★ MY SERMON NOTES
@ RESCUE TEAM
Hwolshe, Gigiring - Jos
Plateau State, Nigeria
7th October, 1999
* Topic: The Spirit to Rescue
* Speaker: Bro. Joel Bibot
☆ Three (3) Types of Spirits:
1. The Spirit of God
→ This Spirit is Omnipresent, omnipotent, etc.
2. The Spirit Beings (angels and demons)
→ Each of them keeps to his domain and operates there
3. The human Spirit
→ The spirit of man cannot do anything unless he is under the control of the Spirit of God or the devil
* To 'rescue' is to deliver someone from a particular force that is above him
* For you to set someone free, you have to be above that particular force that is keeping that person in bondage
* The spirit to rescue is the motivator, the zeal, the power to move and set someone free
* Souls are being captured by the devil and they need to be set free
* Those who are free from the control of Satan have the mandate to set the captives free
* Most of the souls (in bondage) do not have any knowledge that they are in bondage
* As a leader, launch into what you are meant to do so as to avoid mistakes
* Be very careful before making any decision or a vow
* Allow the counsel and wisdom of God to guide you
→ Do not rely on your own understanding or human perception as you embark on evangelism, deliverance or prayer for those under the captivity of Satan
*NOTE: The act of rescuing is a spiritual (and sometimes physical) battle
* The act of rescuing is not a difficult task, but there are tactics and techniques that must be employed
→ You are not to be in a hurry to rescue.
→ You are not to delay unnecessarily, else the person dies
→ Decisions must be taken with prayers and strong conviction
☆ To Rescue:
1. You need to have Jesus
2. You need the Spirit of the Lord to guide you
3. Rescue the soul(s) at the right time at the right place
