AKGW Kanesatake Pentecostal Church June 6th, 2021
So while I am both an Apostle and Teacher I am continually pursuing and growing in the knowledge of the Word and Spiritual Tools and Principals in the Bible for all of us as Children of God to use and grow in! I am recently took a 10 week training intensive in Prayer Ministry with Elijah House and I am learnt a great deal in order to Help Heal and Free anyone and everyone of every past hurt so that you can Live out the Plan and Identity that God Has Always Had for you!
In the Week 6 training, we had one portion of our lesson that dealt with SHAME…I learned so much but as I kept asking the Holy Spirit to teach me more, He revealed the following revelations to me.
Let’s look at a Key Scripture Verse;
‘A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.’ Ecclesiastes 4:12 https://my.bible.com/bible/116/ECC.4.12
There are multitudes of examples of 3s all throughout scripture and life in general.
These Groups of 3s can either Draw Us Closer to God, or alienate us from Him and His Loving Nature!
It is Important to Know Who God IS and what He Is Not! We need to Know Him Intimately so that We can Recognize His Fingerprint, This IS called Testing the Spirits!
There are Many Many Lying Spirits speaking today, both in the World…but sadly also in the Church, So let’s address a couple so that we can set the captives free!
So at the moment we all understand that there is a continual barrage of fear coming at us from all sides. Well guess what? Fear uses Shame to do it’s dirty work…think carefully and you will hear it in all the lies being spoken.
Well, Fear Uses Shame to Gain one thing…Control!! That kinda sums up our the current Hoax that is being propagated as a Health Crisis…which it is not! So the bigger issue is that many churches are adding their voice to the mix saying that God sent this in order to bring us to repentance…THAT is a LIE!!
I can expose their lie easily with one verse; ‘Don’t you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you? Can’t you see that his kindness is intended to turn you from your sin?’ Romans 2:4 https://my.bible.com/bible/116/ROM.2.4
You see it is God’s Kindness that draws us to repentance…not his epidemic…sickness does NOT come from God!! He is Jehovah Jireh, The GOD that Heals YOU! You Need to Know Who God is So you can spot the lies about Him instantly!
As well, let’s look at the 3 stranded cord of Fear, Shame and Control…ALL of These are Tools of the devil, all for the purpose of keeping you bound in chains of In-Action, well I want to help you to break free today!!
Let’s Look at GOD’s 3 Stranded Cord and meditate on that!
‘And Jesus Christ was revealed as God’s Son by his baptism in water and by shedding his blood on the cross —not by water only, but by water and blood. And the Spirit, who is truth, confirms it with his testimony. the Spirit, the water, and the blood—and all three agree. So we have these three witnesses —’
1 John 5:6-8
https://my.bible.com/bible/116/1JN.5.6-8
‘Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. ‘
John 14:6
https://my.bible.com/bible/116/JHN.14.6
‘For the kingdom of God is not a matter of rules about food and drink, but is in the realm of the Holy Spirit, filled with righteousness, peace, and joy. Serving the Anointed One by walking in these kingdom realities pleases God and earns the respect of others.’
Romans 14:17-18
https://my.bible.com/bible/1849/ROM.14.17-18
‘Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.’ 1 Corinthians 13:13 https://my.bible.com/bible/116/1CO.13.13
Always Remember that God is LOVE, it is His Very Nature, He cannot do anything without Love being involved! That does not mean he won’t discipline us, because we know that it clearly says in Hebrews 12:6, God disciplines those He Loves!
‘For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.’ 2 Timothy 1:7 https://my.bible.com/bible/116/2TI.1.7
So right there, a spirit of fear cannot come from God! God graciously and abundantly fills us with Power, Love and Self-Discipline or Sound Mind as some translations say!
A Quote from John Bevere: Fear is at the root of stress. If you’re fearful or stressed out, you haven’t put it under the cross. 1 John 4v18 ESV reads, “There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.”
So you see when we know who God Truly is and We Know what His Word Actually Says…we can immediately spot the liars without any effort!
So I encourage you to stop reacting in fear, stop being manipulated by shame, breaks the chains of control and Rise UP and Expose the Lies! The Truth Sets us Free! Jesus IS the TRUTH! It is Him that Sets us Free!!
Go and Walk Boldly In Love Today and silence that spirit of fear…it is easier than you realize!
Gordian Knot
Have you ever heard of the History of the Gordian Knot? Well probably not but you will today! More importantly there is tremendous Biblical significance to this same story that even if you knew the history of the Gordian Knot, you probably didn’t know the Biblical Link!
I first learned this from Pastor Jerry Plunkett @ Catch the Fire in Montreal, Quebec, Canada during a weekend conference on April 27th, 2019
So what is a Gordian Knot?
Well, Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines it as follows;
Definition of Gordian knot
1: an intricate problem especially: a problem insoluble in its own terms —often used in the phrase cut the Gordian knot
2: a knot tied by Gordius, king of Phrygia, held to be capable of being untied only by the future ruler of Asia, and cut by Alexander the Great with his sword
So what is the story behind this knot?
Well from History.com we have the following account, there are two slightly different versions of his solution but this is the more commonly accepted one;
The term “Gordian knot,” commonly used to describe a complex or unsolvable problem, can be traced back to a legendary chapter in the life of Alexander the Great.
As the story goes, in 333 B.C. the Macedonian conqueror marched his army into the Phrygian capital of Gordium in modern day Turkey. Upon arriving in the city, he encountered an ancient wagon, its yoke tied with what one Roman historian later described as “several knots all so tightly entangled that it was impossible to see how they were fastened.”
Phrygian tradition held that the wagon had once belonged to Gordius, the father of the celebrated King Midas. An oracle had declared that any man who could unravel its elaborate knots was destined to become ruler of all of Asia.
According to the ancient chronicler Arrian, the impetuous Alexander was instantly “seized with an ardent desire” to untie the Gordian knot. After wrestling with it for a time and finding no success, he stepped back from the mass of gnarled ropes and proclaimed, “It makes no difference how they are loosed.” He then drew his sword and sliced the knot in half with a single stroke.
So while this is a cool story that you may knot have known…get it knot, lol, there is a Key to this In Scripture!
You See It is God’s Perfect Will that we should be Free. But not simply free in only one area of our lives but FREE in ALL Areas of Our Lives! Free In our Mind and Bodies, Free Physically, Emotionally and Spiritually! That is what Scripture Boldly Declares!
So let’s dig in to the Biblical side of this story!
First And Foremost We Must Remember that Jesus is the Truth, and Knowing Him, The TRUTH, is what will set you free!
‘Jesus said to the people who believed in him, “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”’ John 8:31-32 https://my.bible.com/bible/116/JHN.8.31-32
Secondly, if we allow ourselves to be enslaved by sin, by the things of this world, it is very much like a Gordian Knot, an Unresolvable problem that keeps us bound!
‘Jesus said to the people who believed in him, “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave of sin. A slave is not a permanent member of the family, but a son is part of the family forever. So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free. ‘ John 8:31-32,34-36 https://my.bible.com/bible/116/JHN.8.31-32,34-36
Sadly, all too often we allow the things of this world to speak louder in our lives than the TRUTH that Jesus both Spoke and IS! He is patiently standing by with the solution to all your problems. He IS the Solution to all of your mental, emotional and physical pain…but you need to Give it Completely to Him by Surrendering yourself to His Lordship and Repenting of your Sins, All of Them!
The Original Historical account of Alexander the Great and the Gordian Knot took place in what would be considered modern Turkey…well guess what, in the Bible Modern Turkey was then Galatia!!! So Paul made direct reference to the event of the Gordian Knot while writing to the Galatians! Let’s look at the scripture;
‘So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law. Listen! I, Paul, tell you this: If you are counting on circumcision to make you right with God, then Christ will be of no benefit to you. I’ll say it again. If you are trying to find favor with God by being circumcised, you must obey every regulation in the whole law of Moses. For if you are trying to make yourselves right with God by keeping the law, you have been cut off from Christ! You have fallen away from God’s grace. But we who live by the Spirit eagerly wait to receive by faith the righteousness God has promised to us. For when we place our faith in Christ Jesus, there is no benefit in being circumcised or being uncircumcised. What is important is faith expressing itself in love. You were running the race so well. Who has held you back from following the truth? It certainly isn’t God, for he is the one who called you to freedom. ‘ Galatians 5:1-8 https://my.bible.com/bible/116/GAL.5.1-8
You see Paul was referencing the history of the area in order to preach the gospel clearly to the people! They understood ropes and bondage and how one swift cut of the sword could instantly remove the knot, the bondage and change the course of their lives.
Remember scripture declares that;
‘For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. ‘ Hebrews 4:12 https://my.bible.com/bible/116/HEB.4.12
And as well;
‘In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. He existed in the beginning with God. The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone. God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it.’ John 1:1-5 https://my.bible.com/bible/116/JHN.1.1-5
JESUS is the Living Word, He is Alive and Active. HE Is the SWORD OF THE SPIRIT that divides between Soul and Spirit and He and He alone can set you free from every form of Bondage in your life! Remember right now if you are living in fear, There is Freedom and Hope and most Importantly PEACE in JESUS!
I would encourage you to Repent of trying to do things yourself and Submit yourself to God and Choose to Believe in HIM…IT WILL BE THE SINGLE BEST DECISION YOU WILL EVER MAKE!
Do You Desire to Repent and Make Jesus Your Lord? If you do, Please Pray the Following!
Father, I come to You in the Name of Jesus. I recognize that You LOVE me and sent Your Son to remove the sin which separates me from You. Father, I respond to Your love and REPENT of ALL past SIN. Please forgive me and cleanse me by the BLOOD of JESUS CHRIST. By faith, Father, I now receive Your forgiveness and cleansing in Jesus Name, and I thank You that Your Word says that I am now brought near by the Blood of Jesus Christ through which I enter BLOOD COVENANT RELATIONSHIP with You today.
LORD JESUS CHRIST I invite You to come into my life, and I SUBMIT TOTALLY to You. I ask You to be LORD of my SPIRIT, SOUL (mind, thoughts, will, intellect, and emotions), and my BODY.
Now by faith I confess that sin shall no more have dominion over me because your Spirit lives in me. I also confess that I am SAVED; and under covenant through Jesus Christ to receive the promises that are for me (salvation, deliverance, healing, and God’s promises).
Yes and Amen! I renounce the lordship of satan or any authority besides Christ over every area of my spirit, soul (mind, thoughts, will, intellect, and emotions), and my body. I renounce every hold or influence of the devil in ALL areas of my life including everything inherited through the generations because the Word tells me I have a NEW FATHER and I only inherit from Him now. (At this point, deal with any specific things such as witchcraft or occult etc. which must be specifically renounced).
Lord Jesus, You are the BAPTISER in the HOLY SPIRIT, and I ask You to baptize me with the Holy Spirit and FIRE. I believe by faith that I have the same access to the power of the Holy Spirit and rights to every spiritual gift (1 Corinthians 12:4-11) that You gave to the early Church. So I pray that You will help me live and walk daily in all the fullness of the Spirit-filled life You intended for me. I open my heart for you to fill it now with Your Holy Spirit. Thank You, Jesus. Amen.
