   | Online DeliveranceA) Are you saved?While deliverance will benefit the unsaved it may not be a permanent fix if the host is not born anew. Even if the host is a born again Christian there is no guarantee that once the devil is ejected that it will not come back. The only one with any chance of remaining free from the harassment of evil spirits is the Christian that is actively growing and obeying the will of God. It is of utmost importance that if we want to remain free that we enter Salvation with the intention of remaining and following all that God tells us to do.
B) Why do demons return after being cast out?The scriptures are clear on this subject: MAT 12:43-45 "Now when the unclean spirit goes out of a man, it passes through waterless places, seeking rest, and does not find {it.} "Then it says, 'I will return to my house from which I came'; and when it comes, it finds it unoccupied, swept, and put in order. "Then it goes, and takes along with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first. That is the way it will also be with this evil generation." The spirit finds the place unoccupied, so it decides to reoccupy his former dwelling.
The Holy Spirit lives within our spirit and has access to our soul and body through our spirit. As we grow in spirit (that is our spirit) and faith; the residence of God's Holy Spirit is enlarged, therefore, we possess more power and divine life. This power and divine life is what is available to us and others for divine healing and deliverance. With the increase in strength come more control over our lives (soul and body). If we are growing actively, we will be experiencing the increasing freedom from the demonic automatically, for self deliverance will take place. For most demonic problems self deliverance is the best. When we reach the strength that demons have to leave there will be less of the chance for them coming back. The definition of self deliverance includes demons being cast out without any outside help and also the casting out of demons while in prayer with others. This does not include a purposed or planned deliverance session. The reason that I have included times when praying in groups is because when we grow and increase in strength, faith, and spirit - demons begin to lose their hold on our lives. As demons lose control, they become what I consider unstable. They are no longer entrenched in our souls and bodies and are hanging onto their once prized possession with very little success. They are like a thief that is using a rope to enter a third story window but is having great difficulty. Although the rope is attached to the house, the window is blocked in and provides no access. It is in prayer with others that there can be enough power to cut the rope and sever any hold the devil had over us. Many times no one has any knowledge of anything happening but the one completely released. At other times someone may have knowledge that they drove the demon away but will not know from whom. There are times when a possessed person needs outside help and nothing they do will remedy the situation. Do not deceive yourself and think that you can handle an increasingly bad problem on your own. Get help before you do something that will destroy your life, your family=s life or your church=s life. |
How do we prevent the demons from coming back? We need to fill the area with
the Holy Spirit and our spirit. The Holy Spirit operates through our spirit and
unless they both take up possession of the freed area we will find ourselves
back in bondage in short order. That is why it is imperative that if you are not
saved, that you follow the
