The Training Ground

This isn't about the general idea of avoiding sin. Rather, this is about the minute-by-minute fight we face while avoiding sin.

In general, the American church doesn't walk in power. The moving of the Holy Spirit is hindered because we don't routinely practice healing and deliverance (the casting out of demons). By routinely practicing healing and deliverance, we LEARN how to be led by the Holy Spirit. If we don't routinely practice them, we aren't utilizing the power and authority we have over demons and our bodies. Exactly what does this mean? It means someone who is suicidal, or is feeling pushed to do something else terrible, feels hopeless. They want to look to God for help, but they see a church that has a form of godliness, but doesn't walk in power. Therefore, Christianity becomes just another religion. An idea that hints of truth, but can't be proven. There might be something there, but nothing that can really help someone who is on the verge of self-harm. Know this...us at The Training Ground have seen God move. We KNOW He's real because we've seen His power. We've witnessed and participated in healings and the casting out of demons. We've met with suicidal people and helped them get set free. If you are on the brink of suicide, contact us at contactthetrainingground@gmail.com or 616-466-4090. We are located near Grand Rapids, MI.

This was from a few years ago. This testimony does a good job showing the relationship between healing and deliverance.

What does the world say about such things? What does the Word say about such things? How would you guess God feels about such things? This is what we discuss.

What is witchcraft? There's obvious witchcraft and not so obvious witchcraft. Don't fall victim to it!

This topic is too often not addressed in the current culture.

Scripture related to not supporting abortion is Leviticus 20:2-5.

Are you a homosexual or bisexual? Do you have gender dysphoria? Do you suffer with similarly related issues? There is an answer to your problems although most people, even most churches, aren't aware of it. In this video we talk about what God thinks of these things. We also talk about the spiritual solution.

Pride doesn't usually attack us in an obvious, head-on manner. It prefers to subtly creeps into our lives like a slow poison. In this video we talk about it more in-depth.

Jesus worked through the moving of the Holy Spirit and the willingness of a young disciple to heal pain.

After Nancy was delivered of fear, anxiety, and worry she immediately noticed that she was no longer allergic to tomatoes. This was covered in her first testimony. Since then she realized that her other allergies, such as hay fever, are gone too. But It doesn't stop there. While she always needed a magnifying glass to read, she now is able to read with clear vision!

People in general are ignorant of who we are actually fighting against in this world. Christians and Pastors will often say our enemy is the devil, but they don't know HOW to fight him. A disciple's weapons of war aren't worldly, but are powerful through the moving of the Holy Spirit. His includes teaching the Word in-depth, casting out demons, and healing the sick.

Good stuff. Not only was Nancy delivered from anxiety, but she lost her allergy of tomatoes too!

This covers what to do when deliverance is completed.

We discuss repentance and the casting out of demons.

Start with a conversation to learn what demons need to be cast out. Categorize those demons into groups as you write them down. This will make the actual casting out of the demons more efficient.

NOTES FOR: Basics of Deliverance and Healing (Part 1 of 4) - What is it, who performs it, and who is it for? Deliverance is the casting out of demons from a person. This can lead to the healing of mental and physical problems. Healing is the ending of a mental or physical problem. Sometimes healing happens by casting out demons and sometimes healing happens by simply commanding the physical problem to leave/heal because it isn’t demonically influenced. DELIVERANCE AND HEALING ARE PART OF A DISCIPLE’S JOB Jesus was determined to make disciples who walked in power from the very beginning. And He went up on the mountain and called to Him those He Himself wanted. And they came to Him. Then He appointed twelve, that they might be with Him and that He might send them out to preach, and to have power to heal sicknesses and to cast out demons: Mark 3:13-15 NKJV Jesus gave us our orders before he went to be with God the Father. His orders are known as the “Great Commission.” Here it is… Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you Matthew 28:19-20 NKJV Among the things Jesus commanded them to do were casting out demons and healing the sick. Jesus says this again in a little more detail in Mark 16:15-20 NKJV… And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover." So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen. When we are born again we are spiritual babies. We have just received the Holy Spirit and now we have to let Him teach us. We can use our intellectual ability to gain knowledge of the Word, but spiritual DEPTH is revealed by the Holy Spirit. Through this depth, the knowledge of God will be revealed. Deliverance and healing are the deeper things of God. Such things are taught by the Holy Spirit. The details on how to do these things are not listed in the bible. The reason is we need to first be led by the Holy Spirit. We must then let HIM teach us such things. If we attend a church that doesn’t believe in such things, that church is hindering the moving of the Holy Spirit. “But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves…having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!” (2 Timonthy 3:1-5) Jesus made the mold for what a disciple is. We must follow HIS mold, not the weak, powerless mold this world had made! DELIVERANCE AND HEALING IS FOR WHO? Jesus casted out demons and healed those who came to Him or had an intercessor. They were ALL Jesus followers! Deliverance and healing is still for Jesus’ followers. They are gifts from God for His children. And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, "Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed." But He answered her not a word. And His disciples came and urged Him, saying, "Send her away, for she cries out after us." But He answered and said, "I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." Then she came and worshiped Him, saying, "Lord, help me!" But He answered and said, "It is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs." And she said, "Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters' table." Then Jesus answered and said to her, "O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire." And her daughter was healed from that very hour. Matthew 15:22-28 NKJV

Our wounds accumulate over the years. The Lord can heal those wounds if you give Him a chance.

BEING BORN AGAIN NOTES Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." John 3:3 NKJV Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. John 14:6 NKJV No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. John 6:44 NKJV "If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever--the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. "A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also. At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him." John 14:15-21 NKJV Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. John 3:5 NKJV And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover." So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen. Mark 16:17-20 NKJV But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 2 Timothy 3:1-7 NKJV
