GENERAL
There are two basic ways to get rid of demons. One way
is to exorcise the demon. Exorcism is the method used
by those who follow Satan. The other way is
DELIVERANCE. DELIVERANCE is the method used by those
who follow JESUS CHRIST, Son of Almighty God. If there
is anything in a persons life that they cannot control
and it is controlled by Satan, then the person is
demon.- possessed in that area of their life. We have
met few people that are totally demon-possessed in
every area of their life.
Our calling is to be
teachers. The Lord told us to help train an army of
DELIVERANCE workers and ministers as well as the
families to minister to themselves. There are
tremendous fringe benefits to the ministry of helping
your own family. You will see the power of God flow
through you, and signs, wonders and miracles performed
by God in the people you minister to.
EXORCISM
Native doctors and those who follow Satan
(spiritualism, witchcraft, occult and Satan worship)
claim that they can cast out demons. The Devil's
followers cannot cast out demons. These people ask you
to pay for their services or they are looking for
power, drugs, sex or some other gain. A sacrifice may
be even be given to appease the demon. A weaker spirit
is removed and a stronger spirit is substituted. After
exorcism, the person is worse off than before,
although for awhile it may look like there is
improvement. Satan does not give free gifts; he gets
something in return! God is the only one that gives
free gifts through JESUS CHRIST.
ORDINARY
CHRISTIANS
Christians can cast out demons of any rank in
the Mighty Name of JESUS CHRIST (Mark 16:17; Luke
10:17-20). However, there are situations that require
more experience than the ordinary Christian would
have. These situations are where ordinary DELIVERANCE
has not done the job. Here an experienced DELIVERANCE
minister is required. Don't be afraid to get involved
as the Holy Spirit leads you. There are too many
cowardly Christians and Ministers that are afraid to
get involved in this DELIVERANCE which is
controversial and unpopular.
DELIVERANCE
MINISTER
GENERAL
A DELIVERANCE minister is a person God has especially
prepared for this work: teaching, ministry and
counseling. The work of the Gospel is supposed to be
done as a team (I Cor. 3:5-15). Some ministers are
experts at teaching, preaching, pastoring,
administering, organizing, counseling, praying, etc.
Some are experts at DELIVERANCE (I Cor. 12:4-12; Eph.
4:11-12).
We are supposed to
work together, consult together and refer cases to
those we know God has made specialists in certain
areas. In this way everyone is blessed and the Gospel
work advances. The problem is that in a ministry or
church one person wants to be everything. He cannot
cope with all of the problems and things begin to get
out of control. Many people suffer as the result.
Disappointment and frustration overcomes them; they
leave the church and go back into the world.
COMPARISON
WITH JESUS
What about JESUS, didn't He do everything
perfectly? However, JESUS had unlimited measure of the
Holy Spirit - the Seven Spirits of God (John 3:34;
Rev. 4:5 and 5:6). These seven administrations of the
Holy Spirit are:
1. The Spirit of
Jehovah - the knowledge of Divine will, counsel and
power to make the same known to others.
2. The Spirit of
Wisdom - not Word of Wisdom.
3. The Spirit of
Judgement.
4. The Spirit of
Counsel.
5. The Spirit of
Might.
6. The Spirit of
Knowledge of Jehovah - of His nature, attributes and
character.
7. The Fear of
Jehovah (Isa. 11:2-3).
God deals with us
according to the measure of our faith (Rom. 12:3).
CHRIST gives us the Spirit according to His measure
(Eph. 4:7). No one is able to measure up to CHRIST and
be perfect in all ways all of the time. The fact that
a person manifests all of the nine gifts does not
necessarily mean he is walking in full measure of
CHRIST. If you manifest the nine gifts very well and
manifest the nine fruits equally well (Gal. 5:22-24),
then you are nearer to being CHRIST-like.
God knows that we
grow by stages; that is why he scattered the gifts and
ministrations of the Holy Spirit on the church at
large. Within each ministry God has put all that is
necessary to do the job of the Full Gospel according
to Mark 16 if we all work together in the five-fold
ministry.
Preparation For The
Ministry - The minister on whom God has poured the
Spirit of DELIVERANCE from demon-possession needs
preparation:
1. The minister
needs to surrender fully to God and throw open all the
doors and windows of his/her life to the searchlight
of the Holy Spirit. The work of the DELIVERANCE
minister can be a difficult undertaking.
2. The minister
needs to be fully equipped.
3. The minister
needs a good knowledge of the Scriptures and the
Spirit of Understanding.
4. The minister
needs a working knowledge of demons. This can only be
acquired from learning and experience combined.
5. The minister
needs to know how to handle different situations and
types of demons.
6. A lengthy
discussion of DELIVERANCE is found in our DELIVERANCE
Manual which contains four books: Basic DELIVERANCE,
Advanced DELIVERANCE, Mass DELIVERANCE, and How To Do
DELIVERANCE.
Some Advice - For
the person who wants God to use him/her for
DELIVERANCE work among those possessed by evil
spirits, here is some advice:
1. The person
ministering in the area of DELIVERANCE is in a
position of all- out warfare with the forces of evil.
Many have fallen by the wayside because of ignorance
of Bible and of DELIVERANCE, still having many demons
within themselves, women and men ministering by
themselves, being lured by false doctrines, etc.
2. Demons can be
very stubborn and highly seductive. Demons do not
easily come out when they have a right before God to
stay due to unconfessed sin, curses, soul ties, etc.
They can lure the man or woman who is alone into a sex
trap destroying the ministry, their family and others
who are following that leader.
3. Effective weapons
used against ministers are carelessness, pride,
immorality, taking God for granted, spiritual
weakness, and affliction of wife/husband where the
minister refuses to yield to God.
4. DELIVERANCE
ministers should train their families and involve them
in DELIVERANCE work. Husband and wife should minister
together as a team if possible.
