Deliverance In Spiritual Warfare

Much is being written on the subject of demons. Few have dealt extensively with the practical aspects of deliverance from demon spirits. It is from this practical viewpoint that these workshops are presented. The Church is fast awakening to the need for this ministry. It represents one facet of the restoration work of the Holy Ghost written in the Church today.

These workshops are also a trumpet call to total spiritual- warfare.

The Church and the believer must get beyond the concept of personal deliverances and to the concept of spiritual warfare against the spiritual potentates who are called “the spiritual hosts of wickedness in heavenly places” (Ephesians 6:12).

The Ministry of Healing and Restoration and the Ministry of Deliverance belong to the Church. It should go right along with preaching, teaching, singing, praying, and worshiping in the Great Commission as recorded:

“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen” (Matthew 28:18-20).

The casting out of demons is a vital part of that which Jesus commanded His disciples. In Mark's account of the Commission he quotes Jesus as saying, “and these signs shall follow them that believe; in My Name shall they cast out devil” (Mark 16:17).

Notice the plural pronouns "Them and They." This suggests that it is a Ministry of the Church rather than of the individual. Today the Holy Ghost is bringing forth a crash Ministry of Deliverance in The Church because it has been so long neglected and the Church must have it to be prepared for the coming of the Lord.
