<h1>Deliverance </h1><strong> Author: <a href='http://www.articleseen.com/profile_Steve-0.aspx'>Steve-0</a></strong><br /><p>The Apostles all had the ability through the name of Jesus Christ to cast out devils. "And when He had called unto Him His twelve disciples, He gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of diseases." (Matthew 10:1) We read in Acts 19:11-12 of Paul's special miracles, available through the power and name of God. "God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul: So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them." Paul had a personal relationship with Jesus. "And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord Jesus." (Acts 22:16) This is the born again experience spoken by Christ. Our belief is shown by our water baptism into His name, and then we receive the Holy Spirit. "Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." (John 3:5) Most scholars agree that the water mentioned means baptism. Yet, some people without one sometimes a relationship with God attempt to cast out demons, with disastrous results. "Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the LORD Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches. And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so. And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified." (Acts 19:13-17) Here the name of Jesus was used to cast out demons. This is because He commanded it to be used so. "And he (Jesus) said unto them (His disciples), Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believes and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believes not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover." (Mark 16:15-18) That being said, let's go the topic at hand. I have heard of many people casting out demons via the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Two priests along with agroup of nuns were given a mighty task of casting a demoniac. This possessed person had many demons, and the team at first encountered many problems. One priest was even told by a demon that he would get even with him unless he stopped. That man received a call later to give last rites to a sickly person but on the way a dark cloud enveloped his car, causing it to crash. Fortunately he was not serverely injured but only slightly. When he returned back to the church the demon laughed at him saying, "I told you so." It took the team thirty days, but they reached victory. Persistence overcomes resistance. We must understand though, there is a price accounted for everything that we say or do. Count the cost that your willing to pay to see the deed done first before undergoing any task. So if you have problems, places or people that you think are unnatural or demonic inspired here are some concepts and advice that the experts give. The best thing to do is to consult them. However, if you cannot then the next best thing is to lead a Christian life of purity and use the following Scriptures to help you out in your situation. God can deliver anyone instantly by His Holy Spirit. If you ask Him for help but do not apply His word or advice, then you will fail. (Matthew 7:7; James 1:6-8, 4:1-7; Hebrews 11:1; Jeremiah 29:13) Here now is what the experts advise. General Deliverances 1. Read "Deliverance Scriptures" out loud to the spiritual world. 2. Mark or underline the Scriptures in your Bible for reference. 3. Memorize your favorite fighting verses to quote to the enemy. 4. Read "Cleaning Your House" verses when exorcising a house or building. General - The following is a partial list of scripture about deliverance. Once you learn to recognize deliverance, you can find scripture throughout the Bible that tells about how demons work in people's lives and what God thinks about how we should handle deliverance.

It is even better to memorize effective scripture verses in fighting through to victory.

This is more of an in-depth explanation of the methods used by the opposing forces. Both of these put together along with strong desire to serve the Lord will greatly help you out in your life as well. No word of God ever goes to waste but benefits all to whom it was sent to. God bless you all in the name of Jesus. Demons Exist. A. They can see. Mark 3:11 B. They talk and shout. 1 Kings 22:20-22 Matthew 12:43-44 Mark 1:23-24, 26, 3:11; 5:12; 8:31; 9:26; 12:4345 Luke 4:41 Acts 8:7; 19:15 C. They walk and seek rest. Matthew 12:43-44 D. They seek and accept worship (even as Satan himself – Matthew 4:8-10; Luke 4:5-7; Revelation 13:4, 8, 12). Leviticus 17:7 Deuteronomy 32:17 2 Chronicles 11:15 Psalms 106:37 1 Corinthians 10:20 Revelation 9:20 E. They fall down and stand still. 1 Kings 22:21 F. They can lie, and they can admit truth. 1 Kings 22:22 2 Chronicles 18:20-22 Mark 1:22-24; 5:7-8 Luke 4:41; 8:28 G. They fear and tremble. James 2:19 Matthew 8:28-29 Mark 1:23-24; 5:7 Luke 8:28 H. They are bold, for they approach God to speak (even as Satan himself -- Job 1:6-12; Zechariah 3:1). 1 Kings 22:21 (2 Chronicles 18:20) I. They have been seen by man, and they are frightening to behold. 1 Samuel 28:13 Job 4:15 Revelation 16:13 J. They have great strength to overpower men. Mark 5:3, 4 Acts 19:16 II. Evil spirits can afflict man physically, emotionally, and spiritually. A. Many physical infirmities are caused by the oppression or possession of evil spirits. 1. Deafness and dumbness. Mark 9:25 2. Convulsions. Mark 1:26; 9:20 Luke 9:42 3. Dumbness. Matthew 9:32-33 Mark 9:17 Luke 11:14 4. Blindness and dumbness. Matthew 12:22 5. Infirmity. Luke 13:11 6. Fever. Luke 4:38-39 B. Demons attack man not only in the physical, but also in the mental and spiritual realms. 1. Insanity. 1 Samuel 16:14; 18:10 Mark 5:15, 18 Luke 8:27, 35-36 2. Suicide and self-destruction. 1 Kings 18:26-28 Matthew 17:15 Mark 5:5; 9:22 John 10:10 3. Torment. 1 Samuel 16:14 Matthew 4:24 4.

Contention and strife. Judges 9:23 C. A person in need of physical or emotional healing, therefore, may indeed require spiritual deliverance. Jesus treated them together. Matthew 4:24; 12:22; 17:18 Mark 9:28, 29 Luke 6:17, 18; 8:36 Acts 5:16; 10:38 D. An evil spirit can cause a person to retreat into a very strange life-style. Matthew 8:28 (lived in the tombs) Luke 8:27 (wore no clothes) III. Evil spirits are restricted to the limitations placed upon them by God. A. Demons can only afflict man as much as God allows them to. Job 1:12; 2:6 B. They must receive permission (or "leave") of God to enter a body. Mark 5:12-13 C. Jesus had control over the demons even to the point of allowing or forbidding them to speak. Mark 1:34 IV. Because they are spirit, and a "spirit hath not flesh and bones" (Luke 24:29), demons are not limited to space or volume. A. One spirit. Mark 9:17, etc. B. Seven devils. Mark 16:9 (Luke 8:2) C. Eight demons. Matthew 12:4245 D. Six thousand, an entire "legion" of demons. Mark 5:7, 9, 13 (Luke 8:26-39) Note: One man was possessed by this legion and not many men. To avoid confusion, read the word of God as it speaks. V. The disciple of Jesus has been given authority over all the power of the enemy. Matthew 10:1, 8 (Mark 6:7; Luke 9:1) Mark 16:17 Luke 10:19-20 John 14:12 A. We must demand (not request) deliverance in the name of the Lord. Jude 9 1. It is not to the person possessed but to the evil spirit within him that we must speak. Mark 5:8 (Luke 8:29) Acts 16:18 2. Deliverance must be ministered in the name of the Lord. Mark 16:17 Acts 16:18 a. It is the name of Jesus that gives us power and authority. Matthew 28:18 1 Peter 3:22 Philippians 2:9-11 b. The name itself, however, is not to be used lightly or experimentally. The consequences for doing so may be disastrous. Acts 19:13-16 3. Faith is absolutely essential in ministering deliverance. Matthew 17:19-20 B. How may deliverance be obtained? 1. Through the laying on of hands. Luke 4:40-41; 13:11-13 2. By special miracles of God. Acts 19:11-12 3. By prayer (and fasting). Mark 9:29 (Matthew 17:21) Isaiah 58:6 4. By a word. Matthew 8:16 5. By the anointing upon prophetic music. 1 Samuel 16:14-23 Isaiah 10:27 6. Through praise. Psalms 32:7 C. Sometimes demons will depart only after a time of screaming, tearing the person, thrusting him to the ground, and causing him to foam at the mouth, grind his teeth, and even stiffen out and appear as if dead. Mark 1:26 "And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him." Mark 9:22 "And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him..." Acts 19:16 "And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded." D. But we don't have to listen to the demons or put up with the trouble and commotion they may try to cause during the process of exorcism. Luke 4:41 E. There is often a noticeable difference in the appearance and character of a person after they been delivered of demonic oppression. Mark 7:30; 9:26 l Samuel 16:15-16 VI. Is it always the case that a demon will oppress its victim continually (that is, 24 hours a day)? A. One person to whom Jesus ministered spiritual deliverance had been oppressed by the same evil spirit continually, since childhood. Mark 9:21 B. However, this is not always the case. The evil spirit that tormented Saul only sometimes bothered him. It would come and go. 1 Samuel 16:15-16; 18:10-12; 19:9 VII. Why do people sometimes fail to receive their deliverance? A. It may be due to a lack of faith on the part of the person trying to minister it. Matthew 17:16-20 (Mark 9:18-19) B. Some cases require that it be proceeded by a time of fasting and prayer. Matthew 17:21 (Mark 9:28-29) VIII. Why do some people find it difficult to keep their deliverance, once they receive it? A. If they continue in the evil practices of their past life, the demon may again seek entrance to its former place of abode. 1 Samuel 16:14-23; 18:6-12; 19:9-16; etc. Matthew 43:45 (Luke 11:24-26) B. If the person isn't filled with the Holy Spirit after deliverance, the demon may return with more evil spirits, making the condition worse.
