BUT THROUGH KNOWLEDGE

Pastor Marcos Marrero

3 Februarie 2006

The message opens in prayer, asking for “the sincere milk of the Word” and God’s strength in weakness. It teaches that truth brings freedom (Jn 8:32): believers are declared free, yet must walk out of bondage by gaining knowledge and wisdom (Prov 28:26; 11:9). Jesus warns that practiced sin enslaves (Jn 8:34); 1 Jn 1:8 admits we still sin, while 1 Jn 3:9 speaks of the reborn spirit that cannot sin. Reconciling these, 1 Thes 5:23 shows we are tri-part beings: spirit (already made alive), soul (being saved), and body (not perfected until resurrection; 1 Cor 15:50–57). The battleground is the soul—our “operating system”—which will be driven either by the Spirit’s wisdom (James 3; Jn 6:63) producing the fruit of the Spirit (Gal 5:22–23), or by worldly, sense-driven impulses producing the works of the flesh (Gal 5:19–21) that steal the joy of God’s kingdom within. The sermon addresses inherited iniquities across generations and offers a practical path: confess and forgive ancestral sins, sever old ties, and receive the Spirit’s breath to lead the soul (Jn 20:21–23; 1 Jn 1:9). Biblical examples (David and the showbread; Rahab) illustrate being led by the Spirit over legalism. The call to action: pursue truth, renew the soul, actively forgive, and live daily under the Spirit’s governance to experience ongoing deliverance and genuine freedom in Christ.

Objective:

Equip believers to understand biblical deliverance as a walk of freedom through truth—learning to discern spirit, soul, and body—so they can renew the soul, resist fleshly bondage, break generational patterns through forgiveness, and live led by the Holy Spirit.

sincere milk of the work, the word. And we ask for your anointing tonight, Father God, upon our ears, upon our eyes, uh the eyes of our understanding. I pray that you would open our ears that we may hear what the Holy Spirit is saying to us tonight as we partake of your word, that you will give us a heart not only to understand it, but to implement it. Father God, thank you, Lord Jesus, for your presence here tonight. Thank you for blessing Fred and Tony and thank you for blessing vision for Women Ministries, Father God. And thank you, dear Lord Jesus, for giving strength, Father God. Uh uh when we stumble and we get weak, Father God, and we get weary because of the fight, Father God. You come in strong. You show yourself strong to the weak, Father God. And I pray dear Lord Jesus that as we have gone through our times of weaknesses and and and uh and fights and struggles and battles that you are here tonight and that you are here strong on our behalf. Hallelujah in Jesus name. Amen. Praise God. God is strong. Hallelujah. Praise you Jesus.

I'm gonna be speaking about liberate.

I guess uh uh knowledge is deliverance or freedom uh to know and uh I want to get as much as I can in without rushing it. So I'm going to be um going by the scriptures kind of quick and if he can take notes, no problem. I'll give this to Fred and he can um uh and he can make up well actually he has copy of them already given copies of it but the first scripture is in John 8:32 and then we know this one Jesus says and you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. Now uh we have to understand that uh you can be declared free and not be free. You know we had the um uh the war the civil war to where you know the slaves were declared free but then if you were on a plantation and you didn't have nowhere to go technically you were not owned but you still had to pay now for rent and everything else. So you still didn't get anything. you work for free. Okay? So technically you were free but in reality you were not. Okay? And so we have to understand that that happens with us Christians too. We are free because Jesus has made us free. But if we're bound by the devil, we're still having to pay dues to the devil. I don't care what you call it. So Jesus says, "You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." Proverbs 28:26, it says, "He that walks in knowledge will be delivered." You know, I have it in Spanish and I'm translating. I better look it up real quick. Let's go to Proverbs 28:26. Make sure that I get it right. See, that's how I get in trouble in Spanish. I try to translate from English to Spanish. And then it's the uh the Bible according to my own translation. Uh and that doesn't work as you know. So, Proverbs 28:26 says, "He who trusts in his own heart is a fool, but whoever walks wisely will be delivered." Proverbs 28:26. It if you walk wisely, you will be delivered. Okay? The opposite of that is if we walk foolishly, we will be snare or bound. So, so the point I'm trying to make is with these three scriptures and one more that I'm going to read. The point that I'm trying to make is that even though once we have accepted Jesus Christ as our savior and lord, we are free, it requires for us to walk out of the prison. You know, you can take a bird that's been on his cage uh for a long long time and open the door and the bird is so used to being in there and having the food there that even if he flies away, he doesn't know what to do and he comes back and that in reality we were on the human nature so long that we come into the freedom of God. And the first thing he says, "Oh my god, but if I give television, if I keep boo if I give boo up, if I give my joints up, if I give this, if I give that, if I give all of the things, what's left, Lord, just stuff me up and put me on a wall someplace, you know? I mean, I don't have a life." That's the mentality that we get when we get saved because, you know, man, everything is is bad for you. You can't listen to oldies. You can't listen to raps. Okay, let's there's nothing that you can do. My god, you know, I mean, I'm dead. And that's the mentality that we have that brings us back to the old way of life. And the other scripture is in Proverbs 11:9. This is one of the scriptures that we use for for many years on the deliverance ministry. And uh it says uh he uh proverbs 11:19, the hypocrite with his mouth destroys his neighbor, but through knowledge through knowledge the righteous will be delivered. Through knowledge. So here you have Jesus says you will know the truth and the truth is going to make you free. He says that if you walk in uh in in in knowledge, you will be delivered. And then he says that the just, that's us, because we're just because Jesus made us just uh uh will be delivered by by by the truth. Um he says um but through knowledge the righteous will be delivered. Now, when he's talking about deliverance, many Christians, they have that religious spirit on them. Said, "Well, I've already been delivered. I've already been set free." Jesus paid for all of my sins. You know, I'm I'm as delivered as I'll ever going to be, you know. And this is basically what the Pharisees said to Jesus when Jesus came in and and was telling them that they're doing wrong things. We're not slaves to anybody. They were slave to the Romans, but oh no, we're not slaves. We're children of Abraham. We're not slaves. And how did Jesus answer to them? Look at John 8:34. Let's go to John 8:34 real quick. And this is what Jesus has to says about those who by inheritance, they have inherited the promises of God. And so they believe there are free. And Jesus said to them in John 8:34, "Most assuredly I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin." Uhoh. Do you know any Christians that have sinned lately? Well, we're free, but yet we're slaves to sin. And this is I guess the u the greatest tool that Satan has over all Christians that you know we are free. We have been set free. We have been purchased. We're hes of Abraham. We have the blessings of God upon our lives. But yet because of lack of knowledge. We do not have freedom. We do not have liberty. We do not have deliverance. We walk in sin. And when we walk in sins, we're a slave to sin. And who's the one that runs the sin market? Satan. So that means he can manipulate you, right? That means that you you get on high for the Lord. And Satan said, "I bet don't bother him now. He's in one of those uh Holy Ghost high, you know. I'll wait until he gets a little depressed. I'll wait until he gets a little down." You know, that's what it is for people that want to quit smoking. They go for 30 days, 40 days. They're doing real good. And then when the pressure gets in, you know, he throws, throws, and then, oh man, you got to have that nicotine. You know, you got to have it to to release the pressure. And so that's what he does. He sees you in a Holy Ghost high and then he waits his time. He said he'll come down from that mountain. He can't stay up there forever. And he waits until you come down. And man, when you come down, he's waiting for you. And he's waiting for you with a big hammer and he hits you with it. And boom, he says, "Oh, I got you again. Now you're a slave to sin again." So I want to deal in this first part with uh uh this issue. How do we know the truth so that we can walk in freedom? How can we walk in freedom so that we can be delivered? And and how can can can we understand uh the deliverance that God has for us? Okay, I want to throw you a curveball. Now, if you go to first John, this is one of the the uh what you may call it uh theological issues that I had to deal with in my own life when I got saved and I began to study the word of God. First John chapter 1, uh verse 8. First John is towards the end of the Bible. It's uh right after Peter. I think you got uh James, Peter, and John, the letters after Hebrews. So towards the end of the Bible. Okay. Now 1 John 1:8, let's read it. It says, "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive oursel and the truth is not in us." Uhoh. John 8:34 says that if you sin, you're a slave to sin. And first John 1:8 says that if we say that we do not sin, we're liars. So we're sinning. So that means that to whatever degree may be on each individual person, we are all having to deal with sin's manipulation over our life. You can't escape it. It's there. Okay. Now, let me throw another curveball at you. Go to First John 3 verse 9 since we're right there on that uh that beautiful chapter. 1 John 3:9. First John 3:9 says, "Whoever has been born of God does not sin." Uh oh, I missed that curve by mile. Whoever has been born of God does not sin. Uh oh, I don't think I'm being born again.

How many of us have not? Well, first John 1:8 just told us that if we say that we haven't sinned, we're lying. And now first John 3:8 3:9 says, "Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for his seed, God's seed, remains in him, and he cannot sin because he has been born of God." Now remember I read you three scriptures uh John 8:32, Proverbs 28:26, Proverbs 11:9 that says that it is true knowledge that the righteous it is delivered. It is through understanding that we get set free. So we need to understand what that verse is saying to us. If we do not understand what those verses are saying to us, then we can still walk in ignorance and in lack of knowledge. And when we're in lack of knowledge, we're not delivered. We're bound we're bound by ignorance. Um Hosea 6:4 I think it says uh uh my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Okay, lack of knowledge. What you don't know will hurt you. What you don't know will hurt you because that's the realm that Satan works on. So what is John or the Holy Spirit speaking through John about? Okay, in order to understand this, let's go to 1 Thessalonians 5:23 and then I'll explain it. I'll give you a fast poll that you can hit. 1 Thessalonians

5:23. 1 Thessalonians 5:23. And that's right before a few books before First John. 1 Thessalonians 5:23. Now may the God of peace himself whenever God introduces himself by a title he is telling you what he's dealing with. Did you know that most Christians do not have peace because of the fact that they know that they are being manipulated by Satan at certain times? Nothing grieves a Christian more than being all of the these are together. So, first Thessalonia is with Timothy where Timothy and Titus are which is right before Hebrews. But, uh, Christians get grieved when they know that Satan has a hold on them because you're trying to serve God. You're trying to worship God and you have that voice, that accuser in the ear telling you hypocrite. You were out there doing this today, doing that, and you're trying to come over here now serve God. you know, if you are an usher or if you're trying to play uh for the Lord or praying with somebody and we're having to deal with that. And so, if we do not understand this, we cannot be delivered because truth is what sets us free. Now, 1 Thessalonians 5:23, God says, "I am the God of peace, and I'm going to show you something that is going to give you peace." First Thessalonians towards the back of the Bible, right where you were, right by First John, just work towards the front of the Bible. You have Hebrews and then all of the TE's are there. Yeah. Okay. So, God is saying, "I am the God of peace and I'm going to show you something that is going to give you peace." 1 Thessalonians 5:23, it says, "May the God of peace himself sanctify you completely." Now I want you to underline that word you completely in in Spanish is really good. I got a neat revelation when I was starting that in Spanish is

the whole you, the real you, the complete you. And that's why God is said may the God of peace sanctify you completely, your whole you, not just part of you, your whole you. First Thessalonians 5:23, your whole you. And then he tells you what the whole you is. He says uh uh may may now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely the whole you and may your and then he says whole spirit soul and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. So what God is saying here is that we are made of three parts. We're made of three parts. We're made of spirit. We're made of soul and we're made of body. Now, the soul and the spirit are made of invisible stuff. You can't see the spirit. You cannot see the soul. Have you ever been next to a person that's dying? I kind of try to look to see if I see a smoke or a puff or something come out. Doesn't happen. You can't see it. The soul leaves the body. It's go. All you see is the breath stop, you know. the breast stop and that's it. You don't see the spirit coming out. The spirit is invisible. The same way with the soul. The soul is invisible. So then the only part that we see is onethird of us which is made of physical stuff. That's the body. And so we have a tendency to think that the body is the whole thing. You see? But no, we're two parts spirit, one part physical. Two parts invisible, one part visible. So God deals with the whole us, not just the one. So we have to understand that if I sin, God is going to look beyond the body to the other two parts to see what is causing that body to malfunction. If you have a car and the car is not running, you got to check the uh uh uh uh the gasoline. You got to check the oil. You got to check the battery. There's different. There's there's electricity is one part of it. The combustion system is another part of it, you know, and and your tires have to be on or the battery have to be on, you know. So, so God is the God that looks at the whole you. And if God sees your body breaking down and doing something, instead of God judging the body, he looks at the whole person to see where the problem is. Because you see, it is through knowledge or through understanding or through revelation that the righteous is delivered. The truth sets you free when you understand this. Now, I I got a whole bunch of scripture there, but for the sake of of just getting the point home and getting as much as a message as I can. Like I said, I got five pages. I want to tell you our physical body will not underline this will not be made perfect in the state that it is in right now. I don't care how much you pray. I don't care how much you fast. I don't care how much you exercise. You can eat fruits and nuts until you die. And you're going to die still. You're going to get old still. you're going to hurt still. This physical body became corrupt when Adam sinned. And this physical body, the only hope for the physical body is in u I I can give you the scripture if you want to take uh the notes is in 1 Corinthians 15 15- 57. It talks about the day that the body is going to be redeemed. 1 Corinthians 15:50-57. It says that the trumpet is going to blow because the trumpet will blow at the last time. And it says and every person to die who their bodies got all and die. You know, Moses was a man of faith and he died. Abraham was a man of great faith and he died. And the prophets, they were killed. They didn't get a chance to die on their own. Most of them were killed, but they died. See, we have to understand that our physical body, the the one-third part of who we are, will not be trans will not be redeemed until the day that it is transformed. In other words, if the trumpet, there's a trumpet that's going to sound and that trumpet is going to initiate the restoration of the physical body. That means that if I die and they put me in a wholesome place and 30 years later the trumpet blows signaling that Jesus is coming back that physical body which at the time would be nothing but dust is going to shoot up. All of the molecules the atoms are going to come back together and the spirit and the soul which are already with Christ are going to have a house to operate here on the earth with him. This is what's going to happen. So first of all my friend understand this that the physical body can only be controlled or brought under desemation of the spirit but cannot be made perfect. Cannot be made perfect. He's going to get tired. Jesus got tired. Jesus couldn't carry the cross. They had to get somebody to carry the cross for him. That physical body is going to fail. That's why the Bible says put no confidence in the flesh. Don't trust your physical body. Trust the spirit, you know, have a pair of handcuff and lock yourself up until throw the key out the window if you need to stay in for that night. And when somebody comes in the morning, tell them where the key is at downstairs, come pick up, set you free. Do whatever you can to control that physical thing. But the physical body cannot be redeemed until you're transformed by the coming of the Lord. But now, and that's what 1 Corinthians 15 says. So then you need to understand that two parts of you, your spirit and your soul are living in a house that is full of termites and cockroaches and rats, bad plumbing. All kinds of bad things are in the house that we're living on. So we're going to have to learn true knowledge is a righteous deliver. We're going to have to learn how to live in this house. Okay. Now, so when first John 1:8 says, "If you say you have no sin, you're lying is because in your physical body, you will always have the tendency to sin." Your physical body, as long as it's alive, as long as there's breath in that physical body, the tendency to sin will always be there. So, we need to know that. So when the Bible says, if you say that you're have no sin, you're lying. That's right. But what is he talking about? He's talking about the body. But now when the Bible says in 1 John 3:9 that he who is born of God does not sin, cannot sin and will never sin. Hallelujah. Is because God is referring to your spirit man. See, spirits don't die. We need to understand the physical body, the one-third of us has a beginning and has an end. You know that's how but spirits don't die. Spirits are eternal. So a dead spirit simply means a spirit that separated from God. So when Adam was created, God played around with mud. He he he started putting some m together and he formed you know God is pretty good with his hands you know he created everything the heavens are his handiwork. So if God can create all that beauty I mean he took man and he just fashion but it was nothing but a lump of clay but then the breath of God which is eternal spirit. God's always been always will be. God has no beginning no end. God, eternal spirit

blew into the the the nose. I I figured God maybe took his fingernail and and poke a little hole up in there in the nose, you know, and when he blew in through that, the man became a living soul, meaning the spirit of God gave life to the physical body. Well, when Adam, God said to Adam, if you do this that you're not supposed to do, you're going to die. Referring to his spirit. Satan comes in and says, "Oh, you will not die." Referring to the body. We need to understand that this is how Satan operates. Satan always uh approaches us in the physical uh way because he knows that's where we're weak at in the flesh. But God always begins with the spirit because that's what gives life. The spirit is what gives life. So when Satan said to oh no, you will not die. Adam took of the fruit and he still lived 930 years. His physical body did but his spirit became separated from God instantly. He lived in a garden of Eden with God and he was thrown out. Okay? So when Jesus and and and and catch this because this is important. God said we have to get rid of the man because if he reaches his hand now and takes of the tree of the fruit of life which is Jesus if he reaches his hand and takes of the tree of the fruit of life he's going to live forever but he will live forever in sin because you see the sin has to be taken out of him be before his spirit could be restored so God had to take him out of the garden deal with his sinful nature before he could bring the tree of life now Jesus comes in and he says, "This is my body. Take and eat. This is the cup, my blood. Drink it." Once we do that, I confess it. You cannot get saved without confessing that you're a sinner. Because you cannot get rid of the sin unless first you confess it. So you come to God and said, "I confess that I'm a sinner and and and accept Jesus sacrifice in your behalf." The breath of God blows again on you in the nostrils. The Holy Spirit comes. The Holy Spirit came to me June 3rd, 1976 when I went to the altar and and confessed that I was a sinner that night. The Holy Spirit came in and entered into me. And what he did is he made my spirit who was separated from God quote unquote dead. He wasn't dead because spirits live eternally. My spirit would have been in hell forever. Separated from God, he made my spirit alive in him. And even though my body hasn't been redeemed yet, and it might take thousands of years, it may be tomorrow, but whatever it takes, I can never die again. My spirit is connected with God cannot die and it cannot sin. And so when First John 3:9 says, "Whoever is born of God does not sin," let's read it. I'll show you why. And in Spanish, this was neat. I got the uh uh I got some neat revelation uh getting it's like getting a different translation. 1 John 3:9. Whoever has been born of God does not sin for his seed remains in him and he cannot sin because he has been born again speaking of our spirit men. But the word there his seed meaning God's seed in Spanish is [Music] and that comes from the semen from from the the male semen. In other words, in the physical body we have a semen that when planted into the woman brings life. It causes something to to to to be conceived and to be born. God saying of our spirit when my spirit comes into your spirit my semen or God's lifegiving power came into the spirit and if you read out it says and it remains whoever has been born of God does not sin because God's sin is in him and remains cannot be taken out Satan cannot cause the semen of God to be taken out out of your spirit because your spirit is either separated separated with God or or united with God. And sin cannot separate your spirit from the love of God. Read Romans 8. Uh uh uh Paul says, "I am fully persuaded that neither life nor death, nor principalities, nor power, nor angel, nor demon, nor things uh uh present, nor things to come can ever separate me from the love of God." That's where the why? Because the love of God has been shed abroad in my heart. That's where the spirit is. So knowledge begins with the fact that two out of three parts of us has already been dealt with. Our body is corrupt and our spirit has been made alive in Jesus. I am perfect in Jesus. I am seated at the right hand of the father. That's my address. Like uh Fred likes to say, that's my mailing address is in heaven. Satan sends me any hate mail, that's where it goes. The angels of God got to deal with that them bum letters and the things that he said. That's that's where they go. That's my address. That's my home address. So then now comes apart if my spirit is born again and it cannot sin and my body has been so polluted that has to be destroyed and it has to be uh uh renewed or made alive or uh how do we say transformed then the part of me that needs fixing like I said I can't do nothing about the body I can do nothing about the spirit then the part of me that needs fixing is the soul see the soul soul is our operating system. Our soul is our operating system. Like a computer, you can have the in the computer thousand gigabytes or whatever they call those things. You can have all of that knowledge and everything, but if you don't have a Windows program, it's not going to do you any good. Because if you don't speak that computer language to tell it what to do, you're not going to do nothing. But yeah, you get your Windows program, which is the operating system, and it has this little thing they call a mouth, and you just point and click, point and click, point and click, and the computer go, but all you're doing is pointing and clicking. That's how it is. Our our spirit is very complex, but the soul makes it easy. The soul is just a point and click. So then the soul is the one that needs to be saved. In other words, my spirit is already saved. My body will be saved when the trumpet uh uh comes, but my soul is being saved. That's the part of me that needs to be worked on. Now, let me see if I can find because I'm going so fast over here. Uh Luke 6:45, Jesus says, "The good man out of the treasure that is in his heart brings good thing." uh uh uh the the the evil man out of the treasure that is in his heart brings. And then he says out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaks. Okay. So whatever is in the soul, that's what's going to speak. And then uh okay, let me see. Um remember I'm translating as I'm reading this our Spanish. No. Okay. I'm looking for a scripture here. Okay, let's go to uh 1 Peter 1:9. 1 Peter 1:9. It's right there by where First John is at. Just go back a little bit. 1 Peter 1:9.

1 Peter 1:9 says, "Receiving the end of your faith, the salvation of your souls." receiving the end of your faith which is the salvation of your soul. First Peter 1:9. Now if the end of faith is getting your soul saved then the beginning is when the spirit got saved. So we need to understand that our spirit is already saved. Our body will be transformed when the trumpet blows but the soul is being saved right now. The script that I was trying to look that I couldn't find is working out your own salvation with trembling and fear. And uh I don't know what what scripture that was in I had it on on this one. Uh for those of you who are taking notes or uh Philippians Philippines Philippians 2:12, he says, "Work out your own salvation with trembling and fear." So the salvation is worked out in in in in there. Now I'm going to give you an illustration to help our physical mind understand how the soul the spirit interact in 1 Thessalonians 5:23 where God says your whole person he's praying that your whole being your whole person will be kept until the day of redemption your whole spirit your soul and your body. The word for spirit all through the New Testament which was written in Greek is numa. Numa that's like u uh the inner tubes that you put in bicycles, you put in cars and numa. That's where we get pneumatic, pneumatic tools, all of the things. And it means numa because in in both Hebrew and Greek the word spirit, breath, air are all interchangeable. If you say air in Greek, you might as well be saying spirit. If you say spirit, you might as well be saying air because air cannot be seen. And as I said, our soul and and and our spirits cannot be seen. So they call them air. So then the word numa pneumaticos in in the Greek is the word that says what our spirit is. And it means a blast of air. Like I take a balloon that has nothing in it. That blast of air, that's the word numa. And that is what God did when he got a hold of Adam's nostrils and he blew into his nostril. The spirit came into Adam. Now why is this important? Okay. The word for soul in the same where he said your whole spirit your soul. The word for soul is suket. This is where we get the word psyche. Psychology. Everything that has a p and a h before that comes from the word soul. You know psychology has to do with with the study of of the mind. you know, uh, uh, suket also means air, but not a blast of air, just air. And so when you look at it the way that the Greek presents it is our soul is like a tool that runs on air. Let's say a jackhammer. You got a nice jackhammer, you need a compressor. The jackhammer runs in air, but by itself it cannot run. So you get a compressor going, you hook to that jackhammer, and as the air begins to blow through the jackhammer, power comes in and it moves the tool. Our soul was designed or created by God to be motivated by spirits air. So my soul is driven by spirits. Why you think they call it inspiration? Spirits working inside. Inspiration. To be inspired, to be motivated. Okay. You want to be a a what do you call it? A Olympic person. And you got to have a lot of air motivating you in there to where when everybody quits, you keep going. You keep going. You are driven. The word self-esteem is soul air, soul power moving. So once we understand this, now we can get a better picture of what God is talking about when he's dealing with deliverance of oursel. Because here's the problem. when I was born up until when I was 29, my spirit man was separated from God because I wasn't born again. So my spirit was out of the picture. It was disengaged. It didn't have nothing to do with with my life. So what was it then that was motivating my soul? What was my inspiration? What was the force that was robbing my life before I got born again? Well, my senses,

the loss of the flesh, the loss of the eye, the pride of life. Those are the three main spirits that are in the world. The loss of the flesh. So, I was driven by fear. I was driven by love. I was driven by whatever thing you know, selfish love, but all kinds of things. Those are the things that drive us. And since those things are all in the world, James uh one of the scriptures I have is is James chapter three I think it was and it talks about how there's two different kinds of windows. Yeah. James 3:13-18. He says that there are those two kinds of wisdom. See because knowledge is equated with the spirit or the breath. So when God says it is true knowledge that the righteous is delivered, it's not the knowledge of the world. It's the knowledge that comes out of the mouth of God. John 6:63 Jesus says, "The words that I speak to you, they are spirit and they are life." So when the the the knowledge that comes from above like James 3 says comes in, it produces peace. It produces self-control. It produces good things on my body. You know what you put in your soul determine what your body walks on. That's what Galatians chapter 5 is all about. Tells you what the fruit of the flesh is and what the fruit of the spirit is. When the spirit of God is moving through your soul, there's love, joy, peace, longsuffering, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, self-control. The body says, "Oh, I want that." Shut up. You can't have it. The spirit is driving you. The spirit said, "That's not good for you." And so, the spirit is motivating the soul. on the soul like an athlete that is driven to accomplish something denies himself, denies the body the things that he wants because he has a goal. He's driven by something. Paul uses that when he's talking about how athletes uh uh uh work to to get a crown that phase he says we should be driven by that eternal crown that we're going to get. Okay. So now then there's uh also a wisdom in in in James 3 that is from the world. He says this wisdom is sensual. Not sexual sensual meanings that this wisdom manipulates the soul through the senses. What you see, what you hear, what you smell, what you taste, what you touch. And that is Satan's realm because he is the prince of the power of the air. The spirits that run the world are all geared up to the senses. Sit on the TV and watch for 20 minutes and tell me how much stuff you're going to see there in those 20 minutes that are going to tempt your senses. They're all gear up to your senses to manipulate your senses. Every time I fasted, I see commercials about steaks and barbecues and and it looks so good. I could go to the TV and take a bite of it. You know, it is like that. It's all manipulated to do that. So then deliverance or the knowledge that brings deliverance is having to understand what spirit is driving me? What spirit is driving my soul? Well, Jesus says, "By the fruit you will know them." You know, you can uh let me take a drink of water here. You can uh uh

hang around with the person that you just met and you hang around with them for let's say 30 minutes, an hour. And within that period of time, you're going to know exactly what drives that person. Whether a person is driven by money, whether the person is driven by pride, whether a person is driven by family, whether the person is driven by whatever is driven, it comes out so quick. It is known because you know is is is what we're breathing is what we're moving on. deliverance. The knowledge that does deliverance is given to us by God for the purpose of identifying what spirits are driving me or motivating me and why are they there? You know, deliverance is is is simple is what is it? Because uh if you go to Galatians and and I'm trying to to to get the whole th
