1 "He brought my soul out of prison that I may praise his name." Psalms 142:7
CAN YOU IMAGINE how terrible it would be to find YOURSELF a prisoner,
LOCKED behind bars where you could not get out!
TO BE BOUND there in darkness and despair, and caged like an animal.
TO KNOW in your heart you were created to be free, unshackled to roam the
good earth in glorious liberty ... but, instead ...
The EVIL ENEMY captured and robbed you of your freedom.
He left you cast down, afflicted, hopeless, and in utter despair!
SUDDENLY!
You see a SHINING LIGHT dispelling the darkness. You have a VISITOR!
HE APPEARED as one having all authority; yet, HE was gracious and his eyes
were full of compassion.
He said, "I have a KEY that OPENS ALL PRISON DOORS."
"I came here for this very purpose: TO BRING DELIVERANCE to the
CAPTIVES."
"TO LOOSE those who are BOUND by the enemy."
"TO DESTROY his work."
"TO SET AT LIBERTY all those that are BOUND." CAN YOU IMAGINE YOUR
REACTION? What tender mercy!
What undeserved grace! TO OFFER LIFE instead of death!
HOPE, like a ray of sunshine, SPRINGS FORTH as HE INSERTS THOSE
PRECIOUS KEYS into the lock. The DOOR SWINGS OPEN!
and HE SAYS TO YOU, "GO FREE."

Key of David
Page 4
He that hath an ear, LET HIM HEAR what the SPIRIT saith unto the
CHURCHES"-Rev. 3:7-12."
SHALOM,
KEY OF DAVID
Jesus holds the KEY of DAVID, to OPEN A DOOR no man can close; TO CLOSE
A DOOR no man can open. In this study we are able to glimpse an overall picture
of just how this KEY works.
Jesus is in charge of all our directions. HE OPENS THE DOORS He wants us to
enter, and SHUTS those He does not want us to go in.
You may be wondering just how the HOLY SPIRIT fits into this work since He is
responsible for leading and guiding us into ALL truth.
The Holy Spirit knows the DOORS that are OPENED by the KEY OF DAVID so
He takes over the job of leading us through them.
The following Scripture verses will help us to understand the work of the Key of
David.
"And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira,
which worshiped God, heard us: whose Heart the Lord OPENED, that she
attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul"-Acts 16:14.
The Key of David OPENS ALL DOORS-even the DOOR of a heart
"After this I looked, and behold a DOOR WAS OPENED In Heaven, and the first
voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me, which said,
"Come up hither, and I will SHOW TREE THINGS which must be hereafter"-Rev.
4:1.
Page 5
Page 6
"Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a DOOR was
OPENED unto me OF THE LORD."-II Cor. 2:12.
See. He OPENS DOOR after DOOR by the KEY of DAVID.
"And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came: and they that were ready
went in with him unto the marriage: and the DOOR WAS SHUT' -Matt. 25:10.
Here the door is OPENED to "The ready," and SHUT to those who aren't.
"Strive to enter in at the STRAIT GATE: for many, 1 say unto you, will seek to
enter in, and shall not be able.
"When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath SHUT the DOOR, and
ye begin to stand without and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, OPEN
unto us, and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are.
"But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are: depart from me, all ye
workers of iniquity Luke 13:24,25,27.
When the Lord SHUTS the DOOR of the STRAIT GATE, the workers of iniquity
cannot enter.
"And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the
prison were shaken: and Immediately all the DOORS WERE OPENED, and
EVERYONE'S BANDS were LOOSED."- Acts 16:26
The Holy Spirit led Paul and Silas to the prison DOOR which Jesus OPEN ED for
them to enter into for the purpose of converting the Philippian Jailer and his
family.
Here we see a spectacular OPENING of the prison DOORS to ASTOUND the
jailer and cause him to believe!
ISN'T JESUS SOMETHING?

The Key of Knowledge
Page 10
"And for me, that UTTERANCE may be GIVEN unto me, that I may open my
mouth boldly, to make known the MYSTERY of the GOSPEL"- Eph 6:19.
"Even the MYSTERY which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but
now is made MANIFEST to HIS SAINTS."-Col. 1:26.
. . . and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding to the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of the MYSTERY of GOD, and of the FATHER, and of
CHRIST.
In WHOM are HID all the treasures of WISDOM and KNOWLEDGE."-Col. 2:2,3.
"Surely the Lord God will do nothing but he REVEALETH HIS SECRET unto his
SERVANTS the PROPHETS."- Amos 3:7.
... Because it is given UNTO YOU to KNOW the mysteries of the KINGDOM of
HEAVEN, but to them it is not given."-Matt 13:11.
THESE THREE KEYS THAT BELIEVERS HOLD OPEN PRISON DOORS AND
SET THE CAPTIVES FREE!
See Isa. 61:1.

Chapter 7
Peter is Given the Keys
"And I will give unto thee the Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven; and whatsoever
thou shalt BIND on earth shall be bound in Heaven: And whatsoever thou shalt
LOOSE on earth shall be loosed in Heaven."-Matt. 16:19.
Jesus gave Peter the Keys to the Kingdom-BINDING and LOOSING that
whatsoever, anything, or being that he bound or loosed in Heaven and earth,
would be bound or loosed in Heaven or earth by Him, also.
WHAT POWER IN THESE TWO WORDS1
To be able to speak a word forth-"Be BOUND" and have Heaven BIND it, or "Be
LOOSED" and have Heaven LOOSE IT. What a tremendous responsibility to
know how to use these Keys properly; to know God's express will on the matter;
to know the difference between an evil spirit that needs BINDING and a spirit that
needs LOOSING, or when to BIND and when to LOOSE.
We need to know how to work the Works of God in every given situation and how
to try a spirit by the individual fruit.
Why was Peter blessed with these two Keys?
"He saith unto him, 'But whom say YE that I am?' And Simon Peter answered
and said, THOU ART THE CHRIST, THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD." -Matt.
16:15-16.
Page 13
Peter had the PROPER ANSWER to the question that Jesus asked him, and
Jesus knew that only the Father could have revealed it unto him.
"And Jesus answered and said unto him, BLESSED ART THOU, Simon Bar-ions:
for FLESH and BLOOD hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which Is in
Heaven"-Matt. 16:17.
Flesh and Blood-no human being had revealed Jesus unto Peter, only the Father.
The person to whom Jesus Is revealed is a Chosen Vessel.
Paul says in Galatians 1:16,17, that when "God was pleased to reveal His Son to
me ... I did not confer with flesh and blood, nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those
who were apostles before me;" that is, he did not receive his Gospel from Peter
or James or any other man. He was not CALLED by any Church, but through
DIVINE REVELATION.
"And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my
Church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against It"-Matt. 16:18.
This Scripture is very important to us because it is here that Jesus chooses the
foundation of His eternal Church which will forever be with Him throughout the
ages. Those who have this Revelation are to form the eternal union with the
Father, the Son, the Holy Ghost and the Church.
Peter was the first man that Jesus chose to build His Church upon. It was not
upon Peter as a man that He laid His foundation, but it was upon that
"substance" of Inner awareness, KNOWLEDGE, and recognition given only by
the Father in Heaven.
SUBSTANCE
"Now faith is the SUBSTANCE of things hoped for, the evidence of things not
seen--Hebrews 11:1.
Page 14
What is the "Substance" that He has chosen to build His Church upon? It
certainly is not the flesh of man.
It is that "Substance" of God, that real essence of God stuff which underlies all
outward manifestations-that which is real. It is that which is the most important,
main part, or element in any existence. It is the God given Revelation and
KNOWLEDGE of Christ. It is the "Substance" hidden deep within us that the
gates of Hell cannot prevail against! It Is an indestructible fortress against the
Host of Hell!
Hell's powers cannot hold out or be effective against such a "Substance." No, this
material truly is such that there is no weapon formed that will make a dent in it. It
will not dent, crumble. bend, break, corrode, bum or give in!
I repeat, it Is truly an indestructible Substance!
What is this Wonderful, powerful "Substance" that overcomes Hell and the
World?
"Whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world: and this IS the victory that
overcomes the World, EVEN our FAITH"-1 John 5:4.
So ... this "Substance" is Faith?
"Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that BELIEVETH that JESUS IS
THE SON OF GOD?"-1 John 5:5.
"Who do you say that I am?"
"Lord, I say you are Christ, the Son of the Living God!"
So ... Christ will build His Church upon KNOWLEDGE of Him.
Upon those to whom God has raised the curtain of darkness and revealed the
SON OF LIGHT.
Those who "KNOW HIM as the CHRIST." That HE is whom they believe)
Page 15
That HE is able!
That HE is all that He claimed to be and morel
-that in HIM is Eternal Life, Power, Redemption. Authority of the Godhead,
Everlasting Word, the Son of the Living God!
Yes, those to whom the fullness of Christ is revealed. they will become the" rock"
that Christ will build His Church upon, and the gates of Hell CANNOT prevail
against them. To those ... will be handed these Keys to the Kingdom:
BINDING, LOOSING, and KNOWLEDGE!
To those ... there will be nothing hidden that shall not be revealed!
Do not be misled and think because of this issue of Godliness, that our bodies
are invincible. While this "Substance" within us cannot be damaged, WE are
mere mortals of clay; flesh and blood containers. Paul spoke of it thusly:
"We possess THIS PRECIOUS TREASURE In frail, human vessels of earth, that
the GRANDEUR and EXCEEDING GREATNESS of the POWER may be shown
to be OF GOD, and not FROM OURSELVES!-II Cor. 4:7. Amp. Ver.
Paul said that even while WE ARE CARRYING about THIS GODLY POWER that
we are:
Troubled on every side, yet not distressed. Perplexed,
but not in despair. Persecuted,
but not forsaken. Cast down,
but not destroyed.
Yes, we are subject to all of these things just as Christ was subject to them.
We still hurt, ache, cut, bruise, and bleed. But while we

The Believer Holds the Keys of Binding and Loosing
"Verily I SAY unto you, Whatsoever YE shall BIND on earth shall be BOUND in
Heaven: and whatsoever ye shall LOOSE on earth shall be LOOSED In Heaven.
Again, I SAY unto you, That If TWO of you shall AGREE on earth as TOUCHING
ANYTHING that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which Is In
Heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name there am I in
the midst."-Matt. 18:18-20.
In these verses Jesus reinforces the teaching given in Matthew 16:19, to prove
that the Believer Church is given the KEYS to the KINGDOM and to show that
Jesus committed to the Believer the general POWER of DECISION.
Two or three gathered together in agreement on any given situation with Jesus in
the midst constitutes a full fledged church.
In Matt. 18:18, the promise is now made, not to Peter alone, but to any two or
three Believers gathered in JESUS' NAME.
At the time Jesus spoke, there was no local church congregation with pastor,
board members, etc. He placed this POWER in the hand of the Believing
Disciple, where it still remains.
Satan knows about the POWER of these TWO KEYS.
Page 18
He probably dreads and trembles at the mention of the two words "BIND and
LOOSE." He is jealous, mad, and fearful about Jesus taking them out of his hand
and entrusting them to the Believer.
He would positively annihilate us if he could. His only consolation must be the
ignorance of many or most Believers, in picking up and using the KEYS.
Those of us who believe that Jesus is the Christ, the SON OF THE LIVING GOD,
have a job to do.
As God sent Jesus out to do a job for him, JESUS SENDS US in the same way
to FINISH HIS WORK.
SO SEND I YOU
"Just as YOU sent ME into the world, I ALSO HAVE SENT THEM INTO THE
WORLD. And so for their sake and on their behalf I sanctify (dedicate,
consecrate) myself, that they also may be sanctified (dedicated, consecrated,
made Holy) in the TRUTH. Neither for these alone do 1 pray-it is not for their
sake only that I make this request-but also for ALL THOSE WHO WILL EVER
COME TO BELIEVE IN (trust, cling to, rely on) ME through their word and
teaching; So that the ALL may be ONE Gust) as You, Father, are In Me and I In
You, that they also may be one In US, so that the world may believe and be
convinced that YOU HAVE SENT ME.
I HAVE GIVEN TO THEM THE GLORY AND HONOR WHICH YOU HAVE
GIVEN ME, that they may be ONE (even) as WE are ONE. I in them, and You in
ME, In order that they may become ONE and perfectly UNITED, that the world
may know and (definitely) recognize that You SENT Me, and that You have
LOVED them (even) as You have LOVED Me."-John 17:18-23, Amp. Ver.
YES, HIS MINISTRY HAS BEEN COMMITTED UNTO US. We must be
convinced of this fact if we are going to get results in almost EVERY WORK of
GOD!

Chapter 9
He Chooses Us
DEAR CHILDREN:
YOUR REAL HOME IS IN HEAVEN!
I BEG you not to partake of the evil pleasures of this world: THEY ARE NOT FOR
YOU, for they FIGHT against your very souls.
LONG AGO, EVEN BEFORE I MADE THE WORLD, I CHOSE YOU TO BE MY
VERY OWN, through what I did for you.
I DECIDED THEN TO MAKE YOU HOLY IN MY EYES, without a single fault. You
who stand before me COVERED with my love.
YOU DIDNT CHOOSE ME ... I CHOSE YOU!
I APPOINTED YOU TO GO and PRODUCE LOVELY FRUIT, always, so that no
matter what you ask for from the FATHER, using MY NAME, HE WILL GIVE IT
TO YOU.
I DEMAND THAT YOU LOVE EACH OTHER, for you get enough hate from the
world: But then, it hated me before it hated you. The world would love you if you
belonged to it, BUT YOU DONT. for 1 CHOSE YOU TO COME OUT OF THE
WORLD, and so it hates you.
You have been CHOSEN MY ME, MYSELF, YOU ARE MY PRIESTS. I am the
KING, you are HOLY and PURE, you are MY VERY OWN. YOU MUST SHOW
TO OTHERS how I CALLED you out of the darkness into my wonderful LIGHT.
ONCE you were less than nothing; NOW YOU ARE MY OWN. MY BELOVED,
once you knew very little of my kindness; NOW your very lives have been
changed by it.

talks. They are his body by which he manifests himself to be both seen and
heard by the world, to be both audible and visible.
YE SHALL KNOW THEM BY THEIR FRUIT!
"These things I HAVE SPOKEN UNTO YOU, that in ME ye might have PEACE.
In the world, YE SHALL HAVE TRIBULATION, but BE of GOOD CHEER. I HAVE
OVERCOME THE WORLD"-John 18:33.
SHALOM,

Chapter 10
His Part and Our Part
"Together they will wage war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them;
for he is LORD OVER ALL LORDS and KING OF KINGS, and his people are the
CALLED and CHOSEN and FAITHFUL ones'-Rev. 17:14.
CALLED CHOSEN FAITHFUL
You may be called. You may be chosen. But only the FAITHFUL ones will be at
His side when He conquers the enemy! So, remember the calling and choosing
Is HIS part. But to be faithful is YOUR part.
What is OUR part in the action of BINDING and LOOSING?
The Bible says, you BIND and LOOSE. (Matt. 16:19; 18:18.)
Let us examine this power to BIND. OUR part In this work is to decide what
needs to be done. Study my book, HOW TO TRY A SPIRIT, to determine it there
is fruit of an evil spirit. If so. we must first BIND that spirit, then SPEAK
destruction to the fruit he is producing.
Next, we must deal with past damages done by these evil ones.
Then, to DECREE it, as a KING. to SAY it either out loud or silently to God, and
to believe HIS WORD is indisputably true.
After we have finished this work of God, OUR part of the action ends, and GOD'S
part begins.
We do not take chains and ropes and tie up a being GOD DOES!
Page 23
Page 24
Chapter 11
Believer's Choice
Page 25
We are not to go up to a mountain or obstacle and say to God, "I'm sorry, I can't
get this job done. An evil spirit withstood me, and I could not do it, so I gave up."
No, that excuse won't do.
Make a decision of exactly what you need done to get His WILL accomplished.
Then. SPEAK it to the object before God. (It is not necessary to speak it aloud
unless led. You are not dealing with flesh and blood, but principalities, and
powers of darkness.)
God is saying to us, YOU BIND IT, I BIND IT ... YOU LOOSE and I LOOSE."
Let's get on with it. We have POWER to move things and persons around in
order to do the will of God.
The KEYS of BINDING and LOOSING do not only apply to deliverance, but to all
the spirit realm.
When Jesus says that the spirits are subject to us, He did not say good or bad in
bodies or out of bodies, but all of them. We, indeed, hold these KEYS and must
be led by His SPIRIT.
This power may be a new idea to you, and you maybe a little shocked about it,
but Satanic forces know it, and so should YOU.
BINDING and LOOSING makes a real difference in any given situation. To BIND
an enemy, or an evil work, and LOOSE a friend. and a good work, is a mighty
POWER given to the Believer to bring about God's will upon the earth even as it
is now in Heaven.
We BI ND the evil entities or spirits active in each case, giving them whatever
sentences or constrainment we decide upon.
A maximum sentence would be: To be carried to Babylon and BOUND, not to
work again in this age, but to await the opening of the pit and to be cast into it
along with Satan when it is opened by Jesus, who holds the KEY to HELL. (Rev.
1:18.)
We are N OT given that Key, so we cannot send them to the pit before the time.
Page 26
We LOOSE the human body from evil powers that cause sickness, sorrow, unsoundness,
unhappiness, torment, captivity, etc.
WE have been given POWER over all the powers of evil-why should WE knuckle under? LET
them crumble under OUR AUTHORITY!
Don't let Satan get away with ill God allows what we allow and disallows what we disallow.
DON'T ALLOW IT RESTRICT CONSTRAIN CONFINE YES, BIND IT!

13 Power in Action
Page 31
The short time this took was plenty of time for me to go into the presence of God
and find out just what, if anything, needed to be done by me concerning this man.
As I said before, some may walk accidentally, but those who are SONS are LED
BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD into all things.
Suddenly, I began to know that this man was called to the ministry at one time,
but was far away from God today. l knew every thing I needed to know about him
and how to proceed in the few blocks until we dropped him off.
I bound the SPIRIT of BONDAGE that had him enslaved, the SPIRIT of
WHOREDOMS which worked with Bondage. I took out the SWORD of the
SPIRIT of GOD and chased off all the FAMILIAR SPIRITS, COM MON SPIRITS,
ETC., who illegally lived within him.
I asked God to pour out His SPIRIT of SUPPLICATION and GRACE upon him, to
plead with him, showing him the price paid upon Calvary for his redemption; to let
him review his position and destination if he continued upon his present course. It
doesn't take long to do all of this work, as it was done in quietness in the SPIRIT
REALM.
He sat very quietly, as we drove back to his car. I used this time to tell him that
we were ministers and had a Christian camp not faraway.
We stopped behind his car, and he got out without hardly a comment.
I thought, "Well ... I guess I do the plowing and the planting and Apollos can do
the harvesting this time. After all, it's not my affair, I've done my part. The HOLY
GHOST can do HIS, HIS WAY It is God's problem, if He doesn't move now, I
can't."
While I was taking my usual "Don't blame me, God" attitude, the man stooped
down by my car window to thank us. I heard my voice say, "You know that God
wants you to come back to Him, don't you? You know He called you to preach,
and you are far from Him."
His eyes began to widen to look at us in a strange way.
He said. "I knew it! Of all the cars that were passing
Page 32
Chapter14
Binding and Loosing Supply Lines
Do you know Satan will try to cut off the Minister's supplies?
He will do so by BINDING. clogging, hindering, and interfering with the good
supply to try to keep US in poverty and need-one of the best ways to keep US
from producing fruit.
When someone pulls up to a gas tank and tells the attendant to fill it up, he
cannot pay for it with a teaching or a word of knowledge. The attendant needs
cash.
Where is this CASH supposed to come from?
It could be found in the fishes' mouth, but God does not always choose to do it
that way.
HE HAS ANOTHER PLAN:
THE TITHE
GOD HAS CLAIMED A TENTH FOR HIMSELF of all income, fruit, herd, flock,
etc., of all the increase.
"And all the TITHE of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of
the tree is the LORD'S: IT is HOLY unto the Lord."-Lev. 27:30.
Page 34
WHAT FOR?
God has the responsibility of being PROVIDER for this group:
THE LEVITES. the CALLED, CHOSEN, and FAITHFUL THE STRANGER
THE WIDOW
THE FATHERLESS
"Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the LEVITE as long as thou Iivest
upon the earth Deut. 12:19.
Who is the Lord referring to here?
The LEVITE, a title which besides denoting all the descendants of Levi, the
Priesthood of the Levites, refers to the CALLED, CHOSEN, and FAITHFUL
SERVANTS who are SET APART for the service of the Lord, (Deut. 10:8.
WHY?
The LEVITE has no inheritance among you. His inheritance is the LORD."
"Wherefore LEVI hath no part nor inheritance with his brethren, the Lord Is HIS
INHERITANCE according as the Lord thy God promised him." Deut. 10:9; (Num.
18:24).
WHERE IS GOD'S TENTH?
The Devil doesn't hold our supply money, unless he has stolen. robbed, or
wheedled it out of the true holder.
NO, GOD HAS ENTRUSTED HIS TENTH into the hands and stewardship of the
Saints.
HOW IS THE TENTH DISTRIBUTED?
These Saints are to take the tenth of all their income (which is really HIS) and to
DISTRIBUTE it property and to PAY his faithful laborers ... on time.
Page 35
"Even so hath the Lord ORDAINED that they which PREACH THE GOSPEL
should LIVE of the GOSPEL." I Cor. 9:14.
The Devil is out to prevent those who are holding the funds from giving them to
the right people at the right time to meet their need.
If the Devil is not able to prevent it, then perhaps he will succeed in delaying it.
The Devil may accomplish this mission by injecting a mere thought into someone
who maybe considering supplying a worker's need. It could go something like
this:
"I feel led to help poor Brother So and So with his mission... Maybe, next week."
Thus we end up cooperating with the evil BINDING to withhold God's good
supply from a Gospel work or worker.
No matter how Satan has managed to accomplish his evil work, what can we do
about it?
We can take our KEYS to the KINGDOM. which are BINDING and LOOSING,
and LOOSE our supply lines from these evil BINDINGS.
TO LOOSE A FINANCIAL BIND "Sample Prayer"
FATHER:
You said a MINISTER of the GOSPEL is to eat and live by partaking of the altar
gifts, and your tithing plan, which is reserved for the purpose of paying your
servants who are on the battlefield.
We confess that we have been chosen and sent to do this good work, and that
your WORD says that we must be thoroughly furnished for it.
All the riches are yours, and all the silver and gold.
Now ... In the NAME of JESUS, and by the powers invested in us, we LOOSEN
the holds of the Devil and his forces, whatever they be, upon our supply, from
those who are holding on to them.
Page 36
FATHER, your WORD teaches us that we CAST down every evil imagination,
bringing into captivity every contrary thought of disobedience to the
DISTRIBUTION of GOD'S GOOD SUPPLY TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE
SAINTS. Therefore, we cast down every high thing which exalts itself against the
knowledge of You in the TITHE-PLAN.
We stand ready to revenge all disobedience after we have obeyed (11 Cor.
10:5,6).
WE LOOSE THESE FUNDS. WE RELEASE OUR SUPPLY AND DIRECT IT TO
BE FORTHCOMING to us so that our work and life may go on unhampered. We
now SEND out a Ministering Spirit to go forth according to Hebrews 1:14, and
bring in these finances. FATHER, you are able to make all grace, favor, and
earthly blessing come to us in abundance. We realize that you are now working
on this presented matter, and we await with thankful hearts to receive.
IN JESUS NAME and to HIS GLORY. AMEN
NOW ..TURN THE TABLES!
The Devil is out to BIND up our supply lines. Most of us are willing to concede
this fact, because we have experienced such a BINDING.
BUT..
Very few of us understand that WE are supposed to be working ever harder and
more powerfully to do the same thing to the evil forces. Sometimes the evil spirit
is doing more with no keys than we are doing with them!
One day this fact was revealed to me very clearly while watching a T. V. report
about a well-known 'Satanic" rock group which was appearing in our area.
The program showed families sitting in the audience. It told how before the
program the WARLOCKS went through their rituals to psyche out the people to
buy their merchandise. They made no pretense about who they called upon, as
they took blood communion with Satan before the audience.
Page 37
The interview shared that they would have to take in a certain amount of money
in order to continue their work.
The SPIRIT of GOD directed me to cut off their finances and to see if they would
serve their Lord for nothing, as we sometimes are forced to do because of evil
BINDINGS and intervention.
Where they loosed the money from the people to Come to them, I BOUND it.
I commanded that all psychic commands directed to the minds of the people to
cause them to purchase their records, tapes, T-shirts. etc., be broken and
annulled.
Instead, I gave a new command. It went something like this prayer of entreaty:
"AUDIENCE OF THIS EVIL GROUP, I entreat you in the NAME of JESUS NOT
TO SIT IN THE COUNSEL OF THIS UNGODLY GROUP lest you and your seed
become partakers of the curses and rewards of their evil deeds. Do not subject
yourselves and your innocent children to their hexes and plans to rob you of your
money and SOULS.
I entreat you, do not purchase their products. I LOOSE you from obeying their
psychic commands.
Satan, I COMMAND that all the benefits be cut OFF from this group. Money,
drugs, fame, popularity, sex, Satanic powers, are all to be withheld from them. I
now BIND all these things before God, IN JESUS NAME."
Do you know what God will do now? Matt. 16:19.
HE WILL BIND IT IN HEAVEN AND EARTH. It could not get any more BOUND
up than that!
I continued to pray as led by the Holy Spirit, launching a powerful SPIRITUAL
attack upon them, forbidding any further prosperity to them.
Some time later. I caught a news report saying that they were in financial trouble.
To my knowledge they are still in trouble, unless they have repented. God usually
shows me the outcome of all led intervention.
If you become frightened with this direct attack against Satan and his forces,
here are some comforting Scriptures:
Page 38
"How you are fallen from Heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning How you are cut
down to the ground-mighty though you were against the nations of the world. For
you said to yourself, I will ascend to Heaven and rule the angels. I will take the
highest throne. I will preside on the Mount of Assembly far away In the north. I
will climb to the highest heavens and be like the Most High.
But INSTEAD, YOU WILL BE BROUGHT DOWN to the PIT of HELL, down to Its
lowest depths. EVERYONE THERE WILL STARE AT YOU and ASK, CAN THIS
BE THE ONE WHO DESTROYED THE WORLD and MADE It Into a shambles
and DEMOLISHED Its greatest cities and had no mercy on his prisoners?" Isa.
14:12-17.
DO NOT BE AFRAID! Satan would not be able to do as much destruction it
BELIEVERS BOUND and LOOSED his SUPPLY LINES with these KEYS to the
KINGDOM!

Binding Amiss for Personal Reasons
Page 40
If we are not knowledgeable. all of us in some way might try to judge or restrict
others. We must be on guard against this type of BINDING.
TO BIND, RESTRICT, AND SUPPRESS FOR PERSONAL REASONS
Here is another example of how It is possible to BIND AMISS:
Christians are guilty of BINDING AMISS without realizing it. This makes it even
more important to learn how to try a SPIRIT by its fruit. For whatever BINDINGS
that are done-intentional or unintentionally-remain BOUND until they are
LOOSED!
When God first began to open my eyes on this subject. I was shocked to learn
that my husband was suppressing me. when I thought it was the Devil.
Both of us were involved in a large and heavy ministry when I discovered that I
was BOUND, not only in the development of the ministry, but also in many
personal endeavors.
Naturally, I BOUND and CAST out SPIRITS to no avail. I was still BOUND and
BLOCKED on every turn. It seemed that this force anticipated my every move
and set up stumbling blocks in my path. There was no physical reason that I
could see blocking me, but nevertheless, 1 was restrained!
Finally in a state of despair. I cried out to God. God spoke to me and said, "Go
and ask your husband what he wants to do about this mission." I confronted my
husband and told him what God had said to me. Then for the first time. he
confessed to me that he did not feel up to the work involved in the ministry and
that he d id not want the work to progress any further. He was hindering the work
by suppression and refusing to cooperate. Through his frustration, he was
BINDING the work!
His reasons for ding this was that he felt overwhelmed by the vastness of tie
ministry, but God made a way of escape for both of us. God placed him in a
ministry more
Page 41
suitable and made away for me to serve Him in the ways he had called me to.
I thank God for this revelation! It reveals how someone unintentionally can BIND
us for personal reasons.
God CALLS US to excel beyond all boundaries of man into His strength, His
powers, His capabilities. and His accomplishments.

Chapter 16
Destroy the Works of the Devil
"Jesus partook of the same nature, that by going through death, HE MIGHT
BRING TO NOUGHT and MAKE NO EFFECT him who had the power of death,
that Is, the Devil; and also, that HE MIGHT DELIVER and COMPLETELY SET
FREE ALL those who through the fear of death were hold In BONDAGE
throughout the whole course of their lives" -Heb. 2:14. Amp. Ver.
This is the purpose for which the SON of GOD was made manifest, that HE
might "Bring to nought. and to make of no effect the work of the Devil." I John 3:8
Amp. Ver.
Jesus Christ came to DESTROY the works of the Devil. He came to do this not
only for three years during His ministry, but FOREVER. As we consider this fact,
we have to face the reality that although He came to destroy the work of the
Devil, there yet remains much work of the devil in evidence. And even though He
came to deliver ALL that are oppressed by the Devil, there are still those who
ARE oppressed.
Jesus intended that his followers carry on HIS earthly MISSION-to both do and
teach new Believers the practice of bringing to nought and making of no effect
the work of the Devil.
The early Believers DID CARRY on this work that Jesus commissioned them to
do. After a time, FAITH WAS LOST, and the followers of Christ failed to do this
work.
Page 43
Page 44
Do not let it count or matter. Treat it as if it never happened. Do not give place to
it.
LET the enemy know that you will fight. He will engage you less and less. Then
you will be able to be part of the answer instead of the problem.
God truly has an ARMY marching through the land!
As the song says: God's got an ARMY marching through this land.
DELIVERANCE is their game, and HEALING is in their hand.
God's got an ARMY marching through this land, and in this ARMY I have a
'PART'."
BE STRONG IN THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT!

Chapter 17
The Use of Binding for the Work of the Gospel
God wants us to take much liberty with the scriptures to profit and produce much
fruit or interest for his Kingdom.
"But the manifestation of the SPIRIT is given to EVERY MAN to PROFIT with."- I
Cor. 12:7.
One aspect to our BINDING abilities widely overlooked is the use of BINDING
the specific scriptures to those to whom we minister. These spoken WORDS
become the ACTIVATED, LIVING SPOKEN WORD. This speaking WORD will
not return void, without accomplishing what it was sent out to do. After it has
accomplished its task, the WORD returns to God!
if the WORD is BOUND to someone before God, according to Matthew 18:18,
then it stays there nagging, tugging, and speaking to that person until they
receive the message this WORD intends for them.
AN EXAMPLE
My sister and I went to Alabama and baptized another sister who believed. While
there we converted and led my brother to the Lord. We then desired to baptize
him in water according to the Scriptures. He would not be convinced it was
necessary at all.
On our way home we were praying about this and the Lord showed us we could
use our Key of BINDING to BIN D the Scriptures of water baptism to him.
Page 46
Page 47
When we arrived, not only my brother was baptized, but we baptized my two
nephews, a niece, and an employee of his. After they were converted we
baptized five in the Cahaba River. Praise be to the all powerful Father and His
Son, Jesus Christ! God did a tremendous work there! A special bonus awaited
me in Atlanta, where I baptized my own grandson!
The Spirit of Iniquity did work, but being forewarned we were able to overcome it
with spiritual warfare.
This is how God taught us the effectiveness of BINDING a "LIVING WORD" to a
person, once again proving to us that BINDING and LOOSING are the Keys to
the Kingdom!
SCRIPTURAL BASIS FOR THIS WORK
All disobedient spirits are subject to us through God. Why should we neglect this
great tool of "BINDING POWER"? This power will aid us to win, and to keep, and
to nourish the souls of our children and those whom God has laid on our hearts
to minister to. ,
The powers of darkness are using their inferior powers to capture their prey. They
are working their work upon our seed. They are sending forth a "Psychic Word"
of their own to bind a person. Let's not let them have advantage over us. We
must come into our own rights as heirs of God to work the Work of God that He
has called us to do.
WE ARE MINISTERS OF THE WORD. Therefore, when you give them the Word,
go a step further-BIND it around their neck, and then stir up the Word in them
from time to time. It's Scriptural!
The following Scriptures prove beyond any doubt that we, as MINISTERS, can:
1. Bind 5. Put
2. Write 8. Lay
3. Keep 7. Teach
4. Give 8. Speak
It would certainly be proper for us to take certain Scriptures (working in the spirit
realm) and BIND them to our rebellious or wayward seed such as this one from
Deut. 11:18-20:
Page 48
"Therefore shall ye LAY up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and
BIND them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your
eyes, And ye shall TEACH them to your children, SPEAKING of them when thou
slttest in thine house, and when thou (lest down, and when thou risest up. And
thou shalt WRITE them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates:
That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land
which the Lord sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of Heaven upon
the earth. For if ye shall diligently keep all these commandments which I
command you, to DO them, to LOVE the Lord your God, to WALK in all his ways,
and to CLEAVE unto him:"
"Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: BIND them about thy neck: WRITE them
upon the table of thine heart." Proverbs 3:3.
To KEEP mercy and truth from leaving you. BIND them around your neck: WEAR
them as a necklace, and GIVE them as gifts to a loved one. PUT them around a
son or daughter's neck. WRITE them upon the table of your heart. Do a little
spiritual writing upon the table of your children's and grandchildren's heart, your
lost sons and daughters.
"My son, KEEP my WORDS, and LAY up my COMMANDMENTS and live; and
my law as the apple of thine eye. BIND them upon thy fingers, WRITE them upon
the table of chine heart." Pro. 7:1-3.
"Let thine heart RETAIN my WORDS: KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS and live.
GET wisdom, GET understanding, FORGET it not; neither DECLINE from the
WORDS of my mouth." Pro. 4:4,5.
"I entreat you to: ENTER NOT Into the path of the wicked and GO NOT in the
way of evil men. AVOID It, PASS NOT by it, TURN FROM It, and PASS AWAY."
Pro. 4:14,15.
Page 49
"But the path of the just Is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto
the perfect day. The way of the wicked is as darkness; they know not at what
they stumble." Pro. 4:18,19.
"My son, attend to my words; Incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not
depart from thine eyes; keep them In the midst of thine heart For they are life
unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. Keep thy heart with all
diligence; for out of it are Issues of life. Put away from thee a froward mouth, and
perverse lips put far from thee. Let thine eyelids look straight before thee. Ponder
the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established. Turn not to the right hand
nor to the left; remove thy foot from evil." Pro. 4:20-27.
AN EXAMPLE ENTREATY OR PETITION
I BIND this word of God to: (name of person)
Let this WORD, " (scripture passage) ", be sent out and BOUND to - (name of
person)
I, therefore, BIND then as a sign upon your hand, a bracelet fastened to your
wrist. I BIND them around your neck as a necklace. I PUT them upon thee. I
WRITE them upon the tables of your heart. I GIVE you these "Specific WORDS".
I LAY them upon you. I COMMAND you to hear and keep them. I BIND them
upon your fingers as rings. (Proverbs 7:3) I TEACH them to you.
You must speak and recite them when you sit in your house, when you lie down
or rise up. (Deut. 11:19)
They cannot leave you until their work has been finished.
"There shall no man be able to stand before you: for the Lord your God shall lay
the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as
he hath said unto you." Deut 11:25.

A Spirit of Lethargy
"For on you has Yahweh poured a SPIRIT of LETHARGY, He has closed your
eyes, He has veiled your heads"- Isa. 29:10 Jerusalem Bible

Poverty, Pro. 6:11; 13:4; 20:4 Catatonia
Extreme withdrawal
PROFILE ON THE "SLUGGARD"
A person who has a SPIRIT of LETHARGY was known In the Bible days as a
SLUGGARD. The following describes
Page 51
Page 52
state near to that of hibernation. The person may stare blankly with no
expression for days on end. Or sit in the same uncomfortable position for hours.
This SPIRIT alienates, breaks down communication, causes hostility and
delinquency in children by a breakdown of norms or standards. Also, I believe
that smoking marihuana will open the door for the SPIRIT of LETHARGY to enter
in.
We must move quickly to minister to and forgive and comfort a person who has
the SPIRIT of LETHARGY lest he become "swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.
(Melancholia) Sufficient to such a man is this punishment." We do not need to
punish him further.
"Wherefore I beseech you that ye would CONFIRM YOUR LOVE toward him."
"To whom ye FORGIVE any thing, I FORGIVE, also; for I forgave any thing, to
whom I forgave It, for your sakes, forgave I it in the person of Christ;"
"Lest Satan should get an advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his
devices'-I I Cor. 2:8,10,11.
TO LIFT A CURSE that God puts on, we must do it the same way Jesus did. We
must forgive the sin.
"Whosoever SINS YOU FORGIVE, I WILL FORGIVE, ALSO." Jn. 20:23 (Matt.
9:5, II Cor. 2:7-11.)
1. FORGIVE the person of any sins he or his ancestors have sinned that caused
the curse to come.
2. BIND the SPIRIT of LETHARGY, cast him out. People who are bound by the
SPIRIT of LETHARGY are powerless to free themselves. Therefore, it is
necessary that an external force minister deliverance to them such as a Believer
that understands the correct way to lift curses put upon someone by Yahweh
God.
Page 53
THE SINS THAT WARRANT THE CURSE ARE:
To "TOUCH" God's anointed. To "FLOUT" His laws.
To "REFUSE TO LISTEN" to His voice.
Therefore, causing God to speak through a deed instead of a Word, that deed
being to send the SPIRIT of LETHARGY. Here, God makes his presence felt by
other than Spiritual means. (The Interpreter's Bible. Pgs. 324,325.)
3. SPEAK destruction upon his goods or fruit.
4. ADMINISTER or BIND a counteracting "WORD" to the person.

We should send forth a SPIRIT of:
LOVE POWER SOUND MIND to go and minister to them.

"Are they not all MINISTERING SPIRITS sent forth to minister for them who shall
be HEIRS of SALVATION?" Heb. 1:14.
HOW TO PRAY
Scriptures that could be BOUND to the "SLUGGARD" as we entreat or intercede
for them in the prayers of deliverance:
SAY to the SLUGGARD: (By entreaty prayer)

sleep?" Pro. 6:9.
"Why sit ye here until ye die?"-II Kings 7:3.
"I SAY unto you: Arise, take up thy bed and walk!"-Matt 9:8.
1 ENTREAT you, "Be ye not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and
patience Inherit the Promises."-Heb. 6:12.
1 ENTREAT you, "Be ye not slothful In business; but fervent in spirit; serving the

Unclean Spirit
Page 61
SYMBOLIC OF:
Rejection. Matt. 26:67. Contempt. Num. 12:14. The grossest of insults. An effort
by the UNCLEAN SPIRIT to defile a person Lev. 15:8.
Denoting disrespect (Ungers Bible Dictionary, pg. 1043; Col. 2)
They don't like to be alone. They invite crowds of others to occupy a body with
them. Luke 4:34; Mark 5:9; Matt. 12:45; and Mark 1:24. The more spirits
occupying the body, worsens the state of the victim. Luke 11:26.
UNCLEAN SPIRITS like foul, odious, offensive, reeking, and destructive
conditions to dwell in, and noxious odors to sniff. (Foul means noxious, odious-
Webster s Dict.)
UNCLEAN SPIRITS may compel a victim to sniff such harmful things as:
Gas Glue Fumes Vapors Body Odors Incense, an abomination to God Aramatic
smoke
Sulphurous fumes (Volcanos or sulphurous boiling springs) is a habitation of
UNCLEAN SPIRITSRev. 18:2
Decaying flesh Dead bodies Cancerous odors Gangrene Staph infections
UNCLEAN SPIRITS are uncomfortable living in clean bodies. homes, and
situations. A person who has an LINCLEAN SPIRIT dwelling in him may be
compelled by their own human spirit to clean themselves by taking several
showers or constantly washing their hands. They may like to scrub floors. wash
clothes. etc.. subconsciously compensating for the UNCLEAN SPIRITS' appetite
for UNCLEAN THINGS. Matt. 12:44,45.
Page 62
"When the UNCLEAN SPIRIT IS GONE OUT OF A MAN, he walketh through dry
places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
Then HE SAITH, I will RETURN Into MY HOUSE from whence I came out, and
when he Is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.
Then goeth he and taketh with himself SEVEN OTHER SPIRITS more wicked
than himself, and they enter In and dwell there, and the last state of that man Is
worse than the first. Even so shall It be also unto this wicked generation.'-Matt
12:43,44,45.
The BODY of CHRIST has made a COSTLY MISTAKE in misinterpreting
Matthew 12:43,44,45. The mistake was falsely assuming that this UNCLEAN
SPIRIT was BOUND and CAST out of person by a Believed
Nowhere in the text does it indicate that he had been CAST out But it is VERY
CLEAR HE WENT OUT OF HIS HOUSE OF HIS OWN ACCORD! They may
come and go at will unless tested, resisted. and CAST out.
Do you realize how Important this fact is in the ministry of deliverance?
The correct interpretation means that should a Believer BIND and CAST out ANY
SPIRIT, that particular spirit would NEVER be able to OPERATE AGAIN!
If a SPIRIT, who was properly BOUND and CAST out, could go out and get
seven more SPIRITS and bring them in, the person would be seven times worse
off. It would be far better not to have bothered him at alll It would be
Page 63
unwise to make him angry. It would also cause some of the WORD of GOD to be
nullified. Matt. 16:18;18:18; Mark6:7; 16:17.
Look at our text in Matthew 12:43 and let us learn something more about this.
When the UNCLEAN SPIRIT did go out of his own accord, he walked around
trying to find a comfortable place to rest and finding none very suitable, decided
to return to the person's body where he had been living.
Now ... the person who didn't like living in unclean surroundings had EMPTIED
his house of garbage, SWEPT it out, and DECORATED it nicely. Here we see the
conflicting taste of the two personalities quite clearly.
This person did not seek out the proper authority (The Believer) to CAST out the
unwanted evil UNCLEAN SPIRIT.
SO ... the UNCLEAN SPIRIT finds this clean dwelling very UNCOMFORTABLE
for HIS FOUL TASTE. He goes out and rounds up SEVEN other kinds (Not
UNCLEAN particularly, could be PERVERSE, DEAF and DUMB, etc.,
butdefinitey. more wicked than he). He wants many SPIRITS to help him dirty up
everything as soon as possible. The UNCLEAN SPIRIT does not like to live
alone.
So ... with all SEVEN of them working plus their entourage, the LAST STATE OF
THAT PERSON IS WORSE THAN THE FIRST.
The statement above is a WARNING showing that the victim needs help from
those who have the BINDING AND LOOSING KEYS.
A person unredeemed out of the hand of Satan should not attempt to CAST the
demon out, but he should call on a Believer.
JESUS DESCRIBES A BELIEVER:
"These signs shall follow them that BELIEVE. In MY NAME shall they CAST OUT
DEVILSI THEY SHALL SPEAK with NEW TONGUES"Mark 16:17.
Jesus teaches US to never enter into the Strongman's
Page 64
house to mess with his goods without FIRST-BINDING the STRONGMAN. Then
you can empty out the mess. sweep up after them, and decorate to suit yourself.
"Or also how can one enter Into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods
except he FIRST BIND the strong man and then he will spoil his house."Matt.
12:29.
"When a STRONG MAN armed keepeth his palace, his goods are In peace:"
The strong man here is the evil spirit.
"But when a STRONGER THAN HE shall come upon him, and overcome him, he
taketh from him all his armor wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils."-Luke
11:21,22.
The stronger man in this verse is Jesus and the Believer)
THE UNCLEAN SPIRIT CANNOT RETURN WITH SEVEN MORE WICKED
THAN HIMSELF IF CAST OUT BY A BELIEVER!
Satan has mightily used this very FALLACY to frighten some people from ever
seeking DELIVERANCE. They are afraid that they would not be strong enough to
keep their deliverance, causing their condition to become much worse. SEE
HOW THE DEVIL has managed to pervert our ideas about that Scripture to his
own advantage? Beloved. it is the other way around. If the SPIRIT is NOT
BOUND and CAST OUT, then he will come and go as he desires inviting others
to dwell with him! I have failed to pray deliverance for many people because of
the false Idea, BUT NOW, GOD HAS REVEALED THIS TRUTH. Jesus never
asked. "Are you saved? NO ... HE simply gave them a brand new start by
CLEANING HOUSE.
It is true that there are OTHER SPIRITS out there that would like very much to
replace the ousted SPI BITS. They would like to use the body as a dwelling. and
the members as instruments of unrighteousness.
They should be RESISTED. One can have much more
Page 65
resistance against the outside SPIRITS if they know this GREAT TRUTH!
RESISTANCE MAKES THEM FLEE!

Four Things We Must Abstain From
"But that we write unto them, that they ABSTAIN from pollutions of: IDOLS, and
from FORNICATION, and from THINGS STRANGLED, and from BLOOD." -Acts
15:20.
ABSTAIN FROM IDOLS
"Thou shall utterly HAVE nothing to do with them." "Thou shall utterly DETEST
It."
"Thou shall utterly ABHOR It." Deut. 7:25,26.
"Thou shall utterly FLEE from IDOLATRY." I Cor. 10:14
"LITTLE CHILDREN KEEP yourselves from idols." 1 John 5:21.
WHAT ARE IDOLS?
IDOLS ARE objects of worship. IDOLS ARE false gods. IDOLS ARE heathen
deity. IDOLS ARE the object of strong affection or devotion. -Websters Dict.
AN IDOL IS AN IMAGE
An imitation of a person or animal molded, cast or carved in the solid form or
likeness, an effigy, statue or as
Page 69
Page 70
Page 71
Deut. 29:20.
PUPPETS ARE AN ANIMATED, TALKING IMAGE. God created the Word to be
preached through people whom He created.
Not ... Through IMAGES of PEOPLE whom man created, to be animated and to
talk.
Isn't this the way the people that dwell upon the earth will be deceived by the
beast?
"And he had power to give LIFE unto the IMAGE OF THE BEAST, that the
IMAGE of the BEAST should BOTH SPEAK and cause that as many as would
not worship the IMAGE OF THE BEAST should be killed. Rev. 13:15."
It is my understanding that a FAMILIAR SPIRIT may not be involved until the
MASTERY of the Ancient Art of Magic, "THROWING THE VOICE," is
accomplished, thus giving the gift of divining by the FAMILIAR SPIRIT. They are
then aided and energized by the FAMILIAR SPIRIT. The PRACTITIONER of
SORCERY may not be aware of all the benefits of this evil SPIRIT such as
foretelling, etc.
NONETHELESS ... They have submitted themselves to be a MEDIUM of the
SPIRIT. (For further study see my books HOW TO TRY A SPIRIT, page 21, and
HOW TO CONDUCT SPIRITUAL WARFARE, page 68.)
WOE TO IDOLATORS
"What profiteth the graven IMAGE that the maker thereof hath graven It, the
molten IMAGE, and a TEACHER OF LIES, that the MAKER of his work trusteth
therein, TO MAKE DUMB IDOLS?
"WOE UNTO HIM THAT SAITH TO THE WOOD, AWAKE, TO THE DUMB
STONE, ARISE, IT SHALL TEACHI Behold, It is laid over with gold and silver,
and there is NO BREATH at all In the midst of IL" -Hab. 2:18,18.
Page 72
Page 73
1 WILL RECEIVE YOU and WILL BE A FATHER UNTO YOU, and YE SHALL BE
MY SONS and DAUGHTERS, salth the Lord Almighty:'-1 Cor. 6:16-18.
"Now, therefore, If you will obey my voice indeed, and KEEP MY COVENANT
THEN YE shall be a PECULIAR TREASURE unto me above all people: for all the
earth is mine: And YE SHALL BE UNTO ME A KINGDOM OF PRIESTS, AND AN
HOLY NATION."-Ex. 19:5,6.
"LITTLE CHILDREN KEEP YOURSELVES FROM IDOLS!" -I John 5:21.
ABSTAIN FROM FORNICATION
SEX SINS DEFILE, CAUSING YOUR BODY TO BE UNCLEAN BEFORE GOD!
FORNICATION-Matt. 5:32;11 Cor.12:21; Acts 15:20.
HOMOSEXUALITY- Rom. 1:14,6:19; Gal. 5:19; Eph. 4:19, 5:3; Col. 3:5; II Peter
2:10.
LACIVIOUSNESS-Unbridled lust, wantoness. lewdness, sex obsessed with
insatiable desires. passions, nymphomanic, one who has an UNCLEAN SPIRIT.
(Eph. 4:19.)
FORNICATION is a sin. It is on the UNCLEAN list that we are not to touch, and
are commanded to separate ourselves in order for God to receive us.
"I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with FORNICATORS."-I Cor. 5:9.
We cannot always avoid keeping company with people in the world who commit
FORNICATION. BUT...
"You are not to keep company, If any man that is called a brother be a
FORNICATOR, or COVETEOUS, or an IDOLATER."
"With such an one, NO NOT TO EAT."-I Cor. 5:11

Deut. 24:1,3.
I n the case of FORNICATION or ADULTERY, the CLEAN partner would actually
become unequally yoked with an Unbeliever, DEFILING THE ENTIRE FAMILY,
THUS CREATING A FILTHY HABITATION FOR UNCLEAN SPIRITS, causing a
curse to be visited unto the third and fourth generation until the penalty is served
or lifted by repentance. Of course should the FORNICATOR repent and be
cleansed by the BLOOD shed for the remission of sins, then it is possible God
would reinstate the Holy or cleansed union.
ABSTAIN FROM THINGS STRANGLED
When animals are strangled the BLOOD remains in the bodies contrary to Gods
command in Leviticus 17:10-14. The slaughter houses of today still consider it
desirable to inject solutions that cause the BLOOD to remain in meat. This
makes the meat "Redder and Tastier."
ABSTAIN FROM BLOOD
WHY?
THE LIFE OF THE BEAST IS IN THE BLOOD. Gen. 9:4,6; Lev. 17:10-15; Deut.
12:23,24.
"It shall be a PERPETUAL STATUTE for your generations throughout all your
dwelling, THAT YE EAT NEITHER FAT NOR BLOOD."
-Lev. 3:17.
THIS IS A PERPETUAL-EVERLASTING, NEVER ENDING-COMMAND FROM
GOD.
"Thou shalt NOT EAT IT. That it will go well with thee. And with thy children after
thee."-Deut. 12:28.
Thereby indicating that INHERITED DISEASES AND TRAITS WOULD BE
PASSED TO FUTURE GENERATIONS.
"The SOUL THAT EATS IT WILL BE CUT OFF FROM THE LAND."-Lev. 7:27.
BLOOD may be removed from meat by soaking in salted water. Ali visible fat may
be removed also.

Example of an Unclean Spirit Possession
A lady who was separated from her husband for many years was possessed at
will by an evil spirit. This spirit talked to her. He tried to boss or guide her. She
claimed that he would overpower her and sexually abuse her as he pleased from
within her body. She was on the verge of insanity and had just about given up
hope, since she had sought help from all possible sources. We tried everything
we knew about deliverance, without lasting results.
There was a great warfare with the UNCLEAN SPIRIT. He claimed absolute
rights to possess her. We turned it over to God. having done all that we could.
Then I received DISCERNING OF SPIRITS on it. I clearly saw the entire situation
as it was. The separated mate who had never remarried was still exercising his
rights over her body through psychic power. He had an UNCLEAN SPIRIT. He
also did supernatural (divined) things by a Familiar Spirit. He, himself. was the
enemy or tormentor! The marriage was an unsanctioned union to begin with. Her
submission to him gave him power over her body. By fantasism, witchcraft, etc..
he was assaulting her.
After receiving this knowledge. we were able to BIND the Living Evil Spirit by
name, LOOSING her from domination by him, the UNCLEAN SPIRIT, and the
Familiar Spirit, who carried out the man's evil desire upon her. (For further study
see my book, HOW TO CONDUCT SPIRITUAL WARFARE, pgs.91-96.)
I believe where a living evil spirit is involved, such as a sorcerer, warlock. witch,
necromancer, etc., that the living spirit is always the Strongman; that unless he is
BOUND,
Page 77
he will call in other spirits to aid him, unless we BIND the spirits he is presently
using. Matt 12:29.
CASE TWO
A young man confessed a homosexual relationship while he was pastoring a
church. He was convicted in a service, and came forward for deliverance. He did
get a spectacular deliverance from the Perverse Spirit.
Later, he called and said that he was actually experiencing asexual attack while
asleep, and that he awakened with an UNCLEAN feeling.
At the time of his deliverance, I did not have the full revelation I have now on
UNCLEAN SPIRITS. I told him then about the control of the other human spirit
and to resist according to the direction in the prayer of release. By resisting the
evil spirit in the proper way, he could be f reed.
It is necessary to try the spirits by the fruit so we might know exactly who to bind.
The enemy or strongman who is directing the assault against us may not be
disembodied after all, but just the same is an evil spirit using Satanic aid.
As Jesus said we must first BIND the Strongman in each battle before we
attempt to destroy his goods. If we go into his house, begin to BIND his aids, his
army, and DESTROY his goods, he will only call in more help, reorganize, and
launch out again.
In the above case, there were three spirits to be bound: The Warlock. The
UNCLEAN, and The Perverse. Secondly, DESTRUCTION should be spoken
against all the fruit listed under the spirits name (See my book, HOW TO TRY A
SPIRIT). Thirdly, we should administer the necessary benefits of God upon them:
Salvation, Water Baptism, healing, love, joy, peace, etc., strengthening them as
needed.
The UNCLEAN SPIRIT strongman is in the singular, yet when he speaks, he
reveals there are others with him in the body. He says US and WE. However, the
scripture reveals that Jesus only commanded the one UNCLEAN SPIRIT to
come out of him, thus indicating that the
Page 78
UNI:LtAN JYlhl 1 alone possessea me nouse. ana cne guests he invited in must
leave when he leaves.
"And there was in their synagogue a man with an UNCLEAN SPIRIT, and H E
cried out, saying,' Let US alone; What have WE to do with thee, thou Jesus of
Nazareth, art thou come to destroy UST'
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Hold thy peace, -Mark 1:23,24.
"And when the UNCLEAN SPIRIT had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, He
came out of him." Mark 1:26.

Our Sea of Forgetfulness, or His?
"For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling the
UNCLEAN, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
How much more shall the BLOOD OF CHRIST, who through the eternal Spirit
offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to
serve the Living God?"-Heb. 9:13,14.
THE CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN THE BIBLE FOR REPENTANCE OF SINS
ARE:
1. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT 2. CONFESSION
3. REMISSION 4. DEPARTURE
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
We must acknowledge the act, face up to it, and admit that we committed it. For
some, it is very hard to admit guilt.
Some sins that we have committed in our past are so detestable to us that we
have buried them in some dark region of our minds. We deliberately refuse to
pull them out and confess them to Jesus, Our High Priest. We continually ignore
them by putting them into our own Sea of Forgetfulness.
Page 80
Psychologists are aware of this tact. Sometimes It takes them years tog et their
patients to face up to these things in their past. Some prefer oblivion in an
institution, rather than having these things uncovered.
Jesus knows that if these hidden, buried sins are not dug up and confessed, they
can fester and become malignant UNCONFESSED SIN BECOMES DEADLY. It
is a known fact that spirits causing cancer and arthritis definitely root and flourish
in this fertile ground.
Sometimes we may seek to skim over such sins, confessing them in a lump
package, such as "Forgive me for all my sins." Then we wonder why our
channels to God still remain blocked.
I truly feel that before we can receive complete deliverance from all these spirits
that occupy and thrive in our bodies. we must bring each of these sins out into
the light. Jesus said. "That if we would be faithful to confess them, He would be
faithful to forgive them, and even though they be as scarlet, He would wash them
as white as snow." He will put them into His Sea of Forgetfulness and Remember
them against you NO MORE!
CONFESSION
The Bible says, "Let a man examine himself." "Judge yourself, face up to your
faults and sins, past and present."
GO BACK IN YOUR LIFE, dig up those unspeakable acts and pull them out.
Face them down-every last one of them. Examine them under God's Gospel
Light. CONFESS THEM HONESTLY TO GOD. Then REMIT them by transferring
them from your own Sea of Forgetfulness into God's Sea of Forgetfulness.
Then, DEPART and STOP SINNING. This is definitely the path to a pure heart,
whereby you may see God. This method will empty the couches of the
psychologist and the tables of the physicians. Most people, especially Christians.
mishandle their own wrong acts. They deliberately utilize a type of amnesia to
forget. The forgetfulness is so effective, that they refuse to face up to their past or
recent sins. This condition exists in many Christians. Some of them commit
Page 81
sins repeatedly, without seeming to notice, or ever come to any form of
repentance. They stumble on and on, oblivious to any wrong doing to the extent
that we wonder how they get by with it. The sad thing is that they don't.
There is only one way to go, and that is "TH E WAY" that was opened up for us
by Jesus into the Presence of God. If they don't go that way, they go their own
way, and it won't get them to the same place. A person who has an unconfessed
sin in his memory can never be sure that it will not suddenly be exposed in the
Light of God's Truth. Trivial incidents will arouse fears in the sleeping conscience.
Fears that "Some nothing," a chance word, the look on a face-a Word of
Knowledge may open the grave where the sin still lies. The old sin is then vividly
exposed as if done yesterday.
REMISSION
THE BLOOD IS SHED FOR THE REMISSION OF CONFESSED SIN! If one
doesn't acknowledge the sin and give it up. there is no BLOOD-COVENANT in
effect for those particular unconfessed sins.
Have you ever known of someone who confessed a sin such as fornication or
idolatry and then has gone ahead committing the same sin over and over again
as if that confession without remission were sufficient to cover all their future
sins? CONFESSION without REMISSION amounts only to ADMISSION. It does
not constitute OMISSION!
REMITTANCE is to transmit or to transfer our sin from us to the Lord-to hand it
over-to give it up-to stop it-to quit it. Now, some of us when we face up to these
sins and confess them are not willing to forgive ourselves. We think we may have
committed an unpardonable sin; therefore we refuse to REMIT it, and to accept
such grace!
Without these four acts: ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, CONFESSION, REMITTANCE,
and DEPARTURE on our part, Jesus is under no obligation to us.
Page 82
DEPARTURE
"DEPART YE. DEPART YE, go ye out from thence, TOUCH NO UNCLEAN
THING, go ye out of the midst of her, BE YE CLEAN, that bear the VESSELS of
the Lord."- Isa. 52:11.
-Let everyone that nameth the name of Christ DEPART from iniquities.
"GO and SIN NO MORE!"
"Wherefore COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM and BE YE SEPARATE, saith the
Lord, and TOUCH NOT THE UNCLEAN THING and I WILL RECEIVE YOU." II
Cor. 6:16,17.
I suggest that each of us begin this process of forgiveness and deliverance. Let
us submit ourselves to the Spirit of God that He may search out these hidden
sins and bring them into the light. As these works of darkness are exposed, write
your confession down, just what you are guilty of, ACKNOWLEDGE and
CONFESS it.
ASK Jesus to forgive you. FORGIVE all involved and yourself. MAKE restitution
where possible. MEND broken relationships where possible; perhaps a note or a
phone call will do if you cannot go to them.
THEN
BI NO and CAST out any evil spirits that may be there, TRY them by their fruit.
CALL them by their proper name. SPEAK destruction to their fruit.
THEY WILL FLEE FROM YOU!

God's Solution for Complete Freedom
FIRST WE:
ACKNOWLEDGE CONFESS REPENT REMIT DEPART ... FROM UNCLEAN
SINS
The sins are cleansed by the BLOOD: That takes care of the sins, washing them
as "White as Snow."
What do we do about the UNCLEAN SPIRITS that came in because of the sins?
Another solution is provided for them: It is the Authority of the Believer that
makes spirits subject to them by the use of the two Keys of the Kingdom-
BINDING and LOOSING.
NOW . . . if our sins are cleansed by the BLOOD and the UNCLEAN SPIRITS
are BOUND and CAST OUT. WHAT IS LEFT? The defilement or uncleanliness
that the UNCLEAN SPIRITS produced: the Germs, the Filth, and the Mess! We
do our part with the dirt and germs by soap and water, disinfectant, and the use
of salve for the cuts, tears, and bruises.
In the examples given earlier in the book (Matt. 12:4345) we see that the man
with the UNCLEAN SPIRIT cleaned up his life. He emptied the trash, swept, and
garnished or decorated! He did the physical work of cleansing, but not the
repentance, nor the Binding and Loosing part, only to have the irate UNCLEAN
SPIRIT go out and bring seven more wicked than himself to help dirty it up again!
