TOS026 Prayer- Protection, Deliverance, and Cleansing with Sheila Canup

TOS026 Protection, Deliverance, and Cleansing Prayer with Sheila Canup  for audio: TOS026: Protection, Deliverance, and Cleansing Prayer | Listen Notes

Truth of the Spirit with Patti Brunner welcomes Sheila Canup for the series on Prayer-Reaching Out to God.  As Sheila teaches on Deliverance, Protection and Cleansing Prayer, she shares her “on the job training” deliverance experiences.  Unless you know your authority in Christ and are sure of the Holy Spirit’s power working in you leave it alone!  Because like the woman sweeping her house and had it all cleaned out of spirits, and did not fill it, seven more came back.  But sometimes when we are praying for people deliverance prayer becomes necessary.  When it does, we need to know what and how to minister in the area of healing and releasing.   We have all had something that had to be taken out of us that we didn’t know was there.  We’ve been affected by childhood traumas and just life in general by people we are around, by literally being unaware that spirits can come within us.  Now, we are not talking about possession.     We are talking about oppressed, being attacked by demonic forces as when prayer for inner healing seems to accomplish nothing—the “constant loser” script, falling back into the same thing over and over and over.

TOS023 Armor of God Winning the Battle with Ken Hunter (Part 8b) and Lissa Applewhite’s Conclusion

TOS023 Winning the Battle with Ken Hunter (Part 8b) and Lissa Applewhite’s Conclusion ;

for Audio

Truth of the Spirit welcomes Ken Hunter as he completes part 2 of his talk “Winning the Battle” as we wrap up the series on the Armor of God with a closing by Lissa Applewhite. 

Advance your spiritual journey.  That which does not grow, stagnates.   Lots of people complain, say “somebody should do something” – well, be part of it!  Recognize the battles in our lives.  Morals are not defined by us.   They are inherent – but can fool ourselves.  Luke 6:46 “Why do you call me Lord, Lord, but don’t do as I say?”  We say “Lord AND Savior” and just focus on the Savior part.  Is He your Lord or not?   Live as we want the world to be, as we want eternity to be, as Christ instructed us to be.  Trust in the Lord – stand on firm ground.  Don’t believe the lies.  Allow the Lord to fight for us.  Realize our role; we are all in the fight for salvation – everyone, whether they think it or not, want it or not.  Change the world by changing our country; change our country by changing your state.  Change your town by changing your family.  Change your family by allowing the Lord to change you.

TOS022 Armor of God #8a Winning the Battle with Ken Hunter

TOS022 Winning the Battle with Ken Hunter (Part 8a); for Audio

Truth of the Spirit welcomes Ken Hunter as he discusses Winning the Battle as we wrap up the series on the Armor of God.  This episode is the first part of his talk. We talk about Spiritual Warfare, but what really is the War?  Simply: Good vs Evil, God’s plan vs Satan’s attempting thwarting of that plan.  What’s at stake: Salvation & eternal life, uniting with God in Heaven or being isolated in the despair of Hell – it’s just that straightforward.  Think of this: Jesus mentions hell and Satan more than any other part of Bible.  THE GOOD NEWS is that we’ve won the war – Satan is defeated.  The power is Good is vastly more powerful than that of Evil.  By why then is there still a battle?  Sin keeps us from our salvation – we choose or reject our participation in the victory.  People say sin doesn’t impact the world, that’s just such a blatant lie.  More of the dark victories are in the subtler aspects, hidden in the undercurrents.

TOS021 Helmet of Salvation with Rick Brunner

TOS021 Helmet of Salvation with Rick Brunner (Part 7); for Audio

Truth of the Spirit episode TOS021 Helmet of Salvation with Rick Brunner is part 7 of the Armor of God series. The Helmet of Salvation is the final piece of armor presented in the series.  The Helmet of Salvation is a family heirloom passed down through the generations to recall the salvation given by Jesus through the cross, death and resurrection.  It is a gift given at Baptism for us to wear for the rest of our lives.  It helps us to think more clearly and recognize God.  The enemy tries to penetrate the helmet not by hitting us over the head but by getting under it with thoughts and memories of failure and temptations.  But the strength of the Helmet of Salvation is that it has been worn by all those who came before you.  Each saint, each holy man and woman have their memories to share.  The Helmet of Salvation was worn—indeed it was forged—by Christ himself.  He continues to wear it with you and thus your strength comes from this.  “Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world.”1 John 4:4.

TS020 Truth of the Spirit; Sword of the Spirit with Sheila Canup

The Sword of the Spirit is part 6 of 7 of the series on the Truth of the Spirit Armor of God.  Ephesians 6:17 says, “And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”  During our darkest hours Satan will come to tempt us or torment us and attack us.  He doesn’t stop.  He tempts us to question the Father‘s will for us and his love for us.  He looks for every opportunity to lead us to discouragement and depression and despair.  The lies are overcome by the light of truth in God’s Word and the Sword of the Spirit.

TOS019 Armor of God #5 Shield of Faith with Lissa Applewhite

TOS019 Shield of Faith with Lissa Applewhite (Part 5) ; for Audio

The Shield of Faith is part 5 of 7 of the series on the Truth of the Spirit Armor of God. Ephesians 6:16 says, “At all times carry faith as a shield; for with it you will be able to put out all the burning arrows shot by the evil one.”  A shield is something we must pick up and hold up in front of us or it does no good!  While a physical shield protects us physically, faith can protect our spiritual lives even in the middle of physical trials.  Satan is always hurling his fiery darts of fear, doubt and worry in our direction, but the only time they can hit us is when we let our shield of faith down.  When we allow doubt to creep in, as Peter did when distracted by the waves, we will start to sink.
