Deliverance from Bondage Day 1 Introduction

Hello, brothers and sisters and Heartdwellers family. I will be taking you through the chapters in Pastor James Kawalya’s book “Freedom from Bondages of My Father’s House”. I reached out to his secretary to ask permission to share the chapters online and she said that it was okay to do so.

So, I’m excited to go on this 13-day journey with you guys on the channel in hopes that many of you are enlightened concerning the issues that you see in yourself, in your family, and in your bloodline so that you can take authority over it and be set free. I also pray the scales of blinds fall off many and even laziness because I have found many Christians can be lazy about their deliverance. They go from prayer group to prayer group or just rely on the prayers of others. They are always asking for prayer but not willing to go deep in prayer themselves to really seek God to be delivered from the issues they see. They get accustomed to a particular cycle in their lives and would rather think it’s more a physical thing so do nothing about it because it so much work to seek the Lord, wait on the Lord, to break and war in prayer until chains are broken.

And others, it’s a lack of humility because no one wants to admit they are in bondage in some way, or their family is in bondage or even disorders and illnesses they see. They are too practical minded and have a science behind everything or rather think they are already set free so they just need to stand in faith, and it will happen for them. However, the Lord is wanting to make known now what was hidden from you—if you would allow it—so that He could use you to set your family free and generations free as well, if you would surrender and humble yourself before Him. While reading the chapters I will summarize at the end of each chapter and give us an application so it no longer becomes you listening to Pastor James Kawalya story of deliverance or process of deliverance, but it becomes now your story and journey of deliverance. Because I believe everyone who sincerely avails themselves to the wisdom and knowledge given to Pastor James in this book, will receive freedom or most definitely be equipped to know how to pray and what it is they are dealing with so they might be set free.

Here the introduction begins.

INTRODUCTION

This book provides a guide to deeper Biblical knowledge and understanding for our deliverance. The Father’s house represents authorities which God instituted in families for nurturing the human soul. The family structure is ordained to raise God-fearing children who will fear and serve Him and fill the earth.

Is it any wonder that the devil employs his trusted powers and rulers to fight families? The devil knows that a godly family is a stable family, and a stable family qualifies for the blessings of God. The blessings of God are the most potent weapons to destroy the Kingdom of Satan.

After serving as Guardian Master to Satan for over twenty years, I discovered how the devil hates families. I gained a lot of insight into the devil’s schemes against families and humanity. I realized that all the devil’s most well trained and trusted agents are deployed to the department that is bent on destroying families. The devil knows that the only way to rule and divert nations is to destroy God’s family unit.

God delegated the authority for a man’s blessing in his family. He ordained fathers to be the dispensers of this supernatural power to prosper. This power must be exercised under the Laws of God. When fathers violate the Laws of God, this power to prosper becomes a destructive force. Satan deceives, seduces, and blinds fathers so that they violate the Laws of God, thereby giving him access into their families. Jn 10:10 warns us that “Satan comes only to kill, steal, and destroy.”

Fathers have the authority to open and close all spiritual gates of their families. Whatever they allow into the family becomes the ruling factor of the entire family for generations to come. The day a man becomes a father, he should be aware that he has the key to unlock and lock issues of destiny. The devil strives to convince fathers to abdicate their authority. The father’s house is a foundation on which lives are built.

“If the foundation be destroyed, what can the righteous do?” (Psa. 11:3)

Our deliverance means rebuilding godly foundations and rewriting our family history through godly practices. Deliverance is a discipleship process, not an event.

Being serious with your deliverance involves determination to walk the journey of rebuilding an important foundation.

A SHOCKING REVELATION

The journey of dealing with issues of my father’s house started after my devotion. Prayer during that season was like traversing a long barren wilderness with no relief in sight but for a promise. Day after day I would spend hours seeking the Lord at my prayer altar—for what, I could not exactly specify.

He has revealed Himself to me and delivered me powerfully from Satanism; forgiven me of the mountain of wickedness in my past; and called me to serve him. He had my devotion but the fullness of the promises I read daily in the Bible were far from me.

After praying that morning, I felt challenged to examine the realities of my life. I was desperate for the truth. I asked myself, “Was God’s faithful? If He is, why is my life as His son like this? Am I out of place or is something amiss? Why is He blessing other ministers but passing me by? What am I missing?”

My ministry over the past nine years, I was ashamed to admit, had been a failure. Wherever I ministered outside of my church, people were blessed and experienced the power of God. Many regarded me as the Man of God with a powerful deliverance ministry. They appreciated me publicly… yet, why was I struggling to even put food on my table?

As I pondered these things, something started happening to me. I felt as if a veil was removed from my eyes. What I saw was not pleasant to consider. I saw serious bondages in my past that needed to be resolved but my mind refused to accept that. What choices do I have: going back to the old life and master was not an option, but continuing in the same path was depressing to consider.

I knew that God was faithful, and I remembered His promise in Jeremiah 33:3, if we seek Him, he will show us great and mighty things that we do not know about. I believed that He would give me the answer if I persisted.

This was not surprising since I used to believe that serving God meant suffering like Jeremiah, Peter, and Paul. All I could see in the lives of these men was suffering which caused me to encourage people to accept suffering as a form of serving God but something deep inside me did not resonate with this doctrine although I continued teaching about it.

As an aside I wanted to clarify here. We know the Lord has taught us about suffering. How it’s a gift and a way that he gives Himself to us and releases grace for the salvation of souls. To the Heartdwellers, He has called us to evangelical poverty, which is not destitution, as some perceive, but it’s a life where you do all things for God, and to God. Where you live simply on His providence, giving all you are to serve the poor. But in that place, God blesses you tremendously because He knows that he can trust you with much because you will not keep it for yourself or live for yourself but use it to bless others.

Let’s continue.

Humble Myself — But How?

As I had this mental struggle, God was patiently showing me the path He wanted me to take for my deliverance. I could not understand His admonition until one day, the Holy Spirit led me to reconsider a familiar passage of Scripture in Matt 11:29-30 (NIV 1984) which says. “Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light”

As I meditated on it, the phrase, I am gentle and humble stood out in my mind as a path to follow. I was looking for rest and here the Master was showing me the only way to achieve it. “Learn from Me”, He says. Why has it taken me so long to see this obvious truth? I have read this Scripture many times. I was looking for a solution in which God would come in His mighty power and supernaturally remove the problems I was facing without any effort on my part.

The way was clear: “be humble and gentle”. Humility…gentleness…what do they mean? How could I apply them in my life? I continued with prayer and fasting for another seven days. With no answer forthcoming, this went on for 14 days of earnestly petitioning God to humble me and make me gentle. Those words which initially gave me such hope, quickly turned into deep despair by the end of the second week.

Looking back, I could see how practical was the advice that Job’s wife gave him: “curse God and die.” I was at the breaking point. I had asked God ‘to humble me’ but He did not do so. I just could not see any way forward. It was then that the Holy Spirit whispered; “Be careful what you ask! Humble yourself. If He humbles you, you will not like it.”

I had been pleading with God for 14 days in prayer and fasting, asking Him to humble me. But He was waiting for me to humble myself instead of the painful process of being humbled by Him. “Oh God, how do I humble myself?” I asked. “Unless you accept that there are bondages in your life and seek help from someone, you will always struggle,” was the response.

The more I thought about what God wanted, the harder it was to obey. How could bondages still have their hold on me after all these years in ministry? That contradicted the teaching that says, once I confess Christ, all bondages in my life were automatically removed. Besides that, I had seen many people being healed and delivered through my ministry. The number of miracles and testimonies were more than I could keep track of.

I knew that bondages meant that I needed deliverance from demonic control in some areas of my life Furthermore, He was asking me to confess to someone else; and ask them to minister deliverance to me. That was asking too much from me. There must be another way, I argued.

My Admission and Despair

It took another ten days before I finally humbled myself and admitted that the challenges I was facing were due to spiritual bondages. That realization and admission was a breakthrough. I began to pray and plead with the Lord, “Lord, I am in bondage, and I need deliverance, but you can deliver me yourself without my going to any man. Please deliver me yourself…do not send me to another man.”

Seven days of this relentless petitioning were futile, “God, I have accepted that I need deliverance and I have been waiting for you. Why is nothing happening?” I kept this up for a week before deciding to quit. Quit, from what? Everything! I no longer preached or read the Bible and had even stopped praying.

The God I loved so much seemed not to care. He was so far away that I could not find Him. And without His Presence that I had come to love, life had lost its meaning. This was the most depressing month of my life. Like Elijah, death seemed to me like a welcome relief.

My Pride Under Submission

The Holy Spirit eventually broke the silence. Because I could not humble myself, He stepped in and did it. He told me that if I wanted to be free, I should ask the people whom I was leading to pray for my deliverance.

This was an even bigger blow. I should have gone to some unknown pastor and asked for help but now He is asking me to confess to my people. What would they think of me now? That order was just too much. It took me three weeks to gather the strength to tell them. I decided that I would only tell a few of the young men and an elderly woman who was my prayer partner.

As I began to ask them for prayer, a dam within my heart broke. That inner release was manifested outwardly by uncontrollable sobbing. It was as if my soul was weeping. Whatever it was, it was infectious because it also spread to them. I am sure they did not understand why they were weeping. But their weeping soon turned into deep groaning and travailing prayers. It was a level of prayer I have never experienced before. The only account that comes close is that of The Lord Jesus Christ travailing at the Garden of Gethsemane. At that point, I truly felt loved and appreciated for the first time in the ministry.

Now with my pride under submission, I began to approach the Lord in brokenness and deep repentance. The Lord came to me a week later and said, “James, your deliverance is coming.” “Deliverance from what, Lord?” I asked. He said, “From the wickedness of your father’s house.” The answer truly shocked me.

That closes out the introduction and day one of the book “Freedom from Bondages of My Father’s House.” So, what did we learn through this introduction and first chapter? What is the Lord saying to us?

1. Satan hates families

2. He is bent on destroying families

3. He does this, how? — by attacking the fathers and causing them to abdicate their authority which means to relinquish or forfeit their authority. So if you’re married ad your marriage has been struggling, it’s because Satan is after your family. If you’re going through struggles with your children, situations — Satan is after your family.

4. How does he get fathers to do that, to relinquish their authority? through sin, being spiritual asleep, having them no longer lead the home or not even be present—and defiantly by having a man who are not surrendered to God or walking with him.

And guys, we see that all over, right now in our generation We see more women in churches 13:31

1. When fathers violate the Laws of God, the power to prosper becomes a destructive force. So, we lose the blessing of prosperity through our fathers and it’s not just physical prosperity but spiritual as well.

Some questions we should all ask ourselves

Is your life, and those of your family, riddled with any negative habits, sickness, or addictions? Really think, does hoarding run in your family, any type of abuse emotional, physical, or sexual? Are there many who are obese, or is there a disorder that runs in the family, a sickness? What about marriages, are they fruitful or is there a particular cycle in most marriages in your family, if you guys get married at all? What about financially, is everyone always in debt, borrowing, or impoverished in your family? So, you must ask why is my life like this? Or why is my family’s life like this?

Then ask the Lord these questions in your own prayer time today

1. Am I out of place, meaning am I out of the will of God or is something amiss?

2. Why does it seem [that] others are getting blessed, but I am not, or my family, ra

4. Why does it seem others are getting blessed, but I am not or my family ratherhas trials and hardships instead of the blessings of God?

Then also you must humble yourself. Are you ready for this journey are you ready for the Lord to reveal bondages in your life?

-you must also be ready to come before the Lord and say, “Lord, I am in bondage, and I need deliverance. I need your help and I am willing to get deliverance from someone else. I am ready to confess my sins to another and share what I have been struggling with or what my family has been struggling with so we can be set free. Please help me to do that Lord”

So, I would encourage you to now find someone you trust and open up to them about what the Lord revealed to you or what you assessed when you thought of the bad habits, cycles, and addictions in your family. Confess that there are some areas in your life that are under the influence of Satan, and you want deliverance. Ask that person to pray for your deliverance and seek the Lord to reveal deeper hidden bondages in your father’s house. Through this process of fasting and praying with us for the next 13 days.

Hey, family, I want to encourage you to tune in to the channel for the next 13 days and join me for deliverance as I read through the chapters of Pastor James Kawayla’s book, “Freedom from Bondages of My Father’s House”. I got permission from his secretary to do so. It was really insightful and if we were honest with ourselves I believe all of us in the group need deliverance in one way, shape, or form, but what I love about this 13-day journey is you are not only receiving deliverance for yourself but for your family, and your bloodline and building a new foundation. So, join me. I will post each video on the platform. It comes with questions and challenges at the end of each chapter!
