Title: Step 1


1
  • Step 1 The Counterfeit
    vs the Real

2
  • Review of Last Week

3
  • 3RD HEAVEN
  • This is Heaven, the place where God Dwells (John
    143-4 Acts 757 2 Corinthians 122) .

4
  • 2ND HEAVEN
  • This is where much Spiritual Warfare takes place
    between the forces of God (good - Angels) and the
    forces of Satan (evil - Demons). This is where
    there seems to be military type structure and
    where spiritual conflicts are fought (Daniel 10,
    Ephesians 6).

5
  • 1ST HEAVEN - THE TERRESTRIAL OR EARTHLY! This
    is the sphere where we have delegated authority
    over any spiritual powers or beings
    (Demonisation, strongholds, oppression,
    condemnation etc Matthew 2818, Mathew 1618).

6
Step 1 The Counterfeit vs the Real
  • Dear Heavenly Father, I ask You now to bring to
    my mind anything and everything that I have done
    knowingly or unknowingly that involves occult,
    cult, or non-Christian teachings or practices. I
    want to experience Your freedom by renouncing
    these things right now. In Jesus name I pray,
    Amen.

7
  • Father, I confess that I have
    participated in _________(mention
    all of them one by one now). I know they were
    evil and offensive in Your sight. Thank You for
    Your forgiveness. I renounce any and all
    involvement with_________ (mention all of them
    one by one again) and I cancel out any and all
    ground that the enemy gained in my life through
    this activity. In Jesus name, Amen.

8
Renouncing Idols Wrong Priorities
  • Who or what is most important to us becomes that
    which we worship.
  • Our thoughts, love, devotion trust, adoration,
    and obedience are directed to this object above
    all others. This object of worship is truly our
    God or god(s).

9
Renouncing Idols Wrong Priorities
  • We were created to worship the true and living
    God.
  • We are told by Christ in John 423 that the
    Father seeks those who will worship Him in spirit
    and in truth.

10
Renouncing Idols Wrong Priorities
  • As children of God
  • 1 John 520 (NIV) We know also that the Son of
    God has come and has given us understanding, so
    that we may know him who is true. And we are in
    him who is trueeven in his Son Jesus Christ. He
    is the true God and eternal life.

11
Renouncing Idols Wrong Priorities
  • The apostle John follows with a warning
  • 1 John 521 Little children, guard yourselves
    from idols

12
  • An idol is a false god, any object of
    worship other than the true God. Though we may
    not bow down to statues, it is easy for
    people and things of this world to subtly become
    more important to us than the Lord. The following
    prayer expresses the commitment of a heart that
    chooses to worship the Lord your God, and serve
    Him only (Matthew 410) as Jesus reminded Satan.

13
  • Dear Father, I know how easy
    it is to allow other things and other
    people to become more important to
    me than You. I also know that
    this is terribly offensive to Your
    holy eyes as You have commanded
    that I shall have no other gods before You.
    I confess to You that I have not loved
    You with all my heart and soul and mind.
    As a result, I have sinned against You,
    violating the first and greatest commandment. I
    repent of and turn away from this idolatry and
    now choose to return to You, Lord Jesus, as my
    first love. Please reveal to my mind now any and
    all idols in my life. I want to renounce each of
    them and, in so doing, cancel out any and all
    ground Satan may have gained in my life through
    my idolatry. In the name of Jesus Christ, Your
    Son I pray, Amen.
  • (See Exodus 203 Matthew 2237 Revelation
    24,5.)
