Summary
In this sermon, Bro Mike discusses the concept of defense mechanisms from a Christian perspective. He explains how demons influence people to use defense mechanisms like blame, denial, and justification to avoid facing truth about themselves. Using biblical examples including Adam and Eve, Aaron, Gehazi, and Cain, he illustrates how these spiritual forces provide temporary relief but ultimately prevent healing and spiritual growth. The pastor emphasizes that Christians must confront these defense mechanisms to find freedom, healing, and their God-given destiny.
Intro Prayer
Heavenly Father, as we gather to discuss Your truth about the defense mechanisms we use to avoid facing ourselves, we ask for Your wisdom and discernment. Open our hearts to recognize the ways we might be avoiding responsibility and truth in our lives. Help us to be honest with ourselves and with each other in this discussion. May Your Holy Spirit guide our conversation and reveal what You want us to learn today. In Jesus’ name, amen.
