Notes on:
Spiritual Warfare: Deliverance Ministry Perspective
Who are we fighting? Matt 12:43
Satan is not "all knowing."
Spirits are who we battle. They have wills, minds, emotions, they get tired. Jesus said when a spirit comes out of a man, he goes about seeking rest. Jesus gave us authority over them.
They communicate between themselves. They have a plan to destroy us. They have power, but don't have authority. We must fight.
One of the main battlefields is our thoughts. Eventually, we adopt these thoughts as our own.
3 ways to fight.
1. Driving them out, the deliverance ministry
2. Resisting
3. Binding spirits
1. Deliverance
Tell them to go in the Name of Jesus
How do you know someone needs deliverance? When they have demonic oppression on you which prevents you from fulfilling your call, or other things you feel helpless to do. Any place where you can't get the victory. It is not a "one time thing."
Can you do "deliverance" on someone who doesn't want it? No, Jesus healed and delivered those who CAME to Him.
The deliverance ministry should be in every church.
2. Resisting spirits, James 4:3.
You can tell it is the devil by the ungoddly thoughts you have.
Demons will throw thoughts at you, trying to get you into agreement with them... for your destruction. Take those thoughts captive.
Prayer and Praise are like • fingernails on a chalk board" to the devil. Sometimes, the enemy will remind you of things in the past in order to open doors back up.
Binding:
People talk about how they hate going to work because of all the people with evil spirits. We can bind the
spirits around them and loose the things we want to see in operation. MT 16.19
We can bind up "word cursing, negative casting" conversations when at work or dinner. Example: I bind up every spirit of _(negative, mumering, complaining, bitterness, resentment, anger in ___ (name the person out loud) in the name and blood of Jesus Christ, and loose what you want to see in them, love, joy, peace, goodness, kindness,
These spirits are shut down for a period of time. We are not driving them out. We are binding them from operating in that person, but that person has a free will and you may have to bind them again.
For a family member that needs saved, bind up the spirit, and loose the Holy Spirit, do it by faith and do it consistently and persistently cause spirits can be loosed again.
Go to a church that does deliverance.
Many don't even know about deliverance.
