CANCELING LEGAL GROUND<br />

woman practiced witchcraft in her teens <strong>and</strong> has been a Christian<br />

for years. She was even a praise <strong>and</strong> worship leader <strong>of</strong> a church.<br />

But she had never been delivered from all <strong>of</strong> that past witchcraft<br />

activity! Can you imagine the torment? She also had lost her mar­<br />

riage <strong>and</strong> had so many problems surrounding her life! I have seen<br />

this time <strong>and</strong> time again. When someone gets saved, they are<br />

never walked through deliverance. Then as they start doing things<br />

for God, the demons that are in them that were dormant rise up<br />

against them. They will cause them to lose friends <strong>and</strong> family.<br />

These demons will cause major problems for them in church, turn­<br />

ing many against them. They will cause sickness in the body, de­<br />

pression or mental illness in the mind, maybe even insomnia!<br />

These demons truly make a person’s life hell on earth.<br />

How many people in the body <strong>of</strong> Christ are facing this right now?<br />

People are struggling daily with past sins. Living defeated lives<br />

even though Jesus paid for their victory by his own precious blood.<br />

My pastor always says when people get saved it is a reward for<br />

Jesus’ suffering. How true that is, but also the healing <strong>and</strong> deliver­<br />

ance <strong>of</strong> people is a reward for his suffering as well. Now I want to<br />

discuss legal ground.<br />

Legal ground<br />

This is probably the most misunderstood aspect <strong>of</strong> the deliverance<br />

ministry currently. Legal ground is basically, in a nutshell, the sins,<br />

transgressions, or iniquity <strong>of</strong> an individual or in a family line.<br />

This evil activity has opened a door <strong>and</strong> provided legal right for<br />

demons to come in <strong>and</strong> begin their work in someone’s life.<br />

Sin, transgression, or iniquity<br />

Sin in the Bible means literally to “miss the mark.” This is like an<br />

archer that shoots an arrow at a target <strong>and</strong> simply misses. To me it<br />

is a result <strong>of</strong> having a sinful nature <strong>and</strong> the mistakes that come with<br />

that. Transgression is much more sinister. What Eve did in the gar­<br />

den was a sin, but Adam’s act was a transgression. Transgression<br />

means literally “rebellion.” This is when someone knows what he or<br />

she is about to do is wrong, but choose to do it anyway! A trans­<br />

gression is much more serious. We see in the Bible sins can be<br />

washed away, but transgressions have to be blotted out in Psalm<br />

51. Now iniquity is quite interesting. It literally translates “bent,<br />

crooked, perverted.” Iniquity is something that is on the inside. To<br />

make this as simple as possible, iniquity would be a weakness or<br />

tendency toward a certain sin in a family line. Have you ever won­<br />

dered why a family will have alcoholism, or strife, divorce, sexual<br />

perversions, or occult activity that travels down a family line? What<br />
