Spiritual Readiness and Guarding Against Complacency

In this info-packed episode, Cherie Sheridan and Daniel Bobinski emphasize the importance of partnering with God through discernment when using spiritual authority to bring healing and freedom to others.

Also discussed is the need for willingness and faith in people who are receiving prayer and healing, the role of angelic assistance, plus the necessity of guarding against complacency and closing spiritual doors to prevent spiritual attack. Because if you're being used by God, the enemy WILL attack.

Discussion points include:

Spiritual Readiness:
• Effective ministry requires a foundation in God’s Word, sensitivity to the Holy Spirit, and a prayerful heart.
• Discernment is critical when deciding if, when, and how to pray for others.
• Faith and a receptive heart are essential for people to receive spiritual breakthroughs.

Angelic Assistance:
• God assigns angels to help believers in deliverance and healing ministries.
• Us praying for angelic help is in keeping with God’s design for spiritual warfare.

The Power of Jesus’ Name:
• Prayers spoken in the authority of Jesus’ name carry immense power to bind the enemy and set captives free.
• The blood of Jesus is the ultimate protection against spiritual attacks.

Living a Sanctified Life:
• We must keep spiritual doors closed by avoiding ungodly influences (e.g., media, harmful relationships).
• Living a holy life equips believers to minister effectively without spiritual retaliation.
• Fasting and praying amplifies spiritual discernment and reduces distractions.

Warnings Against Complacency:
• Seemingly innocent books, games, or movies can serve as spiritual portals for demonic influence.
• Believers must guard against gradual desensitization to ungodly practices.

Scripture references mentioned include:
• 2 Kings 6:17 – Angelic hosts protecting Elisha and his servant.
• Psalm 91:11 – Angels given charge over God’s people.
• Luke 10:19 – Authority to trample on serpents and scorpions.
• Ephesians 6:10-18 – The armor of God for spiritual warfare.
