Our Vision
1. Win - Win the Lost by outreach and soul winning.
2. Consolidate - Help people get transformed from the world through “The Ultimate Journey” and encounters.
3. Disciple - Get everyone involved in servant leadership.
4. Send - Launch new life groups.
2. Consolidation
To consolidate means to join together into one whole : unite : to make firm or secure : strengthen
Many Christians lack integrity. They in fact have one way of talking and another way of living. Consolidation causes those “two” people to become one. The same person they are in the dark becomes the same person they are in the light.
Integrity - the quality or state of being complete or undivided : completeness
 | The soul is dyed the color of it's thoughts. Think only of those things that can bear the full light of day. The content of your character is your choice. Day by day, what you choose, what you think and what you do is who you become… As a life group discuss the above quote in light of Philippians 4:8 and Matthew 6:4, 6:6, 6:18 |
Two Components to Consolidation
A. Soulish
1. Mind
2. Will
3. Emotions
B. Spiritual
1. Deliverance
A. Soulish - For the notes on this portion you'll have to download the audio or video. My wife, Pastor Andrea, covered this material and it's only available in audio or video form.
From a Soulish perspective we’ve implemented a ministry called “The Ultimate Journey”. This ministry helps people pull their lives back together understanding the past in light of Christ’s forgiveness.
B. Spiritual Mark 5:1-13
1They went across the lake to the region of the Gerasenes. 2When Jesus got out of the boat, a man with an evil spirit came from the tombs to meet him. 3This man lived in the tombs, and no one could bind him any more, not even with a chain. 4For he had often been chained hand and foot, but he tore the chains apart and broke the irons on his feet. No one was strong enough to subdue him. 5Night and day among the tombs and in the hills he would cry out and cut himself with stones. 6When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees in front of him. 7He shouted at the top of his voice, "What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? Swear to God that you won't torture me!" 8For Jesus had said to him, "Come out of this man, you evil spirit!" 9Then Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" "My name is Legion," he replied, "for we are many." 10And he begged Jesus again and again not to send them out of the area. 11A large herd of pigs was feeding on the nearby hillside. 12The demons begged Jesus, "Send us among the pigs; allow us to go into them." 13He gave them permission, and the evil spirits came out and went into the pigs. The herd, about two thousand in number, rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.
Mark 5:2,6
1. The anointing of God will cause evil spirits to expose themselves; possibly even with a loud voice.
Mark 5:3-5
2. Demonic entities in the soulish realm of a person will promote certain behavioral patterns that are sinful or in the case of this man dangerous to others or one’s self.
Mark 5:7
3. Unclean spirits know the true identity of Jesus because they know him in the spiritual realm, the Second heaven.
- Acts 19:15 15(One day) the evil spirit answered them, "Jesus I know, and I know about Paul, but who are you?"
Mark 5:8
4. When talking to an unclean spirit keep the focus on expelling the spirit from the person.
Mark 5:9
5. If the spirit doesn’t immediately obey you and submit to the authority of Christ in you, you may find it helpful to ask it it’s name.
This spirit’s name like all demons is directly tied to it’s nature or agenda for that person.
Mark 5:10
6. The fact that the spirits don’t want to be cast out of the area lends support to the idea that unclean spirits may have a geographic assignment.
Mark 5:11-13
7a. Animals can be demonized. This lends credibility to the idea that demons dwell in the soulish realm of people. In the mind will and or emotions. This is a place other than the spirit of man.
7b. This also opens up the possibility that a person who’s sincerely asked Jesus into their heart may have an unclean spirit that hasn’t been expelled.
Can a Christian have a demon?
This is a good question. I believe the answer is yes but I believe the answer is yes because the reasoning that say’s a Christian can’t have a demon is flawed.
The reasoning usually goes something like this.
The Holy Spirit and an Unclean Spirit can’t dwell in the same person.
Well if that’s true a person who’s saved and has the Holy Spirit living in them shouldn’t be able to sin ever again either, right?
But most if not all of us have had some kind of struggle with sin after we came to Christ. How can this be?
It can be because your soulish realm must be continually brought under subjection to the Lordship of Christ.
Ephesians 2:6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,
In a positional sense we're righteous, however in a practical sense we've got to war by fighting the good fight of faith in order to keep our mind will and emotions doing the right thing.
Our faith is in the finished redemptive work of Jesus Christ on the cross.
Colossians 2:15
15And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.
I don’t know who has demons but I know if I have one I want it gone.
Sometimes we have integrity problems because our mind needs to be renewed.
Sometimes in can have demonic roots.
