Becoming a Vessel of Honor

1. God's Covenant and Protection are Real

The Lord directly promised her the lives of everyone coming under her care or working with her in the ministry.

Divine faithfulness. The author recounts a harrowing experience on December 21, 1988, a high day for Satanists, when she and her companions faced a direct assault. Despite shadowy figures, armed men, and a planned sacrifice, God's covenant to protect them was tested and proven true. Angels intervened, throwing attackers off the roof and dragging them from the property, demonstrating God's active involvement in spiritual warfare.

Miraculous intervention. This event, and others like it, serve as powerful reminders that God is a miracle-working God who still lives and works today. The author emphasizes that their survival was solely due to His direct protection and guidance. Such experiences underscore the reality of God's power warring against Satan on behalf of His servants, frustrating even the best-laid plans of the enemy.

Trust in promises. The narrative highlights the importance of standing on God's promises, even when faced with overwhelming fear and danger. The covenant of protection, once established, provides a haven against demonic forces, reinforcing the belief that God never goes back on His word. This foundation of trust is essential for anyone engaged in spiritual battles.

2. Demonic "Doorways" Invite Spiritual Attack

No wonder we couldn’t keep the house sealed, every time Annie went out and then back into the house she broke the seal by taking demons into the house with her.

Legal ground for demons. The author describes "push-pins" or "curse-pins"—tiny metal inserts under the skin, often with attached demons—used by Satanists for tracking and destruction. These pins, along with other "inserts" like crystals or dental chips, act as demonic homing devices and "time bombs," allowing Satanists to locate and afflict individuals. Their presence creates "legal ground" or "doorways" for demons to enter and wreak havoc.

Breaking the seal. The story of Annie, a former Satanist, illustrates how unknowingly carrying these inserts can break spiritual seals of protection on a home, allowing intense demonic attacks. The author learned that demons associated with these pins would "rise up to try to kill the person physically" if they left the craft. This highlights the critical need to identify and remove such physical and spiritual anchors.

Divine removal. Since doctors cannot address these demonic inserts, the author turned to God, asking Him to "burn them out, vaporize them, or whatever is necessary." Through prayer and anointing with oil, the pins were supernaturally removed, demonstrating God's power to break even the most insidious demonic controls. This process underscores that complete deliverance requires addressing all known "doorways."

3. The Armor of God is a Tangible Defense

Even though we do not see the armor of God, it is real armor in the spirit world.

Spiritual reality, physical impact. The author recounts Joyce's terrifying encounter with Sedona, a powerful Satanist, who attempted to abduct and sacrifice her. Joyce's initial fear and defensive posture allowed Sedona to inflict a "curse-pin." However, a dream from the Lord revealed the practical application of the Armor of God (Ephesians 6), showing Joyce how to use it aggressively.

Active engagement. The author emphasizes that merely rebuking demons is sometimes insufficient; aggressive offensive action is required. Joyce's subsequent encounter with a Satanist, where she physically pushed him against a wall without touching him by holding up her arm in faith, demonstrated the tangible power of the "shield of faith." This armor, though unseen by humans, is visible and formidable to demons and Satanists.

Faith in action. The author shares other instances, including her own, where the "sword of the Lord" or the "shield of faith" were used to repel physical attacks from Satanists. These accounts reinforce that God's armor is not merely symbolic but a real spiritual defense that can manifest in the physical realm when activated by faith. It empowers believers to stand strong against direct confrontations.

4. Discern the Holy Spirit from Demonic Guides

Most of these errors could be avoided if Christians had a good basic understanding of how scripture describes the functions of the Holy Spirit in our lives.

Distinguishing true guidance. Many Christians, especially those new to faith or coming from occult backgrounds, mistakenly accept demon spirit guides as the Holy Spirit. The author provides a crucial comparison to help discern between the two, emphasizing that the Holy Spirit operates fundamentally differently from demons.

Key distinctions:

• Control: Holy Spirit values individuality and wants us in control; demons seek total control and usurp personality.
• Nature: Holy Spirit is gentle, holy, and brings purity; demons are harsh, corrupt, and lead to sin.
• Mind: Holy Spirit never blanks the mind, encourages active cooperation; demons thrive on mental passivity and blanking.
• Glory: Holy Spirit glorifies Jesus, brings humility; demons glorify the person, fostering pride.
• Power: Holy Spirit cannot be controlled, works as He pleases; demons dupe people into thinking they can control them, love rituals.

Avoiding deception. Understanding these differences is vital for Christians to avoid deception and maintain a pure relationship with God. The author warns that accepting demonic counterfeits, such as false tongues or "words of knowledge" from divination, can lead believers deeper into sin and away from God's true power.

5. Confront Your Sin Nature for True Freedom

We cannot blame all of our sins on Satan or the demons. We are fully responsible before God to control ourselves and stop sinning.

Inherent fallenness. The author asserts that "sin nature" is an inherent part of humanity, inherited from Adam, affecting our body, soul, and spirit. This "old man" or "flesh" creates a continual desire to sin, even when the mind desires to obey God. Recognizing this internal struggle is the first step toward victory.

Personal responsibility. While demons tempt, the ultimate decision to sin rests with the individual. The book stresses that Christians are fully responsible for their actions and must actively battle against their natural sinful desires. This involves:

• Obedience: God demands obedience, not just belief.
• Discipline: Taking every thought captive (2 Corinthians 10:5).
• Forgiveness: Releasing past hurts and refusing self-pity.
• Maturity: Doing the right thing simply because it is right (James 4:17).

Power for victory. Victory over sin comes from two sources: saturating one's mind with God's Word and the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit. The more one focuses on God's Word and actively seeks to obey, the more the Holy Spirit can work to overcome the sin nature. This process requires time, persistence, and a willingness to endure the "painful learning process."

6. Purge God's Temple: Christians Can Have Demons

If any man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.

Defilement is possible. The author directly addresses the controversial question of whether Christians can harbor demons, concluding that Scripture clearly indicates they can. Drawing parallels from the Old Testament defilement of Solomon's Temple, where demons and God's presence coexisted, the author argues that believers, as the temple of the Holy Spirit, can also be defiled.

Temple-defiling sins. "Doorways" for demonic entry are categorized into three "temple-defiling sins":

• Inheritance: Demonic strongholds passed down through family lines.
• Sexual sins: Any sexual activity outside of God's design, including molestation, bestiality, and pornography.
• Involvement in the occult: Any contact with witchcraft, divination, or spiritism.

Consequences of defilement. The book warns that allowing defilement to persist can lead to destruction, not necessarily loss of salvation, but loss of rewards and physical harm. Paul's exhortation to "cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit" (2 Corinthians 7:1) underscores the Christian's responsibility to actively purge these defilements to become a "vessel unto honor."

7. The Spirit World is Real and Pervasive

The average Christian has NO idea of what occultism is all about! This is why so many Christians are falling into Satan’s traps. Through ignorance!

Ignorance is dangerous. The author laments the widespread disbelief among modern Christians regarding the reality of the spirit realm, Satan, and his kingdom. This ignorance, she argues, leaves believers vulnerable to occultic practices that are increasingly rampant, even within Christian churches. Understanding occultism is crucial for self-cleansing and avoiding its traps.

Human spirit connection. Humans, created in God's image with body, soul, and spirit, can connect with the spirit realm through their spirit. Occultists actively seek to control their spirits to gain power and contact with spirits, often through:

• Drugs: Mind-altering substances that open spiritual perception.
• Meditation/Trance States: Blanking the mind to allow demonic control.
• Visualization/Guided Imagery: Techniques to gain contact with the spirit world.

Defining terms. The author stresses the importance of defining "New Age" terms, as they often mask occultic practices. Words like "energy," "vibrations," "counselor," or "higher state of consciousness" are frequently euphemisms for demon spirits or contact with the spirit world. True spiritual power comes only from God, not from human control of "impersonal energies."

8. Deliverance Demands Repentance and Faith

You CANNOT deliver someone who is continuing in active sin, or who doesn’t want to be delivered.

Foundation of repentance. Deliverance is not a magical process but a faith-based act rooted in genuine repentance. The author emphasizes that true repentance—turning from sin and dedicating oneself to amending one's life—is the only basis for successful deliverance. Without it, demons retain "legal ground" and will not leave.

Four simple steps:

1. Define Doorways: Identify all "temple-defiling sins" (inheritance, sexual sins, occult involvement) from birth to present, writing them down methodically.
2. Repent & Confess: Humbly confess these sins to God, asking for forgiveness and cleansing, thereby removing legal ground for demons.
3. Command Demons to Leave: In the name of Jesus, command demons associated with those specific sins to depart forever, relying on faith, not physical manifestations.
4. Stop Sinning & Saturate with God's Word: Commit to obedience and actively fill the mind with Scripture to prevent demons from returning.

Faith over manifestation. The author strongly advises against speaking with demons or allowing physical manifestations during deliverance, as this can lead to the sin of "mediumship" or "consulting familiar spirits." Instead, deliverance should be a step of faith, trusting that God's Word is true and demons must leave when their legal ground is removed through repentance.

9. Vigilance is Key to Post-Deliverance Freedom

The battle to stay clear after deliverance is always seven times worse than it was to get clear in the first place.

Ongoing warfare. Deliverance is not a one-time event but the beginning of a continuous battle to maintain freedom. The author warns that demons, once cast out, will attempt to return with seven others stronger than themselves, making the post-deliverance period intensely challenging. This "reaping period" requires unwavering vigilance and consistent spiritual discipline.

Common post-deliverance challenges:

• Fear of return: Demons can cause the same physical symptoms from the outside, leading to fear that they've re-entered. Faith is crucial to resist this deception.
• Emotional demands: A desire for emotional "highs" or rewards, rather than walking by faith, can open doors to new deceptions.
• Passive mind: A tendency to "blank out" the mind, especially for those from occult backgrounds, creates immediate doorways for demons.
• Demonic harassment: Physical torment, nightmares, and persistent negative thoughts are common and must be rebuked consistently.
• Discipline of sin nature: Overcoming ingrained sinful habits requires sustained effort and obedience.

Sustained effort. Maintaining freedom requires active engagement: immediately confessing any new "temple-defiling sins," consistently rebuking demonic thoughts and physical torment, and diligently saturating one's life with God's Word. The author emphasizes that true believers are also obeyers, and submission to God is essential to resist the devil effectively.

10. Satanism: A Path of Rebellion and False Power

REBELLION is at the core of the lives of EVERY person involved in Satanism.

Core of deception. Satanism, in all its forms (covens, Asian religions, cults), is fundamentally about gaining power through rebellion against God. The author highlights that every person involved, regardless of their background or abuse, possesses a "hard core of rebellion." This rebellion, often manifesting as passivity, is deeply offensive to God.

Satan's cruel mastership. Satan is portrayed as a cruel master who demands pain, suffering, and sacrifices, never shedding his own blood for his servants. He deceives individuals with promises of power, leading them into horrific acts like human sacrifice, torture, and child abuse. The author challenges Satanists to question why their master demands such atrocities.

The price of commitment. Helping individuals out of Satanism is a difficult ministry, requiring discernment, patience, and love. Many seek relief from torment rather than a genuine commitment to Jesus. The author stresses that true freedom comes only when a person is willing to make Jesus their "total Master" and pay the price of complete surrender, often driven by the realization that staying in Satanism will lead to death.

11. Jesus Offers Unconditional Love and True Deliverance

The Lord Jesus Christ, who is God Almighty, loves you even more than I do.

A God of love, not demands. In a direct appeal to those still in Satan's service, the author contrasts Satan's cruelty with Jesus' unconditional love. Unlike Satan, who demands blood sacrifices, Jesus, the true Creator God, sacrificed Himself for humanity, paying the full price for all sins. This act of ultimate love offers complete forgiveness and purification.

Freedom from bondage. The author testifies that escape from Satanism is possible through Jesus Christ, citing numerous living witnesses who have been delivered. Jesus is stronger than Satan, and His power can break any demonic chain, including the most powerful curses and contracts. This message offers hope to those trapped in a system of fear, lies, and endless demands.

A new Master. Turning to Jesus means choosing a Master who does not kill His servants for failure but offers grace, forgiveness, and eternal life. The author urges Satanists to stop and consider the truth: Satan is a liar and a created being, not the Creator. Jesus, the true God, offers a path of love, purity, and genuine freedom from the torment and destruction inherent in Satan's service.
