Driving out demons
I believe any born again believer can perform “self deliverance.” In Jesus’
name we have authority to cast or drive out demons. Mark 16:17
makes that clear. You can lift up your voice like Jesus and say, “In
Jesus’ name demons go!” Let’s get bold and lead people into the fullness
of what Jesus paid for them. First we must start by getting ourselves
delivered and established in Christ. Once that is done we can
begin to affect others lives’ effectively. Then the Lord can begin to use
us to affect our city, nation, and even the world.
Self deliverance
I believe in most cases people can deliver themselves. If someone has
known sin that has brought demonic bondage into his/her life, there will
need to be confession of that sin which is legal ground for demons to
remain. After that doorway (gate of hell) is closed, and the works of
satan destroyed, then one can say out loud, “I command you demons
that came in because of __________ sin to go now in Jesus’ name!”
Don’t go by feelings! You may not feel different during or after deliverance.
Things may seem like they haven’t changed at first because the
demons can attack you from the outside with the same feelings or
thoughts they attacked you with when they were in you. You have to
stand in faith that demons have to obey God’s word. This is the time
to start thanking and praising God for the victory. I will say that if you
have been deeply involved in satanism, the occult, or a false religion,
you will probably need some help in deliverance. But when you confess
a sin or iniquity, you must believe it is done by the blood of Jesus,
whether you feel different or not. If you take authority and break a
curse or destroy a stronghold of satan, you must believe it is done by
faith. You may not feel different. Last, again I say, if you command a
demon to go, they have no choice. Believe it is done, and God will
back you up!
A passive mind: great difficulty in deliverance
The one thing that poses one of the greatest difficulties in deliverance
is a passive mind. This can also allow someone to lose their deliverance
and let demons back in! Many people in New Age, Eastern Religions,
or the occult have a great difficulty dealing with this. They have
become steeped in Yoga, Meditation, and blanking out their minds.
New Age and Hinduism teach one to blank out their mind and connect
to “god” who is everything (how weird is that). I do believe that all mental
illness is demonic in nature, but I believe once deliverance happens
people will still struggle with depression, loneliness, fears, etc…as long
