Deliverance talk 20 mn

The Ministry of Jesus

Part of His ministry was setting the captives free (Salvation and Deliverance Luke 4:18))

He told us to do deliverance and not to ask Him to do it (mark 16:17)

We are also told we are to destroy the works of Satan and his workers.

Demons live in a person’s house (soul) but not their spirit as The Holy Spirit lives in that.  In a non-Christian demons live in their spirit which is why they can become possessed.  Deliverance deals with the demons in the sol of a Christian and salvation deals with the demons in the spirit of a non-Christian.

The deliverance ministry was to be one of the signs of those that followed Jesus.

On deliverance

The Three deliverances:

From Satan's Kingdom to that of Jesus (Salvation)

From the effects of Satan's Kingdom on you (Deliverance Ministry)

From this defiled world to heaven (Death and resurrection)

Why do we need deliverance?

To remove the effects of Satan on you as result of your originally belonging to his kingdom

Demons cause hurts in you to try and cause you to follow them and/or sin and deliverance removes the hurts demons use to try to cause you to sin

To remove the hurts that cause addiction (Addictions are a compensation to hide the pain of the hurt)

To remove the hidden nests of demons that causes mental illness and other mental problems

To heal demonically caused illness

How do you know you need deliverance?

You have a sin/weakness you cannot overcome

You have a temptation that will not go away

You have misfortunes that seem to be unusual in their type or frequency of occurrence

You do not seem to be prospered by God and you are not in sin and it is not a trial God is using to mature you or draw you back to Himself

You have problem sleeping and/or have nightmares a lot

You continually have thoughts you know that are ungodly but you cannot stop having them

You have voices in your head and cannot stop what they say to you

Demons appear to you and harass you either in your sleep or when you are awake

You have trouble studying, reading or understanding The Bible

You are constantly judgmental or critical of others or behave legalistically towards them

You have low self-esteem, self-value, self-worth, self-hate of any part of you or want to harm yourself in some way (e.g. suicide)

You have a wrong attitude to yourself

You have anger or unforgiveness you cannot get rid of or you do not want to reconcile to someone you have offended

Who can have deliverance?

Any Citizen of The kingdom of God

Jesus only delivered:

People who recognised Him to be The Messiah (Lord)

People who needed to be delivered to be able to decide for or against Him (The Gadarene)

People who had authority over another and came to Jesus to deliver the person they had authority over (The Father for the son)

Jesus never delivered anyone who did not recognise Him as The Messiah

Warning about non-Christians:

Satan can immediately re-enter them as they do not belong to Jesus

The original demon brings in seven worse ones than it is

The person is far worse off than before deliverance

This is especially so with those who cannot repent (Heb 6:6-8) who are a revolving door for demons

The five steps

Based on our position in The Kingdom of God:

What belongs to Jesus Satan cannot touch without the permission of Jesus

Our position in The Kingdom of God is possible because of our redemption

Why are the five steps effective?

Jesus has authority over Satan and can tell him what to do

Satan could not cause Jesus to sin and become under his authority and so Satan was defeated by Jesus

The five steps are all a form of worship:

Step 1 acknowledges Jesus as Lord of all and able to protect what you entrust to Him

Step 2 acknowledges He is the judge of all but a merciful judge

Step 3 acknowledges His authority over Satan

Step 4 acknowledges His authority over all to heal all types of illness

Step 5 Acknowledges He gives The Holy Spirit and that The Holy Spirit is desirable to have

Hindrances to Deliverance:

Unforgiveness

Deliberately Unrepented Sin

Unresolved offences

Can lose you your Salvation if not repented of (Rev 3:5)

Unresolved offences need to be dealt with.  Jesus is a peacemaker and expects you to be one also.  He requires you to wholeheartedly try and reconcile to the other person and if the other person does not accept reconciliation then it is their problem.  You have done what Jesus requires you to do.

Hindrances to reconciliation:

Fear of the person

Anger and bitterness (both a sign of unforgiveness).

Both need deliverance to be freed to try and reconcile to the other person.

Sin only need to be known by Jesus:

Give to Him silently in your heart

He is the one sinned against (Matt 25:40)

No one else's business to know them

The Actual five steps

The five steps are not a magic formula but a framework to help you to give to Jesus the parts of your life He is not Lord of.  It is these areas Satan uses or tries to use as He cannot attack the areas given to Jesus without the consent of Jesus.

Step 1 Give Jesus all your:

Worries

Problems

Fears

Hurts

Bad Memories

Circumstance

Events

Anything in you not of God

Step 2 Repentance and forgiveness

Repent of anything you have done wrong:

You need to wholeheartly try to stop doing the wrong thing

If you cannot stop doing the wrong things and you are wholeheartedly tying to stop it then you have not given what you need to Jesus and will need deliverance in another area

You may need to pray "Lord I repent! Help me to repent"

Need to repent of:

Bitterness

Root of Bitterness

Wrong attitudes to others (Unforgiveness, anger)

Wrong attitudes to yourself (self-pity, self-hatred)

You may need to ask the Lord to help you do these

Step 3 In Jesus' Name tell Satan he has to go from the areas  areas given to Jesus

They belong to Jesus

Satan no longer has a right to be in them or to use them

In Jesus’ Name cast Satan to The Throne Of Judgment to be dealt with by Jesus

Step 4 In Jesus' Name command healing on all the damage Satan did to the person

Step 5 Ask The Holy Spirit to fill the person (which includes the space left by the demons that left)

Soul Ties

Some sins result in ties being formed between the souls of the two people involved.  In Jesus’ Name do the following

Break all wrong soul ties

Evict demons that have used them at any time

Seal the ends of the breaks in the soul ties so they cannot be rejoined

Command healing on any damage the demons did to the person

Ask The Holy Spirit to replace the demons that have left the peson

The breaking of these soul ties assumes the events causing them have been given to Jesus using the five steps.  If these have not been given to Jesus then you will need to do this for the person before you do the above set of steps to break the soul ties.

Other Comments

Sometimes the person may not be able to say the prayers in which case you say them for the person and all the person has to do is agree with the prayers in their heart as that is what Jesus looks at and not what they say

No more guilt, shame or condemnation after Calvary

These now comes from demons

Cast them out using five steps

How to defeat Satan

Satan cannot get you to do anything you do not agree to do

Ignoring his suggestions is the best defence

If you cannot do this then you will need deliverance

Application of the Five Steps.

These are used to:

Remove Satan (Deliverance)

Steps 1,3,5 used to protect current or future activities by stopping Satan from attacking or using them

Example of using the five steps

In Step 1Have them give to Jesus all their:

Worries

Problems

Fears

Hurts

Bad Memories

Circumstances

Events

Anything in them not of God

Lord I forgive, help me to forgive

Lord I repent help me to repent

Final Comments

You have now been shown two weapons against Satan. 

The five steps used to deliver someone

The use of parts of the five steps to stop Satan’s works in its tracks.

We are war with Satan and not to fight him is to lose the war before you even start.

You have now  been shown how to fight Satan and do deliverance.  It you do not at least wholeheartedly try to do these things then you will have to explain to Jesus why you did not fight His war and use His weapons against His enemy.
