Assembly of God Pastor Encounters Demons
I have been a member of Hegewisch Baptist Church several years. Recently a work assignment took me out of state where I met a young man who had been an Assembly of God pastor for about four years. I began to share about Hegewisch and the ministry to believers. When […]
How Demons Operate
The question always arises, “How do you know if a person is demonized?” Those who question persons engaged in deliverance work often ask, “How can I know if I have a demon?” We must not underestimate the enemy or think that he necessarily seeks to produce gross or crude behavior. […]
Results When Demonization of Christians is Denied
False teachings are being perpetuated by the erroneous and unscriptural position that believers cannot have demons. The following is a partial list of the pitfalls associated with taking such a position: 1. The old sin nature becomes the “whipping boy” and the middle ground between God and the demons. 2. […]
What About Demons in Christians?
“In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, to deliver such an one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus” […]
Beware! Try the Spirits
I must mention something about certain types of people who may block or hinder deliverance. Probably you are aware of groups who practice snake handling and even drink poisons to demonstrate their spirituality. This is a demonic mockery of Mark 16:15-18, for “thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.” […]
A Special Word to the Women
In I Corinthians 11:10, Paul states that a wife should be subject to (literally, come under the protection of) her own husband, and “for this cause ought the woman to have power on her head, because of the angels.” The Phillips translation: “she ought to bear on her head an […]
Providing Proper Spiritual Covering
Many seeking leadership positions do not realize the heavy responsibility which comes with it (James 3:1). It is equally true that man seekers are not qualified to assume it because of emotional, chronological and/or spiritual immaturity. Motivation for desiring leadership roles is crucially important. Anything less than a pure desire […]
Attack! Attack! Attack!
The need for a dedicated and fearless army of deliverers grows more apparent as we move further into all-out warfare with the demonic legions of Satan. We have a “power of attorney.” We are authorized to use the name of Jesus Christ and the position His shed blood and resurrection […]
God’s Plan for Leadership
When the God-called leader Moses held up his arms over the valley, the battle went for God’s people (Exodus 17). Aaron and Hur were not appointed to take over, replace, or even advise Moses in the course of action that he was to take. They were to help him do […]
Forgiveness
Forgiveness is hard to give because it hurts to extend it to those who are undeserving and hard-hearted. It implies acceptance rather than legalistic demands of compensation for injury done. This makes for a costly operation. To release a wrong-doer instead of exacting a just penalty requires that we reach […]
