Symptoms of the caged soul

The Scriptures reveal that man is a tripartite being, that is, he is made up of a soul and a spirit, both of which live in a body.God, the wonderful creator, wishes that man prospers in these three departments of his being especially the soul which is the spiritual part of his life.The enemy knows this, therefore, he attacks and cages man’s soul thus rendering him weakened, and unfulfilled in his earthly and heavenly pursuits.

The question now is:
1) How can a caged soul be delivered and made to prosper?
2) How can you know when a soul is caged?

Ezekiel 13:18-20
The creation of man is a wonderful process. The Bible says:” I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” (Psalm 139:14).The creation of man took place in three stages:1. God Himself sat down, took dust, molded it and formed man. (Next times, when you feel like boasting, remember that you are ordinary dust); whenever you feel like broadcasting yourself, it is Mr. Dust that you are broadcasting.At burial ceremonies, it is said, “Dust unto dust ashes unto ashes.” That is, the person came from dust and is going back to be dust as it is put in the ground. That is why all the chemicals that make up the human body can also be found in the ground.

2. God breathed the breath of life into man’s nostrils, so that the Spirit of God moved into it to create the spirit of man which went straight into the blood.3. Man became a living soul, a distinct individual, a distinct personality.
The body of man is world-conscious. The soul of a man is the seat of his intellect, will and emotions; it is self- conscious. It is through the soul that a man knows that he is bold, weak, strong, and intelligent and that he is different from any other person.
The spirit of man is God - conscious, it is through it that he realizes that there is God and recognizes His Lordship. It is also through the spirit that man denies the existence of God and refuses to serve Him. Man is fearfully and wonderfully made.When the body is caged, it cannot move. It is limited and cannot do what it wishes to do. It has a problem.A person in Nsawam prison, for example, is limited. He is been watched and control, he cannot go about as he would have desired.

If a parrot is put in a cage, it is limited, it cannot fly. It can only hop within the confines of the cage.
When the spirit - man is caged; it means it is possessed and controlled by demonic spirits. They dictate what the spirit man should do and should not do. All witches, wizards and familiar spirits are possessed and controlled by the demon - spirits. It is amazing to know that these dark powers can summon a person out of his body.

The experiences that some people regard as dreams are not so; they are actual happenings in the spirit world.When you see yourself in the dream in your village or old secondary or primary school, or a house you lived before, it means that an evil covenant had been formed with your spirit at that location or that something went wrong there or that your placenta was buried there.

Sometimes, these powers make sure a tree is planted where the placenta is buried and the life of that child now depends on the growth of the tree. If the witches now decide to make that tree their meeting place, it means the child will be in their cage forever.One man went abroad to study. He always had a dream that he was carrying an old woman. Each time he tried to look at the face of the old woman, to know who she was, he got a slap and he woke up feeling the pains on his face. When he went to see a doctor, he was told that he was hallucinating.

One day, a woman came into his room with a gun, accusing him of debarring him from having her boy-friend. He told her that he did not know her; neither did he know the man she was talking about. Before he knew what was going on, he received gun-shots and he eventually died. The powers that were pursuing him for 13 years, caught up with him because he did not know what to do.
Take this prayer point:

Every power pursuing my destiny, die, in the name of Jesus.

DO YOU KNOW!!!

That God gave the Bible through the Jewish People for mankind, but today there are about 14 million Jewish people in the world and almost 99% of them do not believe in Yeshua (Jesus) as their Messiah.

Statistics show that more than half of the Jewish people who do believe in Yeshua came to know Him through reading the Messianic Prophecies.

Encourage your friends to read the New Testament and the prophecies of Christ in the Old Testament.

GODLY LIFE

A GODLY LIFE

You must determine to do what Romans 6:12 says and "let not sin...reign in your mortal body."
Meditate day and night on the Word of God Joshua 1:8
Pray without ceasing. 1 Thessalonians 5:17
Having the mind of Christ. 1 Corinthians 2:16.
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Philippians 2:5
If we do these things, then we would have no time to meditate on the things of this world, would we?

Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but let us be transformed by the renewing of our mind, that we may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Psalm 10:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Are we a new creation? How much have we changed since giving our life to Jesus? Have we really given our heart to Jesus, or have we just repented of our sins, and continued in our old way without letting Jesus change us?
Is Jesus really the Lord of our life?
There is a war going on inside of us right now.
I guess there will be a war going on until we are promoted to Glory, as satan does not want anyone of us to reach our heavenly mansion.

Just as I Am

"Just as I am, without one plea,
But that Thy blood was shed for me,
And that Thou bidd'st me come to Thee,
O Lamb of God I come! I come!"

Charlotte Elliot (1789-1871)

Proverbs 18:21 Death and life [are] in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

Isaiah 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, (argue this out) saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, (No matter how deep the stain of your sins I can remove it) they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

I wonder if for some of us, there are still some stains of sin left in us, and day by day we are overcoming, maybe it is a struggle to overcome, and the Christians around us are making it even harder instead of helping us through the disastrous situation some are in.

Reading the book by Rev. Peter Hobson, "We all have our Demons" lets us know we will have to overcome until Jesus comes, due to our spiritual makeup.

Rev Peter Hobson has a number of very good End Time Deliverance books written, each one being very valuable, and full of deliverance knowledge..

We are told each week that Jesus has forgiven us, for some, it would seem that there was no forgiveness left, but there is, while ever we have life there is hope.

Philippians 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out our own salvation with fear and trembling
.

How many of us are working out our Salvation with fear and trembling? Or are we just hoping that we will make it to heaven, hoping that things will just happen for us, and and doing everything else other than being filled with the Holy Spirit? Only each one of us can answer this.

2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
’

It is so important that we do humble ourselves and pray, and the more we pray, the closer we come to Jesus and the more protection we have in these last days.
God the Father made us to have fellowship with Him, and we do have to ask ourselves; do we have the fellowship that He requires of us.
Love you, and bless you, and The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: Numbers 6:25

Deity Of Christ In Old Testament

There are scriptures about the Deity Of Christ In Old Testament times. Those who have not read the Bible for a very long time, may not know about the deity of Christ in Old Testament times. In the Gospels, Jesus referred to Himself many times as God or deity when confronted by the Pharisees about who He is. For example, in the book of John, Jesus tells the Pharisees "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM".

This reference to Himself as "I AM" or God, is the same statement that God made to Moses in Exodus chapter three. This is one of the boldest, most clear statements Jesus ever made in the Gospels about the Lord's diety. The Pharisees knew exactly what He was saying, and wanted to stone Him for it. It is incredible that the Lord was quoting the Tanakh to them about references to Himself. Rather than humbling themselves and opening their eyes and hearts, they felt they had to prop up their pride and deride Him for speaking to them, or teaching them about the scriptures. To them, the Lord was unlearned, but seemed to have a special insight into the Tanakh.

In reality, there are numerous references to Jesus in the Old Testament.What does deity mean? It is making a claim to being a King or royalty. In this case, THE King or Creator of the universe. The Jewish people thought the Messiah would be a military king, and did not consider that their need required a spiritual King of their hearts. This is exactly what Jesus, promised Messiah was, and this is why they did not accept Him as their Messiah. They were not looking in the right place. However, there are references to Jesus in the Old Testamentthat the Jewish people read, but do not understand as being prophetic references to Him. For example, in the book of Micah, there is the description about the Lord's birth in Bethlehem. The story goes on to describe the Lord's deity and scope of rule. The scripture says "But you, Bethlehem of Ephrathah, though you are little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you shall come forth to Me, the One to be Ruler in Israel, whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting .

This term "from everlasting" literally means "the days of eternity". Attached to this verse is yet another reference to the deity of Jesus in Old Testament times in the book of Isaiah. In Isaiah it says "His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, The Everlasting Father". At the beginning of this reference to Jesus in the Old Testament, is a description of the Lord's birth. "Unto us a Son shall be given..". So, in the same reference is His birth, and it ends with the description of the Lord being the "Everlasting Father". Another reference to the deity of Jesus in the Old Testament, actually begins with a reference given by the Lord to Pilate in the Gospels. When being questioned, Pilate asks Christ if He is the king of the Jews. The Lord says this in verse 36: "My kingdom is not of this world". A cross reference to this verse is Daniel chapter 2 verse 44. In this reference is a description of the kingdom the Lord is talking about.

"And in the days of these kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever". Here is a description of the Lord's kingdom, which is spiritual, of the heart. An earthly king can never reign in the hearts of mankind, and so the only king who can reign spiritually is a king who is an everlasting God, absolute deity.References to Jesus in the Old Testament are in several places. They are in the book of Daniel, in Isaiah, in Psalms and in Micah. Many of these reference Him as the coming Messiah, his place of birth and the scope of His kingdom. One day He will come again to the Earth as the Judge, and will create a new heaven and new Earth, where He will reign forever in a literal kingdom. So, He will be in both men's hearts and reign physically. All kingdoms of the new Earth will bow to Him.

Perhaps this is why the Lord said that His kingdom is not of this Earth, because he was speaking in a dual manner - His kingdom is both of men's hearts and one day, on the new Earth. References to the deity of Christ in Old Testament times were always speaking of what would happen in the future, both in the not too distant future, and the future thousands of years hence as well. Therefore, the Jesus in the Gospels is also the God of Israel spoken of in the Old Testament. Because the Jews never accepted Jesus as the coming Messiah, and therefore do not accept the New Testament, then they do not have the benefit of the references Christ made to Himself in the Old Testament or Tanakh. However, Christians have a wonderful opportunity to present these truths to them and show the Jews the deity of Christ in Old Testament times, contrasting and cross-referencing comments by Jesus in the Gospels. There is no doubt that Jesus is God or deity.
All it takes is a comparison of the Old Testament prophecies of the Messiah with New Testament comments made by Jesus.
