Healing our land includes leadership training within the church. Part 1



PRAY FOR HAITI DAY 35
GLOBAL PRAYER INITIATIVE OF HAITIAN CHURCHES

Theme Verse 2 Chronicles 7:14
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

Healing our land includes correcting faulty teaching within the church Part 1

Christians cannot be possessed by evil spirits because the true Christian belongs to Christ and his human spirit has been sealed by the Holy Spirit. Eph 1:13. 13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.
For example, when you go to a store and you see a living room set you would like to buy however, there is a sign on it that says SOLD! That means someone has already purchased it though it still remains in the store. You can look at it, you can touch it, you can sit on it, you can bounce up and down on it but you can not possess it because it was paid for by another. It is guaranteed to that person who is coming back to pick it up. The sign on it that says “sold” means the deal was sealed and it cannot be purchased by anyone one else. The same is true with the child of Christ, we are his possession and cannot be possessed by another. We are purchased by His blood and sealed by His Spirit. If it were possible for a true Christian to be possessed by demons, we are in essence saying that demons are more powerful than God.( lol)

PRAY: Ask God to transform our thinking and renew our mind in His word.

ACT: Study, meditate and memorize the word of God and teach it others.
