NOTE: Deliverance is the act of expelling demons out of Christians in e the Name of Jesus to set the captives and so they can be the people God wants them to be without demonic henderance

Obstacles to Deliverance in the Minds of Men


ideas from Win Worley:

1. Fear and Terror At the Mention of Demons, Devil or Deliverance

2.Unbelief: There is no such thing as the devil or demons

3. Demons are real, but too powerful for us to confront

4. Deliverance is Valid; however it should be left to experts

5. Christians cannot have demons

6. Demons have no activity in Civilized Countires. Only in remote countries who are active in witchcraft

7. They will coem back 7 times worse to the saved.

8. Deliverance must never be done in public

9.Deliverance is just a matter of faith

10.Deliverance must be with(or without) manifestations

11. Demonology and deliverance Glorifies the Devil. We should only keep our minds on Jesus

12.Person who gets involved in deliverance sufferes personal attacks from the devil.

13. Jesus Did it all for Us; we dont need to fight.

Well, a lot has been on my heart lately... recently i have been studying deliverance ministry stuff.. aka exorcism. I have been praying about how the Church of God is not prepared for the changes in society. Our churches are gunna have to answer when people come to them filled with demons or seeking answers to why the Omen, Exorcist, Emily Rose and so on has so much in it. I have recently gone to a church that didnt even know about deliverance ministry. That struck the heart because in this day and age people are turning to occult practices, D&D, witchcraft like it is nothing because it is being outspoken on the tv and in movie. The church and every christian is going to have to prepare themselves for the onslot of people seeking answers and tired of being in bondage. We need to as christians put on our Armour and prepare ourselves because we " Dont not fight against flesh and blood." Churchs and people of this age are being veiled[2 cor 4:4] to the fact that we have so much waring and battles going on that we cant even see. Prepare yourself because we need to set the captives free if the church isnt going to do it with us!

Ask me any topic of the bible, i will research it and give you the answer.

Many churches know nothing about exorcism/ deliverance ministry.. and so many people are living in bondage when Jesus is our solution.



What do you know about exorcism... more than the movie the exorcist?
Could you do it if God told you too right now?

DEUT 18:11 NACROMANCER and WITCHCRAFT [PART 1]: PETITION AND INTERCESSION

Petition/ Intercession Topic:

Petition: In the Greek
155{aitema} require, request, petition

Phil 4:6 ->“6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication{155}, with
thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;”

à Directly to God!
à be made known 1107 {gnorizo}

Intercession: In the Greek
1783 {enteuxis} intercession, prayer, a meeting with, to converse, petition

1 Tim 2:1-4“1 Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of
thanks be made for all men, 2 for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead
a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. 3 For this is good and
acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all men to be saved and to
come to the knowledge of the truth.

à This was written to Timothy at the Church of Ephesus. Telling him to pray
first on behalf of all men and pray for them. Not saints plead for us but our
pastors pleading on behalf of people.

1793 {entugchano} to light upon a person, meet to have conversation, to pray, intercede for
Romans 8:27“27 Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is,
because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of
God.”

à He being the Holy Spirit makes intercession on behalf of the saints.
à Saints 40 {Hagios} most holy thing, a saint, holy
àSet apart or made right by God.
à those things, people set apart or made right by God, sanctified.
à that would be all those who except Christ and become sanctified
àthat would be all objects set aside for holy use[referring to lifeless objects]
àAlso used in bible with Holy Spirit.


5241 {huperentugchano} to make intercession, intercede for another

Romans 8:26“26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should
pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us[a] with groanings
which cannot be uttered.”

à Holy Spirit, part of the Trinity, Part of God intercedes for us.


Biblical Practice of Intercession

Old Testiment: No Holy Spirit Available

[b]A) Abraham:
Gen 17: 18 “18 And Abraham said to God, “Oh, that Ishmael might live before You!”
à petition God

Gen 18:22 “22 Then the men turned away from there and went toward Sodom, but
Abraham still stood before the LORD.”

à Also known as petitioning

Gen 18:23 “23 And Abraham came near and said, “Would You also destroy the
righteous with the wicked?”

à questioning God

Gen 17:9 “9 And God said to Abraham: “As for you, you shall keep My covenant, you
and your descendants after you throughout their generations.”

Gen 18:13 “13 And the LORD said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Shall I
surely bear a child, since I am old?’ “

Abraham Spoke to God directly and God to Abraham, how much more can we petition and speak to God when we have Him living in us.

B) Moses:
Ex 3:11[/b] “11 But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I
should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?”

Ex 4:10 “10 Then Moses said to the LORD, “O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither
before nor since You have spoken to Your servant; but I am slow of speech and
slow of tongue.”

Ex 3:4 “4 So when the LORD saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from
the midst of the bush and said, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.”

Ex 4:27 “27 And the LORD said to Aaron, “Go into the wilderness to meet Moses.”
So he went and met him on the mountain of God, and kissed him.

Moses Spoke to God directly and God to Moses, how much more can we petition and speak to God when we have Him living in us.

C) King David:

1 Sam 23:2 “2 Therefore David inquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go and attack
these Philistines?” And the LORD said to David, “Go and attack the
Philistines, and save Keilah.”

1 Sam 23:10 “10 Then David said, “O LORD God of Israel, Your servant has certainly
heard that Saul seeks to come to Keilah to destroy the city for my sake.”

à praying to God and petitioning mercy

2 Sam 12:16“And the LORD struck the child that Uriah’s wife bore to David, and it
became ill. 16 David therefore pleaded with God for the child, and David
fasted and went in and lay all night on the ground.

à petition for others

A man after Gods own heart sat daily talking to God and asking for needs. When he was a king he pleaded for Gods mercy for kingdom.

D) Hannah’s Prayer
1 Sam 2:1-10 spoken direct to God about the current situation and needs.

E) Psalms are all prayers, psalms to God directly. NOTE NO continuous repetition!

These are only a few example. There is also lot, noah and so on. All accounts in the old testament of petition, prayer on ones own behalf and behalf of others are all to God directly. Read the Word and find out for yourself. Not once in the entire old testiment does a man or woman plead to a dead man or woman to petition God. Not even to Elijah who never died.

<----In Stevoh's Opinion ---->

To know God? What is: to know God? Sometimes it's easier to explain what something is by explaining what something is not.
To know God is not merely to be part of a religion or live by religious precepts or concepts. To know God is not merely being able to quote scriptures or know how to win a religious argument. To know God also isn't convincing yourself you believe in God or His laws or His ideologies. To answer this most important question one needs to ask what it is to know their friends, their brother or sister or even their parents.
For us to know God and God To know us requires us to spend time learning about one another. I realize God is God and doesn't really require this method to know us but we need it to know Him. You cannot truly know a friend without conveying to them who you are and receiving from them who they are. So many people treat God as only a religion and not as an entity we can have a relationship with. When we pray we are conveying to God who we are and what's important to us. Don't forget to give God quite time so He can respond in kind to you. I realize that most people don't hear an audible voice or even a voice in their minds; nevertheless, look at the people who are able to develop an online relationship with people they've never personally met and they are able to become very close to this distant online person. God has already given us a written dialogue of who He is and what's important to Him. Spend time getting to know God. When you pray, realize you are communicating with the best friend you could ever have. Tell God what's been happening in your day by telling Him what you found exciting or troublesome or any other thing you would normally tell a good friend or confidant. Be totally honest with God for your sake because He already knows the truth. Trust God with all you say and do. He will communicate in some fashion with you in time. God wants a personal relationship with you probably more than you want with Him. As I've told my children: You were never a mistake. I had each and every one of you because I wanted you. I want a relationship with my children often more than they want with me. I believe God is the same to the "Nth" degree!

I will be on vacations in the boonies for the next 60 days and will update "In Stevoh's Opinion" then. Until then God Bless!
