Spiritual Protection against Demon Posession

Title: Spiritual Protection against Demon Posession Summary: The message teaches that demonic influence operates primarily through the mind and that believers must actively protect themselves against deception. It connects demons with the disembodied spirits of the Nephilim from Genesis 6 and uses Ephesians 6 to emphasize the whole armor of Yahweh as protection. The teaching concludes that truth, holiness, faith, the hope of salvation, and preparation for the coming Kingdom are necessary defenses in spiritual warfare.

Harvest Ministries I hope you're all doing well I wanted to take a few moments to maybe help somebody that might be struggling with demonic influence in your life attacks against your mind many people in the Kingdom or the Church of God struggles with mental batt B Les on a daily basis we wake up with mental attack we go to bed with mental attack and if you were Satan and you wanted to convince God's people of something who would you use to do that let's just say for a moment that you (00:53) were the enemy the adversary and you wanted to convince Christians of something that's a lie but you wanted to convince them well when I was a child if I wanted to convince my father of something I would go to my mother and try to use her or vice versa to convince them because we know they have influence in our life so if Satan wants to deceive the church if he wants to deceive you as a Christian he could hardly send a witch or a warlock or a em because we know they have influence in our life so if Satan wants to deceive the church if he wants to deceive you as a Christian he could hardly send a witch or a warlock or a Satanist or atheist to convince you so he has uh a network of spies if (01:39) you will that he has recruited into his army and they are called in the word of God Ministers of light it's a scary thought the Bible says that Satan has transformed him on his own self into a minister of light and that he has a network of ministers in God's church that are ministers of light they look right they sound right they have a large following and they are his ministers now they look like God's ministers but they are his ministers and if he's going to deceive the very Church of God what would he use to deceive them (02:28) with the good local local Pastor down the street that everybody trust now if Satan can convince the Church of anything he's got to use ministers Christian ministers to do that with now an interesting verse comes to mind Revelations 12:9 tells us that Satan has deceived the whole world I want you to think about that verse just a moment the whole world that means your neighbors your school teachers Revelations 12:9 tells us that Satan has deceived the whole world I want you to think about that verse just a moment the whole world that means your neighbors your school teachers your doctors and even your ministers many times Satan has deceived them I didn't say they were bad people I didn't criticize them I made a (03:14) Biblical statement and that makes enemies I realize that but God said the whole world is deceived by Satan now if you know anything about the whole world the most of the world is either Christian Muslim or Catholic there's over 2 billion Catholics when you add it all up the whole world is religious so Satan speaks to us through our ministers now one of the main things that he needs to convince you of is that you cannot be demon-possessed there's a teaching all over and I'm sure if you've been in the church for any (03:51) length of time you've heard it said that a holy ghost filled Believer cannot be demon-possessed now if Satan can convince you of that then Satan can get you off your guard against demonic power and you will be demon-possessed the whole time screaming I can't be demon-possessed so tonight I want to talk to you about your daily job of keeping ur guard against demonic power and you will be demon-possessed the whole time screaming I can't be demon-possessed so tonight I want to talk to you about your daily job of keeping your mind free from demonic influence every one of you listening to me to me tonight are candidates for demonic influence and the way that this works and I want to explain to you the (04:38) scientific part of it real quickly and then I'll explain the theological part every person that's listening to me tonight I want you to look around the world that we live in today and I want you to look at a story I I saw today on my Facebook timeline maybe some of you saw the same story uh I doctor died I believe he was in Virginia if I'm not mistaken an elderly doctor died and they went and searched his home he was an abortion doctor and this old man if you looked at him he looks like the neighbor across the street he looks like the most (05:17) wonderful man you've ever seen kind and gentle do you know they found over 200 dead babies in his house today 200 of them Your Neighbor Next Door he was an abortion doctor he would kill these babies and bring them to his house and he surrounded himself with dead babies now his house today 200 of them Your Neighbor Next Door he was an abortion doctor he would kill these babies and bring them to his house and he surrounded himself with dead babies now I want you to just answer this question for me tonight what person in their right mind could ever do something like that much less commit an abortion that's bad enough but what human has that even animals don't do things like that where does does the (06:00) evil in our world come from who was it that drove that plane into the World Trade Center since we're here at the 911 anniversary what person in their right mind can kill 3,000 people without flinching what person uh could be married to someone they love and beat them and and and and what person could molest their children what human animals don't molest their children what could cause someone like Caitlyn Jenner a handsome world champion to to desecrate himself from head to toe and and and and and parade around (06:48) the world what causes these things my friends it is demonic possession now I know we don't like to talk about that because we don't understand it in the church and lately we've just written it off as mental illness but I want to is demonic possession now I know we don't like to talk about that because we don't understand it in the church and lately we've just written it off as mental illness but I want to explain to you where this comes from in the Book of Genesis chapter 6 there's a story there about Fallen Angels now these Fallen Angels uh were uh called the Watchers and you can read about them in Genesis chapter 6 uh there was about 200 Angels specifically that had been assigned to (07:29) watch watch our planet um and the Bible tells us that these angels crossed a very big line of separation between angels and humans now I'm not going to go into that lesson tonight I do have a video that you can watch on our YouTube channel called the Nephilim you can re and and and I go into all of that I don't plan to do that right now but with that said these angels and these women produce proded something on our planet called the Nephilim that Yahweh despised to the core now remember this and remember this well the (08:15) Nephilim are kin to you now have you ever heard the Bible talk about familiar spirits the word familiar comes from the word family famal if you'll go study your Latin famal is familiar family so n to you now have you ever heard the Bible talk about familiar spirits the word familiar comes from the word family famal if you'll go study your Latin famal is familiar family so there are a group of spirits on the Earth today that is family to the human race now God sent a flood to the Earth to destroy these evil family members of the human race and to kill their physical influence on the Earth now these Giants were so atrocious that God wiped them off the Earth however remember they are half angel they are half human remember that (09:15) so therefore when they died and they did die because they're not Eternal all right they have human blood so therefore they are flesh and blood they do die they did die in the flood now when you and I die we know that our Spirits goes back to God that's what the Bible said that's the way he's designed it he's prepared a way for our spirits to go back to God when we die in our Spirits is our mind and this is so important that you understand this tonight the spirit of a man is the mind of a man now if you would like more teaching about (09:57) what happens to the dead go to our YouTube channel Channel first Harvest Ministries and look up our of a man is the mind of a man now if you would like more teaching about (09:57) what happens to the dead go to our YouTube channel Channel first Harvest Ministries and look up our teaching on what happens to the dead but when you die your spirit goes back to God for safekeeping until the day of the Resurrection when your mind will be reconnected with your reconstructed body and at that moment all of your memories all of your thoughts all of your life is contained in your your spirit mind now this is important that you understand this the Nephilim when they were killed and there may have been millions of them (10:40) we don't know but when they were destroyed only their bodies died their Spirits should have gone back to God but since they are hybrid since they are half human and half angel there is no place in heaven for their Spirits because they are not the original creation of Yahweh so those Spirits is where we get the word unclean spirits familiar spirits these demons now these are not Fallen Angels there's a huge difference between Fallen Angels and Demons these demon spirits of the Nephilim were evil they were atrocious but guess what happened when (11:34) they died in the there's a huge difference between Fallen Angels and Demons these demon spirits of the Nephilim were evil they were atrocious but guess what happened when (11:34) they died in the flood they became Bess they no longer had access to their human bodies and Jesus talks about these spirits in the New Testament when he talks about how they go out in dry places and what are they looking for what did he say the unclean spirit is looking for he is looking for a house to live in please hear what I'm trying to teach you tonight Joshua said that the unclean Spirit goes out and looks for a house well we know that means a body because these evil demonic spirits they cannot abort a baby they don't they don't have (12:23) hands to kill a baby with they don't have eyes to behold evil their spirits and now they need a body to wreak their Havoc upon the Earth so what do they begin to do they begin to look for a body in which to inhabit and to use that body for their evil purposes no man in his right mind would dare molest an a precious child but a evil demon power that hates the creation of Yahweh and want to destroy that child's mind at the beginning of their life will find the hands of a human st an a precious child but a evil demon power that hates the creation of Yahweh and want to destroy that child's mind at the beginning of their life will find the hands of a human and they will move into the mind of that man (13:12) and begin to do their evil work among Humanity now why is this so important for you to get because Jesus said yua said once they find the house swept and clean now what does that mean swept and clean what this means is that there is no protection for this house it has been prepared when you sweep a house when you clean a house you're preparing the house for guest amen many of you listening to me tonight you have swept your mind you have clean your mind and prepared for demonic guests to live in your mind and this is imperative because when (14:02) Satan comes when these demon powers come they do not come any other way except through the mind because the mind is the spirit this is why the word of God is so adamant about you and I renewing our mind on a daily basis we are only protected as long as our mind is not swept clean of the truth of God's holy word many of you listening to me tonight the only protection you have against these barrages of thoughts rotected as long as our mind is not swept clean of the truth of God's holy word many of you listening to me tonight the only protection you have against these barrages of thoughts that come to you that tell you you're not good enough take your own life well what do you think that is that's speaking to you (14:49) what is it that hates you these demon spirits that are your family they are they hate the fact that they don't have a body anymore they despise the fact that they've been sent to roam the Earth they cannot do their work without your help you are the hands of demons or you're the hands of God one of the two you will never be both you're one or the other the Bible said that these demons their feet are Swift to to to do harm to people these demons hate you hear it when a human's cussing someone out and destroying them with their mouths that (15:29) is the that's demon power and you brothers and sisters you may be a Christian you may be a believer but you must protect your mind and here's biblical proof that you can be demon-possessed and it comes from the writings of Paul uh in Ephesians chapter 6 and he says plainly now he's speaking to Christians Believers Spirit fill al proof that you can be demon-possessed and it comes from the writings of Paul uh in Ephesians chapter 6 and he says plainly now he's speaking to Christians Believers Spirit fill Believers and here's what he says finally my brethren be strong in yua be strong in yua he's talking to the Brethren and in the authority of yeshua's strength now why does he want the Brethren to be strong if they've got the (16:16) Holy Ghost they cannot be demon-possessed according to the Ministers of light today but that's not what Paul said Paul said be strong in the authority of Yu's strength and put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand that you may be able to withstand against the cunning deception of the darkness where does Deception come to your mind beloved at night when you're laying in your bed Shalom brother Charlie when you're laying in your bed and the enemy torment you telling you things that you know God doesn't say (17:05) about you this is his desire to see if your house is swept and clean so that he can move in and whenever you are on mind altering substances whenever you're smoking weed or whenever you're drinking alcohol or whenever you're opening up your mind an so that he can move in and whenever you are on mind altering substances whenever you're smoking weed or whenever you're drinking alcohol or whenever you're opening up your mind through yoga and meditation you are literally opening up a door for that spirit that demonic Spirit to move into your life and if you are not careful they will begin to speak through your mouth they will begin to destroy through your hands and they will turn you into (17:46) worse than an animal before it's over with because that door was open for their influence but beloved there is great news tonight the Apostle Paul says that we rest I'm reading in Ephesians if you want to read along with me I'm reading in Ephesians uh 6:2 Paul says we wrestle I want you to underline that in your Bible we wrestle now if we cannot be demon possessed why are we wrestling there should be no battle but the fact is Paul knew better than that he said yes we are wrestling against the perception of the (18:32) darkness brothers and sisters Revelations 12 and9 the whole world has lost that battle they are all deceived you listen to me when you're walking in the light of the word of God and you're in that zombie army called the s 12 and9 the whole world has lost that battle they are all deceived you listen to me when you're walking in the light of the word of God and you're in that zombie army called the world where everybody is zombies they believe what they've always been taught they're walking to the drums of the pi Piper of hell they're literally like zombies you can try to show them truth they refuse to see it you can try to bring them the light of the gospel because their eyes are blind they cannot see these beloved (19:11) have been taken over by this demonic Nephilim spirits that have invaded the human Minds that's why Yahweh tells you not to suffer a witch to live God said if you find a witch killer why because witches try to connect you with what you think is your family but it is really it is your family it's the Nephilim Spirit that's familiar to us and give them a body to live in and they take over your body you'll look one day and you'll be so angry and you don't even know where that anger come from that's why the Bible said resist the darkness Satan and (19:54) it will flee from you your job every day is to resist the darkness Satan can only possess you these demon Nephilim Spirit can only Bible said resist the darkness Satan and (19:54) it will flee from you your job every day is to resist the darkness Satan can only possess you these demon Nephilim Spirit can only possess you if you don't resist the lies that they tell you and the only way that you can resist the lies is to stand in truth and that's what Paul said he said your loins gir about with what with truth because and what is truth Thy word is truth oh God the problem with the church today they are not founded in truth they're founded in spirit but not in truth Paul says we wrestle we are (20:40) wrestling but not against flesh and blood why because these Nephilim Spirits are no longer flesh and blood they were flesh and blood in Genesis chapter 6 they were the natural Flesh and Blood descendants of that horrible mixture that happened happened but no longer are we wrestling against flesh and blood but they have been transformed into principalities they are now powers and rulers of the darkness of this age they are spiritual wickedness in higher Dimensions or higher places than we're able to see in the flesh you're (21:23) wrestling against them listen if you're listening to me right now and you're a wickedness in higher Dimensions or higher places than we're able to see in the flesh you're (21:23) wrestling against them listen if you're listening to me right now and you're a Believer you are wrestling against the Nephilim that want you to sweep your house and get it ready for them to take over your thoughts to make you rebellious like they are to make you hate like they hate to make you bitter like they're bitter to make you angry like they're angry to make you turn against God like they've turned against God to make you religious like they're religious listen these Spirits are looking for an empty house to live (22:02) in they're in dry places the Bible said they're looking that's why whenever Yeshua cast them out of the lunatic in the garden of of the Gatherings what was what did those demon Nephilim beg yua let us go into the pigs please let us find a place to drive them insane like we're insane Brothers there's an insane spirit that is taking over minister I just heard of a minister a few weeks ago been married to a h a wonderful wife for years pastored great churches all of a sudden something entered the Mind something entered the marriage you've (22:44) got to resist s ago been married to a h a wonderful wife for years pastored great churches all of a sudden something entered the Mind something entered the marriage you've (22:44) got to resist saints of God you've got but how do you resist you don't do it by any other way than what Paul said by girting your loins with truth taking on not half the armor of God but the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand these Nephilim Invaders that try to enter your mind and possess you did you know you can be sitting in the house of God feeling the presence of God experience the spirit of God and be demon-possessed did you know that absolutely we have proof of it all through the scriptures I can show you (23:32) Time After Time where yua came and cast the demons out what do you think he what do you think he was speaking to when he told Peter get behind me Satan he said that to one of his own Apostles get behind me Satan why because beloved your mind is the Battleground around and it must be won by the word of God or the word of demons and you have to stand guard at your mind with the truth of God's word you know every morning when my wife wakes up she first thing she does is she goes gets her the word of demons and you have to stand guard at your mind with the truth of God's word you know every morning when my wife wakes up she first thing she does is she goes gets her promises from God that he (24:20) has given her she takes the word of God and she protects her mind she protects her day you must get into that habit quit believing the deception of spiritual wickedness take unto you the whole armor of God stand therefore and stand with your loins G about with truth and then put on the breastplate of righteousness which means Holiness unto God live a life of commandment keeping so that you can protect your heart where does the breastplate go over your heart protect your heart from lawlessness Rebellion protect it by (25:04) doing right by obeying God every day strive to obey him even if you don't do it completely right strive to enter in at the Straight Gate and then after you've done that an interesting verse Ephesians 6:15 says and your feet Shaw with the preparation of the gospel of peace I never understood what that verse meant until tonight as I begin to study it and I found something quite amazing you know our feet is what secures us it gives us a security as we I never understood what that verse meant until tonight as I begin to study it and I found something quite amazing you know our feet is what secures us it gives us a security as we walk out into the world on the Ragged on the jagged rocks and through you know the human (25:44) world our shoes give us a security and here Paul says to uh and that word shod means bind you know when you put your feet on you're binding your feet he says and and bind yourself with the preparation of the gospel of peace that word preparation there is preparing and the gospel of peace there is not the normal Greek word for the Gospel of Jesus Christ it's another kind of gospel it's the true gospel and it's the gospel of the coming kingdom of God go look it up it's quite interesting so he said secure Yourself by preparing for the (26:26) coming kingdom of God this is the only way to protect yourself from demon possession and the problem with the church today is they don't know about the coming kingdom of God and so therefore they're not preparing on a daily basis to rule and reign with Christ to be counted worthy of that reward of government so therefore Satan comes to you and tries to tell you God doesn't re not preparing on a daily basis to rule and reign with Christ to be counted worthy of that reward of government so therefore Satan comes to you and tries to tell you God doesn't have a plan that he don't care you know live however you and you'll believe all that and become demon-possessed but if you've got truth Tru if you've got righteousness and if (27:01) you have the revelation of the coming kingdom of God you're going to secure Yourself by preparing for that Kingdom verse 16 above all take the shield of Faith so that you can uh quench the fiery darts of the wicked now I want to talk about those darts of the wicked that word Dart there means Arrow have you ever seen Cupid drawing back his arrow and he shoots that arrow and somebody falls in love with someone well you know that's a cute thing but did you know that's paganism by the way that's why we do not celebrate Valentine's it's (27:40) all based on paganism but there's great truth behind that story because demon Spirits which is what cupid was uses the atmosphere to shoot darts into your mind they sure do they shoot their life they tell you what they know they're familiar with you their family they know how you think and ses the atmosphere to shoot darts into your mind they sure do they shoot their life they tell you what they know they're familiar with you their family they know how you think and the moment somebody rejects you they'll shoot a dart and say you know what why did God allow that to happen the minute one of your loved ones die unexpectedly they'll shoot a dart well why didn't he answer your prayers see and they're hoping that their arrows (28:20) will find a weak place in your house so that they can zoom in and move in and take over you and turn you into a bitter saint of God that's what they desire to do but Paul said faith faith says God has a plan you know someone asked me what's the best definition of faith and and I felt the Holy Spirit the ruach cadesh gave me this answer true faith is trusting that God will do what's best for everyone involved if you can ever get to that point where you believe that where you really believe that God's going to work it out for what's best for (29:06) everyone involved that's true faith and Paul said take that Shield right there take that Shield when someone dies or someone doesn't get healed When you pray for them Paul said put that Shield up d that's true faith and Paul said take that Shield right there take that Shield when someone dies or someone doesn't get healed When you pray for them Paul said put that Shield up and say hey I have faith that God's working it out for everybody what's best and when you have that Faith now you're protected from that Dart that they just shot those demon Spirits just like cupid draw back your bow well they draw back their bow and they'll shoot a lie straight into your spirit mind so Paul says take up that Shield of faith and (29:44) you'll be able to quench those lies the moment they come into your mind and then he said take the helmet of salvation what does that mean I I was shocked a while ago as I really researched the Greek words there what Paul said there is instead of the helmet of salvation he actually said the hope of Salvation when you look that up if you've got the hope of Salvation then you can quench these lies of the enemy but here's the problem the modern church has been so deceived by these Ministers of light that they think they're already (30:21) saved see I'm fixing to show you how Satan gains entrance into your mind if you believe you're already saved then guess Ministers of light that they think they're already (30:21) saved see I'm fixing to show you how Satan gains entrance into your mind if you believe you're already saved then guess what you can be demon-possessed and it really don't matter to you because you're saved and whatever will be will be but if you know that you only have the hope of Salvation then you will daily be on guard watching observing to make sure that you're counted worthy to enter in into the joys of the Lord so beloved take up the hope of Salvation And The Sword of the spirit which is the word of God we (31:05) started off the whole armor of God with your loins GED about with truth what is that the word of God and we end with the word of God you've got to get rid of the words of the Nephilim spirits that are looking for bodies they need your body they want to hate through you they want to be bitter through you they want to be drunk through you you they want to murder through you they want to be perverted in their minds through you they want to destroy everything that God loves marriage they need politicians to pass their laws so they move into the (31:42) minds of these politicians they need world leaders that y want to destroy everything that God loves marriage they need politicians to pass their laws so they move into the (31:42) minds of these politicians they need world leaders that will push nuclear buttons and Destroy mankind because this is their desire tonight take up the shield of Faith put on the whole armor of God and protect yourself against the lies of the enemy you've got what it takes the Holy Spirit lives within you but the holy spirit will not protect you and it will not do your job of watching and standing on guard on a daily basis beloved if I would have allowed myself the childhood that I had the life that I had I could hate (32:26) everybody I could despise the world world I could shut myself off and believe that no one loves me I could believe all of those things and become their body I could be their Temple for them to work through I could return evil for evil but the Holy Spirit lives in my mind oh and what a fighter he is and when I make him Lord of my life and every day I protect my mind from those Arrow then I can be counted worthy for the coming kingdom of God if this lesson has blessed you would you share it with someone right now maybe they need to (33:11) ind from those Arrow then I can be counted worthy for the coming kingdom of God if this lesson has blessed you would you share it with someone right now maybe they need to (33:11) hear this word visit our YouTube channel we have over
