Luke 4:16-21
Matt16:19-20
He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. And he stood up to read. 17 The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written:
“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed,
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”
Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him, and he began by saying to them, “Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”
I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
We looked at
Reason for Spiritual Attacks
Occult involvement (Ouija boards, fortunetelling, horoscopes, palm reading, etc.)
Unforgiving spirit- holding on to past grievances.
Disobedience to the Lord
Dependence on outside sources (drugs, alcohol, etc)
Incorrect relationships ( family disorders, wrong contacts, sexual involvement )
What does the enemy’s attack look like ?
What are the effects ?
Areas of –
spiritual attacks
signs of enemy involvement
Low self-image (unworthy, a failure, no good – a constant undermining of the self-identity.)
Confusion in thinking-Denial of God (sometimes great difficulty in remembering things)
Inability to believe (even when the person wants to)
Incorrect evaluations- perceiving anger, hostility, in others when it doesn’t really exist – seeing only judgment in the scriptures
Nightmares causing fear (often having demonic images)
Controlling thoughts (suicidal, homicidal, self-abuse)
Fear – panic attacks – phobias
Anger – easily set off emotionally rage
Constant guilt – self-condemnation,
Depression and despondency (frequently continual despair)
Drug, alcohol addictions
Eating obsessions – bulimiaddictions, anorexia nervosa
Compulsive sexual thoughts ( pornography, adultery, fornication)
Physical attacks — from headaches to cancer
