In That Day Teachings

This is a generic outline on Overcoming as I understand it.  For sake of clarity, I have named the person God uses to help someone going through Overcoming as “Helper.”  The person that the “Helper” helps is named “Subject.”

What Happens to Most of Us:

1)      We live in a seen and unseen world.  The unseen world is spirits, good and bad.

2)      Examples of bad spirits are jealous rage, anger, deception, constant turmoil, controlling, dirty living, dirty speaking, negative speaking, cursing others, sickness, perversion, homosexuality, thanklessness, craven desirous, gambling, lust, alcohol, drug, smoking, risk-taking, self-destruction, lying, torturing, etc.

3)      Bad spirits get put in us (all living human beings) by trauma, by bad and intense exposure to that bad spirit through an intensely bad situation and person.

4)      In the trauma, the victim (“Subject”) hated, resented, loathed, and was eventually overcome by the spirit.

5)      So the strong bad spirit got in the Subject, usually without subject knowing it.

6)      Then later, the Subject does the same thing to other people.  (The Subject unconsciously uses bad spirits to hurt others, who don’t know how to stop it.)

7)      Hell is expanded in this fashion, virtually unopposed.

8)      If the Subject prays, perhaps God will send a “Helper” (imperfect tho’ they be.)

How to Recognize This Pattern:

1)      Most of us can’t, but with God’s help Subject might see what is happening.

2)      Don’t argue with Subject, turn the other cheek.

3)      Look for God’s hand of stirring (intensive experiences) and God’s timing.

4)      Both the Subject and Helper must keep faith in God.  (Neither person is crazy.  But the bad spirits in people make them seem crazy.)

5)      Sin deceives, so usually the Subject believes the Helper needs help, not Subject.

6)      Subject usually loses control and is less experienced, Helper has more experience

7)      Subject usually has high level of thanklessness.

8)      Subject usually is unstable in the carnal realm of the world.

9)      Subject usually is tossed by winds of any situation, either in world or spirit realm.

10)  Subject usually has numerous “hot buttons” making them “set off.”

11)  Subject is usually unhappy, blaming others and sometimes murderously violent.

How to Get Bad Spirits Out:

1)      Subject must feed only good spirits in self, and stop feeding bad spirits  (This is the practice of feeding the “good dog” in us, not the “bad dog.”)

2)      Subject must desire God’s light on the matter (bad spirits in charge of self.)

3)      Subject must humble self and admit bad spirits are running amok!  (Amok means “possessed with or motivated by a murderous or violently uncontrollable frenzy.”)

4)      Work in God’s timing, not one’s own timing.

5)      Don’t sink the ship with the lip, meaning don’t say anything bad between parties.

6)      Eagles pick flesh off bones, not smucks.  It is a painful, ugly process.

7)      Beware of word-cursing, especially “always”, “nevers”, “hate” and “divorce.”

8)      Helper must be very careful to not be penetrated in energy, sleep, finances, etc.

9)      Assume a high level of self-destruction in Subject

10)  Assume a high level of irrational behavior and thinking in Subject

11)  Assume paradoxically, Subject has keen insight into all other’s bad spirits.

12)  Subject is greatly helped by water baptism.

13)  Subject is even more-greatly helped by Holy Spirit baptism.

14)  Assume over 80% of Subject’s life is typically run wrong by the Subject.

15)  Assume over 80% of Subject’s life will eventually be run correctly by Subject.

16)  Recognize seasons when Helper must stop help or contact with Subject.

17)  All (Subject & Helper) must hear and obey God as if life depended on it.

18)  Subject usually needs help in area of hearing and obeying God.

19)  Only work with God-assigned Subjects, never outside of God’s will.

20)  Only work with God-assigned Subjects if Helper is strong enough to do it.

21)  Helper must respect Subject and Subject must respect Helper.

22)  Both Helper and Subject must believe God honors both for working together.

23)  Allow God to stay in control, don’t let Subject remove that control.

24)  Remember, waves tend to make rocks smooth.  The wild waves bashing spirits out-of-control against each other can achieve smoothing and balance in us.

25)  The eventual goal is a balance of good spirits in an individual, even symmetry.

26)  If hell is REALLY ramped up, perhaps wrong spirits were fed.  (In other words, did Subject go to places with bad spirits, or allow self to be depressed, or take drugs/alcohol, or lose energy, lose sleep, lose health, or lose other such things?)

27)  In spirit stirrings, memory of Helper and Subject tends to be stolen (forgotten.)

28)  Helper and Subject must go toward love-environments.  (In other words, go towards groups with God in them, go toward God-blessed events, go towards God-blessed entertainment, go toward God-blessed days of nature, etc.)

29)  Helper and Subject must go away from non-God environments.  In other words, go away from groups without God in them, away from songs without God in them, away from entertainment without God in them, away from all un-anointed people, places and things.)  ((Otherwise, bad spirits GET STRONGER.))

30)  Realize every step toward God is a miracle and be extremely thankful!

31)  Realize every step away from God is an altogether too real a tragedy.

32)  Realize Subject and Helper can easily lose, fail and have terrible outcomes.

33)  If Subject fails, eternal life may be lost, and all who depend on that Subject to succeed.  This could be thousands and thousands of souls!

34)  Helper and Subject and both succeed or fail, each individually or together.  (There are no guarantees for anybody.)

35)  Stay thankful and close to God. 

36)  Take lots of God-remedies to stay charged-up and balanced.  (In other words, stay close to God’s nature, take walks, take swims, get outside, plant things, do good things that make you happy, pray good prayers, keep faith and self HAPPY!)

37)  Assume old bad spirits will be activated in Helper by Subject and vica versa.

38)  Assume Subject will rail at imperfections of Helper.

39)  Subject is unwise to refuse God-sent help of Helper.

40)  Subject must honor the higher position-in-God of Helper, not pretend the reverse.

41)  Only God makes a soul beautiful.  If dogs, children and people run from Subject when Subject is out-of-control with wild-spirit-stirrings; while simultaneously dogs, children and people are drawn toward in-control Helper; then do not deny the obvious:  The Subject needs help from the God-sent Helper.

42)  Helper should not rescue a Subject not God-ready.  It is utterly useless to do so.

43)  Helper will hurt the Subject, so the Helper must model repentance to the Subject.  (The Subject must maturely receive this, not use it as a weapon against the Helper.)

44)  Helper must recognize release signals from God to stop helping the Subject.

45)  Roles can strangely be reversed by God, to model correct things.

46)  Roles can strangely be reversed by enemies of God, to great ruination of program.

47)  For Helper and Subject, the process is torture for all concerned.  It is excruciating.  It is seemingly endless.

48)  Eventual benefit to Subject is enormous.  All who were waiting for Subject to become their Helper now can receive salvation.

49)  Eventual benefit to Helper is enormous.  Basically, by so helping the Subject, the Helper “hides a multitude of sins.”  (James 5:20)

50)  Both Subject and Helper may hear from Father God, “Well done thy good and faithful servant!”

What Subject Must Realize About Overcoming Process:

1)      Subject needs help, for Subject’s spirits are out-of-control

2)      Subject’s spirits are in a successful self-destruction course.  (All will crash & die.)

3)      Subject must honor Helper, God and this God-ordained path.  (Fight the thoughts that the Helper is a lunatic or needs “fixing” by easily enlisted dupes.)

4)      Subject must realize other options cost much, much more in time, pain, $s, family.

5)      Subject must realize Subject  is expendable, for even Jesus was crucified.

6)      Subject must realize: It is not all about the Subject.  For legions of generations will be in darkness and in death evermore unless help someday arrives from the Subject, after the Subject has success in overcoming bad spirits.

7)      Subject must use all available methods to increase good spirits.  This includes uplifting movies, events, scenic nature walks, uplifting animals, etc., etc.)

8)      Subject must realize improvement comes line-upon-line of understanding doctrine, understanding correct thinking, understanding correct speaking, understanding correct actions, understanding LIFE lived the BEST!

9)      There will be God-ordained rests and recreations.  Realize God is not onerous, and will never give more than anyone can bear.

10)  Don’t fight the river of God, however it flows:  Placid, furious, dry, raging, overflowing!  Simply don’t be uptight, and go and flow with God.

11)  Fight depression, victim whining, mind-shut-down, Helper-shutdown, suicide.

12)  Work hard to reject all bad spirits.  (i.e. Shouting, anger, jealously, suspicion, etc.)

13)  Work hard to receive all good spirits.  (i.e. Happiness, faith, pleasantness, etc.)

14)  When a bad spirit rises up (i.e.  When Subject thinks, I HATE being corrected; Subject must say, NO! to hate and YES! To being teachable and correctable.  Ditto for anger.  Ditto for all bad spirits.)

15)  When good things appear on the horizon, CHASE AFTER THEM!

16)  When bad things appear on the horizon, RUN AWAY!

17)  Judge and recall past experiences to be able to chase the correct horizon.

18)  NEVER, NEVER refuse to go back to an incident THAT SHOULD HAVE TAUGHT YOU SOMETHING!!!  Realize God went to quite and effort to show you where you needed correction.  If you reject your own God-sent lessons, GOD WILL STOP SENDING YOU LESSONS.  (PRAY TO GOD HE DOESN’T CONSIDER YOU UNCORRECTABLE!!!)

19)  Fight having an uncorrectable spirit.  Otherwise, no overcoming is possible.

20)  A self-destructing spirit makes for a life with little good structure.  Chaos is an enemy of God.

21)  An orderly spirit makes a life with good structure.  God is a God of order.

22)  A bad-timing spirit ruins good things with bad time.  God is a God of time.  Fight being deceived by a bad-timing spirit.  This will convince you (wrongly) that doing the right thing does not work.  YOU MUST DO THE RIGHT THING AT THE RIGHT TIME.

23)  Consider doing a fast (stopping) on talking.  This gets you closer to God, and further from fights between Helper and Subject.

24)  Seek to do permanent damage to one’s own ego.  Get self off the throne of your life.

25)  Seek to “catch” bad spirits manifesting.  Catch yourself thinking and then GOING INTO RAGE about something or the other.  Catch the thoughts as they rise up!

26)  Realize most Subjects bring death of some sort to their Helper.  Just as a drowning victim tries powerfully to drown his lifesaver, the same thing happens with Subject to Helper.  This is ugly, but true.

27)  Realize the WHOLE PROCESS will be UGLY.  (It is like cancer or gangrene:  Local death in tissues must be removed from the living body.)

28)  Sometimes it is better for Helper and Subject to communicate by phone, not face-to-face.  (Because bad spirits get activated face-to-face easier than by phone.)

29)  Realize that civil authorities are best avoided, so long as overcoming remains in the realm of God-ordained stirrings.

30)  If overcoming-in-God ever gets dangerous physically or financially; this is tragic; God no-longer can help; self-destruction has won; the people have lost.  God is not pleased.  The kingdom of heaven is not expanded.  Avoid this tragedy.

31)  Keep from blabbing to friends about the process.  To worldly people, the Helper looks to need help and the Subject can appear to be the helper.

32)  Nevertheless, the Helper usually is greatly helped by the Subject, just as any teacher can learn more from the students.

33)  It is absolutely critical for the Subject to not reject help from the Helper.

34)  If nothing seems to be working, have faith, more tools are available:

a.       Fasting (food, words, bad thoughts)

b.      Intercession (pray and ask others to pray for you)

c.       Faith (pray and ask for more…simply say, “I believe.  Period.”

d.      Acquit self as a “man” or as a “woman.”  Simply do your best.  Period.

e.       Immerse self in reading, speaking, listening to words of the Bible.

f.        Trips may be God-ordained to get to next higher level.  (These are not escape-from-God trips but God-ordained trips to get what you need.)

g.       Immerse self in anointing of God (at meetings, from people, artifacts, places, movies, from nature, whatever God deems sufficient.)

h.       Deliverance ministries cast out bad spirits.

i.         Get a second or third opinion from another qualified-in-God Helper.  (Not from sympathetic like-minded friend-of-the-world.)

j.        Check, check and re-check to see what is missing in program.

k.      STOP leaning on man’s help!

l.         LEAN harder on God’s help!

m.     LEAN hardest – by FAR—LEAN hardest on your inner good to do job!

n.       Begin small disciplines (push-ups, dousing, praying, smiling, waking up happy, whatever works easily in small steps) and build up to big steps later.

o.      Ask God for mercy.  Pray, “God have mercy!”

35)  Subject should have faith and DRAW OUT HELP from Helper.  This will make Helper able to do greater things than thought possible.

36)  A quiet person may have the most to say.  Learn to listen to the quiet person.

37)  A talkative person usually has the least to say.  Learn to shut up.

38)  Usually what is happening is written large yet hidden from all who don’t have eyes to see, but discernable from those with eyes of the spirit to see, if the seer fights to not run from the ugly scene or any scene so-displayed.  (For example, a filthy house is an indication of that house-owner’s soul.  A hot-tempered man might have a vehicle that over-heats.  Etc., etc.)

39)  Honor God’s calendar.  Most people don’t, and hurt themselves.

40)  Beware of days surrounding a full moon, spirits get out-of-control.

41)  Beware of deadline days, such as beginning of months, school year, calendar year, Jesus’ birth, betrayal, death, resurrection.

42)  Realize that drugs, alcohol wrongly used, depression, wrong-talk, wrong-actions, disobeying God, not listening to the Holy Spirit, or adopting a do-not-care attitude deals death to all.

43)  Take responsibility for the spirit you are of and the mistakes you make.  That is the goal of overcoming:  To control one’s own spirit and receive truth.

44)  Realize truth is within us all. 

45)  Realize consequences:  Eating a cake, means you don’t have a cake.  Spending money one place means it is not available another place.  Spending time one place means it is not available another place.  Spending energy one place means it is not available another place.  Don’t blame others or the world because consequences are unavoidable.  Take responsibility for lousy decisions which rob yourself and family from the good God intended. 

46)  Pray for wisdom to know what to do for one’s own self and family.

47)  Subject and Helper must pray for each other, forgive each other, bless each other.

48)  Ego, stress, anger, rage, resentment and wrong judgment all work together as bad spirits, destroying the good in life.  Refuse to get stressed out over anything!

49)  Love conquers all.  (REJOICE YOU ARE CHOSEN TO OVERCOME SIN!)

50)  Hate conquers people in sin.

51)  God is love, loves us and wants us to love each other in freedom.

52)  Whom the Son sets free is free indeed.

53)  God wants us all free from sin, including family-destroying bad-spirits.

54)  God wants our spirits to soar like eagles.

55)  God says, “Be ye perfect (spiritually mature) even as I am perfect.”

56)  So God commands us to be spiritually mature.

57)  So, be spiritually mature.

58)  Who has a right to be immature?  No one, but a child.  Don’t be childish.

59)  Be a good man of God, be a good woman of God.  Be good.

60)  Trust, Love and Obey God.
