Deliverance Information

​Question: What is inner healing?
Answer: Inner healing is dealing with traumatic events that have happened in a persons life by going to the point of the pain.  The point of the pain will be found in all kinds of emotional hurts.  As a person is taken through the process of Inner healing; the healing normally happens when the broken hearted part of that person has surrendered to Jesus and has forgiven their abuser, offender or them self.  Then allowing Jesus to integrate the broken hearted part with the persons core identity. We don't believe that clinical psychology can bring true wholeness.  It only teaches a person to cope with their dissociative parts. Often times when a broken hearted part is healed, the person feels the difference internally and becomes stronger as a result. In some cases blocked or hidden memories are remembered, and God has removed the pain from them.

Question: What is a demon?
Answer: Demon are a spirit beings, fallen angels that were deceived by the devil. They should not be your friends.

​

Revelation 12:7-9

"And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, who deceives the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him."

​

A demon seeks to steal, kill, and destroy. John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

1 Peter 5:8 "Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour."

Question: Can a Christian have a demon?
Answer: A Christian cannot be demonized if by “possession” you mean “ownership.” The child of God is owned by the Lord. But a Christian can be severely influenced by demons and even be inhabited by them. If Satan can control our speech when we are disobedient and fill our hearts with evil when we are rebellious, he may be able to do a lot more to Christians than we would like to admit. See Can a Christian have a Demon?

​

Question: What is an exorcism?
Answer: An exorcism isn’t an action, rather it’s a process by which the victim of the devil is led from demonic captivity to spiritual wholeness. Whatever the circumstances, no force of darkness can forever resist the united effort of a victim who wills to be free and an exorcist who humbly ministers as unto the Lord.

​

Question:  Is there a difference between Deliverance and Exorcism?
Answer:  No.

​

Question: Why don’t more Christian counselors do deliverances or exorcisms?
Answer: Few ministers have knowingly encountered a demon possessed person. They may feel confident to counsel other problems, but this situation is unpredictable and not easily detected. Demons know how to hide.

​

Question: How is a demon detected?
Answer: Some suggest using 1 John 4:3 as a test, but that may be insufficient. Demons are liars and will acknowledge Christ as the Son of God come in the flesh, but only as a statement of fact, not a personal article of belief. Pray that God will permit you to discern the presence of any evil spirits. Antipathy toward the name of Christ or blood of Jesus may indicate demons.

​

Question: Can someone have a demon without knowing?
Answer: Yes.  Demons do not normally advertise their presence if they are not threatened.

​

Question: When is a person ready for an deliverance or exorcism?
Answer: Not everyone who has a demon is ready to be exorcized. The most important factor is the willingness of the victim.

 

Question: Where do demons go when they are cast out?
Answer: Matthew 12:43-45 “When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation.”

Question: What is a curse?
Answer: A curse is the opposite of a blessing. Curses are exacting, legal arrangements of the spirit world. Satanic curses are often filled with small or trivial details that can be easily broken.

​

Question: What is a generational curse?
Answer: This is a curse that was invoked by an ancestor of your mother or father’s blood line that has passed down to you and your children.

​

Question: How are curses broken?
Answer: A curse is broken in the same way it is established. If the curse was a verbal commitment, the victim needs to verbally renounce the curse. If documents were signed, the victim should write a legal statement voiding the curse and/or destroy the original signed documents if available.

Question: What is a legal right?
Answer: A legal right is the means that a demon can legally enter a body or mind. in other words it is an open door for the enemy to enter a stronghold.

 

Question: How long does an exorcism take?
Answer: The removal of demons or infirmities is a process. There are many factors that have to be considered to answer this question. The first and foremost question is the individual needing spiritual wholeness a born again believer? How willing is this person to have the demonic influence removed? What type of activities has the person been involved in which would cause demon possession?  How many generations has the demon had the family?  What demon has been called up by the Holy Spirit for removal? Does the person have alter personalities? What curses are operating in their life? Once these questions are answered only then can there be a real assessment given. Most people take multiple sessions, each lasting 2-3 hours.  Some have taken full day sessions. All this will be determined by the persons physical and mental strength. Everyone's story and journey are different.

 

Question: Whose authority do you use to cast out demons?
Answer: We use the authority that Jesus gave us to cast out demons. Luke 10:19 "Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.." What we do is in His power and all the glory goes to God.

 

Question: What is an "alter" personality?
Answer: An alter personality is a fragmentation (a broken hearted part) of the core identity.  A single person displays multiple distinct identities or personalities, each with its own pattern of perceiving and interacting with the environment. The alter personality holds the pain, terror, embarrassment, and the shame of a traumatic event. The "alter" is a coping mechanism to keep a person from losing all sense of reality.  Depending on the severity and length in time of the traumatic event, will determine the depth and the number of fragmentation.  It can also be called Dissociative Identity disorder, except it is not a disorder.​ See Understanding DID/MPD
