Keeping your healing

Summary

Doctor Brian Adams teaches on keeping healing and deliverance by understanding spiritual laws and the devil's tactics. He emphasizes that believers must fight to retain what they receive from God by standing on God's Word, maintaining forgiveness, resisting demonic spirits through confession, and refusing to rely on their five senses rather than Scripture.

The Foundation: Your Only Enemy is the Devil

• Your only true enemy is the devil, not people—people are puppets and the devil is the puppet master pulling the strings
• Scripture confirms this in Ephesians 6:12: believers wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, powers, and spiritual wickedness
• The devil is both a liar and a legalist constantly seeking legal right to bring problems into your life through sin

Fighting to Receive and Keep Your Healing

• To receive anything from the kingdom of heaven requires fighting through faith and decision to stand on God's Word regardless of circumstances
• Matthew 11:12 teaches the kingdom of heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force
• Once you receive healing or deliverance, you must fight to keep it—80% of healings result from deliverance from demonic spirits after repentance and forgiveness
• Symptoms are not sickness but advertisement for sickness; confess healing based on Scripture, not on what you feel

The Critical Role of Forgiveness and Repentance

• Unforgiveness and sin give the devil legal ground to afflict you with tormenting spirits of pain, sickness, disease, depression, and mental illness
• Matthew 18:32-35 demonstrates that those who refuse to forgive after being forgiven are delivered to tormentors until their debt is paid
• Repentance means stopping sinful patterns and aligning your thoughts, words, and actions with God's Word
• Romans 6:23 shows that the wages of sin is death—every sin sown produces seeds of death that grow into sickness and eventually physical death

God's Will and Authority for Divine Health

• God's will for you is healing and divine health—Psalms 103:1-3 reveals God forgives all iniquities and heals all diseases as the believer's benefit package
• 1 Peter 2:24 states by Christ's stripes you were already healed—this is past tense and available to all people
• You must know your authority in Christ Jesus as given in Luke 10:19 to have power over all the power of the enemy
• Believers must fill themselves with God's Word on healing through study, memorization, and confession to fight the fight of faith

Resisting the Devil's Return and Maintaining Victory

• Luke 11:21-22 teaches that when a demon is cast out, it seeks to return with seven others more wicked if the house remains empty and unguarded
• When symptoms return after healing, recognize they are the spirit attempting to come back—speak with authority in Jesus' name and resist through God's Word
• Don't rely on your five senses; believe God's Word even when pain and symptoms are present
• A part-time Christian cannot defeat a full-time devil—you must serve God with your whole heart and maintain consistent confession of healing and authority
