• The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. (Luke 4:18-19).

    DELIVERANCE IS A SIGN

    Deliverance is a sign

    Today there is those who are mislead to believe that deliverance is not for today, it is not of God. Christians don't have demons. The deliverance ministry is wrong for their local church? Thinking that deliverance is taboo is saying that Christ has no power over evil spirits today.

    Jesus Christ is the first person in all of history to walk in the deliverance ministry, He is the one led the way, He was the first not us. He is the one who brought the deliverance ministry to the Church. That In His name we can cast out demons. Let us no longer hinder the name of Jesus from His power. Let us begin to walk in the power that comes with the name of Jesus. That Christ will be glorifying above all. When you cast out demons in the name of Jesus, Jesus will be glorify.

    We have made deliverance taboo through our unbiblical thinking. That increases the kingdom of darkness in the church. We need to renew our minds. We need new mindset that people can get set free in grace and not feel shame.

    At the same time we need to have balance in deliverance thinking not for the use of it to control or hurt people. Someone could have a spirit of homosexual and not be in the sin of homosexual. We are not to use the ministry of deliverance to point finger and speak bad about people. If a person who is a fivefold minister has an unclean spirit and does not walk in this sin he should not step down, and we should use this ministry called deliverance in a way that brings freedom. Let there be grace and freedom in deliverance and let us show love. For everyone could have a demon spirit and be right with God.

    Apart from that, casting out demons is one of the signs that should follow any believer. Every believer, every Christian should be train in how to cast out demons. They should not fear casting out demons instead see it as one of the signs that follow their life when they believe in Christ and the Word.

    In addition, when we teach the basic Christian faith we need to teach a young believer how to cast out demons. All believers should know how and practice healing the sick and casting out demons.

    Moreover, every believer needs to know how to witness to those in the world and how to set them free. The Bible says when the Holy Spirit comes upon us we will have power to be a witness. We need to teach those young believers how to walk in that power.

    Beside, every newborn in Christ needs go through discipleship and part of the discipleship is knowing how cast out demons and heal the sick. Along with that every newborn needs to go through basic deliverance in their lives.

    Furthermore, there are gifts and then there are roles that every Christian will have and should fulfill them. Every believer should have faith in casting out demons. There are those who are called to a special ministry of deliverance, and then there is the deliverance ministry for all believers to walk and practice.
