*The Spirit of Bondage*
*(Galatians 4:1)*
* *
*Introduction*
* *
The concept of unclean spirits represents the reality and activity of demons.
And we have talked much about the prince of demons, also known as Satan
Now, Satan’s name as a created being was not Satan.
He is named Satan after the fall, but as a created being his name was Lucifer.
Lucifer is a very beautiful name (son of the morning)
He is a created being, as are all angels.
He is the angel of angels (He is the anointed Cherub)
Cherubim is the highest order amongst the ranks of angels
So if he is the anointed Cherub (Then he is the highest of the highest order of angelic beings)
*Point:*
There are nine ranks of angels
The cherub is God’s angel of retribution.
If you tread upon the law of God
The wrath of God would come to you by virtue of a cherub.
*Illustration:* Adam & Eve (Cherub ~/ Flaming sword)
Cherubs protect the integrity of the throne of God.
Then there was the messenger from the throne of God.
His name is Gabriel
Gabriel is that angel that looks steadfast in the face of God.
Waiting for God to give the order
*Illustration:* Daniel praying (starting praying ~/ God dispatched Gabriel)
First start praying God sent me to answer your prayer ~/ Before he finished
Then there is another rank of angel called the Seraphim
(Seraphim) – 6-winged angels (2 hide his face ~/ 2 hide his feet ~/ 2 he did fly)
They have an interesting ministry (dispatched to fly around the throne room of God)
(Holy, Holy, Holy, the Lord of Host…)
Church, I am that they can sing about heaven, because one day I want to go to heaven
And I hope some of us will live together on the same street in heaven
That you don’t mind living next door to each other in heaven (get it together down here)
*Illustration:* Be so important to go to heaven (If they had one ticket)
And I want to talk about some things that we need to be aware of if heaven is important
(This world is not my home…)
*Point:*
But, the devil is trying to keep you out heaven.
Now, one of the devil’s name is
The god of this world
The prince of power of the air
That means he is in control with the world’s philosophy
And that’s why it is important that we appreciate these different unclean spirits.
*Point:*
Unclean Spirits are the evidences of demonic activity.
Satan is not omnipresent.
He is not like God and can be everywhere at the same time.
(God is omnipresent) ~/ But Satan is not.
So what he has to help him cover the entire territory are demons.
These are fallen angels and they manifest as unclean spirits in our lives
Which is the evidence of demonic activity.
A couple of things that we learned about unclean spirits is they are territorial ~/ generational
*Point:*
When they get somewhere, they like to stay there.
If they get into your life, they like to stay in your life.
If they get into your house, they like to stay in your house.
If they get into your marriage, they like to stay in your marriage.
If they get into your family tree, they like to stay in your family tree
So, they are territorial.
And they are generational
You can pass them from one generation to another.
*Generational:*
Some children are dealing with things in their life because you dealt with them.
And you passed it along to your son or your daughter.
Now, last week with dealt with an unclean spirit that is primary to the unclean spirit
That we are going to discuss today.
And the primary spirit is the spirit of fear.
*Point:*
And we learned that the spirit of fear will
#.
Paralyze you
#. Stop you from doing things that God has given you the courage to do
Because you are afraid to put in place the gift that God has given you.
*Point:*
In fact, some of us would be further down the road in our personal life (relationship ~/ health) if you had the courage to do what God has called you to do.
But the spirit of fear has paralyzed you.
But we learned that the antidote to the spirit of fear is (mature love ~/ perfect love)
Perfect love will cast out fear.
So, now we are at another unclean spirit and it is embedded in the spirit of fear
And that is the spirit of bondage.
*Point:*
The word bondage is associated with slavery.
It identifies what you are a slave to.
Whatever you are a slave to, you are in bondage to that.
But the essence of what I want to share with you is that Jesus died to set you *free* from bondage.
*Point:*
Yet, the concern is, while the Lord has set you free, some of us are living lives
That is driving us back to the bondage that Jesus died to set you free from.
That’s why we are looking at Galatians 4
*Body:*
In Galatians 4, there are some people who have been delivered and they know they are delivered and yet they are trying to go back to the elemental things of the world.
Now, if you are going to go back to the elemental things of the world
Who are those things controlled by?
They are controlled by the god of this world.
What does he use to do that?
He uses demons.
And demons will leave the residue in your life of their activity
Which is called “Unclean Spirits.”
*Read:* Galatians 4:1 (But he is immature.
He is a child)
As a child, even though he will have the inheritance he won’t receive it now (mess it up)
*Illustration:* 1million dollars to a child ($1000 of candy) ~/ Waits until he matures
