AN INVITATION TO BATTLE

Join fellow believers of Lake Hamilton Bible Camp in "destroying the works of the devil" (I John 3:8).

It is our responsibility as believers to use our authority in Jesus Christ and with his name bind satanic forces daily from our minds, families, homes, counties, states, and country. You can make a big difference. The Lord Jesus says we are sent as He was sent (John 20:21).

From Genesis to Revelations the Bible is God’s plan to defeat satan. Turning away from the devil is essential to receive the power of God.
RESTORING THE SOUL Psalms. 7:2; 23:3, Luke 12:16-20

Father I come to you in the name of Jesus Christ and I ask you to send angels to gather and restore my (or name of person prayed for) soul to its rightful place in me (or name of person prayed for). With the full power and authority of Jesus Christ, I ask for you to send your angels to unearth and break all earthen vessels, bonds, bands, and bindings that have been put upon my (or name of person prayed for) soul, willingly or unawares. I ask you to have them free my (or name of person prayed for) soul from all bondage by whatever means is required and I agree and say Father, that the power of the Lord Jesus Christ is all powerful and effective to do this.

Now Father, I ask you to send your angels to gather and restore to its proper place all the pieces of my (or name of person prayed for) fragmented mind, will, emotions, appetite, intellect, heart, personality, subconscious mind, and bring them into proper and original positions perfectly as you planned them when you formed Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.

In the authority of Jesus Christ I break and cast out, and return to the sender, the power of all curses upon my (or name of person prayed for) head and curses upon my or name of person prayed for) soul.Here are some scriptural verification.

Embrace the Fullness of the Holy Spirit

The baptism of the Holy Spirit is bigger than just tongues. Expect the fullness of the Holy Spirit.

Acts 19:1-6

While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul took the road through the interior and arrived at Ephesus. There he found some disciples and asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?”

They answered, “No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”

So Paul asked, “Then what baptism did you receive?”

“John’s baptism,” they replied.

Paul said, “John’s baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in Jesus.” On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied.

What to expect with the Baptism of the Holy Spirit

1. Expect Supernatural Wisdom

Acts 6:10 But they could not stand up against the wisdom the Spirit gave him as he spoke.

The Holy Spirit gives you wisdom how to take care of challenges in your family and witness.

2. Expect to Receive the Release of His Perfect Love

Expect the supernatural love of God.

Romans 5:5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

3. Expect All the Fruits of the Holy Spirit

Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

4. Expect All the Gifts to be Instantly Deposited Into Us

I Corinthians 12:8 - 10 To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues.

The Holy Spirit equips you. You can expect to meet the need of those around you. Covet the best gift that is in the situation at that moment.

5. Expect the Strength to Live a Consecrated Life

The Holy Spirit becomes that power. Read Romans 6 in its entirety. Expect a life of worship, a life of reading your bible, and a life of His intimacy. It is easier to live a Holy life.

Revelation 12:11 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who is victorious will not be hurt at all by the second death.

6. Expect the Ability to Resist and Defeat Your Enemies

Expect the ability to resist and defeat your enemies - Satan, sin, and self. Only a Christian with the Holy Spirit's supernatural anointing can expect a brand new ability. Sin is your enemy. You can not keep sin and you together. It is like a magnet, if you put both ends together they resist each other. We receive a new ability to defeat Satan.

7. Expect to Live in Unity with the Body of Christ

After the Baptism of the Holy Spirit you can expect to live in unity with others in the body of Christ. They will know we are Christians by our LOVE.

8. Expect to Live the Rest of Your Life on Earth with POWER

Power to cast out demons, to witness, to worship in a way that we have freedom. -Bits and Pieces of sermon from Tim Davis-

But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you." (Acts 1:8)

This promise of our Lord signaled the beginning of the immense change from the old covenant to the new. Prior to the fulfillment of Joel’s prophecy (Joel 2:28; Acts 2:16) on the day of Pentecost, the saints of God were empowered both selectively and infrequently.

We, however, upon whom the "better thing" has come (Hebrews 11:40), are all temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19). Since we have been "quickened" (made alive) by the Holy Spirit (1 Peter 3:18), we surely should then "walk in the Spirit" (Galatians 5:25). What then is the dunamis (power) that the Holy Spirit provides to us?

Obviously, the power comes from the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit Himself (Ephesians 3:16-20). Our flesh has "no good thing" (Romans 7:18) to provide for an empowered, Spirit-filled life. Apart from the dwelling of God’s Spirit in us (Ephesians 1:14), we would be unable to live righteously (John 15:5).

But thanks be to the omnipotent and omniscient Creator that the Holy Spirit gives us gifts to use in Christ’s assembly to mature and to encourage each other (Ephesians 4:7-16). The Holy Spirit also grants us the ability to develop His "fruit" in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23).

Then, with the encouragement and maturity we gain through our churches, and the fruit of the Holy Spirit being obvious in our daily lives, the great privilege of sharing the gospel with the lost becomes a delightful exercise of "power" (Romans 1:16) that is clear, not only in careful words of testimony, but in and through a life empowered by the Holy Spirit (1Thessalonians 1:5). -Power of the Holy Spirit by Henry Morris III, D.Min.-

Heavenly Father, You are the Lord of Lords, the God of God's, Your greatness goes before you. We thank you for Your Son, Jesus. We thank you for Your mighty Holy Spirit. We thank You for Your Spirit Breathed Word.

Jesus, You said, dunamis power of God will come upon us when we receive the Holy Ghost, (Acts 1:8). You said in Ephesians 1:17, that we are to pray for the revelation of the greatness of your dunamis power toward us who believe. We are asking you for it now. We ask you to give us the revelation of that dunamis power. We ask you to give us the manifestation of it. We desire to receive this dunamis power "for this and this alone will meet the necessity of the human heart and this and this alone will have the power to overcome the forces of darkness." We've reached this hour and we do believe that things have shifted and things have changed and that there will be a great move of God on the earth -- a great manifestation of the power of God through the sons and daughters of God. And we are asking you for it right now. And we believe it right now. We believe that we are the sons and daughters of God and that we can receive that power and walk in it daily by looking to you as our source. We receive that power now by faith and we walk in it daily. Show us how to manifest that power on behalf of others in healings, miracles, signs, and wonders. In Jesus' name. Amen.
