Apostle Sedrick & Pastor Angela Davis “The City of Life Ministries” Email: [email protected] 1 Oh Lord, Deliver My Soul The soul craves to do the things that it has become familiar and accustomed to doing all its life and it is our duty to sever every tie that it is trying to fulfill. The soul will tempt you by sending thoughts to your mind and then baiting you to accept these thoughts as your own. Once you do this the battle is on. • James 1:13-15-13Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:14But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.15Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. Therefore Paul said we must cast down our imaginations whenever it rises up against the things of God and be ready to take revenge against the source of their origination. • 2Corinthians 10:5-6-5Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;6And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. We must monitor our thoughts because our mind is inside of our soul and whenever the soul is not pure the mind will not operate in purity. • Titus 1:15-5Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. The soul must be washed and cleansed continuously so that we can renew our thinking and transform our minds. This is the only way to access freedom in the spirit. • 1Peter 1:9,22-23-9Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.22Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:23Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever. • John 15:3-3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. • Ephesians 5:25-27-25Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;26That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,27That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. God knew the deliverance of the soul would take much work and knowledge so he tells us in the scriptures. • Isaiah 53:11-11He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. • 1Peter 2:11-11Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; • Luke 21:19-19 In your patience possess (master) ye your souls. Oh Lord, Deliver My Soul Apostle Sedrick & Pastor Angela Davis “The City of Life Ministries” Email: [email protected] 2 It takes much patience to master the soul, but it can be achieved through consistently applying the word of God to our souls’ issues and believing that the word has the power to do what it says it can do. • James 1:2-4-2My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;3Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.4But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. • James 1:5-8- 5If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.6But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.7For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.8A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. The mastering of the soul is not a battle for the unskilled because our enemy is subtle and cunning above every beast that has ever existed. This is the reason that Paul said that we must be prepared for a war because the spiritual powers and rulers will wrestle to keep a stronghold on our mind. • Ephesians 6:11-12-11Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. The high place in our mind is our imagination and it is constantly infiltrated by the thoughts and desires which come from our past spirit which sends them through our thoughts like fiery darts that come out of nowhere. This is what is called the “wiles” of the devil. These “wiles” are the messages of Satan that are subtly sent to our mind to get us to entertain a secret conversation within. • 2Corinthians 12:7-7And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, • 2Corinthians 11:3-3But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. • 2Corinthians 4:4-4In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, We have been trained to be “busy bees” since the time we could first attend school and this is the routine that Satan has designed for us so that we never have time to learn what he is doing to our souls. Busy going to work, busy going to school, busy going to church services, busy dealing with friends and family, busy going out to enjoy the weekends, busy cleaning, busy cooking, busy pursuing our life’s ambitions, we are just busy with a whole lot of spiritually unproductive things. The reason that bible study is the least attended service of all is because there is no action and we are forced to sit still and listen to the word of the Lord. Have you ever noticed that when we are forced to sit still for more than 30 to 40 minutes, we find ourselves struggling to stay awake? This is a sign to be aware of. You will never learn what type of Oh Lord, Deliver My Soul Apostle Sedrick & Pastor Angela Davis “The City of Life Ministries” Email: [email protected] 3 discipline it takes to master your soul if you cannot learn what discipline is required to master your schedule. It is just that simple. God also requires a 10 percent tithe of your daily time, but this is not ever stressed in church. It is amazing how many times during the week; month and year we rob God of his time! • Malachi 3:8-8Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. The busy soul cannot receive the information it needs to gain revelation for transformation. The course of our lives and the way of religion have trained us to be busy all the time and in doing this we have laid our souls in the pathways of the devil. We think we know what we are doing because we are strong just like Samson. But see the revelation of Delilah’s words. • Judges 16:6-6And Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, wherein thy great strength lieth, and wherewith thou mightest be bound to afflict thee. • Judges 16:15-17-15And she said unto him, How canst thou say, I love thee, when thine heart is not with me? thou hast mocked me these three times, and hast not told me wherein thy great strength lieth.16And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, so that his soul was vexed unto death;17That he told her all his heart, and said unto her, There hath not come a razor upon mine head; for I have been a Nazarite unto God from my mother's womb: if I be shaven, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man. Once Delilah gets you to lay your head in her lap it is just a matter of time before she finds your weakness and then betrays you. Samson told his secrets because his soul was vexed by Delilah’s words. Once he spoke out of his emotions, he gave the devil what he needed to take his strength and blind him. • Judges 16:18-21-18And when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this once, for he hath shewed me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and brought money in their hand.19And she made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him.20And she said, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself. And he (knew) wist not that the LORD was departed from him.21But the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes, The seven locks of Samson’s head are symbolic of the seven spirits of God which make up the Holy Ghost which Isaiah prophesied about. • Isaiah 11:2-3-2And the (1)spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the(2) spirit of wisdom and(3) understanding, the spirit of(4) counsel and(5) might, the(6) spirit of knowledge and of(7) the fear of the LORD;3And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: Oh Lord, Deliver My Soul Apostle Sedrick & Pastor Angela Davis “The City of Life Ministries” Email: [email protected] 4 Once Samson listened to the words of Delilah his soul became bound up. This is exactly what happens to us when we listen to the voice of our old ways. All of mankind is subject to soul ties! This is how the process of soul tying takes place. A soul tie is formed when you are extremely close to someone or something, i.e. best friends, your car that you must wash every week. A soul tie is also formed with every person you have had sex with. Demons cause you to have ungodly soul ties. Soul ties with friends • 1Samuel 18:1 "When David had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own life." Soul ties with pastors or leaders • 2Samuel 20:2 "So all the men of Israel withdrew from David and followed Sheba son of Bichri: but the men of Judah stayed faithfully with their king, from the Jordan to Jerusalem." Soul ties with your husband/wife • Genesis 2:24 "Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and shall become united and cleave to his wife, and they shall become one flesh." Soul ties in adultery and fornication • Genesis 34:2,3 "And when Shechem son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he seized her, lay with her, and humbled, defiled, and disgraced her. But his soul longed for and clung to Dinah daughter of Jacob, and he loved the girl and spoke comfortingly to her young heart's wishes." *This is just one reason to teach your children not to have sex before marriage. Not only is it sin but you form an ungodly soul tie with that person. Soul ties with world • Joshua 23:13 "Know with certainty that the Lord your God will not continue to drive these nations from before you; but they shall be a snare and trap to you, and a scourge in your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from off this good land which the Lord your God has given you." Many times, ungodly soul ties will come in ministry through a spirit of imitation, covetous and idolatry. Understand this: ungodly soul ties can be formed no matter how much you love the Lord and worship Him and serve Him. You can have demons, and you can have ungodly soul ties. They are two different things. We must break ungodly soul ties in Jesus' name. It is quite simple and easy to break these ungodly soul ties. Here is an example of the type of prayer you need to say to get deliverance from ungodly soul ties: “Father, in Jesus' Name forgive me for allowing ungodly soul ties to be formed in my life. In Jesus' Name I break all ungodly soul ties I have with (name the people, places and things such as my grandparents, mother, father, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, sons, daughters, pastors, other Christians, churches, movie stars, singers, evangelists, my boss, my employee, my doctor, pet, etc.). Oh Lord, Deliver My Soul Apostle Sedrick & Pastor Angela Davis “The City of Life Ministries” Email: [email protected] 5 The list can go on and on as the Lord gives you discernment, break each ungodly soul tie in Jesus' Name. After breaking the ungodly soul tie, you will need to cast the demons out. Example: In Jesus' Name I command all demons of ungodly soul ties to leave me now. I command the spirit of (name the person, place or thing) to come out of me now. Keep going until you believe all demons have gone. You may have to deal with some of this every day until you believe that you have gotten rid of all the demons and broken all ungodly soul ties. If you are not sure that you have an ungodly soul tie with a thing or person say their name and the thing you don’t like about your relationship with them and the Holy Spirit will reveal the truth to you. The most difficult soul ties to break are ungodly religious soul ties. Many people are under the power of these spirits because they covet another person’s anointing and style of ministry in an unhealthy way. Have you ever witnessed a person who sounds, preaches, and acts exactly like a famous television preacher? This is evidence that a soul tie exists. Ungodly soul ties are the result of demonic spirits being present in one’s soul. These demons operate very craftily, and they know the law. We must be incredibly careful that we do not give our soul ties more opportunity to exert stronger holds over us by committing the same sins over and over after we have asked for deliverance from that spirit. Matthew 12:43-45-43When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.44Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.45Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Once you go through a deliverance of a demonic oppression and soul tie, you must get rid of everything associated with that soul tie. Once you throw out and destroy all outside influences then you must fill yourself inwardly with new godly soul ties that will give no room for the unclean spirits to enter back inside of your soul. The problem is that the study of the soul takes too much time and we don’t have room on our schedules to learn these things so we continue to be busy and just go to the church services so we can feel like we have fulfilled our obligation to God. I pray that your eyes have been opened and that you will seek to understand and apprehend the things of God so that your mind, body and soul can be set free. Can God trust you with the duty to seek after him with all your might? There will be some of us who tap into the soul of God and become tied into his ways but there will be many who will not because we feel like it takes too much work. Which type of saint are you? Are you ready for a deeper walk with him? May God’s light shine upon you and your house. Oh Lord, Deliver My Soul
