Christian teaching on “deliverance ministry” has often proved divisive due to conflicting views. At one end of the spectrum is the view that a Christian indwelt by the Holy Spirit cannot be oppressed by demonic spirits, while the belief at the opposite end is one that asserts that demons are the cause of every sickness and hardship in life. Then there is a range of views between these two.
Regardless of where we stand, Scripture is clear that Christians are in a battle for their lives:
“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms” (Eph. 6:12). As this verse makes plain, humankind is constantly targeted by spiritual powers of wickedness arrayed in heavenly places, whose substance is not “flesh and blood,” that seek our ruin. If we are honest, our Christian experience confirms how our life is a conflict and continual wrestling against these powers.
Scripture also mentions how the devil can exert control in a believer’s life where he has been allowed access. The Apostle Paul warned the Ephesian believers not to allow the devil a “foothold” in their lives (Eph. 4:27). In other words, they were not to allow Satan to oppress their lives and to influence their thinking and behavior.
Involvement in willful sin, such as immorality, idolatry, unrestrained anger, unforgiveness, and non-Christian practices, provides an entry point for demonic oppression. Our personal responsibility is to deny the enemy access by renouncing these things and ensuring all access points are closed to him.
In this teaching, Jeremy will outline the biblical nature of deliverance and will provide us with a balanced approach to closing doors to enemy activity for ourselves, so that we might experience the fullness of God’s healing and restoration.
