PREFACE
God is sovereign and can do anything.
However, He will not violate the Holy Bible.
We will never reach
the state of life where we do not make any mistakes in
judgement or commit any sins, and do have perfect
knowledge like God. To be perfect you must completely
follow the whole Bible and be like JESUS CHRIST
continually.
I have heard sermon
after sermon that said all you have to do is pray or
do some other part of our Christian duty. I have heard
many sermons that someday God is going to do great
things so that it will be easy to do great miracles.
We live in the nasty
now and now. The only thing that counts is what will
work. I want to see results, not hear theories about
what God will do in the future.
Many times we work
with pastors, DELIVERANCE workers and those who have
been subjected to DELIVERANCE. As we work with these
people in personal DELIVERANCE, we find that they have
many demons.
Our desire is to see
people really helped. I am an engineer, not a
preacher. I am trained to see practical results and to
be efficient. There is no place in my life for
spiritual fantasy.
These are my
comments after eleven years of intensive experience of
working countless hours with thousands of people.
DELIVERANCE is a continuous learning experience and
will be until we die. No one ever arrives in God's
Kingdom. Much time has been spent in prayer,
meditation, study, research, fasting, and association
with others who write and minister DELIVERANCE.
LEARN ABOUT
THE REAL ENEMY
There is one Satan - one individual not
omniscient, omnipresent or omnipotent like God.
There are millions
of fallen angels. Rev. 5:11 calculates at least
101,000,000 total angels. Rev. 12:4 calculates at
least 33,700,000 fallen angels.
There are billions
of demons. We only work with Christians and find that
they have many demons. If the world has billions of
people and Christians have many demons, then there
must be many billions of demons.
Demons probably come
from a Pre-Adamic Race but there is no scriptural
reference that can be found to prove this statement.
Satan is in charge
(Chief of Staff). The fallen angels are his officers.
The demons are his foot soldiers.
We cast about 10,000
demons out of one man over a nine-month period. The
demons freely talked, and gave us information about
their rank and number. One demon said that a person
could have tens of thousands of demons. This is
probably someone that has worshiped Satan.
ON WITH THE
BATTLE
We will be in a battle with Satan and his
evil forces until we die. He never quits and we should
never quit. Satan counts on us being quitters; we must
persist!
The battle becomes
more fierce as we are used more by God. However, the
victories become greater and more pleasing to us and
God.
Satan came to steal,
kill and destroy; he works hard at his job. He will
take everything from you that you will let him have.
Christians want to
have their needs met quickly and easily. God simply
does not work this way. You have to persist over a
long period of time to restore your life. If it took
you years to get into the spiritual and physical mess
that you are in, why would you expect God to restore
you overnight?
Christians expect
God to be like a fast-food restaurant and to dish the
food out on a silver platter. God cut a Covenant with
you. He will always do His part but He will not do
your part of the covenant.
Satan is a good
Devil and works twenty-four hours a day at his job of
destroying you. We need to be as good at being
Christians as Satan is good at being evil.
You must learn what
your condition is: mentally, physically, spiritually
and materially. You must learn why you got into that
condition so that you will not repeat the same
mistakes.
There is no cure-all
in the Bible. You must use all the provisions of the
Bible to lead a balanced life. There are no short-cuts
to a successful Christian life.
God realizes that
the human race is lazy. We want what God has for us
without having to put out much effort. That is why God
requires us to work at being Christians.
The casting out of
demons will not work by itself. It must be combined
with teaching about DELIVERANCE and with the
disciplining of your life. You must learn to change
the way you think and act.
There is a curse
against Christians who will not fight God's battles (I
Kings 20:35-42 and Jer. 48:10).
Probably the
greatest hindrances in the lives of Christians are
unforgiveness, rejection, bitterness and rebellion.
Christians will
never conquer the world for God in their present
condition without DELIVERANCE. The church is in a
pitiful state.
We have ministered
to Christians with problems for over eleven years. It
has shown us that the average Christian is very
demonized. The amazing thing is how a person can even
function with so many demons.
You must clean your
house of cursed objects. You must do the things
necessary to live a victorious Christian life: have a
working knowledge of the Bible and put that knowledge
into practice.
OVERALL VIEW
OF DELIVERANCE
The best way to view DELIVERANCE is to look
at what JESUS CHRIST did and said in the Bible. It is
estimated that he spent a fourth to a third of his
time teaching and ministering DELIVERANCE. If He
thought it was that important, then we should too!
DELIVERANCE consists
of about three equal parts: teaching, casting out and
counseling. There are many good books on DELIVERANCE
and the there is much in the Bible on this subject.
The people need mass, group and individual
DELIVERANCE. Finally, they need counseling so that
they can discipline their minds and bodies.
Satan fights
DELIVERANCE more than any other area of the Christian
life. This is the last battleground to complete
victory. When you get saved, you become a Foot
Soldier. When you receive the Baptism, you become a
Marine and are sent to the front line. When you enter
into DELIVERANCE, you become a Paratrooper and are
parachuted behind the Gates of Hell for all-out
spiritual warfare.
DELIVERANCE is the
most controversial area of the Christian life.
Christians generally either do not get involved or
only get involved slightly. Because of this, there are
weaknesses in the ministry of DELIVERANCE.
The biggest weakness
is trying to cover DELIVERANCE by just casting out
demons without proper teaching or counseling. Here,
many Christians only go after the surface demons and
do not go after the root causes of why the person got
into those problems in the first place.
The second biggest
weakness is not walking out the DELIVERANCE. After the
demons are cast out, a person must change their ways
of thinking and acting or they will let the demons
come back into them. A person needs extensive
counseling to help them do this and they must decide
to change their lives.
The third biggest
weakness is the lack of teaching on DELIVERANCE. There
is a large body of knowledge about DELIVERANCE but you
hear little practical teaching come from the pulpit.
DELIVERANCE will not
be completely successful unless there is a balance in
the church and in the congregation of teaching,
ministry and counseling. We have seen partial failures
because people relied on just casting out demons, not
disciplining their lives or not studying DELIVERANCE.
We have never seen a
Christian that was not helped in some measure by
DELIVERANCE. The measure of success is mainly
dependent upon the person receiving DELIVERANCE. They
must be persistent and consistent. They must set their
face like flint to walk out their DELIVERANCE over an
extended period of time!
