WALKING IT OUT
Inner Healing & Deliverance is more than a type of ministry we receive from, it is principles we can live by and walk out in our daily lives. Our goal with Inner Healing & Deliverance is not only to get you set free, but to equip you to maintain that freedom.
It is part of the mercy of God that He does not deal with all of our issues at one time, but rather step by step when we are ready. Before going through deliverance it can be overwhelming and difficult to know where to begin. Our goal in Inner Healing & Deliverance sessions is to get rid of enough of the baggage and burdens so that you are empowered to continue the journey yourself. However, if you ever need us we are always here. When done from a heart of love, more healing & deliverance is never a bad thing.
With this in mind, this page is designed to be a follow up to Inner Healing & Deliverance recipients. Below we include some common tips and strategies as well as resources to help you walk out and maintain your freedom, but ultimately it is up to you, the recipient to put your freedom into action.
Walking in freedom is wonderful and empowering, however, because of that the enemy will do everything in his power to encourage you to reject it and he will give you every opportunity to take back your bondage. The freedom of Jesus is greater. Resist him and he will flee, but you will need to resist.

HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR VICTORY AND REMAIN FREE
Confess the general areas in which you have received freedom positively and gratefully in Prayer. Don't allow one negative thought germinating space. (Romans 10:9-10)
Expect continuous and increasing freedom where Satan has previously bound you or used you. Move forward by faith without even a glance over your shoulder at what is now past. (Phil 3:13-14)
The power of demonic influence is now broken but the devil will present new opportunities to sin, especially in the areas where you have had strongholds and in the past have given in to your flesh. Temptations frequently occur right after the victory of deliverance. Temptation, however, will come from the “outside”, rather than the “inside”. This form of temptation has much less power, and you will be able to resist, if you will/want to resist. You will have to keep the doors shut to the old fleshly ways. The Holy Spirit will provide all of the grace and power necessary if you will call on the Lord.
The active warfare will likely continue until the demons assigned by satan become convinced that you are indeed firm in your resolve. The stronger you set your will, the sooner the battle will be over.
You will need to daily take the offense and bind any and all demons that are assigned to tempt you back into the old ways, in order to render them inactive.
Move into active mode and give no place to the enemy by guarding your mind, mouth and activities. Make the necessary changes that need to be made in your lifestyle and/or friends, in order to keep your deliverance.
Quickly repent if you fall into sin. Do self-deliverance to cast out demons in the future as needed.
Be in the Word daily, pray and commune with God. It is only those who do the will of God and whom Jesus “knows” that shall enter the Kingdom of God. (Matt 7:21-23)
Praise God for your victory. Also in times of temptation, praise God as a way of defeating the enemy.
Beware of thinking you can make it alone. God never intended you do it alone. Stay in a place where you are accountable, where you can receive prayer support and encouragement. It may also be helpful for you to have a one-on-one relationship for accountability with someone other than yourself. (John 15:5;Hebrews 13:5)
