Teaching on Spirits: Day 19

What is deliverance ministry?

"In Christianity, deliverance ministry refers to the activity of cleansing a person of demons and evil spirits in order to address problems manifesting in their life as a result of the presence of said entities and the root causes of their authority to oppress the person. Adherents to this theological concept attribute physical, psychological, spiritual and emotional problems that people suffer to the activities of the oppressing spirits following the example of Jesus Christ given in the gospel." (Wikipedia)

Although we discredit Wiki often...and at times we should, this definition is correct.

Essentially deliverance ministry isn't a specified form of ministry although some people "major" in it. It's available to all who have the Holy Spirit living in them even if you're still not as holy or righteous as God has called you to be. There's much to be said about how a holy / righteous lifestyle will increase the Spirit's power in your life. Certain levels of "power" and humility are needed for certain chains to be broken.

Because the Church doesn't fully have the best understanding of the Gospel (in its fullness) this is why some "major" in it and other areas as well (e.g. Praise & Worship, Administration, etc.)
