OUR 5 CORE VALUES: 1.Everything We Do is Based on the . 2.Our Heart is to Soak Everything in . 3.Everything Flows out of and . 4.Everything we do is by . 5.Our Heart is to be in All Things. Luke 4:14-21 Jesus had a vision! To seek and save the lost To proclaim freedom to the captive To set the oppressed free There is complete and total freedom in Jesus Christ. Mark 16:16 Saved is the Greek, it is the word Sozo! It means to be completely whole, Spirit, Soul and Body! John 8:36, [AMP] “So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. (Entirely, unquestionably, and truly free).” Jesus wants us entirely, unquestionably, and truly free. Mark 5:1-5 Show me your friends and I will show you your future. Mark 4:37-40 Mark 5:6-20 This is an amazing story of the delivering power of Jesus. If Jesus can deliver a boy with a legion of demons what can Jesus do for you? True freedom is in Jesus Christ? Jesus wants us entirely, unquestionably, and truly free. We live in a spiritual world, full of demonic forces. Mark 16:17-18 Jesus cast out demons, but Jesus never went looking for demons! We believe in deliverance here at Destiny Church? If you are a disciple of Jesus Christ, you are to displace darkness and change the atmosphere everywhere you go. When demons show up, we deal with them but we are not looking for them! Can a Christian have a demon? If you really want one. You can open yourself up to anything you want to. 13 times in the ministry of Jesus there is a word that is used that is translated in our English language possessed or demoniac. Dr. Michael Brown: Greek scholars agree that the Greek verb daimonizomai should be translated “to be demonized” or “effected by a demon” rather than to be “demon possessed.” There is a broad range of demonic influence represented by this one word possessed; from being affected by or “buffeted” to being controlled by or overtaken. We are all affected by the demonic realm at some level. Ephesians 6:12-13 Most definitely you can be affected by the demonic, and you are at some level. Can a true Christ follower be possessed, ruled and controlled by a demon. Absolutely not! There is no Biblical example of Christians casting demons out of Christians. No matter what our experience has been we are going to stay with what the Word of God teaches! Core Value #1 Everything we do is based on the Word of God. Most of what we deal with is strongholds in our minds not demon possession. True freedom is in Jesus Christ! 1. Position your life for freedom. Get in proximity of Jesus and he will set you free. Matthew 18:19-20 James 5:16 Healed = Greek iaomai ; To be healed, set free and made whole. Salvation is an event, but wholeness is a process! 2. Tell your story of freedom! Psalm 107:1-2 Revelation 12:11
