"Therefore, my Beloved Brethren, 
be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not vain in the Lord"

1 Corinthians 15:58

 


   
If you are fulfilling the will of God in your life, don't fret if you come to a "Red Sea" or a Valley that seems to be "the Valley of the Shadow of Death."If HE leads 
you TO IT, 
HE'LL lead you 
THROUGH IT!

                 LIBERATOR

                                                                                         
Dr. Scott Garner, Ph.D.

     Wouldn’t it be great to have a simple plan to be successful in your life? You have just found the answer. It is the 3d Liberator. God gave me this simple plan about 38 years ago as I was asking Him "How To" live out the principles of the Word. I have been using this plan daily since 1972. It always works to provide spiritual freedom and liberty.

     It will provide you with the 4-step plan to walk in liberty. This following 4-step plan and prayer is the key to that success. It brings into reality God’s provision to overcome (1) sins, our (2) sinful – fleshly nature, and the (3) devil. When Jesus died on the cross, He overcame all three of these problems we face daily. It was and is finished. It also positions us to hear from God as He leads us.

    
The 4-step plan or prayer and the Scriptural references are listed below, and then we will give you more Scriptural information to explain each one of the steps. We will include the Scriptural explanations to the first section in this presentation.

(1) The first step is to submit to God.

     "Submit to God, Draw Near to God, and He will draw near to you."  James 4:7-8

      
PRAYER:  "Father, I submit to you.  You be the Lord of my life."

(2)  The second step is to resist the devil.

       "Resist the devil and he will flee from you."  James 4:7

         PRAYER:  "Every demon affecting me, I command you to listen.  I resist the devil, and you must flee.  Devil, No & Go.  I bind, rebuke and resist the devil.  I destroy your works.  I send you into the pit.  I lose the light, the blood, the anointing, the cross, the Word of God, and the angels to put you into the pit in Jesus' name.

        "I cut off all words, judgments, weapons, and all formed against me.  It will not prosper, in Jesus' name."  Isaiah 54:17

(3)  The third step is to speak to God about your sins..

       "Cleanse your hands, you sinners. . ."  James 4:8
       " If we confess (agree with God) our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins. . ." 1 John 1:9.   Repentance means you change your mind and your ways.

         PRAYER:  "Father, I now confess all my sins . . ., and I agree and submit to your Word."

        "I cut off all words, judgments, weapons, and all formed against me.  It will not prosper, in Jesus' name."  Isaiah 54:17

(4)  The fourth step is to speak to your flesh about God..

       ". . .purify (holy) your hearts, you double minded ."  James 4:8  This scripture is the 3rd key to move from Carnal to Spiritual: 
       " Reckon yourself dead to sin and alive to God.." Romans 6:11.  


         PRAYER:  "I say I am dead to sin (flesh), and I say I am alive to God."

        "Based on the Word, I say I am now filled with the Spirit, His power, love, a sound mind, and His glory in Jesus name."  Ephesians 5:18; 2 Timothy 1:7

          
God wants you to live free.  Repeat these 4-Steps as often as needed. 
       Immediately when you follow your fleshly nature, stop and pray the 3rd
                                           LIBERATOR TM 4-Step Plan.

                                               ********************

                  SCRIPTURAL EXPLANATION
           FOR THE 3d LIBERATOR

              
(1st Step or Section)

1.  The First Step is to Submit to God:

      PRAYER:  "Father, I submit to you.  You be the Lord of my life . . . ."

      "Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, the spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
        But he giveth more grace.  Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace
        unto the humble.  Submit yourselves therefore to God"
. . . James 4:5-7

        Do you think God wants you to submit to Him?  He longs for your fellowship and gives you
        grace (power to accomplish) when you submit and humble yourself before Him.

        Only when we submit to His Lordship will we produce and accomplish.  Jesus said that you
        can do nothing without Him.  "I am the vine, ye are the branches; He that abideth in me, and
        I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit; for without me ye can do nothing."
John 15:5


        Abiding is not a casual visitation to church.  It is a commitment because of our love for Him
        and the awareness that we are utterly helpless without His intervention.  True maturity is
        the awareness that we can do nothing without His help and provisions.  In fact, we only get
        saved as we make Him Lord and Savior.  ". . .Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou
        shalt be saved, and thy house."
  Acts 16:31.

        Lord, I submit to You.  "Submit yourselves therefore to God. . ."  James 4:7

         I yield to Your Holy Spirit.

         13.  "Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but
         yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members
         as instruments of righteousness unto God.


         14.  "For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under
         grace.

         15. "What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace?  God
         forbid.


         16. "Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are
         to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

         17.  "But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the
         heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.

         18.  "Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

         19.  "I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have
         yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now
         yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.


          20.  "For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.

          21.  "What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of
          those things is death.


          22.  "But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit
          unto holiness, and the end everlasting life."
  Romans 13 - 22.

          We are either an instrument or agent of the devil, of unrighteousness, and of our sin nature
           or we are an instrument or agent of God.  It is like being pregnant: Either you are pregnant
           or you are not.  There is not a middle ground.  It is all about yielding and who we give
           preference.  When you see a "yield sing" on the road, then you are required to make
           sure that you let someone else have the "right of way."  God wants the "right of way"
           or His way over our own way in our lives.  We are free from the devil, our sinful nature,
           and its overwhelming power to suck us into its grip.  It seems, at times, that it is easy to
           yield or to give preference to our own lusts.  Jesus has made us free.  As we submit to
           Him, then we have accomplished the first step in the 3d LIBERATOR.

            In Deuteronomy 30:11-20 we are told to choose "life" and to love God, and the rewards
            are being blessed.  (You can read these scriptures.  They are powerful.)

             Joshua, in the Old Testament, challenged God's people to leave the influences of the
             world and serve God.  Joshua said he was serving God and putting Him first.

             14.  "Now therefore fear the Lord, and serve Him in sincerity and in truth: and put away
              the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and
              serve ye the Lord.


              15.  "And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will
              serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the
              flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house,
              we will serve the Lord."
Joshua 24:14 - 15

              Jesus said, Not my will, but Yours be done (See Luke 22:42). Jesus was committed, as
              our example to follow the voice and the Word of His Father.

              A significant part of the Lord's prayer is for His Kingdom to come, and for His will
              be done.  Luke 11:2

              GOAL:  I want to walk in righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.  (See
              Romans 14:17).
