What's up family? Peace and blessings. Peace and blessings. Mark the messenger. We're back video. Man, this one's going to be about seven signs God is delivering you from demonic cycles and demonic strongholds. These are all things I'm writing on this whiteboard are things that I went through, things that I battle with, which I'm pretty sure a lot of you guys could relate just by sharing my testimony, also sharing God's word, too. Let's go. Let's go, man.
The number one sign you will see, this is the number one sign that you will see when God has delivered you from demonic cycles, demonic strongholds. So what the enemy does, cuz remember, the enemy knows the things that you're about to receive. Okay? Just like how before Christ had his ministry and he was preaching the word, the devil came to him when he was fasting for 40 days and 40 nights because before that, you know, the devil knew what God, what Christ was about to do in in the world. You know, so the devil tried to stop that. Okay. There's many times in the Bible where people were about to receive their blessing and the devil tries to come. You know, even the Bible says a parable, uh, where Jesus talked about in Luke 8:11-15, the parable of the sower. One hears hears a word, but then here comes the devil and takes away the word out of their hearts. Okay? At least they believe. Okay? So best believe when you're about to be delivered from a demonic cycle, demonic spirit, unclean spirit, or demonic stronghold, best believe the devil, he is going to attack. Okay?
So Satan will try to attack to get you to give up, to get you to be demotivated, to get you to, you know, give up the faith and make you feel like, okay, maybe I'm not worthy enough. The enemy loves doing that. Okay? So when the devil's attacking you, okay, when you're doing the right thing, you should rejoice because the devil doesn't want you to walk that straight and narrow path of salvation. The devil wants you to be doing the things that you used to do because the things that you used to do were, you know, most, not everybody, but you know, the old way is the old lifestyle before you became born again was a sinful lifestyle. And the devil wants to keep you in that because when you're living a sinful lifestyle, you're living a life that does not seek repentance. You're not going to grow spiritually. You know, you're not going to be what God calls you to be when you're just living in willful sin. Okay? And I know a lot of people don't want to hear that, but that's just the truth. Okay?
So, the devil, he does not want you to reach high levels. Doesn't want you to reach a new level. And like I always tell you guys, new levels, new devils. And when God is breaking you free from the stronghold, he's breaking you free from the strongholds. These devils are going to pop up. Okay? The devil will do his best. Okay? He will attack you in your dreams. Let's say if you gave up porn, okay? You gave up your lust and you're going to have a dream of a success or in porn. You're going to have a sexual dream. This is not by mistake. This is not not a coincidence. This is what you call spiritual warfare. Okay? Whatever sin that you were that was keeping you in bondage, whatever demonic cycle, whatever stronghold, Satan is going to work through that stronghold that you opened, remember, cuz we open those doors for the strongholds. Strongholds just come into our life. We open it most of the time cuz I know there's times, let's say you're a child, someone messes with, you know. So, but for the most part, all these strongholds and unclean spirits, we open that door for them to come in, you know, through disobedience, through sin, through rebellion. Okay?
So, always keep that in mind, man. When the devil's attacking you for doing the right thing, continue to do the right thing. But just know that he has to flee from you eventually. When you're submitted to God and you're continuously resisting him, he has to leave you alone. Okay? Just like when Christ was fasting, the devil left him alone cuz the devil saw, "Okay, I can't mess with him. He's too wise." Okay? He He's He's not lukewarm. He's not double-minded. He really loves God. He's really about his walk. All I'm going to leave him alone and I'm going to get the next person. I'm going to get the one who's just carnal, the one who's just religious, the one who's just lukewarm. I'm going to go mess with him. That's what the devil's going to do. So, he's going to leave you alone when you're submitting to him, when you're resisting him, and he's going to go get someone else who's, you know, living double-minded, being lukewarm, opening doors.
So, the number the number two sign that God is breaking you free from the demonic struggles, breaking you free from the demonic cycles. And I've been through this, man. So, this I'm I'm really passionate about what I'm speaking of. But anyways, so it says you will no longer desire sin. Okay? Not to say that you're never going to sin again. Okay? We all know what the Bible says. If a man says he's without sin, he is a liar and the truth is not in him. Okay? So always, that's in 1 John 1 verse uh 8 to 10. I'll leave a verse somewhere on the screen here or maybe over there. Okay? So you no longer desire to sin. That's one sign, guys, that you're you're breaking free. Okay? Not only you're breaking free, you're getting stronger. Okay? You're leveling up. Okay? Remember, like I said, guys, always keep this in mind. Always meditate on this. New levels, new devils. When you're about to level up, prepare, okay? Be wise, walk in wisdom, walk in understanding, you know, let the Holy Spirit, you know, work in your life so you can see the things, you know, before they come. So you can see these devils before they come. You could see it. You can see it.
So number two sign is you're no longer, you no longer desire to sin. Okay? You want to you want to live this righteous path. You want to be set apart. Okay? Like and like I said, you know, I'm not saying that you're never going to sin again. We're human beings. We're always going to fall short eventually, you know, but we're trying our best, you know. Most importantly, remember God, he tries the heart. Okay? So, he knows that you know you know he knows that you're resisting the devil. He knows that you're submitted to him and you no longer have a desire to live your old lifestyle. Living in the flesh, living in sin, you know, living being like the world. Okay. You're you're you're becoming set apart more and more. Okay.
Number three is God will isolate you so your mind is focused on him. Okay. So, God will isolate you because your mind is focused on him and there's no more temptation. This one thing that I noticed when God isolated me, it was no more temptation. It's because back then I was weak. So if I was with the wrong person and even though I may have told that person, no, I'm not trying to do that no more and I see them doing it next to me, I'm going to fall, you know, I'm going to fall short because it's, you know, I'm being tempted and even though it's not it's not that person's fault, it's my fault cuz I shouldn't even be around them. Okay? So, one thing that I noticed that God, he completely isolated me from everybody. And as and as that was happening, I was becoming more focused on him, more focused on his plan in my life. Not only that, I started praying more. I started meditating on God's word more, more. I started uh reading my Bible more. Most importantly, you know, that's one of the most things I probably number one thing that I did when I was isolated was I would read my Bible, guys, seven hours a day. Like, no joke. I would be reading it all day. It was no more temptations, no more distractions. Okay? So that's the one thing that God will do when he's delivering me from demonic cycles and delivering me from the strongholds. And as I was isolated, I gained an intense amount of wisdom, you know, knowledge and understanding. So, you know, when I was out of my isolation season, I knew better. Okay? You know, I knew that just because I see someone doing things, I'm not going to just do it because they're doing it, you know, and I know that God rewards me for my obedience. So when I'm resisting these temptations, when I'm resisting the urge to fall into willful sin, I know that the heavenly Father is going to bless me, you know, it might not be instantly, but I know that me staying on the right path, the blessings will come. Okay? And I and I also understand that sin is death. You know, that's what's the wages of sin is death. And me falling short to something that's just temporary dopamine, temporary pleasure is just is a waste of time, bro. It's just a waste of time. And then on top of that, now you got to fight. Since he opened up the door, now you have to fight those demons. Now you have to fight those strongholds. I'm like, I'm not I'm not I'm good, bro. I'm good. I'm good, man.
So, that's another sign, guys, when God's isolating you. And now, of course, people could be when God's trying to isolate someone, you know, they keep on opening those doors. But, you know, you being wise, you being a a chosen one, when God's isolating you, you you have the understanding why this is happening. And I'm, okay, I'm going to put in the work. You know, I'm going to apply my faith to put in those works to to read my Bible because that's that's a work. Reading your Bible, that's work. Fasting, meditating on God, that's all work. So, I'm going to apply my faith, true faith to put in the works. I'm not going to be lazy and slothful like most like most people. Okay.
So, number four is, oh, also the Bible says in 1 Corinthians chapter uh 1 Corinthians chapter 10 verse 13 that God will always provide a way out for uh for you to escape the temptation. So God will always provide a way out and uh that's what he did. You know, he isolated me. Let me guys know if you guys could relate to that. Um if you have if God has isolated you on your journey. If he hasn't, you know, let me know too, okay, in the comments. All right.
Number four is whenever you're about to backslide or fall short, God gives you a way out of temptations, which I just talked about. So, one thing I noticed every time I was about to get into the wrong friendship, the wrong relationship, or maybe if I was already in the wrong relationship, wrong friendship, God always gave me the signs. He always gave me the warning to you, you know, always, always, God always does, man. And when you don't take heed to the warnings, then judgment happens. Okay? When you don't take heed to the signs, okay, destruction, you know, cuz a warning always comes before destruction. God always warns you before bad things happen in your life, especially if it's you're the cause of it, okay? And you know, he always gives you a way out of temptation. The thing is, God could give you a way out of temptation, but it doesn't mean that everyone wants to go out. Some people like to stay in that sin because it feels good. It appeases their flesh or maybe because they're lonely. And man, I'm telling you guys, the wages of sin is death. It's always going to be things that's going to be you're going to regret down the line. So, yeah, God will uh provide a way out, man. Every time I was about to backslide, every time I was about to fall short, God always provided a way. So, and he will provide a way out for you, too. Okay.
Number five is God will strengthen your spirit. Yes. Yes. Yes. And what I mean by that, God will strengthen your spirit. So the Bible says in Galatians 5:16-17 that your flesh, uh, the more you feed your flesh, the more you know, the more weaker your spirit is. And the more you feed your spirit, the more stronger, uh, your spirit is. So then you no longer want to desire to sin. Okay? You no longer, you know, are going to fall into these temptations. So this is all correlating together that God strengthens your spirit. He gives you, you know, spiritual weapons, you know, spiritual understanding, you know, the the sword of the spirit, you know, you have the full armor of God on, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation. He's he's like armoring you up and preparing you and you're becoming stronger in the spirit. So, and not only do you, so you're stronger in the spirit so you won't, you know, go into the temptations, but also you're stronger to fight against, you know, Satan and his minions, okay? These agents, these demons, you know, these devils, cuz they're coming after you. They're watching you. Best believe they're watching you, okay? In the spiritual realm. Now you you know when people say monitoring spirits, you got to understand angels they monitor us too, the good angels. You have the good angels and the evil angels, the fallen angels, okay? The good angels, they monitor us too and they're writing out all the good things you do and all the bad things they do and they're reporting it to God. Okay? In the day of judgment, they all took, they all were writing down the notes. Okay? So you have the good angels. Okay? Then you have the evil ones who, you know, the wicked watch the righteous and seek to slay him. You have those demons who are just waiting, just waiting for you to open the door, waiting for you to, you know, just uh, you know, to go back and forth with to drain your energy. Okay? So always keep that in mind. I don't want to get off topic here, but God will strengthen your spirit.
All right, number six is in the midst of spiritual warfare, God gives you peace. Okay. In the midst of spiritual warfare, God gives you peace. Okay. The Bible says in Isaiah 26:3 that those who keep their mind on the Lord will will have will God will keep you in perfect peace. Okay? So when the devil's attacking you, when you're getting all these, you know, dreams that Satan's trying to tempt you, uh, when people are coming your way, falsely accusing you, lying on you, slandering you, trying to tempt you, when your family is turning against you, when your friends are turning against you, when your loved ones, okay, even in the midst of it all, God keeps you in perfect peace because it's all part of his plan. And yes, we all know that they hated him first, so they're going to hate you, too. Okay? They hated Jesus Christ, Yeshua, so they're going to hate you, too. So, even in the midst of that all, you don't even care because God has kept you in perfect peace. And you know that if you endure to the end, you will be saved. And those same people who are mocking and scoffing at you, those same people who are being used by the enemy, you know, when it's all said and done, they're going to wish that they didn't do the things they did to you. Okay? But it'll be too late. It's going to be too late. Just like how Lot's wife when she turned back and she became a pillar of salt, it was too late for her to go back. You know, she already chose the side. And in these last days, guys, people are choosing the side. And see, God's trying to get his people. The devil's trying to get his people. And you don't want to be around you being a child of God, you being a chosen one, you don't want to be around the devil's people because they're just going to lead you astray.
All right. Number seven is God sends like-minded brothers and sisters your way. Okay. We all know Proverbs 27:17, "Iron sharpens iron." So God's going to send you like-minded brothers and sisters, people who who who know the things you know, you know, spiritually. Cuz it's hard in these last days, guys, to talk about, you know, like the Bible, uh, spiritual warfare, you know, you know, things of uh things that are like spiritual things to to your certain people cuz some most people can't understand it. But best believe, God will always send maybe just you don't have that brother yet or the sister yet. In due time, God will send you one. And it's going to be it's going to be perfect, you know, because now you have someone to vent to. You have someone to talk to, someone who understands, you know, someone who's also on the narrow path to, someone who's striving to be on the narrow path to, but also take heed, okay? And use your discernment because the devil sends counterfeits, too. Okay? So, always use your discernment. The devil can send, you know, false brethren. All throughout the Bible, there were false brethren in within the group, you know, trying to lead people astray, just like how and not just only with Judas and Paul, there was always a false brethren there. So always use your discernment and be wise to understand who's of God and who's of the enemy.

Wait on God and he will strengthen you. You will fly like the uh the wings of an eagle. I believe that's in Isaiah 40:31. I love you guys so much. I'm out.
