Do you minister in deliverance ministry?

[Kalashnikova]

Hi,

I'm a missionary in Russia. I'm interested in finding out more about deliverance ministry. Do you minister in deliverance ministry? Can you share about how you go about doing that?

[shepherdsgrace]

Yes. When the Holy Spirit shows that it is necessary. But I do NOT look for opportunities. YOu have to have the gift of discernment and an anointing from the Lord. You need to be walking in humility and have great confidence in the LORD. Wisdom is needed. YOu have to spend regualr time in the presence of God in prayer. I would suggest that you seek out some authors who write in the area. Derek Prince is certainly a tried and true author who deals with the subject. There is no way that on a board like this you can learn all you need to know. YOu need to hear from someone that you know has the qualifications to be answering your question. Again I would recommend Prince.

Derek Prince is a very good source, but the Gospel of Mark, and the Book of Acts are even better ones.

Prayer, obedience and sensitivity to the Holy Spirit, pureness of heart before God in motive, and being in unity with other believers.

Luke 11

"1": And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.

"2": And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.

"3": Give us day by day our daily bread.

"4": And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.

"5": And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;

"6": For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?

"7": And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.

"8": I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.

"9": And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

"10": For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

"11": If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?

"12": Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?

"13": If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

"14": And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered.

"15": But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils.

"16": And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.

"17": But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.

"18": If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.

"19": And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.

"20": But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.

Peace.

Of course Leonard. You are so right. I just had authors who wrote about the subject on my mind. Indeed the word of God is always THE SOURCE!

Remember this one?

Matthew 17

"14": And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,

"15": Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.

"16": And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.

"17": Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.

"18": And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.

"19": Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?

"20": And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief : for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

"21": Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.

Note Jesus said the disciples couldn't cast out this particular devil because of their unbelief. And He followed that with "this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting". Did Jesus fast and pray after the man came up to Jesus to let Him know that the disciples couldn't cure this paticular individual who was possessed? No, Jesus just rebuked the devil and the devil left him. So why did Jesus say that kind only came out by fasting and prayer? Because of their ubelief is why that particular devil didn't come out is what he told them at first wasn't it? Sure it was. But Jesus followed that up by mentioning fasting and prayer. Both of which He did on a regular basis. He kept His spirit sensitive to the Holy Spirit and His faith strong at all times. Fasting and prayer aid us in our faith.

The deliverance ministry is the ministry of Jesus.

I. John 3

"8": For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

Jesus was manifested to destroy "all" of devil's works.

Be encouraged in Him.

Peace.

I have Prince's materials and we do what you've suggested. We are looking for someone to pray for us regularly.

Yes. When the Holy Spirit shows that it is necessary. But I do NOT look for opportunities. YOu have to have the gift of discernment and an anointing from the Lord. You need to be walking in humility and have great confidence in the LORD. Wisdom is needed. YOu have to spend regualr time in the presence of God in prayer.

We do believe and pray and fast. Born again Christians are less than 1% in number here in Russia. That's why we need prayer support.
