are entangled with this
familiar spirit would be, no matter what you
do, your life revolves. It totally revolves around
that familiar spirit. Everything you do
revolves around that sickness or that disease. No matter what
you're doing, no matter who
you're speaking to, the conversation always
revolves around the same thing, the same
issue, the sickness, and the disease. No matter how people try
to change the subject, you go back to
the same topic, that sickness
and that disease. You know what? You don't go anywhere
without consulting that disease. First you think, what? How do you do that? You check in on the inside
of yourself and your work tell-tale signs of it is
you constantly respond, well, I can't do this
because I have to do this because of the
sickness and disease. You have to do this
thing in that thing, your life. It totally revolves that
sickness and disease is always the center of
everything you do. And you know what?
That's not right. God is to be your center. But what happens with the
familiar spirit when it comes to
sickness and disease, that sickness,
actually death, throne's God from his
place in your life? Do you hear
what I'm saying? This is very serious.
It's a serious topic. And, you know, we
usually don't like to talk like this, but in
order to get free, we have to look at things
truthfully and the truth will set us free.
And that's what we want. We want freedom from
that sickness and the disease. But you have to
look at things truthfully, truthfully. I'm telling you, you know,
that sickness and that disease better than
the medical field. In fact, you could be the
one giving instruction to those medical students
about this sickness and disease. You know what? Like, you know, the
back of your hand. Everything in life
revolves around that disease. I'm telling
you; you don't go anywhere. You don't speak about
anything else because that sickness and disease and
it always is the center of the of attention and it
always demands the center of attention in
your life and. You know, you are you
have become familiar, so familiar with it that
you are so comfortable with it, you are very
comfortable with this spirit and this is
not what we want. We don't want
to be familiar. We don't want that
familiar spirit. We don't want that
familiar spirit like it's a comfortable pet. But it also but it so
oftentimes becomes that way, especially when
you're dealing with, like long term
sickness and disease. And it seems like these
people just don't get free. That person may seriously
be dealing with a familiar spirit and not
even be aware of it. How sad is that? But, you know, when you
become so intimate with this familiar spirit, when
it comes to this sickness and disease, it's a spirit
that's latched on and the disease, the
sickness or the disease, it's just a weapon that
it uses. But you're actually being controlled
by a familiar spirit. And we want to
break free from this. Right? We want total freedom. We don't want to
be in bondage. We're Christians. I'm
speaking to Christian people. You don't want to be in
bondage to Satan and his wicked works. You
don't want to be in bondage to a familiar spirit. I'm telling you, when you
become enslaved to that familiar spirit,
what happens with you? What happens to
you, that sickness, that disease it dethrones
or that familiar spirit it did throne's God from
his place in your life. And I'm telling you the
truth. And you're going to have to examine your own
heart and be truthful with yourself between
you and God. Is this what I'm
struggling with? Are you struggling
with a familiar spirit? And, you know, when we
look at it this way in and so, you know, getting
to the foundation of the whole thing, we don't like
it and we shouldn't like it. And that's a good
thing if we don't. But I'm telling you,
that familiar spirit, the throne's God from his
place in your heart and that sickness and disease,
that familiar spirit of it takes God's place in your
life and you become so intimate with
that disease. I'm telling you; you
know that disease better than, you know,
a family member. You know that sickness
and disease better than, you know, your spouse. You know that sickness
and disease more than, you know, God. You know that sickness
and disease and all the workings of that sickness
and disease better than, you know, the Word
of God. These are telltale signs that you are
in bondage to a familiar spirit. And I know that a
lot of these things happen to us when we are unaware
of what's going on. I don't believe any
believer; any Christian intentionally goes
out and gets entangled with the familiar spirit. I think it comes upon
us out of ignorance, but it's time to shed
light on that ignorance so that we can deal
with it and get free. God wants his people free. And that's what we're
talking about today, getting free from
a familiar spirit. But before we can
get free from it, we need to
recognize what it is, because you know
what I haven't heard too much about?
A familiar spirit went when I was newly born again. And in all the years
before I went into the ministry, I never
heard anybody speak of a familiar spirit,
especially when it came to sickness and disease. But it's time now to speak
the truth so that you can get free from that
long-time sickness and disease or that lifetime. Habit that you have
not been able to break, it's a familiar spirit
that's been holding you in bondage and God
is saying to you, "My child, it's time to get
free. 'And whom the Son sets free is free indeed.'"

BD: Welcome back to Empowered for
Healing and Miracles. Today, we're talking about
overcoming a familiar spirit, and I've been
teaching you how to recognize a familiar
spirit has control over you. And it's important to know
in order to get free from something, we need to know
what we're dealing with. And some of this what
I'm sharing with you just seems to be so basic, but
it's very enlightening. It's very its
very truth bearing. And I believe this
truth will set us free, has set us free from
the bondage of lifelong sickness and disease or
a lifelong addiction, a lifelong sin
issue in your life. You know, sometimes people
don't get free is because they are dealing
with a familiar spirit. And that familiar spirit,
like I said in the first session, the familiar
spirit is a demon of bondage and God does
not want his people in bondage. And you
know what? I don't think there's any of us that
wills to be in bondage. And like I said, most
people are become enslaved to a familiar
spirit out of ignorance. It's not something
you set out to do. It's just something that
happens. And because you've not
been taught it before. But it's time now to
break free from this. Let's look at some of
the ways that a familiar spirit will
latch onto people, onto his victim. And the first thing I
have written down in my notes is a
generational curse. A generational curse is a
curse that's passed down from one generation to
another to another to another. And an example of this
would be like breast cancer. It's something
that's in the family. It passes down from one
family member to another to another. It's a
generational curse. And that when
you're dealing with a generational curse, like a
sickness and disease that passes from one
generation to the next, you're dealing with a
familiar spirit and it's time to cut the head
off of that snake, off of that demonic spirit, off
of that familiar spirit, because you want to be
free and God wants you free another way.
And there's certainly not topics that you hear
very often coming out of the pulpit.
But I sure wish we would hear about these
things, things that really make a difference
and change people's lives. Another way that a
familiar spirit enters into people is
through social ties. What do I mean
by social ties? Social ties come
from having sexual relationships
with other people, whether in marriage or
outside of marriage. And, and so we want to
look at this issue because we don't want to be in
bondage because of past social ties.
We want to break free from all forms of bondage, especially a soul tie. You
want it. You want to you want to eliminate that
from your life. You want to get set free
from it in the Name of Jesus. And that's the only way
you're going to do it. You need
deliverance from it. If you've been
involved, say, especially in today's
world where the sexual scenes are just running
rampant and they're getting more and more
perverse as the days go on and we need to be free. We need to spiritually
cleanse ourselves. You know what? God's people, the
people of the church, the church, we need to
get spiritually cleansed. We need a spiritual bath. And the way we're going
to get a spiritual bath, the only way you get clean
spiritually is by the process of repentance. And so, if you've
been sleeping around, I'm telling you, you don't
hear this stuff from the pulpit, do you? It sure would be nice if
they'd even offer a class in private about it. But people need to hear
the truth so they can stop running around with the
familiar spirit and get free from this garbage of
Satan and his wicked works. We need freedom in
the church today. And had people been
speaking about these issues, about sexual sins
and the spiritual dangers, the spiritual side
of sexual things, not only, you know,
walking in sin and in eternal damnation and all
that stuff of unrepentant sin and turning yourself
over to a reprobate mind. But also, there are other
spiritual consequences of entering into the world's
game of sexual sins. And it's a dangerous
game. It's a deadly game. And one of the
things that happens is in a social tie is that
you take on the spirit, the spirits that that are
controlling that other person through
that sexual contact that you have, you
actually you actually take into your body the demons,
the spirits that that person has. That's
called a soul tie. And, you know, none of us
can undo the past except Jesus by his redemptive
blood that is shed its all-powerful blood.
There's nothing more powerful than the
blood in the Name of Jesus. Nothing. Nothing
is greater than it. Not even soul ties.
Not even demons. Not even unfamiliar
spirits. You need to cut that off through the
power of repentance. You know what? In
these last days, the Lord, I'm a healing evangelist
and I go all around the world in the United
States as well, from church to church
to church to church. And I just minister, I
have healing conferences. I see amazing miracles. But I'm telling you, there
is a message that God does not release me from
to tell the people and it's repent. I
can't say it enough. Repent, repent, repent,
repent of sexual sins. So right now, we are going to
do that together right now. Right now, in
the Name of Jesus, Father, God forgive
us of all sexual sins, all of it in the
Name of Jesus. And we break all social
ties of familiar spirits and whatever else is
involved in all of this. But we start with this
familiar spirit of this other person, whether
the person was raped or whatever it is, or
just willingly had sexual relationships
outside of marriage, whatever it is, and
or being involved in pornography, whatever
that sexual sin was, we just pray a
prayer of repentance. Father, God forgive your
people right now and you make it personal
and say, Father, God forgive me,
make it personal, personalize it, say,
Father God, forgive me, forgive
me. And in the Name of Jesus,
I renounce the soul tied to so-and-so. I
renounce it. I renounce it. I renounced
the social ties, I don't want the demons
that come with these people, I want freedom. And
then you know what? God is faithful.
He is faithful and just to forgive you of all
and righteousness. And that's the
beauty of the Lord. He is so faithful to these
soldiers and he is so willing to forgive you and
to give you a fresh start today. And then with
that fresh start, not only do you need to
repent, but you also need to renew your
mind with the Word of God, renew your mind, allow
years, allow your soul, your mind and your
emotions. Allow them to be renewed, transformed
by the Word of God. It's time to break free. God
wants his people free. Remember, He's coming for
a church without spot or wrinkle and he wants
you free today, amen. And that's good news. That's
glorious news. And that's something to give a shout
of praise to. Amen. And I'm telling
you, you can be free. You can be free from
this familiar spirit. You don't have to put
up with it anymore. You don't have to
put up with it. Within the area
of addictions, you can break free. You
can break free from lifelong sicknesses and disease. Now, in the name of Jesus,
you don't have to be in bondage. Today's your day. It's your day to break
free from this familiar spirit. And so, you just pray in
faith and you renew your mind and your emotions
in the word of God. We will be right back
and continue on with this message.

BD: Welcome back to Empowered for
Healing and Miracles, we've been talking about
a tough subject today about overcoming a
familiar spirit, and we've been
dealing with some pretty heavy issues, a lifelong
sickness or disease that you in bondage to that
that has actually replaced that sickness and disease,
has dethroned God in your life without even
knowing it, because these things happen
out of our ignorance. We don't, we don't
mean as Christians. We don't mean, we don't
purpose in our hearts to dethrone God from the
highest place in our hearts. But these things happen,
and they happen kind of slowly. And that's
how the enemy works. These very sly. He's tricky.
He's called that old serpent, that serpent of old.
And he's sly and he's trick- and any and
he's a trickster. He tricks you into things
and you start doing things you would never
have done before. But he's a deceiver and
that's what he's all about to steal, to kill and to destroy
us, all of us. And he finds
whichever opening he can. And so if you are dealing
with a lifelong sickness and disease, you need to
repent and of a familiar spirit and you need to
denounce that and you need to renew your mind with
the word of God or if you're in having trouble
in it with addiction, whether it's drugs and
alcohol or pornography or whatever it would be
in the name of Jesus, you can break free
from all of that today. You don't have to
linger in, linger with this familiar spirit. God
wants you to be free. He truly does. And he will.
He is there for you through the whole
process. And, you know, it doesn't have to be a long
dragged out process. You can just say from your
heart because you know what? I believe most
deliverances just happened between you and God
when you're born again. So much comes off of
that new believer. But as you get
into the word of God, it releases healing power. It transforms you from
the inside to the outside. And you will find the more
you're in the word of God, the more time you spend
with God, the more time you start actually living
out God's Word. You will see such
transformation and that desire for
those old things, those old addictions, all
of that that old lifestyle that will
break off of you, that power will
break off of you. And so, let's get free. I taught you how I
told you what it was. I taught you
the signs of it, how it can enter into you. And now it's time for
you to put your faith in action and do
what you know to do, do what you know needs
to be done in the Name of Jesus and break that
bondage in your life. Break it off of
you and say no more. No more. Will I walk
no more? Will I wallow with the pigs? No more.
No more. Am I going to wallow
around in the mud with Satan and his demons and
his demonic activities? No more. I want all of God. I want freedom. I want to be happy. I want to be joyful. And so, let's pray right now.
[Praying in Tongues] [Praying in Tongues] [Tongues] [Tongues] "And the Spirit of God would
say to you, my son, my daughter, I love
you, I love you with an everlasting love. I do not condemn
you; I convict you, and I convict you to change. And I say it's
time to clean up, it's time to take that
spiritual bath in the power of my redemptive blood
and fear not, because I will never
leave you and I will never forsake you. I will
not abandon you. I am a good God
and I love you. I love you with an
everlasting love. A love that is not
based upon your behavior. It is not based
upon what you do, or you don't do
or what you say, or you don't do. I love you with an
everlasting love and my love for you changes not. You are the one that
has moved away from me, but my arms are
wide open for you. And I say, Come, come back
to Me and I receive you with arms wide open
and I say to you, be not afraid,
be not afraid. I will be with you
through every step of this transformation, of this
deliverance in your life. You can trust me, and I will
be faithful and true to you." And that's a Word
of the Lord for you. Now, in my heart, I
sense there are men. That are dealing with
problems with pornography and God wants to
deliver you and you, you say I've been
trying and trying Will. It's that familiar
spirit. It's a demon that is holding you in
bondage to that sin. And that's what it is. Sin. You have replaced God. You have replaced
him with a demon. And I'm praying right now,
as odd as you might think it is, I'm praying
for you right now, sir, that you will see
that demon for what it really is. It's demonic. It's it is not a beautiful, it's not a beautiful
woman or whatever. It is not it's demon. It's a demon clothed
in a spirit of lust. And it's out to steal, to
kill and to destroy you. Let's face it, it's
already ruined your intimacy with God. It's ruined your
intimacy with your wife. It's ruined so
much in your life. And God is saying to you,
it is time to get free, free. You want freedom,
God wants you free. And you don't want to
pass this on to your sons and daughters.
That familiar spirit, you need to cut it off
right now. God expects that of you. And He's
coming back for a bride. The church that is
without spot or wrinkle. You get rid of that
sin issue in your life. And the only way to do it
is with the spot remover, the supernatural spot remover, which is the blood of Jesus. I mean, you cleanse
yourself in the blood of Jesus and the
all powerful, redemptive blood of Jesus. You get free and you
get rid of that wrinkle. And that's meaning that
old man that you've been carrying around
that old ways, the old sinful
manner, God says, get it off of you,
get it off of you. There's no more time
to be playing around. He knows what's
really going on. You're not fooling anyone. You're not fooling anyone. An unrepentant sin turns
into a reprobate mind. Now, reprobate mind is
rejected by God and you don't want that. So,
you repent of it today. Say, Father, God forgive
me now and I receive your forgiveness.
Holy Spirit teach me a new way in the
Name of Jesus to break free today. And so, I know this
has been a very strong message, but it's a
freeing message and it's time for the church
to get free today. [Music]
I'll see you next week. Same time, same place. God bless you! [Music]
