10 Ways Christians Can Store Up Treasures in Heaven

Store up treasures in heaven means Christians should expense their physical and spiritual wealth on earth to the poor and needy and the more you do that the LORD reserves great rewards for you in heaven. So, I tell you with authority that all Christians that gain heaven won’t possess same treasures!

Today’s message will help you to know how to store up treasures in heaven and the benefits involved in the obedience of Jesus’ commandments.

4 Bible Quotes about ‘Store Up Treasures in Heaven’

The quotes below are direct speech from Jesus Christ:

1. Matthew chapter 6 verse 19 to 21

“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; “but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.”

“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

2. Matthew chapter 19 verses 21

“Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”

3. Luke chapter 12 verse 32 and 33

“Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.”

“Sell what you have and give alms; provide yourselves money bags which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches nor moth destroys.”

4. Luke chapter 18 verses 22

“So, when Jesus heard these things, He said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”

What are the Treasures in Heaven?

Heaven is the abode of the Almighty God which is also the place the LORD prepared to receive the genuine Christians who leave this corrupt earth. I am privileged to have a glance of the beautiful heaven, but I cannot describe all the wonderful treasures in heaven.

1. Breath of Peace and Joy

Sincerely speaking, the peace in heaven does not exist in the midst of the most peaceful person on earth. The air you will breathe in heaven is peace and joy. Comparatively, the air we breathe on earth is like passing big rocks through our nostrils!

The LORD told me to read this bible verses to you:

“For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation. And as many as walk according to this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.” (Galatians 6: 15-16)

“The treasure of peace awaits you if you follow the rule of holiness!”

2. Beautiful Mansions

Trust me, the heavenly abode for the children of God is not only an open peaceful colorful field. The Beautiful mansions I saw should be a strong reason for us to store up treasures in heaven. The size of your mansion will be determined by the size of your earthly investment in the lives of the poor and needy.

Jesus Christ says: “In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.” (John 14:2-3)

3. Beautiful Golden Crowns

Jesus Christ encourages you to share your earthly wealth with the poor people on earth so that you can have exceptional rewards in heaven. Golden crowns in heaven are not for the selfish Christians.

“…and when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.” (1Peter 5:4)

I look forward to enjoying the massive treasures in heaven.

The Danger of Laying Up Treasures on Earth

Store up of treasures on earth means:

1. Paying tithes only to the church pastor and ignoring the poor church members.

2. Spending huge amounts of money to build massive record-breaking church buildings while all the wretched church members are struggling to survive.

3. Fleet of cars in your custody without releasing some to the poor for transport business. Throwing millions of dollars around for maintenance of your jet.

4. Your real estate is strictly for making money and there is no plan to harbor some homeless people around you.

5. You want to be recognized as the richest man in the society and not to be ignored on the Bloomberg billionaire’s index. Did you stack so much gold in your vault and huge amounts of cryptocurrencies?

Danger for laying up treasures on earth is not limited to the following:

1. It takes your heart away from the LORD (just like the case of king Solomon).

2. Your heart can never think about going to heaven because all your treasures are on earth. You will easily believe the false teaching that heaven does not exist.

3. Hackers or Government policies can make you run into bankruptcy.

4. You will find it easy to sell your soul to the devil (just the way Jesus Christ was tempted though He never falls).

5. Fire hazard or world war can consume your treasures on earth without remedy.

Real wealth is obtained by investing in “treasures in heaven.”

10 Steps Christians Can Store Up Treasures in Heaven

1. Seek First the Kingdom of God

Jesus said, “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you” (Matthew 6:33). By prioritizing your relationship with God and seeking His will above all else, you store up treasure in heaven.

When you put God first, you align yourself with His purposes and experience the blessings that come from living in obedience to Him.

2. Obey God’s Commandments

Obeying God’s commandments is an essential part of storing up treasure in heaven. Jesus said, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments” (John 14:15). When you live in obedience to God’s Word, you demonstrate your love for Him and store up eternal rewards.

3. Give Generously to the Poor

One of the most powerful ways to store up treasures in heaven is by giving generously to the poor. Proverbs 19:17 says, “Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed.”

When you give to the poor, you are showing compassion and love, and God promises to reward you abundantly.

4. Serve Others with a Humble Heart

Jesus taught us that true greatness comes from serving others. When you serve others with a humble heart, you store up treasures in heaven.

In Matthew 23:11-12, Jesus says, “The greatest among you shall be your servant. Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”

5. Share the Gospel

Sharing the gospel is a powerful way to store up treasures in heaven. When you share the Good News of Jesus Christ with others, you are participating in God’s redemptive work and bringing people into His kingdom.

Jesus Christ commands us to go and make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19) and not to sit for many hours in the mega church building, and as we obey His command, we store up eternal rewards.

6. Forgive Others

Forgiveness is a crucial aspect of the Christian faith. When you forgive others, you reflect the forgiveness that God has shown you.

Jesus teaches us in Matthew 6:14-15, “For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”

By extending forgiveness, we store up treasures in heaven.

7. Live a Life of Holiness

Living a life of holiness is essential for storing up treasure in heaven. Leviticus 11:45 says, “For I am the LORD who brings you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. You shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.”

When you live according to God’s principles and maintain your holy lifestyle, you honor Him and store up eternal rewards.

8. Use Your Talents for God’s Glory

God has given you unique talents and abilities. When you use these talents for His glory, you store up treasure in heaven.

9. Cultivate a Heart of Gratitude

Gratitude is a powerful attitude that can help you store up treasures in heaven. When you cultivate a heart of gratitude and thankfulness, you acknowledge God’s goodness and faithfulness in your lives. The Devil will find it difficult to penetrate your heart.

10. Walk in Love

Walking in love is a foundational principle for storing up treasure in heaven. Jesus commands us to love one another as He has loved us (John 13:34). When you love others sacrificially and unconditionally, you demonstrate the love of Christ and store up eternal rewards.

Benefits of Laying up Treasures in Heaven

No one can know all the gains until we get to heaven, so it is not limited to the following:

1. Endless Enjoyment into Eternity

2. No sickness! No weeping! No sorrow!

3. Eternal Peace

4. You won’t partake in the unimaginable suffering of hell fire.

5. Golden Crowns for you and not golden handcuffs.

6. Beautiful Mansions

7. Elegant Robes for you and not suffering soul in hell.

8. You will see the face of the LORD because He will be the Light.

9. You will eat from the Tree of life.

10. The Name of the LORD will be on your forehead.

Read the book of Revelation chapter 21 and 22 for more information about the gains of storing your treasures in heaven.

As Christians, I encourage you to store up treasures in heaven by seeking God’s kingdom, obeying His commandments, giving to the poor, serving others, sharing the gospel, forgiving, living with holiness, using your talents for God’s glory, cultivating gratitude, and walking in love.

The Divine Power will help you as you obey the commandments of the LORD in Jesus’ name.

Overcome Poverty! 7 Ways for Christians to Never Be Poor

Posted by Oct 25, 2023 Holy Word, Word of Faith 4 Comments
Overcome Poverty! 7 Ways for Christians to Never Be Poor

To be poor may not be a sin but to overcome poverty must be the task of all Christians because poverty means lack of resources to survive a good life. Are you going through a tough time despite your faith in the LORD? I was once wretched but now I have overcome poverty through the teachings of the Holy Spirit. Today’s message will expose you to the secrets of poverty and how to pull it out.

5 Main Causes of Poverty

1. Selfish Leaders

When the government officials are selfish leaders which leads to oppression of the people through multiple taxes etc. Then the level of poverty will rise in the land where there is corruption and embezzlement of public funds. (James 5:1-4)

2. Laziness

It was my generation that youths refused to be hardworking and wanted to be rich very fast, so there are many ‘pastors’ whom God did not anoint in many churches springing up because members must pay tithes and offerings to feed the ‘lazy pastors’ who refused to work.

If you love too much sleep and don’t want to work, then poverty won’t leave.

“…to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you, that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and that you may lack nothing.” (1 Thessalonians 4:11-12)

3. Environmental Disaster

Earthquakes, pandemics, harsh weather crises destroying cities and war can go a long way to distorting business settings making a lot of people in the rich or comfortable zone slide towards poverty line.

4. Persecution of Christians

This cause of poverty is always temporary, and Jesus Christ told us not to be weary. It’s a trial that won’t last forever and you will come out strong when you maintain your faithfulness to the LORD.

“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)

5. Spiritual Attack

Devil’s devices that can cause poverty include; gambling, partying, clubbing, sexual immoralities, money rituals, love for money, covetousness, cheats and stealing.

7 Ways to Overcome Poverty as a Christian

1. Start Intense Bible Studies

The first step for you to overcome poverty is to study the Bible yourself through the help of the Holy Spirit. Read with a humble open mind to understand God’s teaching about poverty and wealth.

2. Readiness for Spiritual Discipline

Having read the Bible, the next step is obedience to all the instructions of the LORD. Don’t be carried away by the ‘sweetness’ in worldliness. God’s way to overcome poverty is unpopular but it is the best for you.

3. Stay Away from Sin

Sin in your life gives the Devil the opportunity to sow seeds of poverty! You cannot continue sinning and expect the LORD to bless your investments. Don’t be deceived by those false pastors telling you that God does not care about how you use your body.

“What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?” (Romans 6:1-2)

4. Take Righteous Steps

Don’t look for shortcuts to wealth because dubious steps cannot help you overcome poverty. I tried it previously and my ‘fingers got burnt’ and I narrowly escaped committing suicide. Despite living in a corrupt society, if you obey the business strategies of the LORD just like Isaac then you can also become wealthy.

5. Contentment is the Key

Always make yourself comfortable with the daily provisions of the LORD. Don’t try to compare yourself to your next neighbor. Wealth has no limit so you can’t have all the money in the world.

Don’t rush to overcome poverty so take a step at a time as directed by the LORD. I chose to be peaceful when I realized that the richest man on earth still feels insecure and incomplete sometimes.

6. Always Give to the Poor

You might think you are poor but there are millions of people poorer than you. I completely overcome poverty when I obey the instructions of the LORD about giving to the needy.

We are not in the Old Testament era of one-tenth, that is the reason many pastors are very rich and the church members donating tithes are struggling to survive.

Don’t give tithes but give as much as you can to the needy around you and see how the LORD will reward you greatly.

The Apostles of Jesus Christ understood the tactics of blessings and never asked for tithe donation:

“Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need.” (Acts 2:44-45)

How I wish all pastors will follow this apostolic practice, poverty will never exist in the Christendom. 

7. You Get what You See

You will overcome poverty when you have a positive mindset that you will be successful even during harsh economy. Your faithfulness to the LORD every day is essential because your human brain cannot handle all situations.

Faith in the LORD is a powerful tool that will accompany your hard work and investment which will yield miraculous harvest of abundance for you.

 

When you overcome poverty through God’s method then you will be rich on earth, and it won’t hinder your heavenly wealth as well. Stay away from sinful lifestyle, slothfulness, and false belief. Come to the LORD with a serious heart, work and live a holy life and the LORD will bring a wonderful turnaround of great wealth for you in Jesus’ name. 

6 Powerful Ways to Overcome Dark Powers as a Christian

6 Powerful Ways to Overcome Dark Powers as a Christian

Are you struggling to overcome dark powers as a Christian? If so, you’re not alone. Many believers face spiritual battles that can be challenging to conquer. But fear not, for there are proven ways to overcome these dark forces and find victory in Jesus Christ.

In this article, I will explore powerful strategies that will equip you to take a stand against the forces of darkness.

From strengthening your relationship with God to using the weapons of prayer and scriptures, you will learn practical and effective methods to overcome the enemy’s attempts to derail you from your faith.

Understanding the Concept of Dark Powers

Dark powers refer to the spiritual forces that oppose God and seek to hinder Christian believers in our walk with Jesus Christ.

These evil powers can manifest in various ways, such as temptation, doubt, fear, and even physical manifestations. It is crucial to recognize that dark powers are not to be taken lightly, as they have the potential to cause significant harm and damage to you and your relationship with the LORD.

One key aspect of understanding dark powers is recognizing their source. The Bible teaches us that Satan and his demons are behind these forces of darkness.

Satan, also known as the enemy or the devil, is a powerful spiritual being who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). His goal is to separate you from God and lead you astray.

By understanding this, you can better equip yourself to identify and combat the dark powers that come against you.

To overcome dark powers, it is important to seek discernment and wisdom from God. By studying the Word of God and relying on the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you can gain insight into the strategies of the enemy and learn how to effectively counter them.

The Importance of Spiritual Warfare for Christians

As Christian, it is important to understand the concept of spiritual warfare and its significance in your life. Spiritual warfare refers to the ongoing battle between the forces of good and evil in the spiritual realm.

It is a battle that each believer is called to engage in, as we are not only citizens of this world but also citizens of the Kingdom of God.

Engaging in spiritual warfare requires a mindset shift. You must recognize that you are in a constant battle against the forces of darkness and that your weapons are not physical, but spiritual.

Paul reminds us in Ephesians chapter 6 verse 12 that “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.”

This verse underscores the importance of spiritual warfare and the need for believers to actively engage in it.

By understanding the importance of spiritual warfare, you can equip yourself with the necessary tools to overcome dark powers. This includes as outlined in Ephesians chapter 6 verse 13 to 17, putting on the full armor of God which consist of:

1. Belt of Truth,

2. Breastplate of Righteousness,

3. Shoes of the gospel of Peace,

4. Shield of Faith,

5. Helmet of Salvation, and

6. Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.

Each piece of armor plays a critical role in protecting and empowering you in the fight to overcome dark powers.

The 6 Powerful Signs of Dark Powers in an Individual

While these signs can manifest in different ways for different individuals, there are some common indicators that can help you identify the presence of dark powers in your life.

It is important to note that these signs should not be used as a means of labeling or judging others but rather as a tool for self-reflection and discernment.

1. Persistent feeling of spiritual oppression or heaviness. This may manifest as a constant sense of fear, anxiety, or unease.

2. Recurring nightmares.

3. Unexplained physical ailments.

4. Sudden changes in behavior or personality.

5. Constant bombardment of negative thoughts or temptations.

6. Presence of ungodly influences or strongholds in your life in the form of addictions, unhealthy relationships, or involvement in occult practices.

When you find yourself unable to break free from these influences despite your best efforts, it may be an indication that dark powers are at work.

6 Powerful Combine Forces to Overcome Dark Powers

1. Prayer and Fasting

Prayer and fasting have been powerful weapons to overcome dark powers since ancient times. Prayer is your direct line of communication with God, and through it, you can seek His guidance, protection, and deliverance.

When faced with spiritual warfare, it is essential to prioritize prayer as a regular part of your life. By setting aside dedicated time to commune with God, you invite His presence and power into your circumstances. Don’t ask Pastors to keep praying for you while you live a prayerless lifestyle – it won’t work!

Fasting, on the other hand, is a spiritual discipline that involves abstaining from food or other physical desires for a specific period. It is a way to humble yourself before God, seeking His intervention and breakthrough.

Fasting can help you develop self-discipline and strengthen your dependence on God.

When combined, prayer and fasting create a dynamic spiritual force that enables you to confront and overcome dark powers.

2. Reading the Bible and Meditation

God’s Word is a source of strength and encouragement for believers facing spiritual battles. The Bible is filled with promises, teachings, and stories of individuals who overcame the forces of darkness through their faith in the LORD.

By immersing yourself in His word, you gain insight, wisdom, and a deeper understanding of His character and His plan for your life.

Scripture can be a powerful tool in combating the lies and deceptions of the enemy. When faced with doubts or temptations, you can turn to the Word of God for guidance and affirmation.

You will get armed with truth to overcome dark powers by memorizing and meditating on specific verses that speak to your struggles!

Reading and studying the Bible regularly keeps you grounded in your faith and helps you discern the voice of God amidst the noise of the world. It provides you with a solid foundation and a compass to navigate through life’s challenges.

As you align your thoughts and actions with the truth of God’s word, you become less susceptible to the influences of dark powers.

By immersing yourself in God’s teachings and allowing it to transform your heart, you can overcome dark powers and walk in the light of His love.

3. Surrender Your Total Mind for God’s Control

One way to break free from negative influences and temptations is by evaluating your relationships.

Surrounding yourself with sincere Christians who adhere to the holy virtues of the Bible and support your spiritual growth is essential.

By cultivating healthy relationships, you create an environment that encourages you to live according to God’s principles of holiness and resist the pressures of the world.

It is necessary to guard your mind against negative media, entertainment, and social media influences. These platforms often promote values and ideologies that are contrary to biblical teachings.

By intentionally choosing what you allow into your mind, you can protect yourself from the subtle attacks of dark powers.

Temptation is another phenomenon that requires vigilance and intentional action. The enemy often uses your weaknesses and desires against you, enticing you to compromise the commandments of the LORD.

By recognizing your vulnerabilities and seeking God’s help, you can resist temptation and overcome its grip on your life. Prayer, accountability, and developing healthy habits and righteous routines are practical steps you can take to break free from the allure of temptation.

By actively eliminating negative influences and resisting temptation, you create an environment conducive to spiritual growth and victory over dark powers.

4. Stay Away from Church that Uses Materialism

Involvement in occult practices is a direct invitation to dark powers into your life.

From witchcraft and divination to astrology and fortune-telling, these practices open doors for spiritual oppression and can hinder your relationship with God.

The use of candles, oil, rosary, soap, handkerchief and other similar objects as a medium between you and God during prayers is idolatry and deliverance through this method is purely false manipulation and it won’t be a permanent victory. Trust me – I am sharing a real experience with you!

Renouncing involvement in occult practices involves making a conscious decision to turn away from these activities and seek forgiveness from the LORD.

It is important to note that to overcome dark powers is not a one-time event but an ongoing process. As you grow in your faith, you may discover areas of your life that still need cleansing and healing.

By continually seeking God’s presence and His power for deliverance, you can experience true freedom from the influence of dark powers.

5. Regular Worship and Praise to GOD

Worship and praise are powerful weapons to overcome dark powers. As you exalt and glorify God, His presence fills your life, and the forces of darkness are pushed back.

Cultivating a lifestyle of worship and praise involves making it a daily practice to honor and magnify God in every aspect of our lives.

Worship can take various forms, including singing, dancing, playing instruments, or simply expressing your love and adoration for God. It is an opportunity to connect with Him on a deeper level and invite His presence into your circumstances.

Praise, on the other hand, involves expressing gratitude and thanksgiving to God for His goodness and faithfulness. It is a way to shift your focus from your problems to His promises, filling your heart with joy and peace.

By intentionally praising God in both the good times and the difficult seasons, you declare His victory over any dark power that may try to come against you.

6. You Must Forgive and Love

Forgiveness and love are transformational forces that can break the chains of darkness in your life.

The enemy often uses unforgiveness, bitterness, and hatred to keep you in bondage. By embracing the power of forgiveness and love, you can experience freedom and restoration.

Forgiveness allows you to break free from the cycle of resentment and bitterness, releasing the burden of carrying grudges. It is a powerful act of obedience that opens the door to healing and restoration.

Love, on the other hand, is the greatest weapon against darkness. By loving God and loving others, you align yourself with His heart and His purposes.

Love dispels fear, breaks down walls, and brings healing to broken relationships. The enemy seeks to divide and destroy, but love unites and builds up.

By intentionally choosing to love, even in the face of opposition or hurt, you will overcome the powers of darkness with the power of God’s love.

Embracing forgiveness and love requires a willingness to surrender your pride and your desire for revenge. It involves seeking God’s help in extending grace and mercy to those who have wronged you. By allowing His love to flow through you, you become conduits of His healing and redemptive power.

Don’t be deceived by the dubious prophets and pastors who ask you for money. No amount of money for tithes or special offerings can make you overcome dark powers. Please follow the practical steps above and you will be victorious permanently in Jesus’ name.

I pray as you obey the powerful steps above the LORD will reveal His mighty power to you and you will overcome dark powers troubling your life in Jesus’ name.

How to Achieve Deliverance from Powers of Darkness

Are you tired of feeling trapped and weighed down by the powers of darkness in your life? Do you long for deliverance and a fresh start? Don’t worry anymore! Many years ago, I was under the torment from powers of darkness but the LORD delivered me.

My dream realm was terrible and my daily experience was deadly until I saw the light of Jesus Christ who set me free from the evil forces. In this article, I will guide you on a journey towards breaking free from the chains that bind you.

Understanding the Powers of Darkness

The powers of darkness are real and can have a significant impact on your life. These powers are manifested in different ways, such as fear, anxiety, depression, addiction, and other negative behaviours.

The Bible refers to these powers as spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. These powers seek to keep you in bondage and prevent you from fulfilling your God-given purpose.

“Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” (Ephesians 6:11-12)

The two major ways that the powers of darkness operate is through:

1. Deception

They seek to deceive you into believing lies about yourselves, others, and God. These lies can lead you down a path of destruction and keep you in bondage of sins.

2. Oppression

Evil forces seek to oppress you with feelings of fear, anxiety, depression, and other negative emotions. These emotions can be overwhelming and can make you feel like you are unable to break free from their grip.

The Impact of Powers of Darkness on your life

They can affect your spiritual relationship with God, family, health, finances, and make you stay longer in occult beliefs. For example;

1. Fear can prevent you from stepping out in faith and following God’s will for your life.

2. Depression can rob you of joy and prevent you from enjoying life.

3. Addiction can destroy your health and relationships.

4. These negative behaviors can keep you in bondage and prevent you from living the holy lifestyle that pleases the LORD.

The impact of the powers of darkness on your life can be devastating, but there is hope because I survived and had permanent victory. You can also break free from their influence and experience true freedom and deliverance through the power of Jesus Christ.

10 Steps of Deliverance from Powers of Darkness

Breaking free from the powers of darkness is not an easy process, but it is possible through the Blood of Jesus Christ. I followed the steps below and I am victorious today so I urge you to do the following:

1. Renounce the powers of darkness and all their influence in your life. Stay away from all bad friends, false pastors or other occult relationships.

2. Destroy all idolatry materials with you such as; charms, rosary, candles, soaps, porn materials, and the likes.

3. Lock yourself in your room and confess your sins wholeheartedly and ask GOD to forgive you. Invite the Holy Spirit to come into you.

4. Forgive yourself and others for any hurts or wounds that may be contributing to your bondage.

5. Prayers during the day and the mid-night cannot be overemphasized.

6. Fasting is also very vital if you have some free working days to pray in privacy, but restrain if you have stomach illness.

7. Read the Bible on hourly basis because scriptural meditation is powerful for deliverance.

8. You must be eager to live according to the instructions of Jesus Christ in the Bible. Get set to endure God’s discipline. Your obedience to God’s rules will definitely defeat the demons!

9. Always listen to good Christian worship music because your mind must be active with godly expressions.

10. Visit servants of GOD who are not after your money for spiritual counsel in case you need more spiritual explanation. Though, the Holy Spirit is there for you. You must test all spiritual counsel with the word of Jesus Christ in the Bible and throw away any fallacy or non-scriptural doctrines.

Note: Deliverance through the Power of the LORD is absolutely free of charge, you don’t need to pay tithes, offerings or seeds to any pastor or prophets.

Genuine deliverance from Jehovah must not be accompanied by materialism such as oil, water, handkerchief or speaking in tongues that has no interpretation – beware of many false prophets in the church.

The Bible is full of scriptures that can help you overcome the powers of darkness. Here are some scriptures that you can meditate on and declare over your life:
