Pastor Tim encourages us this week to let God have our past and all the offenses that come with it. To forgive those that have hurt us. With out forgiveness occurring in our lives we are preventing our own freedom from occurring.

This week’s scripture references (all verses quoted in New King James Version unless noted):

- 2 Corinthians 2:10-11
– Matthew 18:34-35
– Luke 6:36
– Ephesians 4:31-32
– Hebrews 10:17
– Psalm 103:12
– Romans 2:4
– Matthew 18:35
– Matthew 5:23-24
– Ephesians 4:26-27

The following are a few key points from this weeks teaching:

• - Forgetting may be a result of forgiveness, but it is never the means of forgiveness.
  • When we bring up the past against others, we haven’t forgiven them.
• - Your need to forgive isn’t an issue between you and the offender; it’s between you and God
• - Forgiveness is agreeing to live with the consequences of another person’s sin.

Ask God to bring to your mind those you need to forgive.

Statements of Truth (Read aloud on a consistent basis)

I recognize that there is only one true and living God.  Exodus 20:2-3, Who exists as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and that He is worthy of all honor, praise, and worship as the Creator, Sustainer, the Beginning and the End of all things.  Revelation 4:11, Revelation 5:9-10, Isaiah 43:1, 7, 21

I recognize Jesus Christ as the Messiah, the Word who became flesh and dwelt among us.  John 1:1, 14, I believe that He came to destroy the works of Satan.  1 John 3:8,  He disarmed the rulers and authorities and made a public display of them, having triumphed over them.  Colossians 2:15

I believe that God has proven His love for me, because when I was still a sinner Christ died for me.  Romans 5:8, I believe that He delivered me from the domain of darkness and transferred me to His kingdom, and in Him I have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.  Colossians 1:13-14

I believe that I am now a child of God.  1 John 3:1-3, I believe that I am seated with Christ in the heavenlies.  Ephesians 2:6, I believe that I was saved by the grace of God through faith, that it was a gift and not the result of any works on my part. Ephesians 2:8,

I choose to be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Ephesians 6:10. I put no confidence in the flesh, Philippians 3:3, The weapons of my warfare are not of the flesh.  2 Corinthians 10:4. I put on the whole armor of God.  Ephesians 6:10-17,  I resolve to stand firm in my faith and resist the evil one.

I believe that Jesus has all authority in heaven and on earth, Matthew 28:18, and that He is the head over all rule and authority.  Colossians 2:10.

I believe that Satan and his demons are subject to me in Christ because I am a member of Christ’s body. Ephesians 1:19-23, I therefore obey the command to resist the devil, James 4:7, and I command him in the name of Jesus to leave my presence.

I believe that apart from Christ I can do nothing, John 15:5,so I declare my dependence on Christ.  I choose to abide in Christ in order to bear much fruit and glorify the Lord.  John 15:8, I announce to Satan that Jesus is my Lord, 1 Corinthians 12:3. and I reject Satan in my life.

I believe that the truth will set me free, John 8:23,and that walking in the light is the only path of fellowship. 1 John 1:7. Therefore, I stand against Satan’s deception by taking every thought captive in obedience to Christ.  2 Corinthians 10:5.I declare that the Bible is the only authoritative standard.  2 Timothy 3:15-17, I choose to speak the truth in love. Ephesians 4:15,

I choose to present my body as an instrument of righteousness, a living and holy sacrifice, and renew my mind by the Word of God in order that I may prove that the will of God is good, acceptable and perfect.  Romans 6:13, Romans 12:1-2,

I ask my heavenly Father  to fill me with His Holy Spirit, Ephesians 5:18,to lead me in all truth John 16:13, and to empower my life so that I may live above sin and not carry out the desires of the flesh.  Galatians 5:16. I crucify the flesh and walk by the spirit.  Galatians 5:24.

I renounce all selfish goals and choose the ultimate goal of love. 1 Timothy 1:5 I choose to obey the greatest commandment, to love the Lord my God with all my heart, soul, and mind, and to love my neighbor as myself.  Matthew 22:37-39.

Have you made a declaration in your life to push away Satan and his deceptive ways. Pastor Tim challenges us to be intentional about our life and resist the things that are not of God. Pastor Tim often recites a quip, “The most troubling thing about deception is that it’s deceiving” Be on your guard trust your life in Christ and protect your mind from the Deceiver.

This week’s scripture references (all verses quoted in New King James Version unless noted):

- 1 John 1:5-7
- Luke 11:23
- John 14:6
- 2 Corinthians 11:3-4

Below are some excerpts and guides from this weeks teaching to help you renounce Satan in your life.

As we go through the steps of renouncing Satan and all his works and ways, we can ask for God’s help by praying in the following way:

Dear heavenly Father, I ask You to reveal to me all the occultic practices, false religions, and false teachers with which I have knowingly or unknowingly been involved.

- Write down everything God brings to mind.  After you are sure your list is complete, pray the following for each practice, religion, and teacher:

Lord, I confess that I have participated in ___________________

I ask Your forgiveness, and I renounce _____________________

as a counterfeit to true Christianity.

Don’t feel bad if you must confess several things.  Many hurting people like you and me have been misguided in a world which is filled with cults, false religions, and false teachers.

Satan doesn’t want us to be free, and he will do whatever he can to keep us from completing these steps to freedom.
