Deliverance and Hitting a Wall

MELISSA GABLER—Over the past year I have been walking through deliverance and feeling like a new person until I hit a wall recently. I asked the Holy Spirit what this was and at first I heard to renounce old wives’ tales. So I started renouncing old wives’ tales I had come into agreement with. I hit the wall again and then I asked the Holy Spirit a couple of times what that wall was and I heard, “doctrines of demons”. I am familiar with that passage in 1 Timothy 4:1 “Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,”. I thought I knew what that meant: witchcraft, new age, dark arts, occult, etc, until the Holy Spirit proceeded to show me there is more to it than I thought. Let’s look at 1 Timothy 1:1-2, “But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron,” verse 7-8, “But stay away from worthless stories that are typical of old women. Rather, discipline yourself for the purpose of godliness; 8 for bodily training is just slightly beneficial, but godliness is beneficial for all things, since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.” First of all, my mouth dropped open when I saw “stories that are typical of old women” in that scripture. That’s the ‘old wives tales’ the Holy Spirit told me to renounce so this was confirmation that He was leading me down a path of eye-opening awakening and deliverance! To put these scriptures in my words: In these last days we can fall away from the faith if we listen to (and embrace) those who are very deceived or purposely spouting the plans and intentions of evil – that they were taught, influenced by, brainwashed with by deceitful spirits and demons.
