Text: Galatians 5:22-23
But the fruit of the [Holy] Spirit [the work which His presence within accomplishes] is love, joy (gladness), peace, patience (an even temper, forbearance), kindness, goodness (benevolence), faithfulness, [23] Gentleness (meekness, humility), self-control (self-restraint, continence). Against such things there is no law [that can bring a charge].
Galatians 5:22-23,AMPC
Our picture post outlines the following 7 detestable behaviors as what God hates.
1. A proud look [the spirit that makes one overestimate himself and underestimate others],
2. a lying tongue,
3. hands that shed innocent blood, [Ps. 120:2, 3.] [18]
4. A heart that manufactures wicked thoughts and plans,
5. feet that are swift in running to evil,
6. A false witness who breathes out lies [even under oath],
7. he who sows discord among his brethren.
If you are dealing with any one of the above behaviors, it is evident that you are not growing spiritually and are in the throes of demonization.
In order to overcome this physical behaviors and their spiritual enablers, would require 2 aspects of spiritual warfare-
1. Deliverance Prayer 2. Lifestyle changes
Deliverance Prayer:
- Acknowledge your sins
Proverbs 28:13, 1 John 1:9.
- Thank God for forgiveness of sins and cleansing from all unrighteousness.
- If you are born again, use your authority in Christ Jesus to cast out all the evil spirits influencing the actions you are ready to give up by commanding them to leave you alone and go to the feet of Jesus Christ .See Luke 10:19. ( if you are not born again, first Admit you need help, second Believe in Jesus Christ, and Confess that Jesus Christ is Lord of your life)
- Read Romans 8: 1- And Affirm that there is therefore now no condemnation to you, for you walk after the Spirit,
- Read Romans 8:2 and Affirm that the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, has made you free from the law of Sin and death.
- Thank God for deliverance from the forces of darkness, and affirm that you are victorious over the world by your faith in Christ Jesus- 1 John 5:4.
Watch out for the Conclusion
