CAN GOD DO A NEW THING IN YOUR LATER YEARS?

https://thespiritualwarrior.quora.com/CAN-GOD-DO-A-NEW-THING-IN-YOUR-LATER-YEARS?ch=18&oid=103766233&share=bccb721d&srid=uxJDt4&target_type=post

MAYBE IT’S NOT OVER

So they went up out of Egypt and came to the land of Canaan to their father Jacob. And they told him, “Joseph is still alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt.” And his heart became numb, for he did not believe them. But when they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said to them, and when he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of their father Jacob revived. Genesis 45:25-28

When Joseph disappeared from Jacob’s life, something broke inside this father’s heart. Hope died. His spirit withered. It would be this way for another 20+ years until he got the news that Joseph was not dead as he believed, but very much alive in Egypt. He had grieved his son’s death and disillusionment had been his companion. His heart had grown numb to good news. But finding out that Joseph was alive, Jacob’s heart revived.

Can God do a new thing in my later years? Yes. Even when something catastrophic happened in my teens and I learned to adapt by closing off my heart, God can introduce healing many decades later.

A dreamer, in response to a series of disappointments, shoves his dreams underground. Can God resurrect them later in life? Yes. Though decades seem like an eternity and dreamers are tempted to believe that life is always going to disappoint, they discover that God can write a new plotline.

What is it you’re waiting for today? For what have you stopped hoping? Perhaps you believe that it’s futile to trust God for anything different, that God’s promises are for those still enjoying the dreams of their youth. Oh, but not everything is as it appears. Jacob held what he thought was bloody coat of his son Joseph, but the evidence of his death was a sham. Joseph was very much alive.

This could be the day of your breakthrough. Tell your heart to stand at attention to see the miraculous hand of God write the next chapter of your life.

I lived to see my own resurrection. All because of You. Amen

#3How can we be delivered from generational curses?

Earlier, we discussed that:
‘Deliverance is actually classified as ground-level spiritual warfare which has two sides to it- (1) casting out demons and (2) living the higher life of righteousness.

We also explained that Spiritual Warfare is an ongoing process for all Christians.

Here is why:
“Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;
(2 Corinthians 1:10 KJVAE)

If you take the above verse of scripture literally, you will note that God who delivered in the Past, keep on delivering in the Present and will also deliver in the future.

In my book Demons Deactivated1
(Understanding Spiritual Warfare), I already explained the principle of ongoing deliverance. Those who understand the process of sanctification have no problem understanding this concept.

Let me try to simplify the concept here:

When you were born again, and delivered from the domain of darkness and transported into the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, (Colossians 1:13), it was your recreated human spirit that was reconciled to God.

Your Soul and Body need to learn to live as the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus in this depraved world.

We are thankful that God gave us a panoply of weapons in His Word.
That would help us subdue the forces of evil, subdue the innate desires of our flesh, and overcome the ingrained learned behavior.

Hence God said in 2 Timothy 3:16 that,
“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work”

To train and teach your Soul and Body to live the higher life of righteousness, would require that you-

Confront these 3 major war zones:
The world,
Satan the devil and his evil forces, and
The flesh

The world:
Because the world is decadent, the forces of evil are looking to prey on the ignorant. But be of good cheer, our Lord and Savior already overcome the world.( John 16:33)

However, you must remain sober, strong and vigilant in order to nullify all satanic attacks with the shield of faith. (Read 1 Peter 5:8-9, Ephesians 6:10-18)
Satan and his evil forces:
The devil is not an issue at all for those in Christ.
Casting out demons is the easiest part in spiritual warfare, because satan is already a defeated foe. It is God who leads us to triumph daily, as we use the authority invested in us by Christ Jesus (See Matthew 10:8, Mark 16:15-18, Luke 10:19).

However, you must not give the devil a foothold or else, he will have a stronghold of you.
That is why you should cast down all imaginations, philosophies, philosophies, ideologies, denominational dogmas and anything else exalted above the knowledge of God.(Read 2 Corinthians 10:4-7)

Because if you don’t, the time you would have used to go forward, will be wasted pulling down strongholds that you allowed!
The Flesh
The Bible says “the works of the flesh are manifest” another translation says, “the practices of the sinful nature are clearly evident: they are sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality (total irresponsibility, lack of self-control), idolatry, sorcery, hostility, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions [that promote heresies], envy, drunkenness, riotous behavior, and other things like these. I warn you beforehand, just as I did previously, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. (Galatians 5:19‭-‬21 AMP)

Of the three war zones, overcoming the Flesh-or sinful nature is where the stiffest battles are fought and won. Because the battle is fought in the mind.
Battleground of the mind:
The mind is the seat of the personality. It is from there we think and make decisions that control the direction our lives would go. (Read Proverbs 4:23)

Once you make up your mind about things, execution is easy.
And what we see, hear, touch, smell and taste, influences the decisions the mind makes.

Hence we must daily overcome the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh and the pride of life (See 1 John 2:16)

We must not let our guard down, but strive towards perfection by constantly overcoming the innate desires of the sinful nature.

According to scripture, we must mortify the deeds of human nature. (See Romans 8:13), and also kill it (Read Colossians 3:5, Galatian 5:19-21)

In addition, we must produce fruits worthy of repentance ( Matthew 3:8), as well as manifest the Fruit of the Holy Spirit which is:
“[the result of His presence within us] is love [unselfish concern for others], joy, [inner] peace, patience [not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting], kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such things there is no law.” (Galatians 5:22‭-‬23 AMP)

Let the habitual sinfulness not transcend you to the next generation- it must stop with you.

You must take back your life and the future of your children/family, and stop blaming ancestral curses or yokes.

Do the needful.
Put more effort into developing Christlikeness in worship, character, and service,
Deliverance Procedure/ Spiritual Warfare
*Acknowledge the sin (s) and identify with your bloodline to repent of them. (Read Daniel 9:1-19: 1 John 1:9 in order to understand the principle of identificational Repentance)

  • It is important to Believe that God is just to forgive sins, and to also cleanse from all unrighteousness, so you don’t go about with a sin-conscious and guilt-trips mentality.

Because if you do not believe what the Word of God says about God, you call God a liar and will be chain-sinning instead of living righteously.

*When you Confront the sins that opened up the demonization of your bloodline, you neutralize the demonic hordes feeding off sins of the family secrets.

Repentance disables demons and activates the mercies of God.
That’s why the Bible says,
“People who conceal their sins will not prosper, but if they confess and turn from them, they will receive mercy.” (Proverbs 28:13,NLT)

*Command all the demons assigned to your bloodline that are influencing adversities, cyclical problems and evil trends etc, to go at once to the feet of Jesus Christ with all their relatives.
Note This:
You know the active demons by the symptoms or problems that are manifesting in you or other family members.
What to do:
Just call them by name e.g diabetes, hypertension, addiction, poverty, hardship, unrelenting problems, error, instability, indebtedness, failures. Mediocrity, etc.
Give them a destination:
After calling them out, tell them to leave your family and go at once to the feet of Christ Jesus with all their evil relatives.

  • Believe in your heart that the demons influencing those conditions that you called out are gone – for with the heart we believe and with the mouth we confess our deliverance (Read Romans 10 :8-10)

*Thank God – gratitude elevates and brings wholeness:(Read tge story of the 10 lepers)

*Go right ahead to PROCLAIM the new conditions that should characterize you and your bloodline.
E.G. AFFIRM we have a sound mind, divine health, excellence in all aspects and facets of life, stable marriages, sexual purity, restoration of Godliness etc…

You can even DECREE that all your family shall become born again and also RELEASE to your bloodline the anointing of God’s Spirit that brings salvation, healings, deliverance….

Declare all this in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.
Worship in songs and pray in tongues if you have the gifts.

#2:How can we be delivered from Generational curses?

As earlier discussed, most of what is referred to as generational curses are actually the result of an individual’s personal sinfulness.

The Bible define sin as “all unrighteousness” ( See 1 John 5:17)

Due to ingrained learned behavior, children continue the sinful lifestyle of their parents, which their parents learned also from their parents.

And because of the degenerative effects of sin, resultant sicknesses and adversities always worsen.

However, these negatives cut-off with repentance and the establishment of Godliness.

Therefore, You must learn to take responsibility for your life and be ready to unlearn or cast aside those things that are unrighteous, if you desire a change in your life.

You can work out your deliverance:
(Read Luke 10:19, Philippians 2:12-13, Ephesians 4:22-32)

Deliverance is actually classified as ground-level spiritual warfare which has two sides to it- (1) casting out demons and (2) living the higher life of righteousness.

Sinfulness attracts demons, whereas, Righteousness alienates demons.

Even if you cast out the demons influencing the adverse conditions you are experiencing, and do not make lifestyle changes, your condition will be better temporarily.

But later, the condition will worsen just like a cancer that entered remission and comes back with killing intensity. (Read Matthew 12:43-45)

Therefore, You must be intentional and resolute if you want to unlearn ingrained sinfulness, so that the demons cast out cannot ever come near you and your bloodline.

I stand and hold firmly to the beliefs that although a born again Child of God cannot be possessed by demons, they can be vexed or demonized.

Which means that they can be manipulated, influenced, depressed, obsessed, etc by demons, if they continue in sin without repentance.

The Body of the individual Believer of Jesus Christ have become the temple of God. (1 Corinthians 6:19)

And in my theology, God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all (1 John 1:5)

So, how can light and darkness coexist in the same place, when darkness disappears at the entrance of light? (John 8:12, John 1:5, Amos 3:3)

The final part contains the deliverance Procedure.

#1:How can we be delivered from generation curses?

When you have Faith in the Finished Work of Christ Jesus, and make character changes, you will no longer operate under the burden of curses.

Curses enable hardship, while blessings enable ease of achievement.

But according to the Bible,
“Christ purchased our freedom and redeemed us from the curse of the Law and its condemnation by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs [crucified] on a tree (cross)”— in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might also come to the Gentiles, so that we would all receive [the realization of] the promise of the [Holy] Spirit through faith.(Galatians 3:13‭-‬14 AMP)

And when the Holy Spirit comes, you are empowered to live a liberating lifestyle.

Scripturally, curses don’t come on a person without a cause(s) (Read Proverbs 26:2)

Sinfulness is the major cause for curses to come on anyone.
Believers are Blessed beyond curses:
Because Christ became a curse for us (Galatians 3:13-14)

But many Believers manifest the same issues as their ancestors because of habitual sinfulness.

Through learned behavior, sinfulness becomes ingrained in the personality.

Thus, the child of a diabetic grows up with unhealthy eating habits. Which if not corrected, will produce 2nd or 3rd generation of diabetics.

To the spiritually ignorant, the situation of that family will be diagnosed as ‘generational curses’.

That was no generational curse but consequences of not growing in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ.

If after you are born again, you do not produce the fruit of the Holy Spirit, but continue to imitate the behaviors of your ancestors, then be ready to suffer as they did.

An illustration of how curse with causes can come on people.

From over 30 years experience as a Spiritual Warrior on the frontlines, I can found that a high percentage of those afflicted with prostate cancer were sexually immoral.

If you are a man (as in a real natural born man), and you are from a lineage where prostate cancer attacks, simply repent, and maintain sexual purity. And you will not be afflicted by prostate cancer.

But if you don’t repent, the curse will have a cause to come on you, as a deterrent.

Apply this same principle of repentance to other aspects of your life. (Read Proverbs 28:13,1 John 1:9)

Discovery:
Do a family research to discover the predominant or trending problems among your relatives.

Does diabetes, hypertension, addiction and addictive behaviors run in your family? Let it run out from you.

Identify the cause, break the chain of afflictions by claiming the victory of the Cross, line up your life with the Word of God, live right, and eat right, so that you will enjoy the blessings of Abraham in Christ Jesus. (Galatians 3:14):

SPEAKING TO THE DEAD: A DEATH-BOUND LIFE.

Who are the Spiritualists? 

Spiritualism is the term for a group of denominations with ministers, hymn singing, and services that feature alleged communication with the dead. 

I visited several Spiritualist churches while in college and so know first-hand what it is like. Notice in the excerpt below that Spiritualism considered itself a Christian denomination; this was true in Europe as well, where the movement infiltrated many churches. 

In fact, some branches of Spiritualism still consider it Christianity.

Quote==

The spiritualists were one of the first American Christian churches to believe that the dead could directly speak to the living. 

Parishioners were more likely to refer to “Infinite Intelligence” than god, and they studied the Bible for instances of trances, clairvoyance, spirit writing and other acts from beyond the grave.

According to the church’s manual, spirits could write and speak without being seen, make objects appear from thin air or appear to move on their own amongst other feats. If that sounds suspiciously similar to what a magician promises, the spiritualists understood that.==From https://goo.gl/0jJW2i

*Thanks to Paul Carden for link

COMMENTS

A resurgence of interest in speaking to the dead came in the late 1990s with popular mediums and authors such as the late Sylvia Browne, James Van Praagh, Rosemary Altea, and the still-popular John Edward whose TV show “Crossing Over” broke out of its network confines to reach 98% of the television market in the U.S.

Contact with the dead and hauntings are now a theme on many programs that feature allegedly haunted buildings, TV shows such as “Medium,” and reality-based programs like “The Last Goodbye” and “The Long Island Medium.” 

These shows and personalities intrigue people and there is a steady diet of such material, nor do I think it will lessen.

According to one poll, 37% believe houses can be haunted and 34% believe ghosts/spirits of the dead can come back (From Oct. 2011, source at http://goo.gl/sRyUti).

WHAT DOES GOD SAY?

The Bible has many passages condemning contact with the dead and consulting those who speak to the dead (Leviticus 19:31, 20:6, 27; Deuteronomy 18:10–11; 1 Chronicles 10:13–14; and Isaiah 8:19–20), but there are still two incidents people have questions about:

— The dead prophet Samuel appearing to Saul (First Samuel 28:11-20)
— Moses and Elijah appearing with Jesus on the Mt. of Transfiguration (Luke 9:28-36)
Samuel and Saul

In first Samuel, King Saul was in bad straits. He had disobeyed God who had taken away his Spirit from Saul; the prophet Samuel was dead, and now the Philistines were advancing. Saul, who had banned mediums from the land, sought out a medium in desperation. 

The medium called up the dead Samuel; however, she seemed surprised to see Samuel. I believe that God is the one who allowed this or perhaps brought Samuel back; the medium did not have this power. 

Samuel rebuked Saul for disobeying God and predicted his death and the death of his sons in battle the next day, and the victory of the Philistines.

This truly was Samuel, not a demon. First of all, the text states it is Samuel. 

Secondly, Samuel gave specific correct predictions about the future, something only a prophet of God could know; and thirdly, Samuel rebuked Saul, something a demon would not do.

God used Saul’s forbidden consultation with the medium to give him a message that condemned his action.

 This is a one-time singular incident, not a normal one, in which God allowed Samuel to appear to Saul. 

First Chronicles 10:13, 14 follows up by telling us that one reason that Saul was allowed to die in battle is because he consulted a medium, thus reaffirming God’s ban on consulting mediums.

Jesus with Moses and Elijah

Jesus goes with Peter, John, and James to a mountain to pray and, while praying, Jesus becomes transformed, his clothes “white and gleaming.” The text continues:

“And behold, two men were talking with Him; and they were Moses and Elijah, who, appearing in glory, were speaking of His departure which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.” (Luke 9:30, 31)

This is more akin to a vision than a case of dead people “coming back.” 

They did not really come back; 

they appeared briefly with the transformed Jesus “in glory” speaking about the coming crucifixion, the purpose of Jesus’ mission on earth, which was to die on the cross and pay the penalty for man’s sins. 

Moses stood for the law while Elijah stood for the prophets; thus, Jesus was bookended by the law and the prophets, of which he was the fulfillment:

“Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill.” Matthew 5:17

Jesus fulfilled all the prophecies of the Messiah and the requirements of the Law in his own person; there was no further need for anyone to wait for anyone else. So for the representatives of the law and prophets to be with Jesus at this moment was symbolic and significant. 

Elijah was also a type for John the Baptist, who announced the coming of Jesus and baptized him.

There is nothing in this passage to endorse contacting the dead or seeing ghosts; this event, another unique incident, was an act of God to shine a light on his son Jesus, and in fact, God made a statement affirming Jesus as he did at Jesus’ baptism:

“This is my Son, the chosen One, listen to Him!” (v. 35b)

The message here has nothing to do with the dead, but rather is about Jesus’ fulfillment of prophecy and the law, his coming atonement on the cross, and the Father’s affirmation of his Son.

WHAT ABOUT HAUNTED HOUSES OR THOSE WHO SEE OR HEAR A GHOST?

I have personally heard probably stories from over 100 people (not counting TV shows and books) about seeing a ghost, hearing noises in a haunted house, or hearing from dead people. 

There are 5 main explanations:

1. Imagination/delusion

2. Grief (grief counselors say it is common for people who have recently lost loved ones to think they see them momentarily, hear them, or even smell them)

3. Hoax (as in the haunted house programs)

4. Natural causes

5. Demonic

The fifth explanation usually applies to a situation where someone is involved in occult activities. This would include those who purposely attempt to contact the dead or who are involved in other occult practices, or have consulted those involved.

When I was in the New Age, I attended some séances and was able to receive messages from what seemed to be dead people; even years prior, a supposed dead person had appeared to me. This was all a result of my interest and visiting the Spiritualist churches.

 Attending a séance will definitely produce results almost all the time. But it is not dead people who are giving the messages; it is fallen angels.

THE NEARLY DEAD AND THE HEAVENLY VISITS

I consider the experiences and messages from those who have NDEs (near death experiences) and who claim to have died and been to heaven to be a step in the direction of the category of claims to speak to communicate with the dead.

Although there is a trend in the church now to try to use NDEs as evidence for the after-life and a big trend in books by those claiming to have visited heaven, I consider these to be imagined, physiological, and/or demonic experiences. 

Such experiences take away from and often contradict God’s word. God has revealed what we need to know about death and the afterlife; there is no need to listen to these tales.

Moreover, Jesus makes it pretty clear in the account of the rich man and Lazarus in Luke 16 that there is no going back after death. It is appointed to man to die once, and then the judgment (Hebrews 9:27).

Such stories induce interest in experiences over truth. I believe that the experiences of those in so-called near-death states can be demonic. I had OBEs (out of body experiences) in the New Age which is similar to some of the NDEs and I know of others whose OBEs gave them information that was accurate.

The fact that someone declared dead and then revived can then relay a factual event while he/she was “dead,” does not mean this event is from God. 

In fact, it does not glorify God; it only cultivates a taste for the paranormal and, in the end, it is not substantive proof of life after death since the person was never truly dead. “Near death” does not mean dead in the final sense.
JESUS HAS THE LAST WORD

The only One who really has died and who came back is Jesus. His physical resurrection is unique in the annals of religion. When he appeared to John on the island of Patmos to give the Revelation, he said:

“I am the First and the Last, and the Living One. I was dead, but look—I am alive forever and ever, and I hold the keys of death and Hades.” Revelation 1: 17b-18

So where will you go when you die is the question of the day. You cannot count on truth from the mediums, the dead, the ones with NDE tales, or from those who claim to have been to heaven. 

The only life-giving message is from Jesus Christ, who died to pay the penalty for sins. Faith in the true Jesus and his work gives forgiveness of sins, and his bodily resurrection gives eternal life with God.

The choice is death or life.

FB Note: “To Heaven and Back: A Furious Fad”

from  Christian Answers for the New Age

Pray and stand up for those being persecuted for righteousness sake.

We need to PRAY for God’s supernatural intervention, as well as act on our faith by standing up for the rights of the persecuted.

The scripture points 👉 us to how Peter was arrested because there was no resistance from the Church (the BODY of CHRIST)

“About that time King Herod Agrippa began to persecute some believers in the church. He had the apostle James (John’s brother) killed with a sword. When Herod saw how much this pleased the Jewish people, he also arrested Peter… (Acts of the Apostles 12:1‭-‬3 NLT)

You cannot be silent at a time like this.

The persecutors will take your silence as consent, and they will continue to persecute Christians until you become their next victim.

Refuse to be the ‘useful idiot’ who will side with the persecutors because they are your friends, family, business partner or employer.

Do not be ignorant of satan’s devices.

Your usefulness ends the day they manipulate you to betray the brethren by foolishly trusting them.

Never be deceived.
Satan is a master of the art of deception. His strong arguments made mother Eve and father Adam sell-out the inheritance of their descendants.

That is the reason we are cautioned to be clearheaded and to be alert , for your accuser the devil is on the prowl looking for prey! (See 1 Peter 5:8)

We overcome all satan’s persuasive arguments by holding fast to our faith in God.

Do not sell-out the Brethren (fellow Believers), whether they are of your denomination, or local church family.

Anyone who confesses that Jesus Christ is Lord is your family of faith, and belongs to the Body of Christ.

The wolves will be isolated by those gifted to discern the spirits.

Stay focused on the mission, and keep doing what you have been gifted to do for the Body of Christ.

The Bible says :
“God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another.

Do you have the gift of speaking? Then speak as though God himself were speaking through you.
Do you have the gift of helping others? Do it with all the strength and energy that God supplies.

Then everything you do will bring glory to God through Jesus Christ. All glory and power to him forever and ever! Amen. (1 Peter 4:10‭-‬11 NLT)

Additionally, “In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well.

So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you.

If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well.

If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging.

If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously.

And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly. Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good.

Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other. Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically. Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying.

When God’s people are in need, be ready to help them. Always be eager to practice hospitality. (Romans 12:6‭-‬13 NLT)

No one is self-sufficient. We need each other. We need to have each other’s back.

While praying, act out your faith by standing up against the persecutors of the Body of Christ, by using the gifts God endowed you with.

If you are an intercessor, Organize prayer meetings in your home, home-church, community etc, to pray for those in trouble.

If you are gifted in serving, excel at it for the benefit of others.

If giving is your gift, reach out to the needy, give to aid those fighting our cause in the courts.

If you are a prophet, never cease from making authoritative prophetic decrees.

Be bold. Be brave. Be intentional and
to pursue excellence in whatever God has gifted you with.

Take your divinely gifted responsibility seriously.
Prayer:
Thank you ABBA Dad for your presence in our world today.

We stand against ongoing evils in our world, especially in our nation.
We acknowledge that you are our Monarch who rules in the affairs of nations.

We cut off all satanic reinforcements to his human agents that are sitting in the affairs of nations.

We declare that the pride of the satanic human agents is destroyed. They will experience Open shame and confusions among them right away.

We command to be neutralized at once, all satanic plots, including the game plan to dehumanize Christians, convert church-owned properties to farmlands, and the attempts to frustrate Christian employees to quit, etc.

We proclaim that the Spirit of God, like a flood, has lifted a standard against them. They are drowned in their own plots.

We are Thankful Father God, for the unity of the Body in the bond of peace, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ we pray 🙏 🤲.
