Week 10: Freedom in Christ

Eight Principles from Freedom in Christ
1) Deliverance: When the power of the Holy Spirit overcomes the power of the evil one in a persons life and sets them free, it's a sign the Kingdom of God has come
2) Jesus came to set us free, he broke people out of bondage though the power of the Holy Spirit and we are to do the same
3) We don't see a lot of delieverance ministry in the west because the the Gospel is often intellectualized
4) People can be fearful of deliverance, thinking if they have bondages then they aren't saved at all, or because of tramatic past experiences where they have felt circumstances were out of control and don't want to create another circustance like that
5) Generational sin can create bondages in individuals, there will be strong influence or tendancy to be tempted in specific ways
6) You have to want to be set free, no can make that choice for you
7) Bondages can be broken at time of salvation
8) Deliverance puts God's power on display and brings him great glory
