If we 'take' God's Word ...
(1) God's Word Is True and God Keep's His Word
John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
2 Timothy 2:25,26 In meekness instructing those that oppose
themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the
acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves
out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his
will.Psalm 119:151,152 Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments
are truth. Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that
thou hast founded them for ever.Psalm 12:6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in
a furnace of earth, purified seven times.Psalm 19:7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the
testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.Psalm 119:144 The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting:
give me understanding, and I shall live.John 17:18,19 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I
also sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify
myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.Deuteronomy 7:9 Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God,
the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that
love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;1 Corinthians 1:9 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the
fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.1 Coronthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as
is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to
be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation
also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
(2) Good news ... deliverence comes via having sins forgiven
Luke 1:77 To give knowledge of salvation(deliverance) unto his
people by the remission of their sinsJohn 14:30 ... the prince of this world cometh, and(but) hath nothing in me.
(3) If we confess our sins ... He is faithful and just to forgive ...
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to
forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
(4) But ... If we won't forgive other's ... we will be delivered
to tormenters (demons) until our debts are paid in full (so we
better be ready to forgive when asked at least 70 x 7 times ... woe
to those who divorce and remarry while their spouse is still living
... for these are among those who have hardened their heart against
forgiveness)Matthew 6:12-15 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our
debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will
also forgive you:But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your
Father forgive your trespasses.Matthew 18:21-35 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft
shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven
times?Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but,
Until seventy times seven.Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king,
which would take account of his servants. And when he had begun to
reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand
talents. But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him
to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and
payment to be made. The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped
him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed
him, and forgave him the debt.But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants,
which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took
him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest. And his
fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have
patience with me, and I will pay thee all. And he would not: but
went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry,
and came and told unto their lord all that was done.Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou
wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou
desiredst me: Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy
fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till
he should pay all that was due unto him.So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from
your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.Luke 11:2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say,
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom
come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.Give us day by day our daily bread.
And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is
indebted to us.And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall
go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three
loaves; For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I
have nothing to set before him?And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door
is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and
give thee.I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is
his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give
him as many as he needeth.And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye
shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For every one
that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that
knocketh it shall be opened.If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he
give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him
a serpent? Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your
children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy
Spirit to them that ask him?
(5) Some demons come out only by (true belief in God's Word) with
prayer and fastingMatthew 17:18-21 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out
of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we
cast him out?And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I
say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall
say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall
remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
Mark 9:19-29 He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation,
how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring
him unto me.And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the
spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.
And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto
him?And he said, Of a child. And ofttimes it hath cast him into the
fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any
thing, have compassion on us, and help us.Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible
to him that believeth.And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with
tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked
the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I
charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and
he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.
And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him
privately, Why could not we cast him out?And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by
prayer and fasting.
Shalom shalom,
David
