DELIVERANCE FROM DEMONS
These notes may be reproduced except for commercial purposes
(To be used together with pamphlet "How to Break
Curses")
1. OUR BODY IS INTENDED TO BE THE TEMPLE OF
THE HOLY SPIRIT
(1 Corinthians 3:16,17; 1 Corinthians 6:19,20)
Plan of Satan to defile temple, eg sexual intercourse outside
of marriage, perverted sex, smoking addiction, alcohol addiction.
My first deliverance - spirit of abortion cast out of Christian.
Man aged 40 years curled up like foetus and screamed. Mother
had tried to abort him when he was in the womb.
Radio reporter had similar vision of angels around our home.
Study became like a zoo.
2. SATAN SEEKS TO INVADE THE BODY OF THE
BELIEVER AND THE UNBELIEVER
(1) Can a Christian have a demon?
Correct terminology:
(a) Nothing in original Greek to justify putting the word
"possessed" alongside the word "demons". The correct
translation is to have an unclean, evil spirit. (Matthew
11:18)
(b) A Christian cannot be possessed by demons but can be under
the influence of or have an evil spirit. Ananias and Sapphira. (Acts
5:3)
Example. (Proverbs 20:27; Proverbs 20:30)
I prayed for a pentecostal pastor of 20 years experience who
had breathing problems. He manifested demons before he was healed.
(2) Satan is an intelligence who wants to stop us being a
Christian or being an effective Christian. (Romans 6:6; Romans 6:11)
(3) Satan has descending orders of authority in the heavens. (Ephesians
6:12)
3. JESUS HAS SPOILED SATAN'S AUTHORITY
(Colossians 2:15)
Eg Allied invasion of Europe 1944. Also note Daniel 10:13. (cf
Singapore Cathedral, Vanuatu, Suva Cathedral)
4. THE STRONG MEN (Matthew 12:29)
(1) Spirit of Jezebel which works with the spirit of Ahab
in men. (1 Kings 16:29-33)
Isaiah 47:8-10,12; Revelation 2:20-21 False prophets, sexual
immorality. Things offered to idols.
Origin: Disobedience to the commandment not to worship idols.
(Exodus 20:1-5; Deuteronomy 6:5)
(a) She established idolatry (1 Kings 16:30-33; 1 Kings 21:26)
Spirit of Jezebel means mother-child religion.
Double-mindedness (James 1:8) schizophrenia. Ahab was weak-minded (1
Kings 21:4), was the tool of his wife, Jezebel (1 Kings 21:7&25).
Isaiah 47 - Senility (verse 6), drug abuse (verse 9), occult worship
and witchcraft (verse 9), illicit sexual sins (verse 8), terror (verse
12 - NIV version), astrology (verse 13), Queen of kingdoms (Revelation
17:1-6; Revelation 17:15).
(b) Fruits of Jezebel: Radical feminism (eg worship of Wicca),
homosexuality, the occult.
Sickness (Revelation 2:22-23). Strike her children dead. Divorce.
(Revelation 2:20)
(c) Children of Jezebel Child's name "Terror".
Nimrod - Semerimus - Astaroth. Mother-child pattern - demonic Queen
of Heaven, Venus, Diana, Astaroth, Semerimus, Nimrod.
Masculine characteristics. Example of woman of 50 years of age who
raised her skirts like a child of 5 as the demon of rebellion
manifested.
Spirits under the control of Jezebel
Children (Isaiah 47:8) Addictions, adultery, arrogance, broken
marriages, charms, deception, divination, domination, drugs, fear,
radical feminism, filthiness (of the spirit and the flesh), fornication,
free love, frigidity, hatred, harlotry, heresies, homosexuality,
idolatry, incest and indecency (comes as result of a curse from a
previous generation involved in idolatry), jealousy, lasciviousness,
lust, unclean thoughts, masturbation, occultic things, perverted sexual
acts, oral sex, false religion and heresies (eg Mormonism, Jehovah's
Witnesses, Herbert Armstrong, Children of God), pride, sorcery,
schizophrenia, spiritism, spiritual blindness (eg Freemasonry,
Mormonism); spirit of religion, witchcraft, ie domination, lying,
blasphemy, covetousness, humanism. The ruling spirit under Jezebel is
DECEPTION.
Note: Four downward steps: pride, rebellion, deception,
perversion. (Cut cords into heavenlies)
Note that Jezebel often lurks in the background, waiting to
send its demonic power into a young child, either in the womb or after
birth. The Jezebelic chain has often been established through the
generations and the spirit is a familiar spirit, following the
generations, but waiting for its chance to strike, eg at a time of
trauma or shock or anger, rejection etc, it then enters the child and
from then on the child will begin to exhibit Jezebelic tendencies.
(Uncover her.)
(2) Anti-Christ (1 John 2:18; 2 Thessalonians 2:3-8)
Groupings of spirits (Galatians 5:20-21; Ephesians 5:4)
Spirits of abortion, anger, bitterness, blasphemy, corrupt
communications, curses, dissension, drunkenness, envy or hatred, fear,
filthy language, lack of faith, lying, malice, murder, nightmares,
outbursts of wrath, poverty, rebellion, spirits of wretchedness,
rejection, selfish ambitions, stealing, strife, torment, unbelief,
unforgiveness. (Eg Rock Festivals). Frigidity.
Manifestations: Sleepiness, yawning, various kinds of infirmity that
respond slowly to prayer.
(3) Death and Hell (Revelation 20:13-14)
Spirit of Death and Hell
Groupings of spirits: Curses such as frequent accidents,
succession of deaths in families. Remember to reverse the curse,
"Bless those who curse you, bless and curse not." (Matthew
5:44) Sickness, pain, plagues on Christians, breathing problems, guilt,
condemnation (Eg Luke 13:11 - woman bound by spirit of infirmity).
Results:
(a) Guilt (b) Torment of hell
(c) Prison (d) Physical infirmities
(e) Spirit of stupor (f) Lung difficulties
(g) Fear of death. (h) Sorrow, regrets, hopelessness, loneliness,
darkness, depression and fear.
(4) Unholy Trinity: Cast out Jezebel, then Antichrist, then
Death and Hell. (Revelation 18:7&8; 19:20; 20:14)
(5) Control Spirit: Many people have a control spirit which
will deny the truth. The devil can bring peace as well as turmoil.
Control spirits act to control the person and prevent deliverance.
The function of the control spirit is two-fold:
(a) To shield the human spirit from hurt.
(b) To bring calmness.
This demon frequently comes in during childhood as a result of a
trauma, eg one day a child's father says, "I am going away and will
not come back." Youngster may well take on the demon which eases
the pain.
5. CASTING OUT OF DEMONS
Jesus always commissioned His disciples to both preach the gospel
and cast out demons.
(Matthew 10:1; Mark 3:14-15; Mark 16:15-18)
6. DESCRIPTION OF DEMONS
Demons are spirits without bodies. Angels have bodies but demons
usually do not. Demons have personalities.
(1) They have a WILL (Matthew 12:44)
(2) They have EMOTIONS (James 2:19)
(3) They have KNOWLEDGE (Mark 1:23,24)
(4) They have SELF-AWARENESS (Mark 5:9)
Many times I have found demons will name themselves, giving such
names as anger, hate, envy, jealousy and fear.
Praying for a woman with long-standing condition in her stomach. Demon
said, "I won't go, this is my home, I will not leave her."
Asked the demon its name. It said, "Legion" and then
disappeared and she was healed.
(5) They have a CONSCIENCE too seared to respond
(1 Timothy 4:2)
(6) They have an ABILITY TO SPEAK (Mark 1:24)
Sometimes voice is high-pitched and sometimes screams or gabbles.
Will frequently speak out of people as we are casting demons out.
7. HOW DEMONS ACT
(1) They ENTICE (James 1:14)
(2) They DECEIVE - eg heresies. (Timothy 4:1&2)
(3) They ENSLAVE (Romans 8:15) Eg compulsive talking, eating,
addictions to alcohol, smoking, masturbation.
(4) They TORMENT and oppress (2 Timothy 1:7) Fear,
condemnation, doubt. Many people feel lighter when they have been
delivered. They say, "Something heavy has left me."
(5) They DRIVE AND COMPEL (Luke 8:29)
Eg lust, murder assault.
(6) They DEFILE (Titus 1:15) Eg rock festivals.
(7) Their function is to HARASS.
(8) They often work in groups, eg anger,
fear, violence, defiling, rejection etc.
8. DEMONS FIGHT AGAINST OUR PEACE
(1) Against our PERSONAL HARMONY
(2) Against our PEACE OF MIND
(3) Against our PHYSICAL WELL-BEING
(4) They cause disruption with other people,
especially those close to us.
9. THE GREAT DISTINCTIVE MARK IS
RESTLESSNESS
Demons drive, compel, torment and harass. Fight against inner harmony
and cause disruption in relationships.
Gifts of discernment of spirits (1 Corinthians 12:10). This is
a thought, vision or impression or the audible voice from the Holy
Spirit, given by God, which makes us realise that wrong spiritual forces
can be effecting a person or even ourselves.
10. HOW THEY OPERATE
(1) From OUTSIDE the body. (2) From WITHIN the body.
If they are outside, we must resist them. (James 4:7)
If they are within the body, we must expel them. (Mark 1:39)
11. THE AREAS IN WHICH THEY AFFECT US
(1) Our emotions, attitudes, relationships, eg they cause
resentment, hatred, fear or rebellion. Persistent, compulsive, bring
fear.
(2) The thoughts of the mind, eg doubt, unbelief, indecision,
procrastination, compromise.
(3) In the tongue, eg lying, cursing, gossip, blasphemy.
Psychiatrists claim that people tell up to 200 lies a day without
knowing it. Spirit of lying can rest on our tongue like a spirit of
unclean talk and blasphemy.
(4) In the sexual area, eg perversion, homosexuality and
masturbation.
(5) In addiction - alcohol, nicotine, gluttony, anorexia -
food (root is often frustration).
Following true repentance I place my hand on their nose and
ask them to breathe in and out.
(6) Physical infirmities (Luke 13:12-13)
Eg tumours, heart attacks, cancer, arthritis, allergies, cramps,
asthma.
12. OTHER AREAS THEY ATTACK
(1) Psychological areas, eg if we have recurrent evil and
disruptive emotional attitudes which dominate us against our will, eg
resentment, hatred, fear, envy, jealousy, pride.
(2) We have moods which are unreasonable and extreme, eg we
can become very talkative or we can change to taciturn depression.
(3) Physical: There can be unnatural restlessness and talkativeness.
Enslaving habits, eg gluttony, alcohol, nicotine, drugs, sexual
immorality, perversion of all kinds, uncontrollable, unclean thoughts or
looks, blasphemy, mockery, unclean language.
(4) Persistent or violent opposition to the truth of Scripture
and the work of the Holy Spirit.
(5) Unscriptural doctrine or prohibitions, unnatural
asceticism, superstitions observances (eg charms, fortune-telling,
astrology, mediums).
Note: One of the foregoing symptoms alone would not
necessarily be conclusive indication of demon present, but where several
symptoms are found together, the probability of demon activity is
extremely high.
13. HOW DEMONS ENTER
(1) Through our own sin, eg idolatry, rebellion.
(1 Samuel 15:23; Romans 6:6; Galatians 5:16-21))
In Tonga, I prayed for a young homosexual who had a stunted leg.
As you renounce homosexuality, his leg was totally healed. He was
subsequently discipled as a Christian by the Prime Minister of Tonga.
(2) Through the sin of our ancestors, eg idolatry.
(Exodus 20:5)
Examples: Rejection, spirits of grief, spirit of
memories.
Effect of hereditary bondages:
I prayed for a boy who was born totally deaf. The word
of knowledge was that it was the result of the mother's extensive
involvement in fortune telling. She repented and the boy was healed.
(3) Domination of one person by another, eg spirit of Jezebel.
(4) Through our mind - through our thought life - fantasy.
(5) Touching dead bodies. (Numbers 19:11)
(6) Shock (particularly at times of accident)
(7) Grief
(8) Accidents
(9) Marriage breakdowns
(10) Habits, eg masturbation, smoking, oral sex, bestiality.
(11) Soul ties
(12) Transference:
(a) Moving with people who are not Christians.
(b) Movies, television, music, magazines.
(c) Alcoholism.
(d) Transference of spirits in a church.
(e) Scattered souls. (Proverbs 6:27)
(f) Sexual intercourse, child molestation.
(g) Satanically inspired music, eg some forms of rock music
and dancing. Woman in Cook Islands renounced a spirit which had entered
her while watching certain forms of dancing with sexual overtones in an
island in the South Pacific. The spirit left her with a tremendous noise
and she was finally set free - spirit of lust had entered through her
eyes. Rock `n Roll, back masking, Jonathan Livingstone Seagull
(13) Entry of witchcraft through feet and womb.
(14) Unforgiveness. (Matthew 18:34-35) Eg man who was healed
of arthritis in his hand in church at Eketahuna.
(15) Rejection. Can occur at conception, in mother's
womb, baby not bonded, adopted child, hereditary rejection, practices in
the family home, caused by peers, self-rejection. This causes problems
in later life.
(16) Spirits of tradition, pride and prejudice and religion.
Encumbrances of tradition.
Doctrinal obsessions, legalism, personal prejudices.
(17) Occult. (Deuteronomy 18:9-12)
Familiar spirits affecting families.
Influences of witchcraft: Abnormal fears, especially in the
dark, disturbing dreams, hatred of being left alone, spirits of
Antichrist. Testimony of woman healed from bleeding - spirit out of ear
- fortune teller at age of 10.
Results of involvement in the occult:
Depression, suicidal thoughts, no desire for prayer and Bible study,
inner resistance to the Word of God, no word of prayer coming to one's
lips, visions of ghostly forms, fear, blasphemous thoughts against God
and Christ, manic fits, visions of people in past generations, religious
delusions, inability to make decisions, feelings of anxiety, gripping
feeling about the throat, voices that you cannot get rid of no matter
how much you fight, fits of rage, melancholia, schizophrenia.
(18) Ethnic traditions, culture and environment, eg Japanese
ancestor worship, religious spirits.
(19) False religions Teachings which deny John 10:9.
(20) Heresies (1 Timothy 4:1-2) Eg Jehovah's Witnesses,
Mormons, Freemasonry. Note curses pamphlet.
(21) Curses: Self-imposed, relational, by witchdoctors etc, by
unscriptural covenants. Example of man who saw father try to throttle
his mother when he was 5. Hated his father. Was told for
years later, "You are just like your father." This became a
spirit.
(22) Watching people die, especially after nursing them.
(23) Fire-walking , eg Fiji and India.
(24) Charms and fetishes in our homes. (Deut. 7:25-26)
(25) Yoga and martial arts Kung Fu, Aikido, Tae Kwon Do,
Karate, Tai Chi, Judo (rooted in Taoism and Buddhism).
(26) Transcendental Meditation, Extra Sensory Perception,
Hypnosis.
