THE STAGES OF DELIVERANCE:
A SPIRITUAL CHANGE MODE

What is bondage? Bondage is slavery or
involuntary servitude; serfdom. It is the state of
being bound by or subjected to some external
power or control.
It is the state of being bound; condition of being
under restraint; restraint of personal liberty by
compulsion; involuntary servitude; slavery; captivity.
How Does Bondage Related To Us?

The Bible says that:
“We are born in sin and shapen in iniquity.”
“By one man sin entered…”
“There is a war in our members…”
“The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is
eternal life.”
“Sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the
law.”
What Does This Mean?




The Enemy, by LEGAL right, has access to you and can bind you
as he sees fit, PRE-SALVATION!
However, POST-SALVATION, the Enemy no longer has LEGAL
right to INVOLUNTARILY bind you---He needs you to give him
PERMISSION.
PERMISSION is granted through what we Think, Say, and Do.
Once PERMISSION is granted, the Enemy’s LEGAL rights are
restored UNTIL access is DENIED.
What Does Bondage Look Like?




Bondage implies that there is an element of
CONTROL that characterizes what you are inclined
to Think, Say, and Do.
In other words, REGARDLESS to whether you like or
do not like what you are Thinking, Saying, or Doing,
it is OUT OF YOUR CONTROL to either continue or
stop!
This can better be described as ADDICTION
Sin is Addictive
ADDICTION



What is Addiction? It is the state of being enslaved
to a habit or practice or to something that is
psychologically or physically habit-forming to such
an extent that its cessation causes severe trauma.
It is the condition of being habitually or compulsively
occupied with or involved in something.
According to the DSM-IV-TR, it is alluded to as
Dependence, or a pattern of dependence that leads to
significant distress and is characterized by (2) main
components: Tolerance and Withdrawal
Tolerance & Withdrawal

1.
2.
Tolerance :
The longer you engage in the behavior, the less it
affects you.
You have to do more of it, in order to get the
same feeling as before.
Tolerance & Withdrawal Continued…

1.
2.
Withdrawal:
It is painful (physically, emotionally, and
psychologically) to give it up.
You are compelled to substitute it with another
addiction (a supposedly lesser one) in order to
avoid the pain of giving up the first one.

What Happened When You Got
Saved?




All bondage, sin, and addiction lead to death.
However, death, hell, and the grave were rendered
powerless in Jesus’ resurrection. “O death, where is
thy sting? O grave, where is the victory? Death is
swallowed up in Victory…”
So now, bondage, sin, and addiction have no power
of their own; ONLY the power you give it.
Once again, that power or AUTHORITY must come
from you through what you Think, Say, and Do.
So, where’s my Deliverance?

Deliverance is yours! Jesus already took care of
that!
It’s not about “getting deliverance”; it’s about
“Walking In Deliverance”.
“Walking In Deliverance” entails a change in:
Your Thinking (Mind)
Your Speech (Spirit)
Your Behavior (Body)
MIND





“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ
Jesus”
“As a man thinketh, so is he”
“And be ye transformed by the renewing of your
mind…”
“And whatsoever things are true,…think on these
things”
“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is
stayed on thee”
SPIRIT





“And God formed man from the dust of the ground
and breathed into his nostril the breath of life, and
man became a living soul”
“Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth
speaketh”
“Death and Life are in the power of the tongue”
“Call those things that be not as though they were”
“Take the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of
God”
Body





“ I beseech ye therefore brethren, by the mercies of
God, that ye present your bodies…”
“What? Know ye not that your body is the temple
of the Holyghost, which is in you, …and you are not
your own?”
“We are fearfully and wonderfully made”
“If thine right eye offend thee, pluck it out…”
“But I keep under my body…”

According to the work of Prochaska and Diclemente, the
transtheoretical model of change posits that there are six(6)
stages of change:
Precontemplation (I’m cool, I don’t need to change)
Contemplation (I need to reconsider) - Thought
Preparation (Let me set this up right) – Speech
Action (Let me put these tools to work) – Behavior
Maintenance (Self-inventory) – Referencing the Word
Relapse Prevention (Permanent Changes in People, Places,
and things + (Steps 2-5)) – New Lifestyle
Movement Through the Stages


Oftentimes, one finds him or herself in a stage in
which they are stuck.
For each stage, there is a strategy to move from
that stage to the next:
“I like/love what I’m doing” stage – You will move
when you are no longer getting anything out of it.
“I really need to re-consider---I’m tired of this”
stage – You will move when the pros for change
outweigh the cons against change.

“Let me make some changes if I’m gonna really do
this” stage – You will move when your concern is
not changing for others or to meet someone else’s
expectations of you, but now you realize you have
to do this for yourself.
“It’s On” stage – you will move once you realize
that it’s working, your quality of life is improving,
and that you have what it takes to see change
happen for you.

6.
“I’m gonna keep this up because I’m liking this” stage
– you will move when you realize you’ve been making
progress too long to let it all go to waste.
“I refuse to go back” stage – at this point you will do
anything to ensure your change. People will
acknowledge that you have changed and what bound
you before begins to have little to no pull on you
anymore. Staying changed by any means necessary
becomes your message to others.
Most Important






We Need God
Only God can bring about Change
However, we are also partly responsible for our
change.
“After that the Holyghost has come upon you, ye
shall have power…”
God is not going to do it all!
If you make one step, He’ll make two!
People, Places, and Things





There is nothing wrong with people, places, and/or
things.
HOWEVER, the “WRONG” people, places, and/or
things will lead to destruction!
(1) Sick person + (1) or more sick persons = a sick
situation
“ (2) dead batteries cannot jump start a car”
“Come out from among them and be ye separated
saith the Lord…”
What do you need Deliverance From?

Whatever it is, today is your day!
This is your year!
It starts with the right mindset and attitude
God can deliver from ANYTHING!
YOU MUST:
Cut some people off (friend, family, or foe)
Stay away from some places (all 5 senses)
Give up some things (possessions and items)
Initial Prayer of Deliverance

Lord, I am in need of your strength and power. I
acknowledge that I have allowed something in my life that
keeps me in the state of defeat. Right now, Lord, I renounce
______________________________ and it’s right to be in
my life. Lord, I’m asking you to wash me in and cover me
with your precious blood, as I shut the door of access to
these bondages in my life. I renounce Satan and declare
that I do not desire the things of Satan in my life. Lord, help
me to change my thoughts, speech, and behaviors to reflect
my claim on deliverance. Help me to walk in deliverance
and teach me to be diligent to stay in and move forward in
the process. I love you Lord and thank you Lord. IN JESUS’
NAME, Amen.
Once You Are Walking In Deliverance






Stay in connection with God through prayer, praise, and
worship
Stay around folk who are delivered or striving be
delivered
Stay away from negativity
Stay away from people who do not have their own
motivation to be delivered---they will drain you!
Come to church regardless!
Be open to the Constructive Criticism of those who are
delivered---It’s about accountability; not being
judgmental!
