Deliverance & Healing
WHAT IS DELIVERANCE?
Dictionary definition:
Deliverance (noun): deliverance; plural noun: deliverances. The action of being rescued or set free.
Bible testimonies:
Let’s look at some proof and scenarios where Jesus, set people free and healed them. The ministry of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, not only came to be an atonement and sacrifice for our sins, He also came to reveal the heart of the Father in Heaven and to do the will and work of the Father on earth. By the power of the Holy Spirit, He carried the gospel of the Kingdom of God, preaching repentance, healing the sick, raising the dead, casting out demons, all with the intent to set the captives free. Captives who are still enslaved by the devil in spiritual and physical bondage (possession and oppression). Ultimately bringing people separated from God who created us, because of sin, Jesus came to reunite us with the Father. He is the only way, the only Truth and the Life in which we have a place in eternity with God and abundant life on earth and in Heaven. He also came to destroy the work of the devil and all powers and principalities of darkness being put under His feet, the authority given to Jesus by the Father is now given to us as believers of Christ who are saved, redeemed and born again.
Matthew 4:24 New King James Version
24 Then His fame went throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all sick people who were afflicted with various diseases and torments, and those who were demon-possessed, epileptics, and paralytics; and He healed them.
Mark 1:34
Then He healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and He did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew Him.
Mark 1:38-39
38 But He said to them, “Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also, because for this purpose I have come forth.” 39 And He was preaching in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and casting out demons.
Luke 8:2
and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities—Mary called Magdalene, out of whom had come seven demons
HOW DO I KNOW IF I NEED DELIVERANCE OF DEMONS?
There are parts of the Body of Christ that believe that the ministry of deliverance ended with death of the apostles. This is a deterrent to Christians today who have opened or others have opened the doors to the demonic in their lives. The belief that Christians who are filled with the Holy Spirit ‘cant have demons’ leaves many in a state of confusion and bondage with little to no way to live the free and abundant life Christ gives us. We do not believe that the ministry of deliverance and healing ended with the apostles because it was truly the purpose and power of the Holy Spirit and not the apostles themselves. We also believe that today, deliverance is needed far more because of the ease of access to addictions (drugs/alcohol/fast food/gambling/virtual gaming), pornography and sexual activities (online content/offline content/strip clubs/sex parties/secular movies/secular music) and many things that the Jewish people in scripture was largely not accustomed to as we are today.
