    SPIRITUAL WARFARE I Mid Week Instruction Reid Temple AME Church Pastor Washington LESSON DISCUSSION • What is Spiritual Warfare? • The Battle of the Mind LESSON DISCUSSION • Successful Deliverance • Gift of Discernment WHAT IS SPIRITUAL WARFARE? WHAT IS SPIRITUAL WARFARE? • Christian believers use this expression to refer to the ongoing battle between the forces of good (God, Christ, the angels) and the forces of evil (Satan, the demons). WHAT IS SPIRITUAL WARFARE? • On an individual level, each person, no matter how saintly, is a battlefield where good and evil meet, clash, and clash again. • What takes place in the individual takes place in the world at large—Christ versus Satan SPIRITUAL WARFARE - INWARD BATTLE • Romans 7:23. It happens so regularly that it is predictable. The moment I decide to do good, sin is there to trip me up. I truly delight in God's command, but it's pretty obvious that not all of me joins in that delight. Parts of me covertly rebel, and just when I least expect it, they take charge. SPIRITUAL WARFARE - INWARD BATTLE • Romans 7:24: I've tried everything and nothing helps. I'm at the end off my rope. I there no one who can do anything for me? Isn't that the real question? SPIRITUAL VICTORY • Victory begins with the name of Jesus on your lips but it will not be consummated until the nature of Jesus is in our hearts. • Satan will be allowed to come against the area of your weakness until you realize God's only answer is to be Christlike.

  • In Christianity, Deliverance Ministry Refers to the Activity of Cleansing
    In Christianity , deliverance ministry refers to the activity of cleansing a person of demons and evil spirits in order to address problems manifesting in their life as a result of the presence of said entities and the root causes of their authority to oppress the person. Adherents to this theological concept attribute physical, psychological, spiritual and emotional problems that people suffer to the activities of the oppressing spirits following the example of Jesus Christ given in the gospel . The practices and many of the underlying beliefs of these ministries are not accepted by all Christians. Methods Deliverance ministries focus on casting out the spirit or spirits believed to cause an affliction. The method of casting out varies. Some adherents directly recite Biblical examples in prayer intended to command a demon to depart an afflicted person, and do not believe an ordained clergy is required to perform the deliverance. Ministries also organize the removal from homes of items that are believed to harbor demons, including fantasy or horror novels , and artworks / artifacts depicting pagan gods .[citation needed ] Members are instructed to burn items that are related to idol worship, "demon drawing" symbols and music that summons demons. Although Rev. Don Jeffrey, An exorcist in Arizona states that any and all of these objects should be exorcised of any evil spirits and blessed before burning them or sending them to the dump. An Ouija board is a perfect example of this. It acts like a gateway for the demonic and must be exorcised and blessed, the gate must be closed before it is destroyed.

  • The Theological Foundations of Deliverance Healing
    The Theological Foundations of Deliverance Healing Lawrence Burkf2older In early December of 1994,I discovered that a parishiollier in my co~~gregation was suffering from dernoilic oppressions. This person had received Jesus Christ as Savior and I had baptized her tile previous Easter. Now, after three a~nbulal~cetrips in two days to the local hospital, she was in the psychiatric ward suffering from seizures, edaaustion, and the awareness of a presence in her that was tl-rreatening,malicious, and dangerous. Little did she know that this signalled the begin~~ingof inner healing and the expulsio~aof many evil spirits. Much less did I know that it also launched a personal odyssey which wouid take me into three symbiotic experiences: the hands-on pastoral practice of what is usually called 'deliverance ministry';' a major theological research project i~iquiringinto the dernonizatioii and exorcism of persons from ara Anabaptist-Mennonite per~pective;~and an intense and life-threatening battle with evil spirits in my own life. These varied influences have deeply shaped my present understanding of the spiritual, theological, and pastoral foundations which undergird the Christian practice of deliverance (exorcistic) healing. Though evil spirits - de~noiis- 2nd their expulsion are widely rooted in scripture, church tradition, antl~ropologgr,and even political Isist~ry,~exorcism's profile in Mennonite circles is peripheral at best. It's true that there are several acknowiedged pioneers in deliveral~cerni~listny amongst Anabaptist-Menno~~ites~~but candor still forces us to admit that exorcism is rarely even on the margins of col~gregationaland i~~stitutio~lallife.

  • Authority and the Lay Person
    Dear Friends, Recently I was asked to make a statement about the use of authority in the Unbound model. It has come to my attention that certain individuals have been critical of Unbound in their teaching, and that this criticism has negatively influenced several people who are doing Unbound ministry. In this letter, I will present a response to some of the criticism and explain the biblical and theological basis for our methodology within a Catholic framework. I intend to present my position with clarity in the hope that I can find common ground with those who disagree. For those who may be unfamiliar with Unbound ministry, our teaching and ministry is based upon Five Keys: Repentance and Faith, Forgiveness, Renunciation, Authority, and the Father’s Blessing. The Controversy over Authority (the Fourth Key). Over the years I have encountered some people who promote the idea that a lay person cannot command evil spirits to leave a person to whom they are ministering. This idea seemed to be a response to the experience of demonic confrontations during exorcism and to reflect the fear that a layperson may become vulnerable to spiritual attack or reprisal if he or she gives a command. There have also been abuses in deliverance ministry over the years that have provoked many valid pastoral concerns for the protection of God’s people. When these pastoral concerns were misinterpreted, misunderstood, or over accentuated, vague and overreaching theological reasoning about lay people and their authority developed without a proper review. This, combined with an unhealthy fear of the devil and a misplaced sense of obedience, has created a cloud of suspicion regarding the Catholicity of our teaching that lay people can command evil spirits to leave a person in the context of Unbound.

  • A Biblical and Theological Foundation for a Seventh-Day Adventist Practical Approach to Deliverance Ministry
    Bade: A Biblical and Theological Foundation MICHÉE B. BADÉ A Biblical and Theological Foundation for a Seventh-day Adventist Practical Approach to Deliverance Ministry Introduction The Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) Church believes that during Christ’s earthly ministry Jesus had victory in all his encounters with Satan and his demonic forces (Ministerial Association 2005:149). Adventists argue that although “spiritual wickedness in heavenly places” (Eph 6:12) still exists with Satan roaring today like a lion seeking whom he may “devour” (1 Pet 5:8) or operating with discretion and subtlety like a snake seeking whom he may “deceive” (Gen 3:1, Matt 10:16, Rev 12:9), every disciple of Christ can be empowered by the Holy Spirit to have victory over the deceptive, destructive power, and malice of Satan and demons. Unfortunately, the biblically sound doctrinal statement on “Christian Spiritual Warfare” (Ministerial Association 2005:149) that clearly empha- sizes Christ’s dominant authority and power over Satan and his agents has been a source of debate, dissension, and polemics concerning its prac- tical aspects in some Adventists quarters (see Biblical Research Institute 1983; Koranteng-Pipim 2005:163–205). Objectives The first goal of this article is to suggest an holistic approach for a “Practical Spiritual Warfare and Deliverance Ministry” that can be in conformity with the 28th Fundamental Belief (Growing in Christ) of the Seventh-day Adventist Church that was voted during the 2005 General Conference Session in St. Louis, Missouri. To meet that overarching goal, this article will ground its suggestions on two principles that are impor- tant to Seventh-day Adventists.

  • DO WE NEED DELIVERANCE of the SOUL AFTER REGENERATION of the SPIRIT? Dr.Gerrit Van Veuren
    DO WE NEED DELIVERANCE OF THE SOUL AFTER REGENERATION OF THE SPIRIT? Dr.Gerrit van Veuren When Jesus told His disciples to heal the sick and cast out demons, I believe He intended them to do just that – heal the sick and cast out demons! However, in common with most of my contemporaries who were nurtured and reared in the latter half of the previous century, I was taught nothing about the healing and deliverance ministry. Some fifteen years ago my ministry took a turn when I was confronted with a demon-possessed woman who I could not help. I knew she was sick and in bondage, but I was unable to deliver her from the demonic strongholds in her life. Later I realised that there were actually many such cases before her, but I was neither capable to recognise nor equipped to handle the situations. I felt so inadequate and realised the need for deliverance ministry. I enrolled for postgraduate studies in psychology and counselling. I researched everything I could lay my hands on about spiritual warfare, demonization, deliverance and counselling. I even crossed conventional borders to study the occult and other religions. However one thing transpired; I discovered that the body of Christ found it difficult to accept that our Lord intended to minister beyond conversion, to heal the deep hidden things from the past that are harboured in our soul. I believe that Satan hides the truth of deliverance ministry from pastors and ministers to keep believers in sickness and poverty. However God knows that only after believers have been delivered, can they be truly free to serve Him in fullness and worship Him in truth and in spirit.
