Breaking Free from the Spirit of Jezebel: A Message of Hope and Deliverance

By Mike Signorelli | Deliverance | No Comments

I’ve encountered many challenges in my journey of faith as a pastor and spiritual leader. One of the most pervasive and destructive forces I’ve seen in the body of Christ is the spirit of Jezebel. Today, I want to share with you a powerful message about recognizing this spirit, breaking free from its influence, and stepping into the freedom God has for you.

Understanding the Spirit of Jezebel

The spirit of Jezebel is not just a historical reference; it’s a very real and active force in our world today. In Revelation 2:18-29, Jesus himself warns about the influence of Jezebel in the church. This spirit operates in all spheres of influence – business, arts and entertainment, government, and yes, even in the church.

Key Characteristics of the Jezebel Spirit

1. It does not want to be under authority
2. It desires to teach, not be taught
3. It seduces people away from truth and safety

One of the most striking things about this spirit is its ability to make people wander aimlessly, as if they’re lost. Many Christians today feel directionless, unsure of God’s plan for their lives. This confusion is often a sign of the Jezebel spirit at work.

The Dangers of Narcissism in the Church

Closely related to the spirit of Jezebel is the issue of narcissism. Both overt and covert narcissism can be incredibly damaging in Christian communities.

Overt vs. Covert Narcissism

Overt narcissism is easier to spot – it’s loud, demanding, and obviously self-centered. Covert narcissism, however, is more subtle and often disguises itself as false humility or victimhood.

In the story of Ahab and Jezebel (1 Kings 21), we see both types at play. Jezebel represents overt narcissism, boldly taking what she wants. Ahab, on the other hand, displays covert narcissism through his sulking and self-pity.

Signs You’ve Been Affected by Narcissistic Abuse

If you’ve been under the influence of narcissistic leadership or relationships, you might experience:

1. Doubting whether the abuse even took place
2. Feeling isolated
3. Feeling frozen or unable to take action
4. Constantly feeling like you’ve done something wrong
5. Unexplained physical ailments
6. A sense of having lost yourself

Breaking Free from Jezebel and Narcissistic Influence

The good news is that freedom is possible! Here are some steps to break free:

1. Recognize the Problem

The first step is acknowledging the presence of these toxic influences in your life. Be honest with yourself about the patterns you’ve experienced.

2. Repent and Renounce

If you’ve come into agreement with the spirit of Jezebel or narcissistic tendencies, repent and renounce those agreements. Pray something like this:

“Heavenly Father, I thank you for the blood of Jesus that washes me clean and renews me. I surrender my life to Jesus. I repent of all pride and narcissism. I renounce the spirit of Jezebel now. I break and release myself from every generational curse of Ahab and Jezebel by the blood of Jesus. In Jesus’ name, I am free.”

3. Seek Healing and Deliverance

Don’t be afraid to seek help from mature believers or professional Christian counselors. Sometimes, we need others to help us see our blind spots and pray for our deliverance.

4. Embrace Your True Identity in Christ

As you break free from toxic influences, focus on embracing your true identity as a child of God. You are not defined by your past experiences or the labels others have put on you.

The Power of Forgiveness in Breaking Free

One of the most powerful tools we have in breaking free from the spirit of Jezebel and narcissistic abuse is forgiveness. Unforgiveness often manifests as bitterness, which the Bible warns can defile many (Hebrews 12:15).

Take time to forgive those who have hurt you. This doesn’t mean what they did was okay, but it releases you from the bondage of bitterness. Speak it out loud: “I forgive [name] for [specific action].”

Restoring Safety and Trust in the Church

For many who have experienced spiritual abuse, feeling safe in a church environment again can be challenging. As a pastor, I want to create an atmosphere of safety and trust. Here are some ways we can do this:

1. Encourage open communication
2. Practice mutual submission and accountability
3. Value each person’s unique gifts and contributions
4. Foster an environment of grace and forgiveness

The Beauty of Humility in Leadership

True spiritual leadership is marked by humility. My wife Julie recently demonstrated this in a powerful way. She came to me and voluntarily laid down her title of co-lead pastor, recognizing that it was causing confusion and wasn’t necessary for her to fulfill her role in our church.

This act of humility isn’t about diminishing her value or role but about creating clarity and demonstrating the freedom we have in Christ. It’s a beautiful picture of the bride of Christ surrendering fully to Jesus, and in turn, being empowered with all the authority of the kingdom.

A Call to Freedom and Revival

As we break free from the spirit of Jezebel and narcissistic influences, I believe we’re stepping into a new season of revival. The Lord has shown me that this fall, we’re going to experience an incredible move of God. But to sustain it, we need to get things right in our hearts and in our churches.

Here’s what I believe the Lord is saying:

Stop looking at the fires of destruction behind you and start looking forward to the fires of revival ahead.
Goodness and mercy are chasing you in this season.
You’re called to be the salt of the earth, not a pillar of salt – don’t get stuck looking back!

Practical Steps for Moving Forward

As we conclude, I want to give you some practical steps for moving forward:

Stay connected to a healthy church community: Jezebel hates congregations. Don’t isolate yourself.
Be quick to listen, slow to speak: James 1:19 gives us a formula for unity in the kingdom.
Guard your heart and mind: Be careful about what influences you allow into your life, including social media and entertainment.
Pursue humility: True freedom often comes when we lay down our need for titles and recognition.
Seek the Holy Spirit’s guidance: He will teach you all things and guide you into all truth.
Practice forgiveness regularly: Don’t let bitterness take root in your heart.
Celebrate others’ successes: Break free from the spirit of competition that often accompanies Jezebel and narcissism.

Remember, the journey to freedom is often a process. Be patient with yourself and others as you navigate this path. The important thing is that you’re moving in the right direction, towards greater freedom and intimacy with Christ.

As we close, I want to remind you of the truth found in John 8:36: “So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” Claim that promise for your life today. You are not bound by the spirit of Jezebel, narcissistic abuse, or any other toxic influence. In Christ, you are free to be who God created you to be.

Let’s pray for this freedom to manifest in our lives, our churches, and our communities. I believe we’re on the cusp of a powerful move of God, and as we break free from these hindrances, we’ll see revival fire spread like never before.

Are you ready? The best is yet to come. Let’s step into this new season of freedom and revival together!

Soul Ties: Learn the Real Truth

By Mike Signorelli | Deliverance | No Comments

Over the past decades of ministry, I’ve encountered countless individuals struggling with unseen spiritual bonds. These connections, known as soul ties, can profoundly impact our lives, relationships, and spiritual well-being. In this blog post, I’ll share my insights on soul ties, including real-life examples from my ministry, biblical foundations, and practical steps for breaking unhealthy soul ties.

The Reality of Soul Ties: A Powerful Demonstration

Let me start by sharing a remarkable experience from a mass deliverance service I conducted in Southern Indiana. Among the hundreds of people seeking freedom that day, one young woman stood out dramatically.

As I approached her, the Holy Spirit granted me a vivid spiritual vision. I saw dozens of umbilical cords connected to her back, representing numerous soul ties. Guided by divine prompting, I began to sever these ungodly soul ties. The result was nothing short of extraordinary.

“I break and release you from your past right now. I cut every ungodly soul tie off of you now,” I declared with authority. The young woman’s physical reaction was immediate and intense, demonstrating the very real spiritual work taking place.

What makes this story even more compelling is the twist that came the next day. While teaching a group of pastors, I learned from this woman’s pastor that she had been a sex worker for years – a fact I couldn’t have known during the deliverance. This revelation served as a powerful confirmation of the reality and impact of soul ties.

Understanding Soul Ties: Godly vs. Ungodly Connections

To truly grasp the concept of soul ties, we need to understand that they come in two forms: godly and ungodly. Let’s explore each type:

Godly Soul Ties: Divine Connections

Godly soul ties are spiritual connections that align with God’s purposes and design. The Bible provides us with clear examples:

1. Jacob and Benjamin: In the book of Genesis, we see a deep, godly connection between Jacob and his son Benjamin.

2. David and Jonathan: Perhaps one of the most famous examples, their souls were “knit together” in a bond of friendship and loyalty.

These godly soul ties serve important purposes in our lives, including:

Ministry partnerships
Business relationships rooted in faith
The covenant of marriage
Connections within the local church, particularly with your lead pastor

Ungodly Soul Ties: The Perversion of Divine Design

Wherever there is God’s purpose through God’s design, there is Satan’s perversion through sin. Just as there are godly soul ties, there exist ungodly ones. These are the result of breaking God’s design and engaging in activities contrary to His will. The most common way ungodly soul ties form is through sexual relationships outside of marriage.

God designed sex to create a powerful bond within the covenant of marriage. When this act occurs outside of its intended context, it can result in an ungodly soul tie. These connections can lead to:

Emotional baggage from past relationships
Difficulty moving on from unhealthy relationships
Unexplained attachments to people from your past
Recurring patterns of sin or destructive behavior

The Power of Deliverance: Breaking Ungodly Soul Ties

Now that we understand the nature of soul ties, let’s discuss how to break free from ungodly ones. The process involves three crucial steps:

1. Confession of Sin

The first step in breaking ungodly soul ties is to acknowledge and confess the sin that led to their formation. This might involve admitting to fornication, adultery, or other sexual sins outside of marriage.

2. Repentance

True repentance goes beyond mere confession. It involves a genuine change of heart and a commitment to turn away from sin. When you repent, you’re making a decision never to engage in that behavior again.

3. Renunciation

This final step is perhaps the most powerful. Renunciation involves speaking out and actively rejecting the ungodly soul tie. This step is rooted in the power of the spoken word, which we see throughout Scripture.

The Importance of Spoken Renunciation

You might wonder why speaking out is so crucial in breaking soul ties. Here’s why:

God’s Creative Power: When God spoke, He created. “Let there be light,” He said, and it was so. Our words, spoken with faith and authority, carry creative power.
Kingdom Principles: In a kingdom, laws are established and contracts are broken through spoken decrees. As believers adopted into God’s royal family, our words carry authority.
Spiritual Warfare: When casting out demons, we do so by speaking in Jesus’ name. Our spoken words are powerful weapons in spiritual battles.

When you receive the authority of Christ as a believer, you must speak and decree. Your words carry power because you are adopted into a royal family.

Practical Steps for Breaking Ungodly Soul Ties

If you believe you have ungodly soul ties that need to be broken, here’s a practical guide to follow:

1. Identify the Ungodly Soul Ties: Reflect on your past relationships and experiences. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal any ungodly connections.

2. Confess: Admit to God the specific sins that led to these soul ties. Be honest and thorough.

3. Repent: Make a firm decision to turn away from these sins. Ask God for the strength to live differently.

4. Renounce: Speak out loud, rejecting each ungodly soul tie. You might say something like, “In the name of Jesus, I renounce and break the ungodly soul tie with [person’s name] formed through [specific sin]. I declare myself free from this connection.”

5. Pray for Healing: Ask God to heal any wounds left by these broken soul ties and to fill those spaces with His love and truth.

6. Seek Support: Consider talking to a trusted pastor or Christian counselor who can provide additional guidance and prayer support.

The Transformative Power of Breaking Soul Ties

The impact of breaking ungodly soul ties can be profound. Many people report feeling a sense of freedom, lightness, and renewed clarity after going through this process. They often find it easier to move forward in their lives and relationships, free from the weight of past connections.

Maintaining Your Freedom

Once you’ve broken ungodly soul ties, it’s crucial to maintain your freedom. Here are some tips:

1. Stay Vigilant: Be aware of potential situations that could lead to forming new ungodly soul ties.

2. Guard Your Heart: Be intentional about the relationships you form and the level of emotional and physical intimacy you engage in.

3. Stay Rooted in Scripture: Regular Bible study will help you discern God’s will and resist temptation.

4. Pray Consistently: Maintain a strong prayer life to stay connected to God and sensitive to His guidance.

5. Seek Accountability: Have trusted friends or mentors who can support you in your journey of freedom.

Embracing God’s Design for Connections

Understanding and addressing soul ties is a crucial aspect of our spiritual growth and emotional health. By recognizing the difference between godly and ungodly soul ties, we can cultivate life-giving relationships while breaking free from harmful connections.

Remember, as believers, we have been given authority in Christ. We have the power to break ungodly soul ties and walk in the freedom God intends for us. Whether you’re dealing with the aftermath of past relationships or seeking to build healthier connections in the future, the principles we’ve discussed can guide you toward greater spiritual and emotional wholeness.

I encourage you to take some time to reflect on your own life. Are there any ungodly soul ties that you need to address? If so, don’t hesitate to go through the steps we’ve outlined. Remember, confession, repentance, and renunciation are powerful tools in breaking these bonds.

As we conclude, I want to remind you that you’re not alone in this journey. May you experience the liberating power of God as you break ungodly soul ties and embrace the connections He has designed for your life. Remember, your best days are ahead, and in Christ, you have the authority to speak freedom into existence. Let’s continue to grow together in our understanding and application of these powerful spiritual truths.

From Darkness to Light: Ex-Witches and LGBT Individuals Share Their Journey to Christ

By Mike Signorelli | Deliverance, Demons, New Age | No Comments

I’ve had the privilege of witnessing countless lives transformed by the power of Jesus Christ. Recently, I sat down with three remarkable individuals who have powerful testimonies of leaving behind witchcraft and LGBT lifestyles to follow Jesus. In this blog post, we’ll explore their journeys and the profound truths they’ve discovered along the way.

Meet Our Guests

Before we dive into their stories, let me introduce you to our guests:

1. Naela Rose: An ex-blood witch who had a radical face-to-face encounter with Jesus
2. Richard (Richie): Came out of the LGBT lifestyle and now hosts the Redempt1on Podcast
3. Angela Scafidi: A former New Age practitioner and host of the “Heaven and Healing” podcast

Each of these individuals has a unique story of transformation, but they all share one thing in common: the life-changing power of Jesus Christ.

The Dark Reality of Blood Witchcraft

Naela’s story is particularly striking. As a former blood witch, she was deeply involved in occult practices that centered around the use of blood in rituals and spells. She explains:

“I was obsessed with blood. I mean, I was doing witchcraft and magic and spells with blood daily, and that was my life. I could manifest anything I wanted. I manifested my relationship with my ex. I manifested my house. I manifested the money I wanted, all using blood spells.”

This shocking revelation highlights the very real and dangerous nature of occult practices. Naela emphasizes that while these practices seemed to “work” in the short term, they came at a terrible cost:

“The devil will give you whatever you want, but of course you pay with your soul.”

The Counterfeit Gospel of the New Age Movement

Angela, a former New Age practitioner, sheds light on the deceptive nature of New Age spirituality. She explains how practices like yoga, astrology, and “womb magic” are actually counterfeits of true spiritual power.

Naela shared:

“There’s a whole movement called womb work and womb wisdom in the new age where women like me who were yoga teachers and who worshiped the goddess and the creation and the stars and just misplaced worship and devotion, the devil has used that to make these women obsessed with blood.”

This misplaced worship and fascination with blood rituals is a perversion of the true power found in the blood of Jesus Christ. As Christians, we understand that only the blood of Jesus has the power to cleanse, redeem, and give eternal life.

The Empty Promises of the LGBT Lifestyle

Richard shares his perspective on coming out of the LGBT lifestyle. He emphasizes the cyclical nature of constantly seeking identity and fulfillment:

“I see a lot of people, they get older. They’re not saying that marriage is called for everyone, but people who are older and they’re just so sad and oppressed, and then they start grooming other young men because they want that emotional or some kind of connection.”

This cycle of searching for identity and fulfillment outside of God’s design ultimately leads to emptiness and despair. Richard’s testimony highlights the freedom found in surrendering to Christ and finding one’s true identity in Him.

The Power of Surrender: Finding True Identity in Christ

A common theme among all three guests is the transformative power of surrendering to Jesus Christ. Richard emphasizes the importance of full surrender:

“There are stages and levels of surrender. So I just also want to encourage people to fully surrender. And when you fully surrender and die to yourself, that’s freedom. You truly have freedom. You truly have life, otherwise you’ll continue to go in cycles.”

This concept of dying to self and finding life in Christ is at the heart of the Gospel message. It’s a radical departure from the world’s emphasis on self-discovery and self-actualization.

Breaking Free from Spiritual Bondage

For those involved in witchcraft or New Age practices, breaking free often requires a deliberate renunciation of past involvement. Naela shares:

“When Jesus saved me, he gave me such a profound revelation of the blood of Jesus because I had been so obsessed with blood in the occult.”

This revelation of the power of Christ’s blood is crucial for those seeking deliverance from occult bondage. Believers need to understand that the blood of Jesus is more powerful than any demonic force or spiritual practice.

Finding Joy and Purpose in Christ

One of the most striking aspects of our conversation was the evident joy and purpose these individuals have found in Christ. Despite facing rejection and misunderstanding from their former communities, they radiate a peace and happiness that comes from knowing their true identity in God.

Angela explains:

“Happiness is synthetic. There’s a lot of enjoyment and synthetic things like that. Candy floss stuff or synthetic clothes are fine, but it’s not the real thing. You have something that’s authentic, organic. It has depth and quality and power.”

Joy is a powerful testimony to the transformative power of the Gospel. It stands in stark contrast to the temporary pleasures and fleeting happiness offered by the world.

The Burden of Self-Assigned Identity

As we discussed the struggles faced by many in our culture today, I shared an insight about the burden of self-assigned identity:

“Everybody’s trying to define themselves, and I think the burden of this generation is self-assigned identity. Because I’m a dad, I never had a dad. I had multiple stepdads. And so you want to make something of yourself. And that’s really what we’re seeing with the culture now, is I’m going to define myself as new age. I’m going to define myself within LGBT.”

This desire to create one’s own identity is ultimately exhausting and unfulfilling. In contrast, the Gospel offers us an inherited identity as children of God, freeing us from the endless cycle of self-definition.

A Message of Hope for Those Still Searching

To those still involved in witchcraft, New Age practices, or struggling with LGBT identity, our guests offer a message of hope. Nala encourages:

“If you are truly hungry for truth, you will arrive at Jesus Christ because he is truth. That’s literally one of his names. So I cried out for truth, and He’s like, here I am. So if you really, really want to know, just ask from your soul.”

Angela adds:

“Just allow yourself to embrace the idea of what if what we are saying is true. And all of this witchcraft, all this New Age stuff that I’ve been doing is not the way. Jesus is the way.”

Richard reminds us of God’s love:

“I just want to let you know that you are loved and that you’re seen and that you’re valued, that he loves you so much. Your identity is not that of an outcast. Your identity is not being alienated or feeling like you’re not seeing that you’re hidden. Your identity is that you’re son and daughter of the Lord, and He loves you so much.”

The Wild Adventure of Following Christ

As we concluded our time together, I shared a phrase that God gave me when we launched our church: to call those who say yes to Jesus “the wild ones.” Following Christ is not about losing your edge or becoming boring. It’s about embarking on the greatest adventure of your life.

Naela beautifully sums it up:

“There’s nothing more exciting than walking with Jesus and knowing God.”

When you accept the love of the Father, you wake up each day saying, “Abba, Papa, what adventure are we going to have today? What miracle are you going to do today?” This perspective breaks anxiety and fills us with anticipation for what God will do.

An Invitation to True Freedom

The testimonies of Naela, Richard, and Angela serve as powerful reminders of the transformative power of Jesus Christ. No matter your background – whether you’ve been involved in witchcraft, New Age practices, or struggled with LGBT identity – there is hope and freedom in Christ.

If you’re reading this and feeling a stirring in your heart, I encourage you to take that step of faith. Cry out to Jesus and ask Him to reveal Himself to you. He is faithful to answer those who seek Him with a sincere heart.

Remember, in Christ, you are not losing yourself – you are finding your true self. You are becoming who you were always meant to be. The adventure of following Jesus is the most thrilling, fulfilling journey you could ever embark upon.

Are you ready to become one of the “wild ones” who say yes to Jesus? The invitation is open. The choice is yours. True freedom, joy, and purpose await you in Christ.

The Power of the Blood: 7 Ways to Break Demonic Curses and Find Freedom

By Mike Signorelli | Deliverance, Spiritual Warfare | No Comments

As a pastor and deliverance minister, I’ve witnessed countless lives transformed by the power of Jesus Christ. Today, I want to share with you a powerful message about the blood of Jesus and how it can break demonic curses in your life. This teaching is based on a recent sermon I delivered, and I believe it will revolutionize your understanding of spiritual warfare and deliverance.

The Spiritual Battle We Face

Before we dive into the specifics of how the blood of Jesus breaks curses, it’s crucial to understand the nature of the spiritual battle we’re engaged in. Ephesians 6:12 reminds us that “we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

This battle is real, and it’s happening all around us. The enemy is constantly seeking to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). But here’s the good news: Jesus has already won the victory on the cross, and His blood is the key to our freedom.

The Seven Sheddings of Jesus’ Blood

In the Old Testament, we see that the blood of sacrificial animals was sprinkled seven different ways. This foreshadowed the perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Let’s explore the seven ways Jesus shed His blood and how each one brings freedom and deliverance:

1. Gethsemane: Freedom from Anxiety and Fear

In Luke 22:44, we read that Jesus sweat drops of blood in the Garden of Gethsemane. This represents His internal struggle and the immense pressure He faced. When we apply the blood of Jesus to our minds, we can find freedom from anxiety, fear, and mental torment.

Prayer point: Place your hand on your mind and declare, “Anxiety, go in Jesus’ name. Fear, loose my mind in Jesus’ name. I plead the blood over my mind.”

2. The Crown of Thorns: Complete Mental Freedom

Matthew 27:29 describes how a crown of thorns was placed on Jesus’ head. This caused His blood to flow 360 degrees around His head, symbolizing complete mental freedom. No area of your mind is beyond the reach of Christ’s healing power.

Declare: “I receive complete mental freedom through the blood of Jesus.”

3. The High Priest’s House: Healing from Church Hurt

In Mark 14:65, we see Jesus bleeding at the high priest’s house. This provision addresses the pain and hurt many have experienced within the church. If you’ve been wounded by leaders or fellow believers, know that Jesus made a way for your healing.

Prayer: “Lord, I release forgiveness for those who have hurt me in the church. I receive your healing for church hurt.”

4. The Plucking of His Beard: Strength to Endure Rejection

Isaiah 50:6 prophesied that the Messiah’s beard would be plucked out. This painful experience represents the rejection Jesus faced. Through His blood, we can find the strength to endure rejection and remain faithful to our calling.

Declare: “I am unoffendable because I am crucified with Christ. Rejection has no power over me.”

5. Scourging by Pilate: Freedom in the Political Arena

John 19:1 recounts how Jesus was scourged by Pilate, a political leader. This shedding of blood provides us with favor and freedom in the realm of government and politics. We can influence our society for God’s kingdom.

Prayer: “Lord, give me favor with leaders and authorities. Use me to bring Your kingdom influence into the political sphere.”

6. Nails in His Hands and Feet: Redemption of Our Actions

Psalm 22:16 prophetically describes the piercing of Jesus’ hands and feet. This blood redemption transforms our actions. What was once used for sin can now be used for God’s glory.

Declare: “My hands and feet are redeemed by the blood of Jesus. I use them to advance God’s kingdom.”

7. The Spear in His Side: Continual Cleansing and Renewal

John 19:34 tells us that blood and water flowed from Jesus’ side when pierced with a spear. This dual flow represents both permanent cleansing (blood) and daily renewal (water). We can walk in purity and freshness every day.

Prayer: “Thank You, Jesus, for Your blood that cleanses me once and for all, and for Your Spirit that renews me daily.”

Breaking the Power of Addiction and Demonic Bondage

One of the most powerful moments in our service came when people began bringing forward their drugs, alcohol, and paraphernalia. This act of surrender opened the door for true deliverance. If you’re struggling with addiction, know that the blood of Jesus is more powerful than any substance or demonic stronghold.

Key truth: The blood of Jesus provides a greater “high” than any counterfeit comfort the enemy offers.

Steps to Freedom:

1. Acknowledge your need for deliverance
2. Surrender the addictive substances or behaviors to God
3. Renounce any agreements made with the enemy
4. Receive the cleansing power of Jesus’ blood
5. Walk in the newfound freedom, relying on the Holy Spirit’s strength

The Importance of Forgiveness in Deliverance

Unforgiveness is one of the main footholds the enemy uses to maintain control in our lives. Jesus’ blood provides the power to forgive even the deepest hurts and offenses. When we forgive, we break the chains that bind us to our past and open the door for complete deliverance.

Prayer for forgiveness: “Lord, I choose to forgive (name the person) for (specific offense). I release them and myself from the bondage of unforgiveness. I receive Your forgiveness and healing in exchange.”

Activating the Gifts of the Spirit

As we experience deliverance and freedom through the blood of Jesus, we’re also empowered to walk in the gifts of the Spirit. The same power that breaks chains also equips us for ministry. Here are some of the gifts mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12:

– Prophecy
– Healing
– Words of wisdom and knowledge
– Discerning of spirits
– Speaking in tongues
– Interpretation of tongues

If you haven’t received the baptism of the Holy Spirit or the gift of tongues, simply ask God to fill you afresh. Open your mouth in faith and begin to speak, trusting that the Holy Spirit will give you utterance.

Testimonies of Healing and Deliverance

Throughout our service, we witnessed numerous healings and deliverances. People were set free from chronic illnesses, addictions, and demonic oppression. Here are a few examples:

– Neuropathy healed
– Tumors and cysts dissolved
– Mental health conditions improved
– Addictions broken instantly

Remember, these miracles aren’t limited to a church service. The same power is available to you right now as you read this blog post. Reach out in faith and receive your healing and deliverance.

The Power of Agreement in Prayer

One powerful moment in our service was when we had people FaceTime their sick friends and family members. We joined our faith together and prayed for healing, even for those who weren’t physically present. This demonstrates the power of agreement in prayer (Matthew 18:19-20).

Action step: Find a prayer partner or join a prayer group to increase your faith and effectiveness in intercession.

Becoming a Vessel for God’s Power

As we conclude, I want to emphasize that God is calling you to be more than just a recipient of His power. He wants to use you as a vessel to bring deliverance and healing to others. Here are some steps to prepare yourself:

1. Stay filled with the Holy Spirit through prayer and worship
2. Study and meditate on God’s Word
3. Practice using the gifts of the Spirit
4. Be willing to step out in faith and minister to others
5. Maintain a lifestyle of holiness and surrender

Conclusion: Walking in Freedom and Power

The blood of Jesus is our ultimate weapon against the enemy’s schemes. Through His seven-fold shedding of blood, we have access to complete freedom and victory in every area of life. As you apply these truths and walk in the power of the Holy Spirit, you’ll experience a new level of authority and effectiveness in spiritual warfare.

Remember, the same Jesus who set captives free 2,000 years ago is alive and active today. His blood has not lost its power. Whether you need deliverance from addiction, healing from sickness, or activation in the gifts of the Spirit, it’s all available to you through the precious blood of Jesus Christ.

I encourage you to take some time now to reflect on what you’ve read. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal any areas where you need to apply the blood of Jesus. Then, step out in faith and begin to walk in the freedom and power that is rightfully yours as a child of God.

Let’s pray:

“Heavenly Father, thank You for the powerful blood of Jesus that cleanses, delivers, and empowers us. I apply the blood of Jesus to every area of my life right now. Break every chain, heal every wound, and activate Your gifts within me. I choose to walk in freedom and authority, bringing Your kingdom wherever I go. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

Now, go forth in the power of the Holy Spirit, knowing that you are covered by the blood of Jesus. The enemy is under your feet, and greater things are yet to come!

Stop Explaining Yourself to Demons: The Power of Silence in Spiritual Warfare

By Mike Signorelli | Deliverance, Spiritual Warfare | No Comments

As a pastor and spiritual leader, I’ve encountered countless situations where believers find themselves trapped in cycles of explanation and justification. Today, I want to share a powerful revelation that could transform your spiritual walk: Stop explaining yourself to demons.

The Trap of Casting Pearls Before Swine

Matthew 7:6 warns us, “Do not cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample you.” Many of us quote this verse without considering its full implications. The consequence isn’t just being misunderstood – it’s being trampled. Some of you keep getting trampled by people you’re explaining yourself to. It’s not just that you’re misunderstood; you’re being fought and physically hurt by them.

The devil will often solicit you to explain yourself, and then use those very explanations against you. It’s a spiritual trap designed to keep you in bondage and exhaust you emotionally.

Recognizing Demons in Human Form

One of the most challenging aspects of spiritual warfare is recognizing that we’re not always dealing with people, but with demons using human bodies as vessels. You might think you’re talking to family members or coworkers, but you’re actually having full-blown conversations with demons who have used their physical body as a vehicle to sabotage your next level.

This is why it’s crucial to develop spiritual discernment. Not every conversation is what it appears to be on the surface.

The Power of Silence in Spiritual Warfare

Some of you need to embrace this truth: Silence is a statement. In our eagerness to explain ourselves, we often forget that silence can be more powerful than words.

Remember, everything you say can and will be used against you in the court of heaven. This is the time to say less but to do more. Walk it out. Don’t talk about it. Don’t explain it. Don’t look for their affirmation. If the Lord told you to do it, do it.

Breaking Unhealthy Soul Ties

Many believers struggle with unhealthy soul ties – spiritual connections that bind us to people, places, or things in ways that hinder our spiritual growth. These soul ties can be formed through various means, including:

1. Inappropriate sexual relationships
2. Emotional dependencies
3. Unhealthy spiritual affiliations

To break free from these ties, we need to:

1. Recognize the unhealthy connection
2. Repent for any sin involved in forming the tie
3. Renounce the connection in Jesus’ name
4. Release forgiveness to those involved
5. Receive God’s healing and restoration

Remember, physical intimacy produces spiritual soul ties. This is why God’s design for sexual relationships is within the covenant of marriage.

The Danger of Secondhand Offense

One of the most insidious ways the enemy works is through secondhand offense. Some of you are in bondage to someone else’s misinterpretation or offense. You’ve become infected by getting too close to emotionally and spiritually sick people.

Just as you wouldn’t get close to someone with a contagious physical illness, you need to be cautious about who you allow to influence you spiritually and emotionally.

Shifting from Moses to Joshua: Embracing Decisive Action

In the Bible, we see a stark contrast between Moses’ leadership style and Joshua’s. Moses often found himself explaining and justifying to the people, which led to exhaustion. Joshua, on the other hand, took decisive action based on God’s commands, regardless of popular opinion.

Some of you need to shift from constantly explaining yourself like Moses to executing God’s will like Joshua. It’s time to stop dragging people with you who can’t go where God is calling you to go.

Unity in Christ

Acts 2 describes the disciples gathered in the upper room, in one mind and one accord. This unity was crucial for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. However, not everyone can be part of your upper room experience.

Some people in your life may not be committed to unity or to fulfilling Christ’s prayer that we would be one. It’s okay to recognize this and adjust your relationships accordingly.

Practical Steps to Move in Silence

1. Redirect your words: Instead of explaining to people, talk to God.
2. Set healthy boundaries: You don’t have to entertain every conversation, even with family.
3. Fast from social media: Reduce your exposure to others’ offenses and drama.
4. Study the Word: Ground yourself in Scripture rather than others’ opinions.
5. Pray in tongues: Utilize this spiritual gift to communicate mysteries to God.

A Prayer to Break Free from Explanations

If you’re ready to break free from the cycle of explanation and embrace the power of silence, join me in this prayer:

“Heavenly Father, I thank you for this revelation. I forgive those who have misunderstood or misjudged me. I release the offense and bitterness. I sever every ungodly soul tie. I bind every monitoring spirit, every spirit of pride and haughtiness, every spirit of Leviathan, every spirit of divination, witchcraft, and mind control in the name of Jesus.

I command these spirits to go to the abyss, to outer darkness now in Jesus’ name, never to return. Father, cancel every assignment of strife in my life by the blood of Jesus. Release joy and peace that surpass all understanding to cover me and my home.

Lord, teach me to be a student of your Word, to hear your prophetic words but not to share them carelessly. Help me move in silence and power. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

Embracing Your Identity as a Breaker

God has called many of you to be breakers in this generation – those who break chains, break through obstacles, and break demonic powers. As a breaker, you may often feel out of place in old environments and relationships. That’s okay. You’re not called to fit in; you’re called to break through.

Remember, what you feed grows, and what you starve dies. By embracing silence and redirecting your words to God, you’re starving the enemy’s plans and feeding your spiritual growth.

Always Starting and Never Finishing? Spiritual Blockage Explained

By Mike Signorelli | Deliverance, Development | No Comments

As a pastor and speaker, I’ve encountered countless individuals struggling to break free from generational patterns and fully embrace God’s calling on their lives. Today, I want to share some powerful insights from Genesis 11:31 that can help us understand why we often settle for less than God’s best and how we can push through to experience His complete blessing.

The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob – A Phrase That Never Should Have Been

We’ve all heard the phrase “the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.” But what if I told you this phrase should never have existed in the first place? God works generationally; one generation’s “no” can become the next generation’s curse. Conversely, one generation’s “yes” can unleash freedom for future generations.

Consider this: Your decision to surrender to Jesus fully has implications far beyond your own life. It transmits down through the generations, shaping the spiritual landscape for your children, grandchildren, and beyond.

Breaking the Cycle: My Personal Journey

Let me share a bit of my own story. My biological father was a murderer, and I didn’t inherit what most would consider a “nice” middle-class lifestyle. On one side of my family, we have Sicilian mob connections. On the other, we’re hillbillies from West Virginia. In other words, I come from a background steeped in “sin of every flavor.”

When I set out to start my own family, I faced a significant challenge: How do you become what you’ve never seen? Many of you can relate. You might be trying to be a loving father without ever having experienced one yourself. Or you’re striving to be a nurturing mother without that example in your own life.

Here’s the tricky part – we often make inner vows never to become like our parents, but the devil has a way of getting us to the same destination by a different route. I vowed never to cheat on my wife, yet I did. I swore I’d never become an addict, but I fell into addiction. The enemy knows us better than we know ourselves, and he’s been playing this game for thousands of generations.

The Power of Humility and God’s Grace

Let this serve as a reminder: If you’re a Christian, you did nothing to save yourself. All of our good works were like filthy rags before the King. We need to start there. If we’re going to have a competition in the local church, let it be a humility competition.

God’s Generational Plan: The Story of Terah and Abraham

Now, let’s dive into Genesis 11:31. It reads, “Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, the wife of his son Abram, and together they set out from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to Canaan. But when they came to Harran, they settled there.”

The phrase should have been “the God of Terah, Abraham, and Isaac,” but something wasn’t completed in Terah’s generation. That assignment was then passed down to Abraham, who had to figure out how to be what he had never seen.

Settling for Less: The Danger of Partial Obedience

Terah set out for Canaan but settled in Harran – only halfway to his intended destination. This is a powerful metaphor for our spiritual lives. How many of us have made progress but settled for partial obedience?

Maybe you’re thinking, “Pastor, I drink less than I used to,” or “I’ve switched from cigarettes to vaping because it’s healthier.” Perhaps you’re saying, “I only relapse into pornography occasionally now.” But hear me clearly: If the devil can’t stop you completely, he’ll try to make you comfortable enough to settle for partial obedience.

The Holy Spirit is calling you not just away from what you used to be, but into what you’re supposed to be. Whom the Son sets free is free indeed – not partially free, but completely free.

The Blockage in Your Breakthrough: That Last 1%

Here’s a hard truth: 99% surrender and obedience is still 100% disobedience in God’s eyes. The blockage in your breakthrough might be that last 1% you’re holding onto. God wants to bring you over into 100% surrender. That’s where the favor is. That’s where the blessing flows.

You’re Never Too Old for God’s Purpose

Some might argue that Terah didn’t complete his journey because he was too old. But Scripture tells us he lived another 70 years after settling in Harran. Age is never an excuse with God. Just look at Smith Wigglesworth, a plumber who became a powerful healing evangelist in his retirement years.

Obedience is an accelerator. When you give God your complete “yes,” He can make up for lost time and put you right back on track as if you’d never messed up.

The Root of Settling: Idol Worship

Joshua 24:2 reveals the real reason Terah settled: “Long ago your ancestors, including Terah the father of Abraham and Nahor, lived beyond the Euphrates River and worshiped other gods.”

Terah’s settling was evidence of idol worship. He began worshiping other gods, and that spiritual compromise was passed down as an inheritance. This explains so much about our own struggles.

Faith: The Key to Fulfilling God’s Call

Hebrews 11:8 tells us, “By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.”

Faith is the key. When you feel anxiety, fear, or panic, what you reach for reveals what you worship. Many of us are like Terah, reaching for different “gods” for comfort in various situations. But true faith means reaching for the one true God in every circumstance.

Worship as Spiritual Warfare

Let me share a personal story about the power of faith and worship. As a teenager, my family faced eviction. Instead of panicking, I turned on worship music and began praising God. My mother joined me, and miraculously, while we were still worshiping, someone knocked on our door with a check for the exact amount we needed for rent.

Stop judging my worship if you don’t know my warfare. Worship has gotten me out of situations where no human hand could help. I refuse to worship other gods – I worship the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Switching from Plans to Commands

The American church often makes plans, but the true church obeys commands. It’s time to switch from our own plans to God’s commands. We don’t need a plan – we have a Savior who has the plan. He’s driving, and our job is to obey.

My journey into full-time ministry wasn’t about asking God to put me there. It was about being faithful with the harvest field right outside my front door. When I was faithful with that, He sent me to an even more challenging field in New York City.

The Power of “Nevertheless”

Jesus, facing the cross, prayed, “Let this cup pass from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but Yours be done.” That word “nevertheless” is the key to transition. It’s not that you don’t feel fear or reluctance – it’s what you do in the midst of those feelings that matters.

We need a “nevertheless” mindset. “I don’t want to evangelize… nevertheless.” “I don’t want to be generous with my finances… nevertheless.” It’s in these moments of choosing God’s will over our own that we step into our true destiny.

Breaking Family Patterns: Sometimes the Old Must Die

Acts 7:2-4 tells us that God appeared to Abraham while he was still in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Harran. God told him to leave his country and his people. But it wasn’t until after his father’s death that Abraham finally left Harran for Canaan.

Sometimes, the previous generations – or their ways of thinking – have to die for us to finish what God started in our bloodline. This isn’t about disrespecting our elders, but about breaking free from limiting patterns and beliefs that hold us back from God’s best.

Dream Bigger: A Personal Story of Faith

Let me close with a personal story that illustrates the power of dreaming bigger. Years ago, when we were struggling financially, I overheard my single mother in the kitchen, pounding her fist on the table and declaring, “Dream bigger, dream bigger!”

She later explained that as she was doing dishes, God challenged her to envision greater things for our family. “What if God could use our family to touch nations? What if God could use my son to preach?” The Holy Spirit kept prompting her to dream bigger.

Years later, I watched my mother’s face appear on movie screens across America in 2,000 theaters, encouraging single mothers to dream bigger. God had been faithful to that kitchen table declaration.

Your Call to Action: Dream Bigger and Go All the Way

It’s time for you to dream bigger. Good is the enemy of great. You are called to be an Abraham, to walk fully into your destiny. The generations that come after you will forever thank you for your “yes” to God.

I challenge you today: Make the decision to go 100% in the direction God has for you. Don’t stop halfway. Surrender all your thoughts, desires, and plans to Him. Declare with me: “Nevertheless, not my will, but Yours be done. I will dream bigger. I’ll go all the way. No turning back.”

Your obedience today could change the course of generations to come. Will you answer the call?

Breaking Through Demonic Hindrances

By Mike Signorelli | Deliverance, Demons | No Comments

Do you feel slowed down, lethargic, or like you’re taking two steps forward and three steps back? You may be experiencing demonic hindrances in your life. While some Christians attribute everything to the devil, the Bible shows us that demonic forces can very much hinder our walk with God. In this post, we’ll explore what demonic hindrances are from a biblical perspective, how to discern if you’re dealing with them, and powerful keys to break free.

What Are Demonic Hindrances?

The apostle Paul wrote in Ephesians 6:12, “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” We’re in a spiritual battle, plain and simple.

Paul himself experienced being hindered by Satan from reaching the church in Thessalonica, as he stated in 1 Thessalonians 2:18 – “…we wanted to come to you—certainly I, Paul, did, again and again—but Satan blocked our way.” If this great apostle faced demonic resistance, we shouldn’t be surprised when we encounter it too.

Demonic hindrances can manifest in various ways:

Mental Warfare

One way is through increased mental warfare – anxiety, irrational worry, panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, etc. Just when you think you’ve gained victory over anxious thoughts, they can resurface with intensity. This could be a demonic attack on your mind.

Physical Infirmities

In Luke 13, Jesus healed a woman who had been crippled by a “spirit of infirmity” for 18 years. Some physical conditions have spiritual roots that require deliverance, not just medical treatment.

Blockages and Distractions

Hindrances may come as distractions, delays, or blockages trying to keep you from your God-given purpose and destiny.The enemy doesn’t want you advancing in your impact for the Kingdom.

How to Discern Demonic Hindrances

So how can you tell if you’re dealing with a demonic hindrance versus just your own flesh and human limitation? Here are some ways to increase your discernment:

1. Increase Discipline

One key is to increase your discipline, which will increase your discernment. Push yourself to do what your flesh doesn’t want to do. If you’re able to do it through sheer discipline, it may not be a demonic hindrance. However, if you experience intense, supernatural resistance, it could have a spiritual force behind it.

2. Maintain a Disciplined Prayer Life

Those who spend consistent time in prayer and intimacy with God will become more attuned to discerning the Spirit’s voice and spiritual realities. If you find yourself becoming unusually dry or distracted in prayer, it could indicate demonic interference trying to cut you off from the voice of God.

3. Watch for Patterns

Demonic hindrances often arise right before you’re about to go to the next level or advance in your calling and purpose. The enemy doesn’t want you leveling up, so he tries to throw obstacles and distractions in your way. Recognize the patterns and cycles.

Breaking Free from Demonic Hindrances

Once you’ve discerned the reality of demonic hindrances in your life, it’s time to break free! Here are biblical strategies:

1. Repent and Crucify the Flesh

While not everything is the devil, we do open legal grounds for the enemy through unrepentant sin and fleshly desires. Repent wholeheartedly, crucify the flesh daily, and remove any lifestyle habits or toxic connections that could give demonic forces access.

2. Break Soul Ties and Connections

The Bible speaks of being “soul tied” or bound in intimate relationships like marriage (Genesis 2:24). Ungodly soul ties with people through sin give demonic forces permission to oppress. Boldly break these ties in Jesus’ name.

3. Speak the Word of God

Jesus defeated Satan’s temptations by speaking the Word of God. We must do the same, using the sword of the Spirit – the word of God – to directly resist and command demonic forces to be broken off our lives in Jesus’ mighty name.

4. Change Atmospheres

Certain atmospheres and environments can be so saturated with fleshly living and sin that it makes it difficult to break free from oppression. Change locations, cut off toxic relationships, stop consuming unedifying media – change the atmosphere around you to create a space for God’s presence.

5. Stay Connected

We’re not made to fight alone! Stay connected and accountable to other believers who can pray in agreement with you and support you in your journey of freedom. There is power in unified, corporate prayer to tear down strongholds.

Demonic hindrances are very real opposition that all believers face at some level. But we don’t have to stay stuck! Through consistent discipline, discernment, and applying biblical strategies, we can break through every obstacle and experience greater realms of freedom and authority in Christ.

The enemy doesn’t want you operating in your full potential and spiritual inheritance. But Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8) and gave you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions – every force of the enemy (Luke 10:19). Take up the weapons of your warfare, church! It’s time to level up and leave demonic hindrances behind.

How to Know If You’re Under Spiritual Attack (Spiritual or Natural?)

By Mike Signorelli | Deliverance, Tough Questions | No Comments

Spiritual warfare is an inescapable reality for every believer seeking to advance God’s Kingdom. The enemy will employ various tactics to try to hinder, discourage, and entrap us. However, we have been given authority in Christ to overcome every scheme of the devil. Today, we’re diving into the topic of spiritual warfare – how to recognize spiritual attacks and break free from ungodly soul ties. Apostle Ryan LeStrange joins me and we’re going to share profound wisdom from our years of experience in deliverance ministry.

Recognizing Spiritual Attacks

Apostle Ryan LeStrange

The first sign of a spiritual attack, according to Apostle LeStrange, is being drawn back into things God has already delivered you from. “If you were once bound by alcoholism, but now find yourself justifying ‘just two drinks,’ that could indicate an enemy attack trying to re-entrap you,” he explains. Other telltale signs include losing your desire for intimacy with God, feeling overwhelmed by lethargy or oppressive heaviness, and having cloudiness where things that were once crystal clear are now uncertain.

Some spiritual attacks manifest as extreme physical fatigue, even when you’re not physiologically depleted. This draining force can be the enemy’s attempt to hinder you from stepping into your next level of assignment and destiny. The more you’re advancing God’s Kingdom, the more resistance you’ll face.

Apostle LeStrange adds, “Attacks can be confirmation of effectiveness, that we are being effective in our momentum, in our movement for God.” So if you’re facing surprising opposition, it could signify you’re making spiritual strides that threaten the enemy’s territory.

The Danger of Soul Ties

One major doorway for spiritual attack is the forming of ungodly soul ties. Soul ties are spiritual connections, often formed through sexual intimacy or other deep bonds of intimacy where “two become one.” Even non-physical sexual ties, like pornography, can create soul ties that need to be severed.

“Intimacy forms a soul tie,” Apostle LeStrange explains. “Sex is covenant language, covenant activity. If you’ve got one guy that’s had 10 sexual partners and each of them has had 5 sexual partners, you’ve got 50 people involved that potentially there’s all these soul ties with.”

These ties can enable demonic access and influence in someone’s life, like “a lock that is allowing that demon to stay there, or a door that’s allowing it and other demons to pass in and out,” as he describes. Soul ties don’t just form from sex either – they can result from any intimate relationship where we entrust part of our soul and emotions to another person.

Breaking Soul Ties

So how do you break an ungodly soul tie? Apostle LeStrange’s advice: “Pray something like ‘Lord, I break any ungodly soul ties with (name the person), in Jesus’ name. I disconnect from them and apply the blood of Jesus over my soul, mind, will and emotions.'” He stresses it may take persistence – keep renouncing the ties until you’re completely free.

For some people, breaking soul ties is an ongoing process of rewiring thought patterns and neural pathways. Sometimes you even need to go to the extent of rewiring your physical brain, which would be the equivalency of getting six-pack abs. It takes time. It’s not an instantaneous thing.

My own testimony highlights this process. I took myself through a process and I think it kind of makes you more effective. I don’t know who this is for right now, but sometimes you speak with more authority in the realm that you have brought yourself through because you’re basically looking at somebody and taking them on a journey you took yourself on.

The Journey to Freedom

A key encouragement: Don’t be discouraged by the process! Even we face opposition and moments of vulnerability at times. There will still be times the enemy tries to pop up and attack.

What matters is that you persist and stay the course. The greater your effectiveness for God’s Kingdom, the more confirming attacks may come. Some of my most miraculous meetings happened during periods of tremendous weariness and vulnerability. When I’ve had nothing left to give, God has reminded me that it’s Him doing the ministering, not me.

Apostle LeStrange reiterated this perspective: “When we are going through that process and be really yielding to God and saying, ‘Lord, I love you and I give you my yes no matter what I feel, no matter what the warfare is like I give you my yes,’ God can breathe on that and use that in a significant way.”

The path to freedom starts with you, then impacts many through you. Sometimes I have to remind myself of that. Jesus says in John 15, “You have not chosen me. I chose you that you would bear fruit that remains.”

Persevering Through the Process

So how do you persevere through the process of overcoming spiritual attacks and breaking soul ties? Here are some key principles:

1) Renew your mind consistently with the Word of God. Apostle LeStrange emphasizes, “Meditate on scriptures, speak them, ponder them, pray over them until they get down in your heart and you begin to think differently.”

2) Align yourself with counselors and ministers who can provide supportive prayer and spiritual covering. Sometimes you may need somebody else to pray for you because your own faith level is buried under heaviness.

3) Persistently break soul ties and cast out demons in Jesus’ name. Don’t be discouraged if freedoms comes gradually. The devil is really persistent. Trauma is really persistent. But we need to get to the place saying, “I’m in God’s process and my growth comes in stages, my freedom is coming in stages,” and realize God is walking with me through the process.”

4) Invite the Holy Spirit’s help. I love to pray in the Spirit because it releases the help of the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit will begin to speak to me and show me how to occupy my freedom.

5) Focus on serving and loving others, not just introspection. I’m trying to OutServe my spouse. We tell hardcore warfare mamas, take all that energy and invest it into their hubby. Care about what they care about.

The victories in your life will often manifest in the midst of spiritual warfare. God hears your ‘yes’ and God’s going to breathe on you. So keep pressing through the process – greater fruitfulness and miracles await!

The Power to Cast Out Demons: Walking in Your Divine Purpose

By Mike Signorelli | Deliverance, Demons, Tough Questions | No Comments

For part 1 of this blog, click here.

As believers, we all have access to the same Holy Spirit power that Jesus operated in to set the captives free. It’s time we walk in our divine purpose as believers and commissioned Breakers [for more information on The Breakers course, click here]

Confronting Sin through True Repentance

The first step in the deliverance process is confronting sin. Merely confessing sins is not enough. We need true repentance that produces lasting heart transformation. Repentance goes beyond feeling guilty – it’s actively changing your mind and purpose when you gain new knowledge of God’s ways.

This involves renouncing selfish behaviors and anything that partners with demons. We can’t just want freedom from demons – we must hate the sin that gave them access in the first place. Deliverance without repentance leaves the door wide open for demons to return. When we repent, it legally cancels their access.

Breaking Generational Curses

The next phase in deliverance is identifying and breaking any generational curses that have taken root in our bloodline. Demons gain access through 10 primary sources:

Willful, unrepentant sin
Occult practices
Inherited family iniquity
Unforgiveness
Unhealed wounds and trauma
False religions
Ungodly soul ties
Curses spoken over our lives
Addictions
Fears and phobias

As we thoroughly examine our past and family history, the Holy Spirit will bring revelation of what needs to be broken. We must verbally cancel any contracts and renounce activities that allowed demons to gain legal rights. The sins of our ancestors can’t be ignored; they open doors that require active shutting.

Casting Out the Demons

After doing the groundwork of repentance and breaking curses, casting out demons itself becomes much easier. Their legal rights have been revoked! We can boldly command them to leave in Jesus’ name, sending them to the abyss.

Deliverance is not a special gift reserved for elite believers – it’s the birthright of every Spirit-filled Christian. We all have access to the resurrection power that raised Jesus from the dead. There’s no need for more training or to wait for ordination. We develop authority through hands-on practice as we step out in boldness.

Activate Your Divine Purpose

God desires to use every one of His children in the deliverance ministry. There are countless people afflicted and oppressed who need freedom – including unsaved loved ones, coworkers, friends, and strangers in public places. Don’t wait for them to come to you; take the deliverance power of Christ out into your everyday world. Hospitals, prisons, schools, streets, businesses – the commission is unlimited.

We have the same Holy Spirit who enabled Jesus to cast out demons with a word. As we repent of sin, break curses, and cast out evil spirits, we fulfill our divine purpose as Breakers and change agents in this hurting world. No matter your background, experience, or education, if you’re a born-again follower of Christ, you have everything needed to confront the forces of darkness. It’s time to walk in boldness, step into your authority, and do the greater works promised in Scripture!

Your key takeaways are the absolute necessity of repentance preceding deliverance, the diverse ways generational curses operate, and our authority as believers to cast out demons through the Spirit’s power. May we apply these insights, stepping into our true identity and purpose as breakers! The world is waiting for the manifested sons and daughters of God to arise.

Why Do Demons Come Back After Deliverance?

By Mike Signorelli | Deliverance, Demons, Tough Questions | No Comments

https://www.youtube.com/live/8tOlghQ1cQw?si=X9SXYeGKnKPRnv25

Have you ever experienced deliverance from demonic oppression, only to find yourself struggling with the same issues again later on? You’re not alone. Many believers have gone through deliverance and casting out of demons, yet found themselves in bondage again soon after.

I want to provide crucial insight into why demons can return after deliverance. Understanding the reasons why will equip you to stand strong when the enemy tries to regain ground in your life.

Emotional Trauma Gives Demons Legal Ground

One of the most common reasons demons return is unresolved emotional trauma. New York City is known for the critters that lurk in the walls and underground – rats. My city has a major rat problem, partly because of the garbage accumulation on streets without alleys. No matter how many rats you remove, if the trash remains, it creates a breeding ground that attracts more rats.

In the same way, casting out demons deals with the “rats,” but if you don’t take out the “trash” of emotional wounds and trauma, it gives demons legal rights to keep entering your life. Deliverance is meant to work hand in hand with inner healing, counseling, repentance, and renewing the mind. Removing demons through deliverance doesn’t eliminate the need to work through root issues that give them access.

So if you’ve gone through deliverance, take time for honest self-reflection. Is there any unforgiveness, bitterness, rage, rejection, or other emotional trauma you haven’t resolved? These can provide footholds for demons to return. Bring these areas to Jesus, ask Him to reveal roots that need healing, and seek biblical counseling. Removing debris clears out breeding grounds so demons have no place to inhabit.

You Have a God-Given Purpose and Destiny

Another eye-opening reason for demons returning is simply that you have a major purpose and destiny from God. The enemy wants to do anything possible to prevent you from fulfilling your calling.

Therefore, the degree of spiritual warfare and demonic attack you face is an indicator of how powerfully God wants to use you! The devil would not waste time harassing people who pose no threat to his kingdom. But when he sees you have an anointing that could change lives, he pulls out all the stops to discourage and immobilize you.

Start to see the battles you face as confirmation of who you are and how God wants to use you for His glory. Persevere in the power of the Holy Spirit knowing your struggles mean you are called and equipped to do damage to the enemy’s kingdom through fulfilling your God-given assignment. Lean into Jesus and let Him fight for you as you walk out your purpose. The enemy wouldn’t be bothering you if you weren’t a serious threat!

Some Demons Pretend to Leave

When doing deliverance ministry, we have to remember that demons are deceitful. Sometimes a demon will pretend to leave during deliverance, and the person manifests relief. But upon closer discernment, it becomes clear the demons actually remained.

As Jesus said, Satan is the father of lies! Demons can put on quite a show and fool people into thinking they left, when in reality they are lying low, waiting for the next opportunity.

This is why we must rely fully on the Holy Spirit, not just formulas and rituals. Trusting discernment from the Holy Spirit rather than assuming the demons are gone is key. Pay attention to any check in your spirit indicating more work may be needed. Don’t be deceived by demonic tricks – only the Holy Spirit truly knows if they have left.

You Must Resist Demons After Deliverance

Getting free of demons through deliverance is just the starting point. Maintaining freedom requires learning to stand your ground against them. We must resist the enemy so he will flee (James 4:7). We can’t be passive; we must fight back!

Practical ways to resist include reading Scripture out loud, praying in the Spirit, declaring God’s truths aloud, and renouncing any footholds the enemy tries to use against you. Put on worship music to fill the atmosphere with praise. Don’t give demons any place in your thought life, conversations, or decisions.

The battles won’t end after deliverance; you must keep resisting actively. But the more you fight back, the more victory you will walk in! Submit to God wholeheartedly and keep your sword (the Word of God) sharp through studying Scripture. Embrace the fights knowing you are called and empowered to win them!

Surround Yourself with Others Who Will Stand with You

Finally, we can’t fight alone. We need trusted brothers and sisters in Christ to stand in agreement with us. There is exponential power when even just two or three join together in Jesus’ name.

David defeated Goliath alone, but later he needed help from his mighty friend Abishai to defeat Goliath’s brothers. Humility requires recognizing you need support. Seek out wise, seasoned believers who can fight alongside you in prayer and encouragement.

And know that as you change, God often brings new spheres of relationships with those who can run at your pace. Don’t isolate; God’s army advances together. The enemy wants to make you feel alone, but you have comrades in arms. Stand firm together and victory is assured!

Conclusion

The next time you face demonic oppression after deliverance, remember these insights. Deal with emotional wounds that give demons legal rights. See the attack as a compliment confirming your destiny. Remember demons lie and pretend to leave. Commit to actively resisting through God’s Word and Spirit. And surround yourself with trusted believers who will fight with you. Jesus is with you, and His power ensures you will walk in ultimate victory!
