Intro

Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me.

I don’t agree w shaming but I do know someone who does.

Acts 16:16–19 NKJV

16 Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune-telling. 17 This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, “These men are the servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” 18 And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” And he came out that very hour. 19 But when her masters saw that their hope of profit was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace to the authorities.

Purpose is to rob you

The spirit realm is about legal right, you give the enemy the legal rite to make you see. A transaction happens!

Problem: You don’t know when he’ll put before you the mirage…slight of hand. Won’t know when you’ve been robbed

Strategy

Confess

to prosper (thrive) v. — to make steady favorable progress or succeed.

Bind the spirit

Shine Your light

1 John 1:5 NKJV

5 This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.

3 For they did not gain possession of the land by their own sword, Nor did their own arm save them; But it was Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your countenance, Because You favored them.

What to expect...

You will probably start seeing what you haven’t seen.

Warning: It may not all be good.

Principle

You can’t look at what you

Psalm 4:1–4 NKJV

1 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have relieved me in my distress; Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer. 2 How long, O you sons of men, Will you turn my glory to shame? How long will you love worthlessness And seek falsehood? Selah 3 But know that the Lord has set apart for Himself him who is godly; The Lord will hear when I call to Him. 4 Be angry, and do not sin. Meditate within your heart on your bed, and be still. Selah
