STERN Contents Dedication Introduction Intro to the spirit of Jealousy Satan vs. God??? Who is Satan? What is a Stronghold? Freedom from Jealousy Here Is How To Be Free… True Spiritual Identity The Image of Jealousy Dedication It is my profound honor to dedicate this and every book in this series to my Heavenly Father who never leaves me nor forsakes me. In this walk, we truly walk with Him and never alone. To you the reader for being so bold as to desire freedom and to seek after it. Introduction t is time for the Truth to be exposed about the powerlessness of the one who I has long since been thought to be the adversaries of your soul; Satan and his followers. One of the major followers of Satan and the one spirit commonly seen or experienced by man is the stronghold spirits. There are fourteen types of strongholds spoken about in the Bible. In the Power of Freedom series, I have done an in-depth exposure of them all. You will be astounded by the truth which will be revealed and the fact that they are based on scripture you have probably read several times. Revelation purely released by the Holy Spirit will also be embedded in the pages of this book. What is exposed in this series is each type of stronghold and how it operates. You will discover the truth about strongholds and the manifested fruits. You will discover what the manifestations are displayed in the natural realm. You will also gain full knowledge of where the open doors are that allow these spirits access to the soul of the believer and non-believer alike. Finally, I will uncover how each stronghold’s affects the character of man. Satan gave up his position in disobedience to the Creator. What you perceive as power in the adversary is nothing more than a play on your lack of knowledge of your Heavenly position in conjunction with multiple forms of deception. The only thing the adversary has is an open door or opportunity to change your perception of thing and with that opportunity he imparts deceptive thoughts. Power of Freedom was created to show and tell you how Satan does not have any power at all. You will hear this repeated throughout this book for the purpose of getting it deeply embedded into your spirit. The reason for the repetition is so your beliefs around Satan’s “power” will be diminished and ultimately destroyed. It is the will of the Father that I write this book, telling the real truth about who God is and who you are in Him. Most of all the truth will be told about the adversary and his followers. It is nearly impossible to fulfill your true purpose in God without having the clear understanding that Satan is POWERLESS. We have been taught to believe that the adversary has power to cause issues in our lives; this is not scripture. He does not have the power he has to be given the power. It is the will of the Father that all these lies are exposed and the truth be understood. The will of the Lord is to see His children come into the knowledge of who they are and invest no more belief in the powerless antics of the adversary and his followers. It is also His desire for you to live a life full of freedom and peace. It is an amazing thing to know the peace of God and live in total freedom. I am placing a loving warning in this introduction. There are some things which the Lord will reveal that will seem unbelievable to the carnal mind. This word is not for the spiritually faint at heart. This word is for those who want to know how to get to the narrow road and walk it. The narrow road is not visible by all; it must be found. I am speaking to the Christians, who have already stood and said they believe Jesus is the true and living sacrifice. If you have not yet made this confession; maintain this course and you will get a glimpse into the understanding of who you really are and the Love Christ Jesus has for you. Because there is so much to reveal, I will not take time to express all the Holy Spirit has taught me, which I am now passing on to you; in this introduction. It is my hope and prayer that you will receive the information provided to enhance your belief system and to perpetuate the true blessings of the Lord in your life. Intro to the spirit of Jealousy hat this spirit represents (in my humble opinion) is the ultimate lack of self W control. One of the greatest powers we possess is the power of our emotions. Did you know that our emotions are extremely important in the spirit realm? Yes, they are. There are several scriptures that warn us to maintain control of our emotions. Our emotions are a significant component to how we manifest heaven here on earth. This stronghold (when it is drawn to us) manages to make a mockery of the self control that man is commanded to sustain. This darkness of emotions is generally drawn to those who have not mastered forgiveness and have a heart full of resentment. The Word of God tells us clearly that we may get angry but we should not sin. What that scripture is saying it you can and will be angry but you must maintain control of your emotions. You must not resort to sinning before God. Can you imagine a world that is free from offense having the ability to work out our difference? Where everyone is walking and living lives in freedom. I am not speaking of simple freedom; I am talking about total liberty in the spirit realm. Maybe you say; no I cannot imagine such a thing. Well, let me tell you that it exist. A world and place where emotions are not evil in nature at all. This place is in the presence to the True and Living God (Jesus). In this book I will expose many of the challenges that are connected with this spirit and by the time you close this book you will have a different perspective on the manifestations of this stronghold called Jealousy. I can assure you right now what you may think of jealousy is not the truth. It is so easy to be angry and sin. It takes major training and thoughtfulness to be upset and manage that emotion to achieve the proper out come. This spirit manifest out of some powerful lust. It is no easy thing to change a person’s heart when it is set on something they strongly desire. This is the power behind your emotions; especially desire, want, lust and passion. Your liberty is in your knowledge. Your knowledge is only realized when you apply it. Your result comes from persistence. It all resides in Christ Jesus your Savior. The POWER you have to deal with Satan, strongholds and all demonic influence is in the palm of your hands. If you are ready to know what it feels like to be totally free from the stronghold spirit of jealousy …Read on! Shalom, Freedom & Joy. Satan vs. God??? t has been long thought that the adversary is a counterpart or opposite of the I Father God of Creation. The adversary cannot even perceive the massive greatness of God, let alone be compared as His counterpart. In developing this series, the first thing I desired to do is to put an end to this lingering thought of a comparison. There is no truth in this belief. It is like comparing the great blue whale which is the largest animal on the planet to the fairy fly which is the smallest animal on the planet. There is absolutely no comparison. To say Satan is on the opposite scale or opposing end of the Father is just ludicrous. The most important fact that must be understood in order to deflate the theory is the fact that God created Satan. God is the Creator of all things. ALL THINGS! The very first chapter of the Bible tells us it was because of God’s doing creation came to be. If Satan was at opposing ends with God then why would he not stop God from creating the very creation (man) that would later destroy him? It seems to me that he would make every effort to stop the process. Satan held a position in the Heavenly host prior to his demotion. If he stood at opposing ends of the spectrum and he possessed power; then why would he be a servant to the Lord God? THE ADVERSARY IS ABSOLUTELY POWERLESS. He never ever had any power; NEVER. It is my desire that you would truly understand two things: the magnitude of God’s power & authority and the fact that Satan has absolutely none. There are no opposing ends of the spectrum; in fact there is no spectrum. It has never been a matter of good in opposition to evil. It is simply God and Him alone holding ALL power. Isaiah 45:5-7 (KJV) “5I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded
