Mike Connell Ministries

God wants you to have a vibrant purpose. He wants you connected to Him, to understand your purpose, and fully engage with Him. If for some reason that you have been injured in life, hurt in life or disconnected from God, it's inevitable your life will not demonstrate all it could. Your life will be like this man with the withered hand, not just a physical thing but emotional, with tremendous shame

Keys from the story of Sampson, about the grace of god, how he loves us even in the midst of defeat and disgrace. This story is about the goodness of God to someone who's fallen over, fallen down. You are not beyond the reach of God no matter where you are today. The best days of our life are ahead of us if we're in the hands of God.

Repeat of the next sermon (5 loaves, 2 fish), but includes Joy's Testimony from Asia, and Mike praying for some people.

God wants you to experience the supernatural. Look beyond yourself at the needs of others. Miracles require you to take initiative in faith. Miracles require you to do what you can. Miracles require you to speak and act. Application: Do you see the needs around you? Are you moved? Not my problem? What's your response? compassion? What do you have that God could use? What will you do?

After being set free, we must continue to grow in God, to maintain our freedom. As we resist the devil, and submit to God, we become conscious of the Holy Spirit working in us, to build us up in Him. As we pray we build our spirit man, as we present our mind, body and spirit to Him, we start to walk in his ways. By the renewing of our minds, He changes our lives, and we become more like Jesus every day! We must practice honour and gratitude to our parents, family and friends, and to fellowship with other Christians, to help maintain our freedom.

Bible Students posed several questions, based on their personal experiences, covering the areas of: familiar spirits; self-deliverance; idols; physical & psychological manifestations. We learn that many of these bondages are iniquities (nature/nurture - not our fault, but still our responsibility). We also learn how to bring deliverance into the lives of others, ourselves, and even removing demons from objects, houses and rooms. Always acknowledge God for our blessings, and rejoice with others for what they have, and allow the Holy Spirit to grow us in God.

The foundations for freedom starts when we recognise what Jesus has done for us at the Cross. We cannot do it without Him. He fulfilled all the legal requirements, so we can be delivered and set free from every sin - for all who believe. Teaching how to minister deliverance, and also what must be expected of the person being prayed for. We must acknowledge Jesus, what He has done, accept our part and take responsibility and be saved - Delivered, Rescued, and Healed!

This series continues to describe and explain areas of blockages in our lives that prevent us from functioning as God intended. Often these blockages come into our lives as a reaction to painful and deeply hurtful situations, which we then try to control and cover up. As we recognise and acknowledge these areas, and allow the Holy Spirit to bring us to a place to forgive and trust, then we can come into total freedom, by the power of what Jesus worked on the Cross for us.

What is going on in our heart, is what is going on in our lives. If our heart is bound, and our life is controlled, then we struggle against sin, our own strength. Sin is an energy force inside us. When we co-operate with the Holy Spirit, there is a flow of life that empowers us. As we speak the Word of God and believe, it can change us. The Holy Spirit brings a flow of joy that feels like an energy, but it's a person. As we continue to yield, the flow of the Holy Spirit increases in our lives, and sets us free.

Spiritual gateways allow demonic influences into our lives, either through circumstances beyond our control, or deliberate sin. The consequences of these experiences are discussed, and how to deal with them, bringing total healing and forgiveness through Jesus victory at the Cross. Redemption, Healing and Forgiveness for all sin.

11 minutes of worship, followed by information in regard to the training manual, which available on line to download for free. He suggests people only use this as a base, and rely on the Holy Spirit to lead.

Another major door way of legal entry is sin habits, which develop, and allow demons to control us. We need to repent, and turn away from sin habits, which accumulate and become like a river in our life. God intends us to live in grace, forgiving others, and renewing our minds through mercy and the Word of God. Worship up to 21:00. Teaching. Ministry starts at 1:12

Generational Sin is of the major doorways of legal entry into our lives by Satan, causing bondage to evil spirits. From family curses through to occultic involvement, we need to recognise the power of the Holy Spirit, through the work Jesus won at the Cross, to set us totally free! This session starts 1 minute into the video and the teaching lasts 30 minutes followed by ministry until the end of the video.

13 minutes of ministry and worship followed by an explanation on ministering to people with idolatry and generational spirits. Many people in the congregation were manifesting so Pastor Mike decided to take a break as these sessions had been going for one and half hours. No more on the video.

Starts at 25:40 This session covers solid teaching on the ministry of deliverance (casting out demons). Insights from Matthew 12 from Jesus ministry to what is actually happening in the process of deliverance, and what we need to do to get people free. What is an evil spirit being. How do demons get in? How can we help people reclaim areas of their life that are in bondage? How do we disciple them to rebuild their life? This particular session deals with the door way of generational iniquity and curses.

Short teaching from scriptures on Jesus ministry of deliverance. We can't copy a method, but need authority and power to set free people who are oppressed by the devil. Jesus first sent out 12, then 70, then commissioned all believers to cast out spirits.

Learn how to renew you mind by replacing deep-seated lies with truth, and how to encounter God by using scripture

We don't confront spirits with physical force, but by the anointing of the Holy Spirit. In this session we practise releasing the power of god with our voice.
