What we have been running into is that there are many people out there who need DELIVERANCE FROM DELIVERANCE MINISTRIES—– FOR THERE IS MUCH “QUACKERY AND NONSENSE” GOING ON. Uninformed deliverance workers may be the root cause of the severity of your present bondage and/or torment. It is a sin and a shame!!! Deliverance from deliverance is what you need.
The purpose of ministering deliverance is to set free those who are in bondage. As Jesus was sent forth to preach deliverance to the captives (Luke 4:18, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to… preach deliverance to the captives…”), so we are also sent out (John 20:21, “Then said Jesus to them… as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.”) to do the works He did (John 14:12, “He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also…”), and this includes casting out of devils (Matthew 10:8).
The ministry of deliverance is about bringing spiritual victory and freedom to those who are in bondage to devils and demons. It doesn’t matter what you call it (demonized, possessed, oppressed, etc.), if you are in demonic bondage, whether you need to tear down a stronghold, break up a legal ground, cast a demon out, or all three… it’s still deliverance, because it’s setting the captives free. There are 5 important elements of this ministry. I train my deliverance coaches to be knowledgeable of all 5 elements so that they are prepared to address them without hesitation:
Casting Down Imaginations by Receiving Truth: Setting captives free is more about getting them to receive the truth than it is about commanding demons to come out. This is a grave mistake that causes a lot of people to walk away from a deliverance still in bondage. There is more to it than simply casting out demons. In Luke 9:42, we are told a story of how Jesus not only rebuked demons in a boy who was mentally affected by evil spirits, but also is said to have healed the boy. There is no mention of the boy needing physical healing, but if you look up the word healed in this passage, one of the meanings is, “to free from errors and sins…”, which is likely what Jesus did with the boy, Jesus removed the boy’s legal grounds (sins) and freed him from errors (strongholds). This case of deliverance required more than just rebuking demons!
Tearing down strongholds: Strongholds are people, places and things that have obtained control in your life, one way or the other and are often set up and nurtured by demons through lies and deception. For example, if you were raped or had a frightening, unexpected car accident, a stronghold of fear was established IN you by a demon. Demons thrive on strongholds, and use them to hang around a person and torment them. Failing to tear down strongholds can hold up a deliverance and prevent us from walking in complete spiritual freedom.
Removing legal rights: Legal rights are things that give demons permission to enter and remain in our lives. Before demons can often be cast out, it is important to address and remove these legal rights. Failing to remove legal rights can hold up a deliverance very easily. Demons receive legal rights not so much because of what other’s have done but because of what YOU ignorantly did to invite them in. You need to understand HOW you invited them in BEFORE an entity is confronted, or the demon will trick you into inviting him back!
Closing Demonic Doorways: Demons enter the soul through 7 doorways or gateways. We determine through a process of inquiry, which doorway is open: the crown, the third eye, the throat, the heart, the navel, the sex organs or the anus. We also determine what demons need to be cast out.
Casting out the demons: This requires two basic elements: knowledge of your authority in Christ Jesus over the powers of the enemy, and faith in that authority. Demons are cast out with a simple spoken command, such as, “I command the spirit of fear to come out in the name of Jesus!” We ask those we work with to complete a deliverance questionnaire called the DAF, Deliverance Assessment Form that will give us an overview of their background, the bondages they are facing, the root or source of their problem, as well as legal grounds, strongholds and any particular spirits that need to be addressed. Then we begin to work with them to break up any legal grounds, and tear down any strongholds together we see in your life and of course, cast out any demons that need to go. If it takes more than 15 minutes, which includes the prayer, to cast out a demon, either there is no demon there or the preliminary work was not completely done. If you have rolled around the floor in a deliverance session for hours or days, all you did was pick up MORE demons.
There are also times when even the most talented people do not know how to move beyond certain obstacles on their own. Coping skills can become overwhelmed and faith can be weakened. This happens to all of us at some point in our spiritual walk. Yet it takes a special kind of courage for you to seek help now. You don’t have to wait another minute to receive the help you deserve! For years, I provided face-to-face therapy sessions within my own community. However, I must say that the convenience and availability of phone counseling and deliverance mentoring is convenient for me also in numerous ways.. Since December 2002, I have offered online counseling and therapy by phone and have been astounded at the results clients have achieved. You too can be a true believer in the benefits of phone counseling and mentoring sessions.
Phone counseling, coaching, training or mentoring are each available to help you with your problem and there are many other benefits to consider as well. So—
