Dear Brother John:
I would encourage you to reread what Brother Steve shared in his testimony. He said two key things about repentance that bear much weight when it comes to demonic oppression.
When we commit our lives to Christ by faith and call upon the name of the Lord turning from our sin and confessing them the word of God and His promise is true brother, we are saved.
However, even in my own life, there were AREAS in my life where I was oppressed. The reason for the oppression was due to open doors in my life through various sins and things I had been involved in. In a nut shell, I needed deliverance from demonic oppression.
Over many months after committing to being set free and closing these open doors I went on periodic fasts. I would go in my room and begin to pray and simply ask God to show me areas in my life and past that might be attributing to the oppression.
I will tell you John, that God is faithful, Jesus came to set the oppressed free. The Holy Spirit began to reveal things in my life, one by one, and as a matter of fact I was told to get a pad of paper and pen and document these things/sin/areas.
As the Spirit would reveal them, I wrote them down, and then I would confess the sin to God, renounce the sin and the oppression/hold over my life, and lastly put those sins under the atoning cleansing freeing blood of Jesus.
The key was I did this by the SIMPLE faith that i exercised when I was saved 11 years prior.
Oppression is due to open doors brother. I do not want to get into a debate whether Christians can be oppressed, but I testify to you in Jesus name, I had issues in my life that were sucking me dry, trying to destroy me and steal my joy.
Many times when people get saved brother they just ask God to forgive all their sins and just make a generic blanket confession. Confession and ultimate deliverance must be specific, and once we acknowledge these areas from our past and renounce them and put them under the blood that was shed to set us free, it is DONE.
Father God, we ask in Jesus name that you would cover Johns mind right now in the precious blood of Jesus. Father send ministering angels to his side right now and put your hedge of protection around his mind, thoughts, and spirit in Jesus name, Father God. Lord, we ask, as your body, in agreement Father God that you would have mercy on our brother John Lord God, Mercy Lord. You have promised in your word Lord that if only two would come together in agreement and ask anything in Your Sons name that You would hear us Father, and we thank You Lord that You hear us and that we ALREADY Father God have the PETITION that we DESIRE in Jesus Name.
Lord we ask that You would minister to John, lead him, direct him Lord in the way he should go as he looks to You Father God. Lord, right now in Jesus name we ask that You quicken his Faith Father God, make your voice clear Lord.
Now Lord, we confess as Your body that if we ask anything in Your name according to Your will You hear us Lord, and we speak in the power and name of Jesus to the spirits of fear, doubt, unbelief, condemnation, suicide, and the lying spirit to take their hands off John in Jesus name, and we bind their activity and their voices in Johns mind Lord and we cast down their lies and their words in Jesus name.
Father, send laborers to John, Lord he needs exhortation in Jesus name Lord, thank you Father for your Holy Spirit being with him and in him Lord for greater is He that is within John than he that is in this fallen world Lord.
Lord if there are open doors of oppression Lord, reveal them to John by Your Spirit Lord that he may confess, acknowledge, renounce, these sins and put them under the blood of Jesus!
Lord we also come against every word, thought, whispering, backbiting, unrighteous judgement, and gossip over John right now Father God that has spoken death and cursing into his life, mind, spirit, family, and ministry as a believer in Jesus Christ.
Lord anything that speaks not blessing and life IS A LIE IN JESUS NAME Father God, it is NOT from above but beneath Lord. We speak Lord life in Christ Jesus we speak blessing in Christ Jesus over John Lord in One common faith, unity, spirit, and accord Lord as the 120 in the upper room Lord we speak in agreement and we ask that you would keep John in Your holy care and keeping Lord for WHOM THE SON SETS FREE Father God IS FREE.
Lord, thank for each and every brother and sister here at SI Lord that You have led here Lord, thank You Father for their intercessions and supplications Father for John and for all the other needs that have been presented Lord.
Lord we know that you are coming back for a spotless bride Lord, Lord make us ready Lord, thank you for Your patience, longsuffering, and forebearance Lord in our lives Lord, Father in Jesus name cause us to do likewise Lord, bind us as Your people Lord together with chords that cannot be broken Lord. Lord may each and everyone of us and our families, friends, neighbors, coworkers, and enemies look at us and know Father God that we ARE Yours In Jesus name Father God by OUR LOVE for one another Lord.
Lord cause us this very hour Father to be sober, vigilant, watchful, and prayerful Lord. Lord cause us not to labor in vain Lord, Lord You must build Your house make us willing Lord, make us useful vessels Lord if not for our own sakes Lord, do it for John Lord, in Jesus name. Amen Father
