Looking For a Deliverance Minister
his article will be serving as another
follow-up to my article titled "4 Levels of
Spiritual Warfare Against Demonic Spirits." If by
chance you have come across this article before reading
the above article, it would be my recommendation that you
first read that article so you know exactly what I am
talking about in this article.
In the area of having to deal direct with demonic spirits,
you have one of two basic strategies to try and take against
them if they have launched any kind of a direct attack against
either you or anyone else you may know.
- If demons are personally attacking you, whether it be
from an outside position or from the inside of your being,
you can either attempt to do battle directly against them
all on your own by way of a self-deliverance, or you can
seek the services of another anointed minister who really
knows how to do an actual deliverance to help you through
it.
- If you know someone else who has demons attacking them,
and they do not have the knowledge or boldness to be able
to deal directly with the demons on their own, then again,
you have one of two possible options. You can either
attempt to cast the demons off of your friend all on your
own, or you can seek the services of an anointed minister
who really knows how to do an actual deliverance.
In some of these cases, you can attempt to do a
self-deliverance for yourself if they are attempting to attack
you direct, or you can do it for another friend or close loved
one if they are too afraid to do it for themselves. We have
several good cases in the Testimonies and Spiritual Warfare section of our
site of people taking on demons all by themselves and
successfully being able to cast them off of them.
All Christians have the Holy Spirit on the inside of them
and they thus have His supernatural power available to them to
be able to directly engage with any demonic spirits that may be
attacking them. Demons are actually cast out of people by the
power of the Holy Spirit.
But though we have God's power available to us through the
Holy Spirit to be able to directly engage and defeat any
demonic spirits, we still need some basic knowledge in this
area before we can directly engage with them. You can give a
potential soldier a gun, but if you do not show him how to
actually use the gun, it will be of no use for him if he is
ever faced with real life battle situation where he will
actually have to try and use it.
We have God's power and anointing available to us through
the Holy Spirit, but we still have to learn how to use that
power, especially in this specific area of spiritual warfare.
There are rules to any game, and the war games that are being
played in the spiritual realm with demons are no
exceptions.
The more knowledge and understanding you have on how to
actually play this spiritual war game, the better equipped you
will be to actually be able to do it in a real live battle
situation. Many Christians do not have basic working knowledge
on exactly how to deal directly with demonic spirits because
many of the churches are still too afraid to talk about it and
deal with the actual reality of it.
As a result, you have some in the flock who are getting torn
apart by these demons in their personal lives and they are too
afraid to tell anyone about it for fear they will not
believed.
Many pastors are either too afraid or too apathetic to try
and learn how to do this for themselves, as they either have
their own fears of dealing direct with demonic spirits, or they
have a more liberal point of view where they do not think
demons really have that much of an active role in most people's
lives today. As a result, Satan and his horde of demons are
getting away with cold-blooded murder and mayhem among many in
the Body of Christ.
God has already told us in His Word that His people will
perish and go into captivity for having lack of knowledge in
certain areas. And the area of spiritual warfare of having to
deal direct with demonic spirits is definitely one of those
areas where people are going into some type of captivity or
actually perishing as a result of not knowing how to directly
deal with the demonic forces that have invaded their lives.
All you have to do is watch the daily local and world news
to see how active Satan and his demons really are in the world
today. So many people are coming under direct demonic influence
to do some of the horrible things they end up doing. And in
most of these cases, they have no idea that demons are really
operating behind the scenes trying to get them to do the
horrible acts they end up committing.
These people are sheep being led right into major
slaughterhouses - all because they do not have basic
fundamental knowledge of the war games that are being played
out behind the scenes in the spiritual realm. Or if they did,
they would not know how to directly engage with these dark
demonic forces as a true good soldier of Jesus Christ.
In this article, I want to deal with one specific battle
strategy that you can use if demons have either invaded your
own personal life or someone else you may know. Though the
Bible tells us that God wants all of His people to learn how to
become good soldiers of Jesus Christ and learn how to engage
with the enemy - whether that enemy be human or demonic - the
real reality is that many Christians are never going to learn
how to actually do this.
The reason being is that they are either too afraid, too
apathetic or too caught up in the world to even care enough to
want to learn how to do it. With many in the Body of Christ
falling into this apathetic or fearful camp, we have a major
shortage of Christians who really know how to directly engage
with demonic spirits once they launch an all-out full scale
attack on someone and their life.
Bottom line - if you are too afraid and not confident
enough in your own knowledge base in the Lord to actually
be able to directly engage with any demons who may either
be attacking you or someone else you may know - then what
you can do next is to move into this particular battle
strategy where you will then seek to find a good
deliverance minister who will know how to get the job done
for you.
I simply cannot stress enough how powerful this
particular battle strategy is, and how effective and
successful it will be if you will spend some good quality
time seeking and searching for a good deliverance minister
who will know how to get the job done for you if you feel
that you cannot do it for yourself or for a close friend or
loved one.
When demons are attacking someone from an outside position,
which is from the outside of their body, it is much easier to
deal with them and drive them off of them as versus when they
have actually entered the inside of a person's body and have
become deeply entrenched in there. If a person has given demons
serious legal rights to actually enter on the inside of them
such as delving into different areas of the occult, you are
going to have a much tougher battle casting them out as versus
if they are just attacking you from the "air" outside of your
body.
The revelation that I want you to take away from this
article is that God Almighty Himself is personally raising up
more of His good soldiers to be able to do actual deliverances
- especially on some of the heavier cases where demons are more
deeply entrenched on the inside of someone's body.
What this means is that there is help and deliverance out
there for you if you will be willing to seek and search for
these anointed soldiers who will know how to get the job done
for you. Some of these soldiers will be more anointed and more
skilled in this area than others will. Sometimes you may
actually have to try several of them out to find the one who
will have the anointing, the knowledge and the expertise to be
able to get the job fully done for you.
The Battle Strategy of Looking
For a Good Deliverance Minister
Here are 8 basic common sense steps you can take on your end
to try and find a good deliverance minister who will know how
to actually get the job done for you with a complete victory
and deliverance.
Though all of these steps are very simple and very basic
common sense steps, what I have found from personal experience
is that many Christians have never thought deep enough or hard
enough to try and take any of these actual steps. As a result,
either they, or someone else they may know who is battling
these demons, will continue to remain in bondage, torment and
under major attack from these demons.
Again, there is help and deliverance out there for you if
you will just spend some good quality time seeking to find that
one good Christian soldier who will have the knowledge and the
anointing to be able to get the job done for you.
1. Have the Boldness and Courage to Take the Assignment
On
The first thing you will need to do is to first determine if
you think you really have demons attacking either you or
someone else you know. I'm going to do another article showing
you what some of the signs are that will help you discern
whether or not it is really demons attacking someone.
But if you think that the source of your problems is really
demonic, then your first major step is to have the boldness and
the courage to take this deliverance assignment on. And this is
exactly what this will be - a deliverance assignment direct
from the Lord Himself - whether it be directly for yourself or
someone else you may be helping.
The reason you will need boldness and courage is because of
the criticism and ridicule you may get from others, which will
include other Christians who do not have much knowledge or
understanding of this part of the walk with the Lord.
Many psychologists, psychiatrists and medical doctors are in
the secular camp and they will all have a hard time in
believing that demons are really causing some of the mental
problems someone may be having. Your friends, your family, the
medical community, other Christians, and possibly even the
pastor of your own church may try and dissuade you from seeking
out this course of action, telling you that drugs and
psychological treatment will work much better and that you do
not need to try this more extreme approach.
But if you have a strong conviction in your heart
from the Holy Spirit that what you are dealing with is
definitely demonic, then I would draw your battle line in
the sand, set your face like flint, and summon up the
boldness and courage to take this deliverance assignment on
- whether it be directly for yourself or someone else you
are wanting to help - and proceed forward with the
intentions that you will find someone who is anointed and
knowledgeable enough in this area who will be able to get
the job done for you with a complete victory and
deliverance.
2. Ask The Lord to Lead You to the Right Deliverance
Minister
Once you have received a good release from the Holy Spirit
to be taking on this kind of heavier deliverance assignment,
then the next step would be to go direct to God the Father in
prayer and ask Him to lead you by His Holy Spirit to the
deliverance minister that He will want you to work with.
God knows the exact person you will need to make contact
with and He will know exactly how to lead you to be able to
find this person. If you try and find this person all on your
own without first asking God to help guide you, you could end
up trying to find a needle in a haystack due to all of the
different churches and denominations that are out there.
If God is in the business of raising up these mighty
deliverance warriors, then He will make sure to lead you to the
one that He will want you to work with - whether it be yourself
or someone else that you are helping.
3. Plead the Blood of Jesus On You and Everyone Involved
For Protection
I do not want to scare you with this next part, but it will
be much better to be safe than sorry on this next step. This
next step will entail that you plead the Blood of Jesus on you,
on the one who will need the deliverance if it is not yourself,
and on anyone else who may be working with you to set up this
deliverance.
The reason being is that the demons, once they see that you
are going to try and find help and deliverance for someone they
are attacking, will try and stop you from doing it if they can
get away with it. In the Spiritual Warfare section of our
site, we have an article titled "
How to Plead the Blood of Jesus for Deliverance and
Protection."
It would be my strong recommendation that you plead the
Blood of Jesus as instructed in that article to give you a full
protective covering from any possible attacks from these
demons. Once you go onto this kind of a deliverance mission,
you are stepping out into a real live spiritual battlefield and
you will need God's full protection on you to be able to tread
safely through this battlefield.
In that same section, we also have an article titled
"Battle Verses of the
Bible." Feel free to take any of the battle verses in that
article and incorporate those verses into the battle prayer
where you will plead the Blood of Jesus on you for His
protection. Quote these battle verses back to the Lord and tell
Him that you are going to stand strong and firm on the promises
and power of those verses.
Here is sample battle prayer you can pray on you
incorporating all of the above in it. I am going to use the
example that you are seeking a deliverance minister for someone
else you may know who has demons attacking them. What you will
be doing is pleading the Blood of Jesus on your own body, soul,
spirit, your house, your car, the person who will need the
deliverance, and anyone else who will be helping you to set up
the deliverance.
Both your body, house, and car could be subject to possible
demonic attacks. By pleading the Blood of Jesus over both
yourself, your house and your car, you will go a way in keeping
yourself properly protected from any demons who may try and
stop you from getting this deliverance.
Here is a good sample battle prayer you can use to get God's
full protection on you before you step out onto the battlefield
to try and find an anointed deliverance minister to help
deliver you or someone else you may be helping:
"Father,
In the name of Jesus, I approach Your throne of grace
with a very special request. Father, in Jesus name, I come
before you on behalf of my friend Robert. I believe that my
friend Robert has demons operating on the inside of
him.
I do not believe Robert has the courage, the boldness
or the knowledge to be able to cast these demons out of
himself. I believe that these demons are deeply entrenched
on the inside of him due to the legal rights he has given
them.
Father, Robert wants to be delivered from these
demons, but neither he nor myself feel we have the
appropriate kind of knowledge to deal with this kind of a
heavier case. We know you have raised up other good
soldiers in Jesus Christ to be able to do this kind of a
heavier deliverance.
Father, in Jesus name, I ask that you take this
deliverance case up for us and lead us to the anointed
soldier who will be able to do this deliverance for us. You
know exactly who this person will be and how to lead us to
be able to meet with either him or her. Father, in Jesus
name, I ask that You lead us directly to this anointed
soldier by Your Holy Spirit. From here on in we will go
into a major seeking mode to find this anointed
soldier.
Father, I know that the demons who are attacking
Robert may try and stop us from finding this person.
Father, in Jesus name, I now want to take one more step to
make sure that these demons cannot attack us in anyway to
try and stop us from finding this deliverance
minister.
Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, I now plead the
Blood of Your Son Jesus Christ over my body, over my soul,
over my spirit, over my personal car and over my entire
house. I plead the Blood of Jesus against any demons that
may attempt to attack either myself or Robert. I plead the
Blood of Jesus against any people who may try and stop this
deliverance from occurring.
Father, in Jesus name, I also plead the Blood of
Jesus over Robert's body, over Robert's soul and over
Robert's spirit and I ask that you give the two of us
perfect safe passage to where this anointed deliverance
minister is located. I ask that you keep these demons from
attacking us, our houses, our cars or anyone else who may
end up being involved in setting up this
deliverance.
Father, I have full faith, full trust and full belief
in You that You will take up this battle for us and lead us
to the person who will be able to properly operate under
Your anointing to be able to set Robert completely free
from these demons. Your Word has told us that Your Son
Jesus has come to set the captives free. Father, in Jesus
name, I ask that You set this captive free from these foul
demons who are now holding him captive. Thank You
Father.
Thank You Jesus."
This would be the basic gist of how to word this kind of
prayer to God the Father.
As far as frequency as to how often and how to stay with
this kind of battle prayer, i would recommend that you do some
semblance of this type of battle prayer on a daily basis until
you get the job done, since you are stepping out onto a real
live spiritual battlefield between the forces of good and
evil.
Just as a football player will never forget to put his
helmet on every time he steps out onto the football field, in
the same way you need to apply your spiritual armor every
single time you step out onto a real live spiritual
battlefield.
4. Start With the Pastor of Your Own Church
In this area of spiritual warfare where you are dealing with
a heavier case of demonic invasion, I believe that you should
go through the proper chain-of-command in the Body to start out
with. What this means is that you should first start out by
approaching the pastor of your own church if you be to a good
local church.
God is raising up more of His pastors in this area of
spiritual warfare. If your pastor knows how to do an actual
deliverance, then you will not have to go into a major seeking
mode to try and find someone else outside of your church. Your
pastor, or one of his anointed assistants should then be able
to get the job done for you.
If however your pastor will not or cannot not do this for
you for whatever his personal reasons may be, then I would ask
him if he knows of anyone else in his congregation who is
knowledgeable and anointed enough to be able to do this for
you.
If he does not know of anyone within his church, then I
would ask him if he knows of anyone from another church who
will know how to do a deliverance. If he does not know of
anyone else from any other churches in your area, then you will
now have to move to the next step.
5. Make a List and Call All of the Other Churches in Your
Area
If the pastor of your church cannot or will not help you
with a deliverance, then your next step will be to get on the
internet and/or in your local phone book and make a list of all
of the main non-denominational and charismatic churches in your
area.
I would first start off with some of the more main
non-denominational and charismatic churches as versus some of
the more traditional ones since they are more open to operating
in the gifts of the Holy Spirit and walking and operating in
the supernatural realm with the Lord. Some of the older more
traditional churches will not be as open to this kind of
heavier supernatural activity with the Lord as some of the more
non-denominational and charismatic churches will be.
After you make a list of all of the available churches in
your area, then I would start calling each one of them and talk
with either the pastor himself or one of his assistants.
Explain your problem to them and then ask them if they know how
to do an actual deliverance. If they do, then ask them if you
can make an appointment to meet with them in person so you can
bring the person who will need the deliverance if it is not
yourself needing the deliverance.
If they cannot or will not do any type of deliverance work
for you, then ask them if they know of anyone else, either in
their own church, or anyone else from another church who could
get the job done for you.
If no luck with any of those options, then call the next one
on the list and keep calling until you find someone who knows
how to do one and who will be willing to meet with you to
actually give it a try.
6. Keep Trying Until You Find the Minister Who Can Get the
Job Done For You
Depending on where you may live at, you may have to go into
a major seeking mode to find the right person who will be able
to get the job done for you. But do not give up - no matter how
it takes!
If you have turned this matter over to the Lord, and you
have a good release from the Holy Spirit to be going on this
kind of seeking journey, keep at it until you find the person
the Lord will want you to work with. Sooner or later, you will
find the right person who will be anointed enough and
knowledgeable enough to be able to take on your heavier
case.
7. Ask All of Your Other Christian Friends
Another good source will be all of the Christian friends and
acquaintances you may have. One or two of them may know someone
from another church or from another denomination that will know
how to do this for you. All it will take is one person to lead
you to that right person. Leave no stone unturned in your
seeking of this anointed deliverance minister.
8. Be Open and Sensitive to Any Specific Leadings From the
Holy Spirit
Once you embark on this seeking journey to find a good
anointed deliverance minister, make sure you always keep your
radars up and keep yourself open and sensitive to any specific
leadings that you may receive from the Holy Spirit.
If you find any churches "jumping off the page" at
you as you are browsing through the internet and local phone
book, make sure that you mark those ones down and call the
pastors at those churches. The Holy Spirit could possibly
"quicken" the church to you that will have the minister
that will be able to get the job done for you.
Personal Testimony
The following testimony is one that occurred through our
ministry about 4-5 months ago. This testimony is a perfect
example of a woman who did most of the above steps and was able
to get her roommate delivered from some really nasty demons
that had entered on the inside of her as a result of her direct
involvement with an area of the occult.
This was a very heavy demonic case as you will see as I
recount exactly what had occurred between the two of us and her
roommate.
1. I had received a personal email through our
website from a woman who lived on the West Coast. She wrote in
pleading for help with an extreme emergency situation that she
was dealing with.
Long story short, she had a roommate who was a Mexican
woman. This Mexican woman had drawn demons on the inside of her
as a direct result of being involved in some type of white
occult magic. Her roommate was a born-again Christian, but she
apparently had drawn the demons into her as a result of
continuing to engage in this occult activity.
In certain areas of the occult, demons will try to play good
cop and bad cop, and try to convince you that there is a good
type of white magic as versus a bad type of black magic. But
the white magic is just as deadly and just as much of an
abomination before the Lord as the black magic is. There is no
difference in the eyes of the Lord with all of this. Any
supernatural powers you receive from experimenting with any
form of white magic is all coming direct from demonic spirits
and thus cannot be accepted in any way, shape or form.
This woman had actually developed some psychic powers as a
result of her continuing involvement in this area of the
occult, with all of her psychic powers obviously coming from
these demonic spirits. The mistake this woman had made was that
she was trying to use this supernatural power for good, but
what she did not realize was that the source of her
supernatural powers was coming directly from demons, and it was
only going to be a matter of time before these demons would
move in for an all-out attack.
What had recently started to happen was that the demons were
now starting to violently manifest in her. She said there were
times her roommate was literally speaking out in a man's voice.
Her roommate was threatening to kill both herself and her
roommate. The woman writing into us was not only scared for her
own self, but she was also afraid for her friend's life since
she was also threatening to kill herself.
She had taken her friend into the hospital for some
psychiatric testing, but they could not find anything medically
wrong with her. She was sure that her roommate really had
demons on the inside of her and that they were going do their
best to try and kill the both of them.
2. The first thing she had asked me was whether
or not I could draw up a special battle prayer like I had done
with some of the other people in our Testimonies and Spiritual
Warfare section of our site. She wanted to try and take the
demons on herself.
However, after hearing all of the facts of her situation, I
did not feel that was the wisest course to take. I did not feel
she had the experience or the knowledge to be taking on this
kind of an extra-heavy case. Her roommate had demons on the
inside of her, and with these demons being directly linked to
her involvement with the occult, there was a very good
possibility that these demons were of a more evil and
higher-ranking type in Satan's hierarchy.
Many deliverance ministers have found from real life battle
experiences with demons, that some of the meaner, more evil and
stronger demons in Satan's realm are those who are linked to
the different areas of the occult. This is why it is so
extremely dangerous for anyone, and especially Christians, to
be dabbling or experimenting with any area of the occult.
After hearing how deeply entrenched these demons were on the
inside of her friend, I knew the only possible solution to this
problem was that she would have to seek out a good anointed
deliverance minister in her area that would be able to do this
deliverance for her.
3. The first thing I asked her was if she had
tried to have the deliverance done by the pastor of her own
church. She said that she had already tried that approach, but
for whatever reason, her pastor was not able to cast the demons
out of her friend.
I then told her that she would have to go into a major
seeking mode to find a good anointed deliverance minister in
her area that would be able to cast these demons out of her
friend for good. I told her to check her into her local phone
book and the internet and to start calling every good
non-denominational and charismatic church in her area. I told
her to keep at it until she found the one that would be able to
get the job done for her.
I also told her to make a list of the legal rights that
these demons were operating on so the deliverance minister
would know exactly what he had to deal with.
4. She then found a second deliverance
minister, but he too was not able to get the job done. This
particular minister then tried to solicit money from her, and
then told her that her friend needed to see a psychiatrist when
he could not get the job done for her. She left this minister
with a very bad taste in her mouth with the way that he had
personally handled her situation.
She then found a third minister through the internet, and
this minister was the one that was able to get the job done for
them. She wrote me back and stated that the deliverance was
very dramatic and powerful. She said the demons finally left by
way of her literally vomiting them out of her, which is
sometimes how they are expelled out of a person.
She said that after the demons had been cast out of her
friend, that her face was shining and that a radiance and glow
had emanated out of her face. This shining glow and emanation
was the Holy Spirit Himself, who had moved up into her soul and
filled her with His actual presence to let everyone know that
the deliverance had been successful. She said her roommate felt
the demons leave her and she knew that they were no longer on
the inside of her body.
5. What was so touching and so powerful about
this personal testimony was the fact that this woman's roommate
was willing to take up this deliverance assignment for her
until she found the right minister that would be able to get
the job done for her.
Many people might have given up on the first two attempts,
but this woman did not! She was determined to find the right
anointed minister that would be able to do get the job done for
them and sure enough, God led them to the right minister! As a
result of this woman's continued persistence, her friend ends
up receiving a full and complete deliverance from some really
nasty and foul demons.
What this woman did for her roommate can be done by anyone
of you if you are dealing with this same kind of
predicament.
As I stated at the top of this article, some ministers will
be more anointed and more knowledgeable in this area than some
other ones will. As a result, you may have to try more than one
of them out if you have a heavier case like this one turned out
to be.
Conclusion
Again, if either you or anyone else you know is battling
attacks from real live demonic spirits, do not be afraid to
seek out a good anointed minister to take a look at your case
to see if this is what the real problem is.
If the minister determines that you really are dealing with
a true demonic attack, then he will be able to set either you,
or someone else you may be helping, totally free from these
demons. You do not have to continue to remain in bondage and
under torment from these demons.
There are true anointed Christian soldiers out there who can
help deliver either you or anyone else you may be helping if
you are not confident enough, knowledgeable enough or bold
enough to try it on your own. Do not be afraid to admit your
shortcomings in this area. Seek - and you will find the right
anointed Christian minister who will be able to set you
free.
Per our article "Prayer Secret
#5 - Ask, Seek, Knock" - this type of adverse situation is
a perfect example where you will have to put all three of these
conditions into actual operation.
You will first have to ask God to take this
assignment up for you and lead you to the right minister that
will be able to successfully cast these demons out of your
life. You will then have to start seeking and
knocking before you can find that right minister.
But if you continue to seek and knock like the
woman did in the above testimony - you will eventually find
that right deliverance minister and he, through the power of
the Holy Spirit operating in him, will then be able to set
either you or your friend totally and completely free from
these demons if you are willing to properly work with him
during the deliverance process.
As we head further into end time waters, things are really
going to heat up. Not only are we going to have to deal with
wars and the rumors of wars, but we also going to have to put
up with demons ramping up their attacks on peoples and
countries. And when demons come in on individual people, only
the supernatural power of our Lord is going to be able to set
these people free.
As a result, God will be one step ahead of all this and He
will have the right amount of anointed Christian soldiers in
place who will know how to deal with these direct demonic
attacks. Your job will be to find who these people are and seek
them out if either you or anyone else you may know comes under
any kind of direct demonic attack.
Ask, seek and knock - and
the Lord will lead you to the right Christian soldier who will
be able to set you free.
