Mass Deliverance Manual

are a lot of them that we are going to understand if we pursue God, and if we’ll just use what we have and keep on moving and ask the Lord for more. Haven’t you found that to be true? But don’t sit around and stall out on your scriptures trying to understand every jot and tittle. It’s good to have an enquiring mind. It’s better to have one that keeps moving; and you can come back to these puzzlers every once in awhile and say, “Hey Lord, you know I’m still wondering about that verse, exactly what that means. If You would tell me what it meant, I sure would appreciate it,” and one of these days when it’s time He will tell you. Now we went a long for months and didn’t know what this last half of this verse was, and I remembered when I read this book and it triggered my mind, the spirits of God , there are spirits of God. I thought I’d been meaning to look that up sometime. For years I had thought I’d go and look that up sometime in the concordance and I never had.

I was like a bird dog that’s on the trail of some birds. I haven’t seen them yet but I’ve heard the whir of their wings. I know they are around there somewhere. And I was getting excited, I felt like, “Lord I believe You’re going to give us a breakthrough.” I just sensed we were on the verge of coming to a breakthrough in deliverance to give us even more power over the enemy, more ability to defeat him, more ability to set people free, and above all to teach them to set themselves and their friends free. So finally I landed over in I John 4:1 when I was running references. I John 4:1 says, “ Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits to see if they be of God .” Now, I had read that verse no telling how many times when I was a baby Christian because I John was one of my favorite books. I used to read and re-read it. When I went
