| Remember, God has forgiven you of all your sins and iniquities. Your sins have been washed as white as snow (Isaiah 1:18). It doesn't mean all your sins are gone, it says what you do have are white as snow because Jesus paid the price and gave you freedom FROM your sin. As we go through these sessions dealing with sins - remember that you have already been forgiven, but the reason we have to deal with them now is that we forgot we were forgiven. By addressing these areas taught through this site, you will discover the Love of God and the pardon given you. That's when your life will truly change! "Don't glory that the devils are subject to you, but glory that your name is written in Heaven" (Luke 10:20). QUESTION:
How do we stay free? "Submit yourselves therefore to God, resist the Devil and He will flee" (James 4:7) When we walk in truth according to the scriptures we are submitting to God. I use to get so confused at how I'm suppose to "submit", and what "to obey" but I finally figured it out. Jesus said in Matthew 22:38-40 and in I, II, III John of the Bible, that the two commandments are "Love the Lord our God and Love our neighbor as we love ourself". If we did these things, we wouldn't have to figure out what the other things are because we will treat people, and ourselves, properly. We won't want to covet the neighbors wife, we wouldn't want to steal, we wouldn't want to take God's name in vein, etc.. Then when we do fail in these areas we can go to Him without fear, condemnation or guilt and receive cleansing of our hearts. He asks us to come boldly to His throne because He loves us (Hebrews 4:16). When we can have that kind of relationship with God, we are submitting. When we submit to God, we are resisting the devil! Then of course if the devil cannot get to you, he flees! To fear God means to HATE EVIL (Proverbs 8:13) Proverbs 16:24: "Pleasant words are as honeycomb, sweet to the soul and health to the bones" (Not only to others but for yourself. What are you speaking out of your mouth?)
What are the wiles? Webster’s definition of "Wiles:" artifice, craft, trick, connections, doubtful, guile (synonym), deception, snare, sly, to draw or turn as by diverting the mind. They are those sins that you manifest from these wiles. They are the devil’s characteristics coming through in us. How do we keep them away? By watching and praying, discerning the truth when we see something come our way, confessing it when it tries taking root so it is plucked up at it’s On-Set! Remember that offense is the #1 root plaguing God’s people today. Don’t let the enemy get a foothold! That is an OPEN DOOR to many manifestations. We need to Pay Attention to what we are Paying Attention To (2 Corinthians 10:5) |

As you confess your sins, which may be comprised of the "wiles" of the devil, you now recognize them so when they come at you again, you can resist by the Word of God. Speaking Truth only. Believing Truth only. Because you know what is NOT truth.
Keep our thoughts captive under truth. Casting down all imaginations that exhalts itself against the knowledge of God. (II Corinthians 10:5)
(Phillippians 4:8) "Finally brethren, Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, if there be any praise, think on these things. AND those things which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do, and the God of pease shall be with you."
What comes out of your mouth? A Good Report or a Bad report?
By staying transparent before God, walking in truth, you will remain free.
When you sin, don’t run from God, run TO Him. We need to trust the Love of God is unconditional for us. All He asks is that when we do sin or make a mess of things, come to Him with our "rap sheet" seeking His forgiveness in Spirit and in Truth.
If you do all you know to do by following the guidelines in this teaching, prayed to God for wisdom, strength and discernment and you don’t see results right away, this doesn’t mean you are to run into doubt, fear or go into unbelief. It means you need to be diligent and stand! How long have you waited for the healing? Healing takes time and patience. Once you’ve done all you know, let God now do the part He has promised you in HIS timing. You need to believe God is healing you. Don’t lose hope! He cannot do anything with us without our faith. It is impossible to please God without believing Him. Hebrews Chapter One.
Give up to God = holiness
Give up to self = sin
By walking in TRUTH with God, ourselves and our fellowman, staying transparent before God, not hiding from our wrongs but confessing them to God, WE WILL REMAIN FREE!
FINAL NOTE: We have given you a wealth of information. Take ALL that you have received to the Lord and make sure you get His opinion and guidance on every matter taught.
