CHAPTER ONE

THE ROOT

I saiah 2:2 says," And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it."

Matthew 5:14-16 says, "Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."

The major fact in the two Scriptures mentioned above is that God wants you to be at the top. The top place for the child of God is not just a possibility to desire but a responsibility to accept and pursue. The Bible says, "You shall be the head and not the tail. You shall be above only and not beneath" (Deuteronomy 28:13).These two positions are available. There are some people who like the bottom region, while there are some who like the middle position, which is a very dangerous position called, "the mediocre." And we have the top position, where God really wants you to be.

You can be a top businessman or a bottom businessman, a top academician or a bottom academician, or a mediocre, meaning, you are neither at the top nor at the bottom but playing somewhere at the middle.

The top place is God's desire for us to accept and pursue. But there is a problem: the roots. That is why deep deliverance is very necessary. It is the battle against root problems. Anytime you, as a believer, see a problem, the first thing your mind should run to very quickly is a tree. A tree has roots, stems, branches, leaves and flowers.

ADDRESS THE ROOT

The major issue with solving problems is that the roots are either unknown or unaddressed. A certain lady, at the age of 37, discovered that her father was not her father. The person she thought was her father was not her father. Her mother committed adultery, got pregnant and tried to terminate the pregnancy, but she could not. On the day of delivery, she almost died. That was when she confessed to her husband. That was how this lady was born and raised under a father she thought was her father, but was not.

How did this happen? When she began to pray to know the root of her problem, she began to ask the question, "Why?" As she was praying at the MFM Prayer City, her phone rang and it was her mother on the phone. She said, "I have offended you. I have something to confess to you. This was how you were born. So, continue your prayers. The Lord will deliver you." She did not know that was the root of what she was battling. So the major issue with our problems, sometimes, is failure to address the root.

In deliverance, spirits that are not deeply-rooted will leave easily. Once the deliverance minister says, "Get out, in the name of Jesus," they will get out. But the deeply-rooted spirits will hear the command, "Get out, in the name of Jesus," and begin to query the minister. They will say, "Why? Were you there when they handed her over? I am not going." So, the battle starts between the deliverance minister and this spirit because it is deeply-rooted. When prayers get to a certain level, what is hiding inside people's lives will come out. Then you will know that human beings really are just boasting. It is all vanity upon vanity, all is vanity.

This is a very serious problem. I have seen very sophisticated ladies, who have serious issues due to root battles. A certain lady came all .the way from the United Kingdom to see me. She could not find a husband and her work was not going well. She spoke very good British English, very sophisticated, but by the time prayer got to a level, she began to move about on her head, and as we were trying to save her from using her head to hit things, her mouth opened, and a deep Ijesha language (a Nigerian language) started coming from her. This was somebody who had never been there. Her parents were from there, but they never took her there. They never spoke the language at home, but when prayer got to where it should, the evil spirits had no option but to react, saying, "Why are you troubling our lives? We have been there for a long time. We tried to prevent her from coming here, but she still came. Why did you come here? We said you should not come."

This is what happens with deeply-rooted problems. Those. that are not deeply rooted can be thrown off easily. But stronger and heavily entrenched spirits will require more time and effort to dislodge. The very stubborn, aggressive, and tenacious ones may require the help of other believers. That is why we advise people to ensure that sharp objects around them are removed if they want to carry out personal deliverance at home. Make sure you do not stay where you can bang your head on the floor because anything can happen.

We have the testimony of a Canadian woman, who was praying at home with one of our books. She smote her tummy as she prayed, and all of a sudden she began to vomit what she had eaten that she did not know about. There are actually two stomachs and there are two reproductive organs. There is a physical one and a spiritual counterpart of the organs of the body. The food, which the enemy feeds people with in the dream does not go to the physical stomach. It is stored in the spiritual one, and it could be stored there for fifty, sixty or seventy years, troubling the person. Until you get to the root of the matter and you are able to identify the problem which is evil consumption, and begin to address it, the problem will not leave you.
