Why Is Deliverance Ministry Not Discussed in Churches Today?

There are 3 common barriers that keep believers/churches from fully embracing deliverance.
- Confusion
- Fear
- Unnecessary Stigma

How Would Someone Know If They Have Demonic Influences in Their Life?

It is not always obvious.
God can reveal it to us through His Word, the Holy Spirit, a dream, or a prophetic word.
The gift of the spirit, discerning of spirits, can help us supernaturally discern when something is demonic versus natural.
There could be a demonic manifestation. When a demon begins to manifest, it starts to show itself in a more obvious way (physical pain, speaking through you, convulsions, etc.).
Natural discernment and understanding how deliverance works.
Natural discernment recognizes bondage, oppression and doors that may have been opened to the enemy.

Telling the Difference Between Physical Sickness and Demonic Oppression.

The Bible tells us that there is a spirit of infirmity.
Not every sickness is caused by a demon, but it can be.
If a pain begins to move around your body or the pain increases as people are praying for healing over you, that could be a demon.
When symptoms are mysterious and doctors struggle to diagnose the issue, it could be a spiritual issue.
When there is a generational history of illness, that could indicate that it is spiritual.

Practical Ways to Cast Out Demons

Every single believer has the authority to cast out demons.
Jesus paid the price for our deliverance.
It is important to make sure that your heart is yielded to God and that you are truly submitted to Him.
Repent of sin, close the doors to the enemy, resist the devil and he will flee from you.

Deliverance from Addiction and Sexual Sin

Genuine, deep repentance is critical for freedom.
Repentance is an internal change that leads to an external change.
Recognize the sin for what it is and how it grieves the heart of God.
Cast out any unclean spirits that are keeping you in bondage.

Testimonies

A man was set free from trauma, pornography addiction, and same sex attraction.
A woman was set free from depression and suicidal thoughts.

Encouragement for Parents

It is important to have a mindset that sees children as a blessing from God.
Jesus valued children, so it is important to value them and treat them as real people.
Children can truly know God and encounter Him at a young age.
Cultivate an environment that as God encounters your children, you can talk with them about it.
Pray and intercede for your children.
Lead by example.
Create opportunities for your children to know and encounter God.
There is no junior Holy Spirit. Children can be baptized in the Holy Spirit at a very young age.
Allow your children to minister.

Being Baptized in the Holy Spirit

Every true believer has the Holy Spirit dwelling inside of them.
We can be empowered by the Holy Spirit to fulfill our callings in Christ and minister to others.
When a person is baptized in the Holy Spirit, they receive the gifts of the Spirit.
Speaking in tongues is done through the Holy Spirit’s enablement.
