SUNDAY SERMON
SERMON NOTES:
Shut the Door
Galatians 2:20-21 - New Living Translation
20 My old self has been crucified with Christ.[a] It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. 21 I do not treat the grace of God as meaningless. For if keeping the law could make us right with God, then there was no need for Christ to die.
Galatians 5:16-24 - New King James Version
16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: [a]adultery, [b]fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, [c]murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 [d]gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
Ephesians 6:12 - New Living Translation
12 For we[a] are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.
Luke 11:24-26 - New King James Version
24 “When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ 25 And when he comes, he finds it swept and put in order. 26 Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first.”
James 4:7 - New King James Version
7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
Galatians 3:13-14 - New Living Translation
13 But Christ has rescued us from the curse pronounced by the law. When he was hung on the cross, he took upon himself the curse for our wrongdoing. For it is written in the Scriptures, “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.”[a] 14 Through Christ Jesus, God has blessed the Gentiles with the same blessing he promised to Abraham, so that we who are believers might receive the promised[b] Holy Spirit through faith.
Colossians 2:14-15 - New Living Translation
14 He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross. 15 In this way, he disarmed[a] the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by his victory over them on the cross.
Unhealed wounds, lost innocence, abandonment, accidents (oaths, swore in our hurt) ex. I will never get married, I will never be vulnerable- Forgive by name outloud
Sinful habits (lying, swearing, pornography, little drinking & smoking) Repent not remorse
Occult & witchcraft- Renounce
Deuteronomy 18:9-12 - New King James Version
9 “When you come into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not learn to follow the [a]abominations of those nations. 10 There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass[b] through the fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, 11 or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. 12 For all who do these things are [c]an abomination to the Lord, and because of these abominations the Lord your God drives them out from before you.
Unforgiveness/ Bitterness / Hatred- Forgive
Eyes & Ears – Commit to Live Holy- I am Holy Be Ye Holy- Commit
Job 31:1 - New Living Translation
31 “I made a covenant with my eyes not to look with lust at a young woman.
Psalm 37:5 - New Living Translation
5 Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him, and he will help you.
Prayer to shut the door, then Ask Holy Spirit to fill up the rooms where the demons occupied.
