Deliverance ministry is a crucial aspect of the Christian faith, focused on freeing individuals from demonic oppression, possession, and other spiritual bondages. Central to this ministry is the role of the Holy Spirit, whose presence and power are essential for effective deliverance. In this blog, we will explore how the Holy Spirit empowers and guides the deliverance process, ensuring lasting freedom and transformation.

1. The Holy Spirit as the Source of Power

In the ministry of deliverance, it is the Holy Spirit who provides the power to cast out demons. Jesus, during His earthly ministry, operated in the power of the Holy Spirit. Luke 4:18-19 (NIV) states, "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor." This anointing by the Holy Spirit enabled Jesus to perform miracles and deliverance, setting a model for believers.

2. Discernment and Wisdom

The Holy Spirit grants discernment and wisdom to those involved in deliverance ministry. This discernment is vital for identifying the presence and activity of demonic forces. 1 Corinthians 12:10 lists "distinguishing between spirits" as one of the gifts of the Spirit. Through this gift, ministers can accurately perceive the nature of the spiritual battle they are engaged in and address it effectively.

3. Guidance in Prayer and Strategy

Deliverance often requires strategic prayer and specific actions directed by the Holy Spirit. Romans 8:26 (NIV) tells us, "In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans." The Holy Spirit guides believers in prayer, revealing the strongholds that need to be broken and the specific prayers that need to be prayed.

4. The Authority of the Believer

The Holy Spirit affirms the authority given to believers in Christ to command demons to leave. Mark 16:17 (NIV) says, "And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons." This authority is not of our own making but is granted by Jesus through the empowerment of the Holy Spirit. Operating under this divine authority ensures that deliverance is both effective and lasting.

5. Transformative Healing

Deliverance is not just about expelling demons but also about bringing healing and restoration to the individual. The Holy Spirit works to heal the wounds and traumas that demonic oppression may have caused. Isaiah 61:1 (NIV) speaks of this holistic ministry: "The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners." Through the Holy Spirit, deliverance brings not just freedom from bondage but also emotional and spiritual healing.

6. Sustaining Deliverance

After deliverance, the Holy Spirit plays a critical role in helping individuals maintain their freedom. Ephesians 6:10-18 describes the armor of God, which is necessary for standing firm against spiritual attacks. The Holy Spirit empowers believers to live righteous lives, to resist temptation, and to grow in their relationship with God. Galatians 5:16 (NIV) encourages believers to "walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh." Living in the Spirit ensures that the freedom gained through deliverance is sustained.

The Holy Spirit's role in deliverance is indispensable. From empowering and guiding the deliverance process to providing discernment, wisdom, and sustaining freedom, the Holy Spirit is the divine agent of transformation and liberation. As believers, it is essential to rely on the Holy Spirit, seeking His presence and power in every aspect of deliverance ministry. Through the Holy Spirit, we can experience true freedom and healing, walking in the fullness of life that God intends for us.

By understanding and embracing the role of the Holy Spirit, those involved in deliverance ministry can more effectively help individuals break free from spiritual bondage and live victorious lives in Christ.

Deliverance Prayer

Deliverance Prayer:

Lord Jesus Christ,

I believe you died on the cross for my sins, were buried and rose again from the dead. At this time, I choose to forgive all those that have trespassed against me. I understand that you have commanded me to forgive others. And that if I don’t, you will not forgive my sins.

Lord Jesus, I am a sinner. I need your help in overcoming temptation. I ask that the Holy Spirit gives me the strength to overcome my temptations. Lord, cleanse me with your blood. Make me white as snow. I ask that you forgive my sins, known and unknown. Have mercy and grace towards me. Fill me with Your Spirit. I am Yours!

Lord our enemy torments me day and night. They came to kill, steal, and destroy. To desecrate your temple. Lord, they surround me like a pack of wolves. They pursue my soul. They have crushed my life to the ground. Deliver me O Lord, from satan and his minions. I am weary. Deliver me from my enemies Lord.

Lord you are my savior and my deliverer. My trust is in You. Lord, You are the King of kings and The Lord of lords. You have the name above every other name, and at Your name, Jesus, every knee will bow, and every tongue will confess to God that You are Lord! Lord, I renounce satan and all of his works. I hold on to the power and authority that you gave us. I exercise that power and authority now! Devils...I lose myself from you! Let every stronghold be broken. Let every legal right be revoked. Let every soul tie be severed. Heal me Lord!

Satan! I bind you and all of your demons as one, and I command you to leave me, right now in Jesus mighty name. Thank You Lord!

VooDoo Doll? Is your Boss Evil? Time for Revenge?

Curse your way to success?

Want to work your way up the corporate ladder without sleeping your way to the top? Try cursing your boss. Amazon.com will even show you how. That's where I got the "BAD BOSS" example above: $14.99 with Amazon Prime shipping. What a deal. Before you roll your eyes, this is for real, and it comes recommended by a Business School, Wilfrid Laurier University in Ontario Canada. (And you thought those Canadians were such nice people.)

Professor Lindie Liang, who suggested this revenge witchcraft, based the academic study on the idea that people in a bad job situation want to lash out at the boss but can't without getting fired. So, why not take out their anger on an inanimate object, like a voodoo doll? Liang says, "We found a simple and harmless symbolic act of retaliation can make people feel like they're getting even and restoring their sense of fairness." No suggestion here of turning the other cheek, going the second mile, or a "soft answer" turning away "wrath" (Proverbs 15:1).

Voodoo isn't "harmless" and its power in places like Haiti isn't based on "symbolism." Black magic is real and those who practice such dark arts against others will quickly learn such evil has a boomerang effect. Cursing others is cursing yourself. Needling that bad boss will put a pin-prick of suffering in your own life. Proverbs 29:1 says, ''Don't plot evil against your neighbor" and Proverbs 25:1 says "he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed." The path to success in life is in blessing not cursing.

Are Birds of Prey Stealing Your Blessings?

3/21/2018

0 Comments

In the book of Genesis Chapter 15, God establishes the Abrahamic Covenant. In this chapter, God asked Abram to make a sacrifice so that Abram could receive a blessing. There is a verse, verse 11 to be exact, which tells us that birds of prey came down on the carcasses and Abram had to chase them away. Now this verse would be insignificant if you had no idea of it's significance. These birds of prey represented demons, that wanted to steal Abram's blessings away. It is the same way with you. Every time God wants to give you a blessing you can expect birds of prey to come to steal your blessing. It's up to you to chase them away.

Irish Priest Calls for Backup Due to Increase Cases of Exorcism

Exorcism

Dublin, Ireland, Jan 24, 2018 / 11:08 pm (CNA).- An Irish priest and exorcist is asking the country's bishops for more support after noticing a dramatic increase in demonic activity in the country.
In a recent interview with The Irish Catholic, Fr. Pat Collins said he has been overwhelmed with the number of requests for exorcisms from the faithful in Ireland. In an open letter, he has urged the Irish bishops to train more priests to deal with the demand.
“(I)t’s only in recent years that the demand has risen exponentially,” Collins told The Irish Catholic.
Collins’ comments are on par with those of other exorcists throughout the world, including the International Association of Exorcists (IAE), a group of 400 Catholic leaders and priests, which has reported a dramatic increase in demonic activity in recent years.

In 2014, the IAE said the levels of demonic activity throughout the world had reached what they considered a “pastoral emergency.”
Collins said that he was “baffled” that the bishops haven’t trained more exorcists for Ireland, and added that anyone who doesn’t see the need for more exorcists is “out of touch with reality.”
“What I’m finding out desperately, is people who in their own minds believe – rightly or wrongly – that they’re afflicted by an evil spirit,” Collins said.
“I think in many cases they wrongly think it, but when they turn to the Church, the Church doesn’t know what to do with them and they refer them on either to a psychologist or to somebody that they’ve heard of that is interested in this form of ministry, and they do fall between the cracks and often are not helped,” he added.
A spokesperson for the bishops' conference at Maynooth told The Irish Catholic that each diocese is required to have a trained exorcist, who is able to discern the difference between signs of true demonic possession and signs of mental or psychological illness.
“Exorcisms are very rare and this office has not been made aware of any cases of ‘exorcism’ in Ireland in recent years,” the spokesperson said.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between demonic activity and mental illness. From paragraph 1673: “Exorcism is directed at the expulsion of demons or to the liberation from demonic possession through the spiritual authority which Jesus entrusted to his Church. Illness, especially psychological illness, is a very different matter; treating this is the concern of medical science. Therefore, before an exorcism is performed, it is important to ascertain that one is dealing with the presence of the Evil One, and not an illness.”
In April 2015, the Congregation for the Clergy and the Sacerdos Institute hosted a seminar at Rome's Regina Apostolorum University, specifically aimed at training priests and lay people in spotting the differences between psychological problems and demonic possession.

The conference included interventions from a wide range of experts in the field of exorcism, including practicing exorcists, medical professionals, psychologists, lawyers, and theologians.
Recently updated rules of the Catholic rite of exorcism also state that a person who believes they are possessed must first rule out mental illness before seeking an exorcism. If the rite of exorcism is still needed, they may seek out a priest who has been trained and appointed as exorcist for his diocese by his bishop.
Collins noted that it often takes multiple meetings with a person seeking an exorcism to determine precisely what is afflicting them, but noted that whether it is true demonic activity or other problems, the requests have gone up dramatically in recent years.
Father Vincent Lampert, a Vatican-trained exorcist and a parish priest of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis, has previously told CNA that the best defense against demonic possession is staying close to the sacraments.
In his open letter to the Irish bishops, Collins wrote: “...there has been increasing evidence of the malicious activity of the evil one.”
“I can’t judge from my own subjective experience because people see on the internet that I’m supposed to be an exorcist so I get an inordinate number of calls from people, and emails, all I can say is I have that reputation, but it’s only in recent years that the demand has risen exponentially,” he wrote.

Crack in the Armor of God?

1/13/2018

2 Comments

If your armor is intact, then Satan and his demons will not be able to penetrate your armor. But if there's even a minute crack in it, then Satan and his Kingdom of Evil will be able to get through your armor. Do you find yourself giving in to temptation when you really want to overcome? Are you ever discouraged? We all face these moments. But clothed in the whole armor God, the weakest of His children is more than a match for Satan. In Jesus, clothed in God’s invincible armor, you will “be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.” You will “be able to stand against the wiles of the devil” (Ephesians 6:10, 11). Check your armor daily. Your armor should be nicely worn and scarred, this shows the enemy that you are not afraid of a fight. But whatever you do, make sure your armor has no cracks.

Skype Exorcisms?

1/1/2018

0 Comments

So I am often told that Skype Exorcisms is not Biblical. First, let's keep in mind that Skype did not exist during the times of Jesus.

Today, I want to make a case to why it does work and how God is using it to set the captives free.

I often minister to people from all around the globe. Many of them don't have access to an exorcist or if they do, they are often told that Christians cannot have demons, or that they need to see a doctor. Unfortunately, many men of God are afraid of the devil. Some of them do not even want to talk about it. As a result, many people are kept under bondage. God does not want this. So he has me and a few other exorcist from around the world providing this service.

I will cite 3 scriptures that are an example of how Jesus healed and delivered from demons without having that person in His presence.

1) Luke 7:1-10 Jesus heals the Centurions Servant. In this case, the Centurion understands the authority of Christ, and knows that Jesus can heal without being present. This is an act of faith. Jesus in returns heals the servant.

2) John 4:46-54 A nobleman's son is healed. In this case, the son of a nobleman was sick. The nobleman asked Jesus to heal his son. Because the nobleman showed faith, Jesus healed his son without actually being in the presence of the nobleman's son.

3) Acts 19:12 Aprons and handkerchiefs were brought from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits left them.

Now if God used aprons and handkerchiefs to cast out demons, how much more is He to use one of His servant through the technology of Skype to help set the captives free.

Fellow workers of Christ. God has provided you with technology to help set those is bondage free. Use these tools, given to us by God, to set the captives free around the world. The need is so great, and Skype is so effective.

I ask that in 2018, you would be more open minded about God's ability to use these resources. This is my prayer. God bless

Why I do Skype Exorcisms

11/30/2017

8 Comments

This is why I perform Skype Exorcisms. Skype allows us to free people in areas in which Exorcist and Deliverance Ministers cannot get to. Here is a testimony taken from Bob Larson's blog:

A SKYPE ENCOUNTER WITH THE LORDS OF KARMA!

This is the demon Bob Larson encountered while doing a Skype Exorcism.

It's unusual when I meet a new group of demons in a Kingdom I've not faced before. It happened last week during a Skype session.

Almost every day I do computer/internet Skype exorcisms and healing prayers with people all over the world. A Skype session is effective. We see each other, and I discern by observation what is happening as I pray.

A few days ago, during a Skype session with a woman named Linda (not her real name), evil spirits manifested, calling themselves "The Lords of Karma." Because of intense physical suffering, Linda had sought help from a healer who put magnets on Linda's head and channeled "energy" to reorder her DNA. "The healer was really a witch," the demons declared. "She called on the gods of eastern meditation and put us inside Linda's soul."

Without that Skype session who knows what torment Linda might have suffered. Many times, an Encounter or Skype session is the only hope to be free from demonic torment.If you, or someone you know, lives with spiritual oppression, schedule a Skype today!

You can schedule a Skype deliverance with me today, by emailing me, Pastor Miguel, at [email protected]

Lilith

11/27/2017

1 Comment

Interesting story. We do find the spirit of Lilith during our deliverance sessions. Many cultures believe that she is either a vampire, a Succubus, or a demonic spirit that steals children at night. One of the ways of weakening this spirit is by asking the spirit to kneel before the deliverance minister. This is not done to humiliate the person receiving deliverance, but to humiliate the rebellious spirit. Once the spirit kneels before the minister, the spirit is surely defeated and can easily cast out.
