‘I was Satan’s Bride Before THIS Prayer Set Me Free from Demonic Bondage’

Excerpted from Receiving Deliverance from the Courts of Heaven.

I was ministering in the Northwest part of our nation.

It was a small setting. I was teaching on the Courts of Heaven. In particular, I was emphasizing being married to the Lord. Before I move on, let me say, being married is a legal, official union recognized and regulated by law. This is why when two people get married, they must have the authorization of the government, which provides a marriage license. And this is why dissolving a marriage requires legal activity as well. You must have a divorce decree from a judge to be officially divorced.

As I was teaching on being married to the Lord, I cited Hebrews 12:18-24. This Scripture passage talks of where we are in the spirit world as New Testament believers:

For you have not come to the mountain that may be touched and that burned with fire, and to blackness and darkness and tempest, and the sound of a trumpet and the voice of words, so that those who heard it begged that the word should not be spoken to them anymore. (For they could not endure what was commanded: “And if so much as a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned or shot with an arrow.” And so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, “I am exceedingly afraid and trembling.”)

But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.

We are told as New Testament believers in a new covenant with God, we haven’t come to Mount Sinai—we have come to Mount Zion. This is what is being referenced here. Even though we aren’t at Mount Sinai, which is where the law was given, it was a part of the journey of God. The law had to have been given so that we come in finality into grace. Before we could receive the grace of God to redeem us back to God, we had to know our need for God. We are told in Romans 7:12-13 this is what the law that was given at Mount Sinai was for:

Therefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good. Has then what is good become death to me? Certainly not! But sin, that it might appear sin, was producing death in me through what is good, so that sin through the commandment might become exceedingly sinful.

Through the law we became aware of how sinful we are. This caused us to recognize our need for the Savior. We became prepared through this to accept and receive Jesus.

However, another thing that happened at Mount Sinai was God married Israel as His people. As a result of Israel having been in Egyptian captivity for 400-plus years, they had made covenants with many of Egypt’s gods. These gods/demons could still make legal demands against Israel. These demons could claim ownership of this people. At Mount Sinai, the Lord rendered a divorce decree from those gods and took Israel as His bride. The Ten Commandments that were given was the marriage vows of God with His people. He was in essence declaring, by giving them these commandments, that in keeping them they would be His people. God married Israel at Mount Sinai.

I was teaching this in this setting that I spoke about. As I finished the teaching, I began to take us through the Ten Commandments and to declare that we were married to the Lord. It went something like this: “As I stand before the Courts of Heaven, I marry the Lord. I declare that with God’s help and strength, I will have no other gods before You. I am committed to You and You alone, Lord, as my Lord and Savior.”

We went through all ten of the commandments as marriage vows. We made commitments not to commit adultery, murder, bear false witness, and all the other commandments mentioned. We swore that with the Lord being our strength and help, we would keep these vows spoken in the commandments. When we were finished, we declared that we were now married to the Lord. Every other demon god that would claim ownership or covenant with us was now revoked. We were divorced from all other gods and married only to the Lord. This was a very powerful time in the Lord.

I didn’t know that in this small meeting was a young lady who had been conceived and raised to be the bride of satan. Her parents were satanists, and this had been her whole life. She had somehow, miraculously been saved. She was now a born-again believer. However, the demons she had been committed to and was used by would not leave her alone. Even though she had been converted, they tormented her and would not let her go.

She sought me out after the meeting and began to tell me her story. She related that as I led them through the marriage ceremony, she had felt deliverance and release she had never known before. We rejoiced together about what it appeared the Lord had done. A couple of months later, I received an email from her. She let me know that from that evening on, she had been completely freed. When we had stepped into the Courts of Heaven and had married the Lord and divorced the devil, every legal right the demons were claiming against her had been revoked. She had no more torment or harassments from these powers. She was completely delivered.

This was all a result from the legal activity we took in the Courts of Heaven. The legal claims of satan were annulled and the rights of God over her were established. If we are to be freed from demonic possession, oppression, control, and influence, satan’s legal claims must be revoked in the Courts of Heaven. If we are to see this happen, we must have some understanding of the Courts of Heaven.

In Daniel 7:9-10 we see the clearest picture of this spiritual dimension. The Courts of Heaven is not a method of praying, it is a spiritual dimension. This is what Daniel is revealing as he operates as a seer, or one who sees into the unseen world.

I watched till thrones were put in place, and the Ancient of Days was seated; His garment was white as snow, and the hair of His head was like pure wool. His throne was a fiery flame, its wheels a burning fire; a fiery stream issued And came forth from before Him. A thousand thousands ministered to Him; ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him. The court was seated, and the books were opened.

Notice that Daniel watched. This means he was functioning as a seer. He was looking into this unseen world. We must understand that there is an unseen world that is much more powerful and real than the seen world we live in. What goes on in that unseen world controls and effects what happens in the seen world where we live. Hebrews 11:3 tells us about this:

By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.

People read this Scripture and make a wrong assumption about what it is saying. They say the Lord created the world we see out of nothing. This is not what it says. It declares the Lord created what we see out of what isn’t seen. That is a massive difference. This means that there is an unseen realm that created and controls the seen realm of our world. It takes faith to operate in this unseen world and affect our seen realm. Wow! This is what we are doing when we step into the Courts of Heaven that Daniel as a seer was seeing! Our activity in that realm will set in motion things that will change the present world we live in.

If we are to experience deliverance, we must revoke the legal claim the devil is using to hold us in places of bondage. These places of bondage can be a result of our own activity of sin or iniquity in the bloodline.
