Jesus was interruptible, v. 32 “As they were going away...” v. 32 “And as Jesus passed on from there...” v. 27 “While he was saying these things to them...”v. 18 “Then the disciples of John came to him...” v. 14 “As Jesus passed on from there...” v. 9 “And getting into the boat he crossed over...” v. 1 Think of it like this... experiences ≠ Life Life = experiences 2.

Oppression- this is external pressure, demonic forces seek to oppress us externally. The person has full control of their faculties. Paul’s thorn in the flesh is a great example. Possession- this is internal control. A person loses control of themselves. People open the door to this through occult involvement, witchcraft, astrology, unresolved trauma, habitual sin, unforgiveness and unresolved anger are all examples of open doors. Ephesians 4:26-27 Can a Christian be possessed? I Corinthians 6:19-20 -Ephesians 4:30 I John 4:4 3. There is an unforgivable sin, v. 34 Matthew 12:22-32 Mental worship... 1. Are you interruptible? How do you most often respond? 2. Do you think your experiences will produce the Life you were created for? 3. Are your experiences more your ideas or God’s? 4.
